BC ARPA groups have been initiating a quality discussion about the province's move toward full-time kindergarten over the past two weeks. Last week Monday Langley ARPA brought a panel of speakers to address a packed-house. The film of that event was used in the Bulkley Valley yesterday for a successful event there on the same topic. And tonight, Neil Dykstra, chair of Langley ARPA, was live on the air for over half an hour discussing this issue on Road Kill Radio (for the MP3, click here and here). To add...

By Neil Dykstra, leader of Langley ARPA - www.NoApologies.ca: Freedom of speech is an American concept, so I don’t give it any value (Dean Steacy, Investigator, Canadian Human Rights Commission, in sworn testimony, page 4793, May 10, 2007) Section 13 itself is finally on trial. This censorship provision in the Canadian Human Rights Act has been used by the CHRC to punish Christians and others for daring to speak strongly held beliefs, imposing punitive measures including five-figure fines and lifetime speech bans.

15 May 2009 Langley ARPA Letter to the Editor

ARPA Canada Note: Langley ARPA did an excellent job with its candidate questionnaire and referendum analysis for the churches in Langley and Aldergrove.  This letter clearly states the non-partisan nature of the group and the questionnaire. Keep up the excellent work! Langley Times - May 14, 2009 - Online comments are accepted here. Editor: I would like to respond to the criticism of the two Langley area Liberal candidates concerning their no-show at the Community Issues evening hosted by the Langley Teachers Association. It was certainly unfortunate that Mary Polak and Rich Coleman did not come to the debate. Howls of “shame” and “disgrace” came from union leaders and NDP candidates alike. However, I’d like to point out that both of the NDP candidates also avoided a forum in which they could have promoted their candidacy and defended their principles. Langley’s chapter of ARPA (Association for Reformed Political Action) requested information from all candidates in the two Langley ridings. Among those who made time to respond to us were both of the Liberal candidates.

On December 17, 2008 a new ARPA group was born, serving the Niagara peninsula of Ontario. This new group has its origins in the Dunnville and Attercliffe ARPA which decided that it would be wise to expand and include representation from surrounding cities. A lot of interest was already evident in the Grassie area when ARPA Canada came out for an event in October. ARPA Niagara now serves the churches in Attercliffe, Dunnville/Wainfleet, Grassie (Covenant), Lincoln, Smithville and Tintern. For more information, click here....
