    I could never vote for a man who’s religion comes first. I want someone, preferably not religious, who will put the country first. Just like I wouldn’t vote for an orthodox Jewish politician who wears the religious outfits, or a Christian who carries the Bible into the house. That’s why I could never vote for Singh.

      Most Christian politicians carry the bible metaphorically, in their minds and with their actions, not literally on their person. Makes for an easier time claiming they don’t want to institute a theocracy. Sounds like your methodology here can only result in furthering Christian hegemony.

    If the NDP pull this off, they’ll deserve a ton of credit. It’ll be the biggest expansion of public services in decades. We’re one of the only countries with universal healthcare but not pharmacare.
