On these counts the appropriateness of CMU receiving public funding and its promotion of a "covert" intolerance I do not see Canadian democratic values being well served. Neither do I see the creation of missionaries of any religious/ideological stripe who push a "Big T" truth in our public sphere as contributing to a constructive and respectful public debate.

They added: "While this may be tolerated in a privately funded parochial institution that sees itself as exercising a missionary outreach to society at large, we think it is singularly inappropriate in a publically (sic) funded (their italics) liberal institution."

If this were an entirely private educational enterprise, our democratic political culture may accommodate such an intolerant approach. But when private and undemocratic principles are smuggled into the public Omega Speedmaster Vintage Black

Lately I can't shake the feeling that our country's multicultural project is sabotaging Canadian democracy. Instead of enriching and radically transforming our political culture which was its intent this project is shrinking and impoverishing our public debate. Perverted in the hands of a diverse range of groups from cultural to ideological to faith based, multiculturalism in its communal form appears more parasitic than positive to a democratic body politic.

A made in Manitoba expression of this unhealthy relationship and by no means the only one is revealed in a recent inquiry into Canadian Mennonite University's "faith test" for hiring. Last month, Canada's national professors union added CMU to a list of faith based universities whose institutional policies and culture create a climate unfriendly to academic freedom. CMU joined Trinity Western University and Crandall University on the Canadian Association of University Teachers' (CAUT) list.

Faculty complaints about a prejudicial hiring policy at CMU can be traced at least as far back as 2004. That year academic staff members of Menno Simons College, which is part of CMU but historically affiliated with and located at the University of Winnipeg, wrote to U of W president Lloyd Axworthy that non Mennonite viewpoints and non Mennonite faculty were being marginalized.

The Menno Simons faculty agreed in 2007 to a more relaxed CMU hiring policy. But CAUT investigators, while acknowledging a sincere respect for academic work among CMU administrators, found the institution generally unable or unwilling to divorce itself from some sort of faith test for hiring faculty. Such a test may seem right to many of CMU's supporters Omega Speedmaster Limited Edition 50th Anniversary but it inherently undermines academic freedom. It places the mission of a faith community and the autonomy of an institution ahead of an individual scholar's.
