All people are unique and precious

Everyone is unique and precious. Natives insulted by an AHS employee, using a racial slur to the Kainai Board of Education school principal ... well, that employee is not working for AHS anymore.

Nobody should have to feel inferior because of race, nationality, skin colour or religion. In Canada we have people from probably every country in the world, and this is the finest, most peaceful place in the world. Some people get rich, others not; some are highly educated, others not that much but nobody should think that they are of a lower or higher race. We all have to work and do our best looking after our own and helping others if we can. We were all made by the same Creator, male or female, married or single, short or tall, we are all part of the human race.

But not everything is well when we look worldwide. Christians are persecuted in unprecedented numbers, Muslims fighting each other, and ISIS and other terrorist groups making a mess out of many countries. I have seen a picture of ISIS fighters throwing a man off a high building to his death because he was gay. This is terrible; that is barbaric.

And in Canada, remember the hundreds of Canadian unborn children killed every day. When the decision is made that the child has to go, there is no hope anymore for the child, in many cases leaving a guilt-ridden mother behind.

Every city hall and town office across Canada should have the Canadian flag flying half mast until this evil practice of aborting healthy Canadian children is outlawed.
