What God Wants from Us This Christmas?

 

What God Wants from Us This Christmas?

Did Christmas sneak up on you as quickly as it did for me?  The older I get, the quicker the years slip by.  Before I knew it, my children were grown.  I ponder days past, when they were in the sweeter stage.  Everything was magical, and celebrating Christmas came with a deep sense of special days.  Life had meaning beyond work and paying the rent.

I also pause and reflect on this past year.  I am amazed at how God has moved behind the scenes, showcasing His faithfulness.  So, what does God desire from us this Christmas?  What could we possibly give to the Giver of life?  How may we honour God for all the blessings He has graciously given us?  Christmas means God came specifically to live anew within us.

Scripture offers insight into God’s character and heart.  We can learn what gifts we can bring to our Heavenly Father, and even receive a precious gift from Him in return.

What if God had a Christmas 'wish list' that reflects His desires for us?  Since He is the God of love, it would be fitting to seek genuine love as His greatest gift this season.

Mark 12:30 You should love the Eternal, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.

John 15:12-13 12  ...love others as I have loved you.  There is no greater way to love than to give your life for your friends.

Love:   Love is the best gift.  But not just any kind of love; instead, the kind that is unconditional and involves selfless sacrifice.  The love that flows from a heart that loves Jesus, longs to love others through His shining example.  Aspects of the love gift involve the following:

Loving God with Your Heart:  As we apply this to our lives, we can love the Lord with our hearts by connecting to Him daily through earnest and relentless prayer. Christmas can bring forth a sweet opportunity to communicate with our Heavenly Father intimately.  We could thank God for His abundant love and grace, then see where the conversation leads as we pour out our inner heart.  Spend the time.  An example is found in Psalm 138, where David connects with the Lord in private prayer.

Love God with Your Mind:  We can love the Lord with our minds by seeking truth and digging into His Word.  Countless verses reference the birth of our Saviour, and can truly make us ponder the wonders and depths of God's love with the birth of Jesus. Read Isaiah 7:17 and 9:6, Micah 5:2, Titus 3:4-6, and 2 Corinthians 9:15.  The gospels of Luke and Matthew are also a good place to start.  As you read these verses, let them resonate as you come into God’s presence.  If there are mistakes you currently believe, or misunderstandings you bend toward, ask God to replace them with His truth to set your mind free.

Loving the Lord God with all our soul:  It involves giving Him our thanks and praise through worship and song.  Christmas is a perfect season to express this love with heartfelt worship.  Many beautiful Christmas songs can truly capture and declare the magnitude of this season.  O Come, O Come, Emmanuel is one of my favourites, and every time I hear it, the words penetrate my soul.  So, give God the gift of your emotional self this season and belt out those songs, letting Him know how much you love Him!

Love and Serve Others:  If the greatest commandment is to love God with our whole heart, mind, and soul, the second command is to love your neighbour as yourself (Matthew 22: 39).  Jesus didn't have to add this command when answering the cynical Pharisees.  Yet He did so purposefully, knowing it was valuable for them to hear.  These commandments may cause us to act unnaturally and to love selflessly; in other words, they can motivate us to love more like Jesus!

When we love our neighbour (or basically anyone that we come into contact with) as ourselves, we treat them the way we want to be treated.  Oh, the universally dubbed "Golden Rule".  However, if we go deeper with that thought, we find that if we love God first, He prompts us on how to love others well.  We can see how these desires and behaviours naturally go hand in hand.  Let’s put it into practice this Christmas season.

Spread Joy: Let's spread joy to others this season by letting God prompt us to share simple acts of kindness (1 John 3:18), to display an attitude of gratitude (1 Thessalonians 5:16-19), and to place another's needs above our own (Philippians 2:3).

Be a Peacemaker:   Matthew 5:9 calls for us to be peacemakers and, even more, that those who promote peace will be abundantly blessed.  The natural tendency may be to disturb, confront, and challenge.  However, God's kingdom is a sanctuary of peace.  We all long for peace and unity, especially around a season that practically welcomes it around the globe.  We can be peacemakers this year by being more patient with others, listening intentionally, acknowledging their views and feelings, and extending grace as needed.  Some might not hear what they need to hear until they know they have been heard first.

