There's a patch of rundown, unused space at the northwest corner of Main Street and Higgins Avenue in downtown Winnipeg. It's about 50,000 square feet -- just a little bit smaller than a football field.
And a local group wants to turn it into a brand new youth centre for the city's disenfranchised. The group in question is Youth For Christ, an evangelical Christian organization. The federal government has promised to contribute a little over three million dollars if the project is approved by Winnipeg's City Council
But critics argue that a secular government has no business using taxpayer money to support a proselytizing religious group. Pat Martin, the NDP Member of Parliament for Winnipeg Centre, has been among the most vocal critics. He has said that "offering much-needed sports opportunities is just their way of luring in young prospects."

There's much more to Y.F.C. than most people know.
I suggest the book "The Family" by Jeff Sharlet.

Disgusting behavior on the part of the Canadian government. Canadians like yourself were forced to pay for that shit with tax money I assume. Fuck that.
