But the vast majority of Christians also recognize the demonstrated fact of evolution. Certainly the Roman Catholic Church does. The number who are creationists are a tiny (and resolutely stupid) minority.

We have for the first time a GG who is a professional scientist. She is not expected to check her brain at the door of Rideau Hall in assuming office.

If she had to decide in a hung Parliament between someone who respects science and someone who rejects it to pander to the narrowest-minded citizens in the country, I don't think it would be partisan to choose the science party. It would be good for the country.

We just came from nearly 10 years of a government that had no use for science that did not support its ideology. We don't need another.