Deliver Hope:   Christmas has a special way of bringing renewed hope.  Regardless of how you have been hurt or betrayed by others, the healing medicine is forgiving and fully forgetting.  If we let go of the past, we see the light ahead.  There is nothing quite like the hope we can feel during Christmas.  Isaiah 40:31 tells us that as we renew our hope, we essentially awaken our faith and find new strength to persevere.  Yet for many, the holidays can become painful, and hope can become lost in the fog of private pain. This holiday, let’s be mindful of those who are hurting and reach out in love, delivering hope by bringing a meal, sending a heartfelt card, or stopping in with a warm cup of cocoa.

This Christmas, give God the gift of your love by connecting more deeply through prayer, deep Bible reading, and authentic worship, encouraging spiritual growth.

Freedom

To inform why Canada is in such a depressed economic and social situation, one has to reflect more deeply about the belief system at the core of the Liberal Party. Historically, they have been like a chameleon, frequently changing colour just enough to fit in and deceive supporters. Canadian finances are a mess. Moreover, once in a while, the darker side of Canadian Liberalism is exposed, which also helps explain Canada’s social malaise.

Prime Minister Carney (the Banker) has been revealed as a spendthrift of public money. The Budget tabled in the House of Commons on Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2025, confirmed the lack of financial responsibility. Every economic metric has steadily worsened since 2015, hurting average Canadians and revealing the Liberal moral failure. 

However, the Liberal social rot is much deeper. Their dark side is revealed in Bill C-9, introduced in 2025. On the surface, the Bill sounds reasonable. It claims to be: -An Act to amend the Criminal Code (hate propaganda, hate crime and access to religious or cultural places). Bill C-9 would amend the Criminal Code to propose new offences to better protect access to religious, cultural and other specified places, and to address hate-motivated crimes. The proposed amendments would create four new criminal offences: (1) an intimidation offence that prohibits conduct that is intended to provoke a state of fear in another person to impede them from accessing religious or cultural institutions and other specified places; (2) an offence that prohibits the intentional obstruction of a person's lawful access to such places; (3) a hate crime offence to more explicitly denounce hate-motivated crime; and (4) an offence that prohibits wilfully promoting hatred against any identifiable group by displaying, in any public place, particular hate or terrorist symbols.

The Liberals insist Bill C-9 is needed to protect religious Canadians from hate. Implementation would likely do the opposite, as it will expose people of faith to criminal prosecution for the simple act of quoting the Bible. We must not forget that every heinous government regime in history existed by controlling thoughts and beliefs not acceptable to the State. We must not forget Rome, the Nazis, the Marxism of the Soviet Union, and the custodial countries of today. They have unique ways of justifying coercive control over social discourse.

The Liberals and the Bloc Québécois made a backroom deal to eliminate the long-standing Criminal Code safeguards for freedom of expression and religious freedom in exchange for the Bloc's support for Bill C-9. Traditionally, Canada’s hate speech laws say people cannot be prosecuted for expressing, “in good faith,” an argument or opinion on a religious subject or “based on belief in a religious text.” The Supreme Court has recognized this defence as necessary to keep Canada's hate-speech laws constitutional, recognizing the crucial importance of freedom of expression and freedom of religion.

From C-9, people of faith could be imprisoned for up to two years for expressing sincerely held religious convictions that the government finds offensive. Knowing that people of faith could face imprisonment for expressing sincere religious beliefs, should inspire Canadians to feel protective and vigilant about safeguarding religious expression.

Religious communities, including Jews, Christians, Muslims, Sikhs, Hindus, and Buddhists, hold a vast range of beliefs. They often disagree on questions of morality, sexuality, politics, and culture. Some may find beliefs objectionable. But a free society based on sensible law does not criminalize the expression of sincerely held religious doctrine. We are to converse and debate people we disagree with. We do not coercively silence them, nor do we arrest and prosecute them. That is the behaviour of China, Russia, and North Korea.

The Liberals at the Justice Committee said there was “clear hatred” in some books of the Bible and Torah, singling out Leviticus, Deuteronomy, and Romans. Liberals said: "Clearly, there are situations in these texts where these statements are hateful.”   “They should not be used to invoke or be a defence.”  It was said that local prosecutors should be able to “press charges.” 

