Exactly. Can I trust that Day will fight just as hard to pass a bill that is in the interests of the country but not in the interests of his religious beliefs, as he would say.....for a bill that is in direct agreement with his faith?

Personally, I would have to say no.

That is your decision. Although looking at the 2001 Census, it seems that roughly 80% of Canadians have stated they have some sort of religious affiliation. There aren't going to be to many people left to vote for once we weed them out of the electoral process.

As a voter, when a man or woman says "I believe (for whatever reason) in X, but if the people of Canada want Y, I have no choice but to give them Y", I will give them the benefit of the doubt until I see they have betrayed my trust. I would much rather do that than give my trust to a government who has betrayed my trust for the past three terms and counting.

I see many valid arguments against the Conservatives, but the fear mongering about a Conservative Religious Jihad starting from the west and sweeping all the sinners into the Gulf of St. Lawrence is a little silly in my opinion. [/b][/quote]
Religious affiliations are fine. I have absolutley no problem whatsoever with people that follow god, Alla, William Shatner, whatever.

My problem is the trust issue. I just plain do not trust that he can objectively seperate the church from the state.
