Dear Mr. Prime Minister

RE: Constitution

I understand that the Special Joint Committee on a Renewed Constitution has recommended inclusion in the preamble to the Constitution meaningful references which acknowledge the supremacy of God over this nation and the importance of spiritual values.

I understand these references include:

"We affirm that our country is founded upon principles that acknowledge the supremacy of God,..."

"We recognize that we remain free only when freedom is founded on respect for moral and spiritual values,..."

I wish to encourage you and to thank you in exercising your leadership to ensure that these appropriate, significant, and foundational references are properly included in our Constitution.

We are encouraged throughout Scripture to be in pursuit of these ideals and I include two references (taken from the Good News Bible):

  

"Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord" (Psalms 33:12).

"A nation without God's guidance is a nation without order" (Proverbs 29:18).

Please be assured that many across this nation continue to uphold in prayer yourself and others in key leadership positions so that you may be given the grace and courage and confidence to make these God honouring decisions particularly as they affect our Constitution.

Thank you for your consideration.

Yours truly

Randall F. More, P. Eng

His Strength is My Strength - His Peace is My Peace - Upon Greg's Death - by Randall F. More

upon Greg’s Death

by Randall F. More

HIS STRENGTH IS MY STRENGTH

HIS PEACE IS MY PEACE

Your life in Christ makes you strong, and His love comforts you (Philippians 2:1 GNB).

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:6-7 NASB).

The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things: and the God of peace shall be with you (Philippians 4:9 NASB).

I can do all things through Him who strengthens me (Philippians 4:13 NASB).

And with all His abundant wealth through Christ Jesus, my God will supply all your needs (Philippians 4:19 GNB).

May you be made strong with all the strength which comes from His glorious power, so that you may be able to endure everything with patience (Colossians 1:11 GNB).

Ontario Premier Rae - Provincial Austerity - Jan 27, 1992 - letter by Randall F. More

January 27, 1992        

Honourable Robert Rae, Premier of Ontario

Room 281

Legislative Building

Dear Mr. Premier

It is with concern that I read the enclosed The Globe and Mail January 25th. article entitled, "NDP stalwarts urge Ontario to drop austerity program."

You certainly need no such advice.                  

As individuals, as families, as businesses, and as institutions we must learn to spend within our means and it is no different for governments.

Sure it would be nice during these tough economic times to increase deficit spending as an economic stimulus but only if we had been able to generate surplus funds during the many preceding prosperous years, but sadly this is not the case. Deficit spending is already out of control. We don't need more of it.

Even if increased deficit spending was the appropriate route at this particular time, the answer is not to have more "make work" projects but instead the money should be put back directly into the hands of Ontarians through cash payouts. Let the citizens decide where the money should be spent, whether it be for homes and shelter, food, clothing, transportation, or any other desired goods or services.

Let's get out from under this fallacious notion that there's such a thing as a "free ride" or a "free lunch." Let's get back to having what we can afford, spending within our means. Sure, we won't like it in the short term but we and our children will like the disastrous alternative far less.

Yours truly 

Randall F. More, P. Eng.