C-9 removes the existing safety value of a higher review, requiring the Provincial Attorney General to give specific and individual consent for any prosecution under these sections. The Liberals are now prepared to codify their dark agenda with the help of the Bloc Québécois by removing the traditional protection.

The Bloc has long pushed for the ability to prosecute people for religious expression. The Bloc often cites the case of Montreal Imam Adil Charkaoui, who, in 2023, used a prayer to call for the extermination of Jews. Prosecutors declined to charge him, and some suggested (incorrectly) that the religious text defence tied prosecutors’ hands. What Charkaoui said was illegal. The religious text defence only applies to wilful promotion of hatred and antisemitism under section 319(2) and 319(2.1) of the Criminal Code. There is no such defence for advocating genocide under section 318 or public incitement under section 319(1).

The refusal to charge Charkaoui was another example of authorities failing to enforce existing law when the Jewish community and others were targeted.

Concerning C-9, witnesses told the Justice Committee that the religious text defence is narrow and does not offer blanket immunity, as the Liberals falsely claim. The Liberals lie, as they have an agenda. The courts have been clear that violence and calls to violence are not protected as free expression. They certainly aren’t “in good faith,” as a proper defence would require.

Removing the religious freedom safeguard from the Criminal Code will not make Canadians safer. It will certainly not protect anyone, least among them, people of faith, from hate. Religious groups have spoken out about the change, saying it could chill the promotion and teaching of religious texts by the clergy.

The Conference is Bishops says: “This narrowly framed exemption has served for many years as an essential safeguard to ensure that Canadians are not criminally prosecuted for their sincere, truth-seeking expression of beliefs made without animus and grounded in long-standing religious traditions. Courts have made clear that only the most extreme forms of speech fall within the scope of hate-propaganda offences. However, the removal of this provision risks creating uncertainty for faith communities, clergy, educators, and others who may fear that the expression of traditional moral or doctrinal teachings could be misinterpreted as hate speech and subject the speaker to proceedings that could result in imprisonment of up to 2 years. As legal experts have noted, the public's understanding of hate speech and its legal implications is often far broader than what the Criminal Code actually captures. Eliminating a clear statutory safeguard will likely therefore have a chilling effect on religious expression.”

The House of Commons reconvenes on Monday January 26, 2026. If these amendments are adopted, Bill C-9 will chill political and religious discourse, inviting the State to police peoples most deeply held religious convictions. This assault on freedom of expression and religious freedom should not stand. The Liberal haughty aggressiveness for their measures in C-9, gives a glimpse into the dark side of the Liberal political psyche.

Canada Budget 2025

 

Canada Budget November 2025

Based on the rhetoric, the Carney government's first budget was a "transformative" new plan that would overcome the "generational" challenges facing Canada.  In reality, this budget is nothing new and represents the same Liberal economic ideology that has been tried and failed for the last decade.

The budget speech was delivered with verbose claims.  Experts are now analyzing to understand that the delivered sandwich was not a satisfying meal.  The "nothing burger," with lots of word salad and no meat, had some hot sauce pushing the credit card over the limit, but little to relieve the hungry millions lined up at food banks.

Sadly, every trip to the grocery store costs more, because of hidden taxes that remain in the budget.  The industrial carbon tax on farmers, truckers, and supply chains, makes food production and distribution more expensive.  The needless plastics ban increases packaging costs and generates more food waste.  The inflation tax from runaway deficits raises the cost of everything.  Canadians shouldn’t be forced to pick between eating or heating this winter.

Carney’s plan is similar to that of his failed predecessor.  The document titled “Canada Strong” plans to spend more, borrow more, and accumulate more debt than the Trudeau government envisioned.  However, we recall that the Trudeau government’s track record was one of reckless spending, harmful borrowing, and excessive debt accumulation.

This budget contains a deficit nearly twice the size forecast by the Liberals a year ago.  The budget projects a $ 78.3 billion total deficit — the amount of spending exceeding revenues.  The economic statement tabled last year had projected a hurtful deficit of $42.2 billion for this fiscal year, but the spendaholics outdid themselves.

