Did Thomas Mulcair actually call evangelicals un-Canadian?
Last week I received an email from my mother, who had yet to decide who she was voting for in tomorrow’s Canadian election. “It saddens me that Mulcair paints evangelicals as un-Canadian” she wrote. Thomas Mulcair is the leader of the centre-left New Democratic Party (NDP), which if you believe the polls, will finish in third place in tomorrow’s election, despite having been the front-runner … Continue reading Did Thomas Mulcair actually call evangelicals un-Canadian?

I was really intrigued by the idea of Community Supported Agriculture, and so I did some reseach on how I could get involved in Toronto. I found a great site, the Ontario CSA Directory, which is an … Continue reading Food Box Delights
