Andrew Scheer's promise to cut foreign aid by 25 per cent seems to go against the Gospel grain, while the Trudeau government continues to sell arms to Saudi Arabia, which oppresses its own people and is fighting a brutal war in Yemen., is set to be published next month. He is about to be ordained in the Anglican Church of Canada.
It matters deeply there: A quarter of voters in the past four national elections have been white evangelicals, and 81 per cent of them voted for Donald Trump. In other words, without this massive, organized and in every sense faithful constituency, the Republicans cannot achieve victory.In Canada, evangelicals have traditionally voted Conservative, Roman Catholics Liberal, and progressive Protestants, such as members of the United Church, NDP. But strict definitions are difficult to maintain.
The issues that are often assumed to be at the forefront of the Christian community’s electoral decisions – abortion and homosexuality – are very much artificially constructed. Jesus never mentions either, there are a mere handful of references in the entire Bible, and those that do exist are deeply ambiguous and tied to their ancient origins rather than modern societal standards.
Putting the erratic and often bizarre policies of the People’s Party of Canada aside, Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer has been the least enthusiastic about immigration, and his promise to cut foreign aid by 25 per cent seems to go against that Gospel grain. Meanwhile, when it comes to preserving the planet – the protection of creation – the Liberals may have moved somewhat in the right direction, but there is a very long way to travel.