The Liberals tried to use amplified rhetoric and a new accounting framework to obscure the bad numbers.  They falsely claim that Canada has the lowest net debt-to-GDP ratio among the G7 and that its strong fiscal position allows the government to run larger deficits.  Carney the banker has a serious spending problem, not a revenue problem.

There are two contrasting pathways to economic growth.  The first is to create the best possible economic environment for entrepreneurs, business owners, and investors by ensuring that the government only does what is necessary, maintains predictable and competitive taxes, and adheres to reasonable regulations.  It doesn’t try to pick winners and losers, but instead introduces policies to create a favourable climate for all businesses to succeed.  It gets out of the way wherever possible, and facilitates instead of operates.

The alternative is for the government to take an active controlling role in picking winners and losers through taxes, spending incentives, and regulations.  The idea is that a government can promote certain companies and industries as part of a comprehensive industrial policy, rather than allowing the market — comprising individual entrepreneurs, businesses, and investors — to make economic decisions.  The historical evidence is obvious.  Option one has always delivered the best results, and option two usually lags behind its potential, and sometimes brings utter misery.

Under Liberal ideology, every person has been given a pay cut or financial reduction, regardless of the source of income.  It is called “inflation” and is the dream killer of a nation.  Inflation always follows excessive repetitive government deficit spending.

Voters need to truly understand the dangerous magnitude of the cost of Canada’s indebtedness created by annual deficits.  Canadians must pay interest on federal debt.  The threat is that growing federal debt will reach an expected $2.9 trillion in 2029/30.  For perspective, federal debt stood at $1.0 trillion when the Trudeau Liberals took office in 2015.  Interest costs on that debt will rise from $53.4 billion last year to an expected $76.1 billion by 2029/30.  Interest payments are dead money that could have been spent on healthcare or public safety.

Over the last decade, Canada's total debt burden has grown faster than that of any other G7 country, increasing by 25 percentage points.  Next closest, France, grew by 17 percentage points.  A closer examination of Canada's total debt burden reveals a significantly weaker position than the government claims, and one that will deteriorate under the Carney ideology.  The government fiddles with the numbers by presenting "net debt" supported by non-liquid assets—a misleading presentation.  The cumulative evidence is that the Liberal Cabinet is not financially competent to govern.

To clarify, actual interest costs as a share of revenues must be counted - measure what comes in compared to what must be paid out.  When voters made their big mistake in the 2015 election, interest costs consumed 7.5 per cent of revenues.  This means taxpayers were losing 7.5 per cent of the resources they sent to Ottawa for spending on actual programs, because this money had to go to service the debt accumulated from previous overspending.

The horror is that under the new budget plan, the gap between what the government collects and what is spent will rise to 13.0 percent by 2029/30.  Slightly more than one in every eight dollars sent to Ottawa will be used to pay interest on debt for past spending.  This is how countries can get into serious financial trouble by continually losing revenues to interest payments, just to keep the doors open.  Interest payments build nothing and relieve nothing, especially when they are spent on operations instead of creating projects of lasting value that yield an enduring return, such as hydroelectric dams, pipelines, roads, bridges, waste treatment systems, and public transit.

Another instance of budget misrepresentation is the Build Canada Homes and Build Communities Strong Fund.  It claims to increase the number of new homes built annually and provide funding to provincial governments and municipalities for infrastructure spending.  However, it is highly questionable whether these programs will actually result in the construction of new homes.  As in the past, federal incentives will replace or crowd out existing private sector spending.  The homebuilding push by Ottawa will likely result in fewer homes being built than if the government just stayed out of the way of entrepreneurs and ended the economic and bureaucratic barriers for builders.

The measures raise serious concerns about the government's transparency and the actual impact of its budget.  After a decade of Liberal mismanagement, the government's Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation forecasts a decrease in the overall number of housing starts every year for the next three years.  The more Liberals entangle themselves in housing, the housing start numbers actually decrease.  The plan is a clear indication of the government's failure to regulate effectively, opting for the unsuccessful 'option two' where they wrongly try to operate instead of beneficially regulate.

The CMHC predicts that housing starts will decline, with 40,000 fewer units started in 2025 compared to 2024.  It’s unclear whether infrastructure spending — providing funds to provinces and municipalities — results in an actual increase in total infrastructure projects.  There are historical examples, including reports by the auditor general, that describe how infrastructure initiatives are often plagued by mismanagement.  Often, the Provinces reduce their own infrastructure spending to save money, so the actual incremental increase in overall infrastructure is negligible, and not much new is built.

