Abstract(s)
Canada has a long tradition of religious leaders taking part in politics. However, Canadians are becoming increasingly uneasy about mixing religion and politics. With the election of Stephen Harper's Conservative government in January 2006, religion could be creeping into Canada's normally strictly secular politics. The Canadian institutional system nonetheless sets some limits on laws supported evangelical or fundamentalist Christians.
Le Canada a une longue tradition de figures religieuses s'impliquant en politique. Cependant, les Canadiens sont de plus en plus mal à l'aise quant au mélange politique et religion. Et pourtant, avec l'élection du gouvernement Conservateur de Stephen Harper en janvier 2006, la religion pourrait bien s'infiltrer dans la politique canadienne pourtant strictement séculaire. Néanmoins, le système des institutions politiques au Canada impose des limites aux lois soutenues par les Chrétiens évangéliques ou fondamentalistes.
