Reading about the Trump administration’s cuts foreign aid, putting the lives of what Jesus called “the least of these” in danger, Canadian Christians might be tempted to be smug. Surely we wouldn't do that here!
But before they get too high-minded, those Christians should remember that the leader of one federal party has pledged “massive” cuts to Canadian foreign aid if he is elected prime minister. It could happen here, depending on the outcome of the next election.
So, when election time comes, will Christians in Canada think of the least of these when they mark their ballots? It's going to be interesting to see what happens.
