The True North Strong and Free?

A small preface: I usually steer clear of any political stuff in my blog, not that it doesn't interest me, not that I'm not informed, just that I think diversity is good and people should form their own opinions. But.

Did anyone else listen to good ole Stevie make his Canada Day speech today? I almost choked on my honey-nut shreddies when he started mentioning God... Not that I don't believe, and not that I care what he believes (or anyone else for that matter). But do we really need to bring this up in official government speeches? In a multi-faith, multi-cultural country? Are we turning into the U.S.? Is no one else concerned?
