This is a shout out to some fellow faith bloggers. I’ll link you in a second.
First I’m linking to Heritage and Justice Canada because I want someone in The Privy Council Office checking BDBO. I would like them to know evangelicals and faith bloggers in Canada are aware of this amendment in C-10 (an economic housekeeping bill) and how it is being slipped through.

I see Charles McVety has poked his head up into the spotlight again. This time it’s about back door policy that is going to have implications on who gets to make films and tv shows in Canada. Let’s start with Charles crowing about how he helped slide an amendment into the income tax bill.

The late Independent MP from British Columbia who kept the Liberals in power in the spring of 2005 was offered a $1 million life insurance policy by the Conservatives in an attempt to win his vote, [...]

15 US bloggers were sent to Uganda for a week this February. 
Compassion Canada sent a Canadian blogger  minister to Honduras in January.
