Ron Leech is running in Calgary/Greenway
Hey, I know Ron Leech! I actually went to his church for a while. He ran last time and lost to some guy with an awesome name... I can't remember... hold on.

Ah yes, Manmeet Bhullar! Great name. Ron had a good showing for an independent though.

I remember there being a lot of crossover into politics from the pulpit when I was at that church, and the views on homosexuality (sin) and other religions (lies from the devil, go to hell for believing them) were certainly taught there.

The church that Ron Leech used to pastor had young earth creationism as part of their statement of faith, something that you had to sign that you agreed to to become a voting member of the congregation. So he probably counts.
