    A day after his government was accused of infringing on civil liberties  by Ontario’s ombudsman. Premier Dalton McGuinty admitted he failed in striking a balance between individual freedom and security during the G. 20 summit in Toronto. Can we trust a premier who is so contrite with such a fundamental issue as civil liberties. How many more gaffes can we allow this government to make?

    Premier Dalton McGuinty admits his government “moved too quickly” and “failed to communicate” a secret regulatory change that police used to arrest people at the June G20 summit in Toronto.

    Earlier this week Liam Neeson entered  the lions den of criticism by  opening up the interpretation of Aslan to include Mohammed and Buddha.

    From  Daily Mail

    Ahead of the release of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader next Thursday, Neeson said: ‘Aslan symbolises a Christ-like figure but he also symbolises for me Mohammed, Buddha and all the great spiritual leaders and prophets over the centuries.
    ‘That’s who Aslan stands for as well as a mentor figure for kids – that’s what he means for me.’

    Although I’m no Christian apologist, you would have to be blind or ignorant to miss the clear connection between Christianity in the Narnia tales.
