Indigenous Voices of Faith Booklet

Is there something fundamentally incompatible between Indigenous Canadians and Christianity or other faiths? Some might say so, but many Indigenous Canadians would strongly disagree. As part of our Indigenous Voices of Faith project, we’ve interviewed 12 Indigenous Canadians about their religious faith and its interaction with their culture.

Memo: HUMA Committee’s Study of Bill C-35: An Act respecting early learning and child care in Canada

Cardus has made a submission to the House of Commons committee studying Bill C-35: An Act respecting early learning and child care in Canada. We argue that the bill is unnecessary and enshrines an inequitable program. However, if members support Bill C-35 to the next legislative stage, Cardus recommends several amendments to strengthen the legislation.
