Trudeau model for Chretien.

Ottawa--Prime Minister Jean Chretien remains tied to Pierre Trudeau's idea that God's commandments should have nothing to do with politics. As Chretien puts it, "I can't impose my morality on others."

In August, in a Southam interview, the Prime Minister mixed religious denominations, morality, and politics, which, he said, don't mix. Although he recently declared pro-abortion as the new litmus test for Liberal candidates and the Liberal party, apparently he does not see this as imposing immorality. He also thinks of himself as "a good Catholic."

"My religion belongs to me and I have to deal with it on a personal basis," Chretien said. "It's separate from politics."

Since Trudeau's legalization of abortion in 1969, two and a half million Canadian babies in the womb will have been murdered by the end of 2000.

Comment:

The state cannot help but impose moral decisions. It does so with every piece of legislation it adopts. That's how the permissive society has been imposed on Canada. Many Canadians are looking forward to a change in political regimes, and the burying of the Trudeau-- Chretien legacy, through the imposition of different values which will acknowledge God's commandments.
