It's strange how Christians shy away from any serious political discussion. We are living through one of those times that happens rarely - the collapse of the last western empire. The US entered World War Two in the expectation of inheriting the empires that Britain and France, in particular, were obviously about to lose. It hasn't been able to do it.

Do you think the changes (recently and those since 2008) to the CMHC will benefit Canadians?

Do you think the changes will actually affect the housing market?

I came across this article:

I find the idea that if you're giving money to charity and in debt, you're not actually giving anything, the loaner is.  Does it depend on what you would do with the money if you hadn't donated it?

Should people in debt donate?  Does the type of debt matter?
