In the last two weeks of the election campaign, several prominent Catholic news outlets, periodicals, Catholic internet blogs, and other Catholic publications, some officially endorsed by the Catholic Church (mostly available by subscription only and thus only came to the attention of Catholics, thus avoiding general public scrutiny and comment) came out strongly that it was the duty of ALL Catholics to NOT support the Liberals or other left-leaning parties; and completely condemned Carney for deserting his Catholic faith, even though Carney was a regularly practicing Catholic. They all did it collectively, in what was obviously a planned, coordinated, conspiratorial centrally directed process. It was driven by the highest levels of the Catholic Church, as was made clear in many of the official Catholic sites, as the OFFICIAL viewpoint of the Catholic Church ((i.e., the Vatican). This was, I posit, the main reason for the dramatic shift in the polls,raising the Conservatives up 5 or six points.
The media condemns the foreign influence on our elections, and we tell Trump to stay out of our elections, yet we say nothing about a foreign power and foreign entity - the Pope and the Vatican - meddling in our sovereign elections.
We will never have free and fair elections from a Canadian perspective, Canadian culture, Canadian values, Canadian history, Canadian identity, as long as we allow a foreign religion-based Empire to influence them.
