I moved to Canada to be with my partner full-time about a year ago. I enrolled in a graduate program at the University of Manitoba, where my focus is critical analysis of the effects of Christianities on public health, and I’ve completed my first year. It’s been a great experience, and I’ve been privileged to learn from some great professors, most of whom have encouraged to tailor assignments to my interests.
Thanks for the update. Was just telling my adult daughter about you and that I was wondering how it was going in Canada. ACLU is suing Louisiana RE 10 commandments in courtrooms. Good.
There's plenty of work to do here as well. My thesis is on human rights violations against 2SLGBTQ+ students in Christian schools that receive provincial funding (which I would have assumed didn't exist). I think people in Canada are less aware/concerned about the infiltration of religion into government because Catholicism is losing influence and the Protestant denominations that have been here historically tend towards the harmless end of the spectrum. But the increase in evangelical influence, both domestically grown and imported, is concerning.
