On the State of Politics in Canada

Posted on: August 22, 2015 Last updated on: August 22, 2015 Written by: Blair Mahaffy Comments: 0
Canadians have a reputation for kindness and diplomacy…and then an election happens. If someone were to judge Canadians by their political advertisements, we’d have a reputation for being passive-aggressive (“he’s just not ready“) and corrupt (“enough“). This election isn’t the…

It’s been a while since I’ve responded to Ted Falk; there hasn’t been much to say about his recent posts, except that they’re more or less exactly what an MP should be writing about. He’s telling us what the government…

Posted on: April 19, 2015 Last updated on: April 19, 2015 Written by: Blair Mahaffy Comments: 5
Something that I struggle with as a Christian politician (particularly one whose primary study is in Ethics) is the question of how much morality should influence law. I know I’m not alone in this; I think we all have ideas…
