OTTAWA, February 4, 2015 (LifeSiteNews.com) – John Baird, a staunch pro-abortion and pro-homosexual cabinet minister in the Canadian government, but a strong defender of religious liberty internationally, has resigned.
Baird, 45, was a minister in the Ontario cabinet before joining the House of Commons in 2006 as Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the Conservative Party formed government. He held numerous cabinet posts, lastly as foreign minister.
