God Crosses the Border

God packed an overnight bag and headed to his northern neighbor last Monday night to see if he could spread himself, albeit thinly, across the Great White North. New Conservative Party Leader Stephen Harper ended his acceptance speech with, "God bless Canada," leaving God in thoughtful contemplation over the request.

Reaction to Harper's close, which he is known to use in all of his speeches, brought into question the lack of mentioning Christ or participating in prayer under the government's eye.

The use of that phrase indicates a significant departure from the policies of the Liberal government, which has ruthlessly expunged any mention of God from the public sphere during the 12 years they have been in power.

God feels that there is much work to be done in Canada and is proud to have been invited into yet another country's political realm.
