Some 120 letters and e-mails arrived in the Prime Ministers’ Office last month after the Canadian Press “exposed” the fact that the federal government had contributed $544,000 to a Christian group, the Crossroads Foundation.

This was especially necessary in central Africa, some said, where Christians are particularly opposed to sodomy, as a cause of AIDS.
