Huntley Street’s Davd Mainse Retires to Fight for Traditional Marriage

BURLINGTON, July 16, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) – David Mainse, 67, the Ottawa Valley-born host of 100 Huntley Street for 41 years, is retiring to work with Canada’s Indians and to campaign in defence of traditional marriage. Mainse’s son, Ron, will take over as host.  “My wife and I believe that our primary focus of our time and energy is to be involved with our native people in helping to address some of the difficulties that are there,” said Mr. Mainse, an honorary chief of the Oneida Tribe.  Mainse also vowed to work “on the maintaining of the word marriage to mean a man and a woman… There is enough breakdown now in the marriage structure and in the homes and so on and I think this would contribute even more to the devaluation of the concept of a man and a woman who pledged themselves for life to procreate,” Mainse told the Globe and Mail. He said marriage is a “man-woman, have children, Mother-Nature thing. I’m talking about natural law here.”  For local coverage:  https://www.globeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20030716.umainse0716/BNStory/National/
