This is an example of Canadian canada values I refuse to allow our conservatives to destroy:

A young man from a war-torn country in Africa came here as a refugee, and had minimal English skills and found a job in a retirement home where I live.
He had to move from his temporary home and was riding a bike 1 1/2 hours each way to work. The weather is cold.
My friend rented him a room (at FAR BELOW the going rate- $450/month room and board) in her home where she resides with her older children. Not only that but she arranged with management here to sync his work shifts with her own and now she provides a ride to and from work free of charge.
I am proud to see my fellow Canadians reaching out and welcoming refugees and going out of their way to assist people without expecting anything in return.

Christian Nationalism meets old time graft.

It gets better:

There are two Bibles that meet the Oklahoma bid requirements for 55,000 Bibles to be placed in public schools. They are:

Lee Greenwood's $60 "God Bless the U.S.A. Bible and the $90 "We The People Bible."

Both are endorsed by Trump who presumably receives a cut of the action.

Newly formed Oklahoma Freedom Caucus supports initiative placing bibles in classrooms
...
The caucus said they believe this move will improve educational standards within the state. The state currently ranks 49th in the country for education.
___
And, of course, there's the usual claim that “The phrase ‘separation of church and state’ is not found in the U.S. Constitution," which ignores the Establishment Clause.
