Bountiful BC is a Morman polygamist communitee of about 8 thousand, split right down the middle after a fall out from FBI fugitive Warren Jeffs and another prophet/leader in Canada, Winston Blackmore.

Jeff Jarvis of Buzz Machine is reporting that the International Herald Tribune will be running headlines from Oh My News. From The Guardian:
A spokesman for the International Herald Tribune was unavailable for comment yesterday, but the company confirmed that an initial deal would see headlines pulled from OhMyNews on to the Tribune’s website.

I mentioned recently that Conservative MP Garth Turner got caught in an ambush panel with Dr. Charles McVety of Defend Marriage Canada.
Turner wrote a strong piece at his blog dealing with the ongoing issue of stacking candidate meetings with insta-members (loading a nomination meeting with new supporters) as opposed to oldsta-members (people who have been a member [...]

It’s GodBlogCon time again at Biola University.

Angry,rude emails and [...]

MP Garth Turner got caught in an ambush interview (panel discussion) at CHCH TV in Hamilton with a  religious right fundamentalist. 
Turner had been told  he’d be discussing a certain topic and wound up face to face with Defend Marriage Canada’s  Charles McVety, also of the Christian College of Toronto (Charismatic Pentecostal - blab it and grab it)  The Canadian Family Action [...]
