This is a mere handful. Given what we know about how he got his College status pushed through the Ontario Legislature, his rule bending is no surprise, the more people know, the better prepared we will want to see he and his friends stay in the open. <a href="http://shuffl.wordpress.com/2008/03/01/mcvetys-crusade-against-untaxed-young-people-fing-senator-grassley-will-you-please-emmigrate-to-canada/" rel="nofollow">McVety's crusade</a> Good post tying in McVety's various connections and how the donations get er, channelled <a href="http://www.garth.ca/weblog/2008/03/02/the-godfather/" rel="nofollow">Garth Turner </a>(MP -Halton) who has tangled very publicaly with Charles, lists McVety's media interests <a href="http://www.boingboing.net/2008/02/29/loony-evangelical-cl.html" rel="nofollow">Boing Boing</a> Dr. Cory Doctrow letting our US friends know we home grow our own fundamentalists <a href="http://inthehouseandsenate.blogspot.com/2008/03/some-are-getting-job-done.html" rel="nofollow"> 900 ft Jesus</a>, good blogger, ties in Harper and McVety, the Christian and Missionary Alliance is not going to like the inference <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2008/02/canadian_bluenoses.php" rel="nofollow">PZ Meyers</a> letting our US friends know we home grow our own fundamentalists and giving us a well worded warning Mr. McVety is certainly getting the attention he desired, including the light of day shed on his various organization’s tax exempt status.

Now I've got to dig through all that California State Christian University nonsense again. But. The man needs to be stopped. He's a menace to thinking people - Christian or otherwise. I need a vacation. Oh, crap. Now I’ve got to dig through all that California State Christian University nonsense again. But. The man needs to be stopped.

Denis McGrath's post is exellent, if people don't have time to read anything else, I recommend his. JJ pointed out at unrepentent hippie how disengenous Charles McVety's remarks to Mike Duffy were. The Converative Party (his values comments grrrr) did not get the popular vote. If this has actually gone back to committee that is hopeful. Jennifer, thank you.

He has worked as a television writer and producer in Canada for decades, so he knows whereof he speaks when he talks about the chilling effect this would have on ALL Canadian film & TV productions - not just the naughty ones. Nobody is going to invest in these productions if they could suddenly and arbitrarily lose their tax credit status at the whim of some public morals squad AFTER the money is spent and production is well under way.

Since Charles McVety has decided to be our James Dobson, I guess we can play by his rules this time around. Looking forward to what you have to say Mike.

The guy running our country thinks he's George Bush, so somebody has to think they're James Dobson. Well, it stands to reason.
