No wonder the secular high priesthood needs a federal judge to outlaw any possible mentioning in public schools that there might be a divine origin to life, rather than the blind-chance presupposition of Darwinists (as happened in the Pennsylvania case referred to above). Canadian women have now entered the high priesthood of the avant garde (Patricia Gruben, Kay Armatage, Midi Onodera), pioneered hybrid forms (Brenda Longfellow, Cynthia Scott), added new rigour and sophistication to the documentary (Terre Nash, Gail Singer, Alanis Obomsawin, Lynne Fernie and Aerlyn Weissman, to name only a few), and carried on sustained feature filmmaking careers (Lea Pool, Patricia Rozema, Anne Wheeler, Micheline Lanctot, Sandy Wilson, Deepa Mehta).
