Now banned from expressing moral opposition to homosexuality:

A Canadian human rights tribunal ordered a Christian pastor to renounce his faith and never again express moral opposition to homosexuality, according to a new report.

In a decision dated May 30 in the penalty phase of the quasi-judicial proceedings run by the Alberta Human Rights Tribunal, evangelical pastor Stephen Boisson was banned from expressing his biblical perspective of homosexuality and ordered to pay $5,000 for “damages for pain and suffering” as well as apologize to the activist who complained of being hurt.

Look up Alex Lindsay on the Internet and you’ll find glimpses into the life of a young man preoccupied with guns and survivalism.

Mr. Lindsay’s Facebook page says he has “very conservative” political views. He lists one of his favourite quotes as, “These are the days of our lives, sleep with an AK, ride with a .45.”

Canada blocks sale of satellite company to U.S. firm

Canada tries to flex a little muscle…

In an unprecedented move, the Canadian government blocked the sale of the country’s large space equipment and satellite maker Thursday to an American company, amid concerns over Canada’s sovereignty and U.S. national security laws.

The rejection of a $1.3 billion bid by Alliant Techsystems of Minneapolis for the space operations of MacDonald Dettwiler & Associates is the first under Canada’s 23-year-old foreign investment law.

The proposal raised sensitive issues about Canada’s Arctic sovereignty that crossed party lines. It also revived a debate about control of Canada’s aerospace industry that stretched back to a decision in 1959 to cancel the development of a Canadian fighter jet in favor of purchasing American aircraft.