In reality, the budget deepens the deterioration of finances.  The plan will not deliver anything close to what the government boasts.  It is merely "sound and fury” to cover what Canadians should understand about the risks and challenges of these initiatives.  Along with the accumulated debt, minimal real-world benefits will follow.

The numbers themselves have no politics or favourites.  The bottom line of red ink is the predictable consequence of wrong beliefs and false claims.  There is a remedy available, but the headstrong and the prejudiced will have to change their ways at the ballot box.  

On Nov. 17th, 2025 Members of Parliament ended weeks of drama as the Carney government barely survived by a 170 to 168 vote approving the federal budget. 

Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5

There would have been a time for such a word.

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,

Creeps in this petty pace from day to day

To the last syllable of recorded time,

And all our yesterdays have lighted fools

The way to dusty death.  Out, out, brief candle!

Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player

That struts and frets his hour upon the stage

And then is heard no more: it is a tale

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,

Signifying nothing.

No one is above the criminal law.

 

Any reasonable person looking at the news could conclude that Justin Trudeau broke the law regarding the unethical, expensive gift from the Aga Khan, and he also broke the law and all ethics in the SNC-Lavalin scandal.

Recall that Minister of Justice Jody Wilson-Raybould refused, on legal and ethical grounds, to go along with Trudeau’s scam.  She refused to offer a ‘deferred prosecution agreement’ to SNC-Lavalin after being wrongly pressured to do so by Trudeau.  She was then demoted to Minister of Veterans Affairs in 2019, before resigning from Cabinet and being removed from the Liberal caucus amid the ongoing SNC-Lavalin scandal.

Since no one is above the criminal law, it has been an open question bubbling in public discussion for a long time.  Why was Trudeau not charged, and have the Courts test the allegations?  The Liberal establishment thought they had buried these transgressions with the passage of time and the election of a new government.  However, there is no statute of limitations on these kinds of serious offences. 

Consequently, in view of the lengthy and tireless efforts of the organization ‘Democracy Watch' to pursue a private prosecution, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said the RCMP apparently covered up scandals involving Justin Trudeau, which would typically lead to criminal charges.  Now the 'Liberal mafia' is after Poilievre with every smear conceivable.  How dare he bring up matters which they had hoped the public had forgotten and no longer cared about?

In a recent interview with the YouTube channel ‘Northern Perspective’, Poilievre said the RCMP's leadership appeared despicable and added that many of the scandals of the Trudeau era should have resulted in jail time.  Poilievre said the former prime minister likely violated the Criminal Code during the SNC-Lavalin affair.  “These would normally have led to criminal charges, but of course the RCMP covered it all up,” he said.

Democracy Watch said, “Crown prosecutors stopping this prosecution for a legally incorrect reason, just like the RCMP did in addition to suppressing key evidence, amount to a smelly cover-up that shows clearly that Canada does not have independent, effective anti-corruption law enforcement and, as a result, corruption in the highest public offices across the country is effectively legal,” said Duff Conacher, PhD (Law) and Co-founder of Democracy Watch.  “This means Canada does not have a rule of law, a rule that violations of the law will be prosecuted no matter who the violator is, which is considered worldwide to be a fundamental requirement for a country to actually be a democracy.”

They went further to say,  “The RCMP lacks independence from the Prime Minister and Cabinet ministers who handpick the RCMP Commissioner and deputy commissioners and division heads through a secretive process, and they all serve at the ‘pleasure of the Cabinet’, so they are vulnerable to political interference, which is likely part of the reason the RCMP rolled over and let Trudeau off, and the pressuring of the former Attorney General to stop a prosecution shows that prosecutors are also vulnerable to political interference,” said Conacher. 

"To ensure integrity and impartiality in anti-corruption and foreign interference cases, key changes that many experts have called for are needed to make the RCMP more independent, effective, and publicly accountable, or even better, Parliament should establish a new fully independent anti-corruption police force, including fully independent prosecutors like Quebec has had since 2011."

So, we observe the talking heads and the legacy media going berserk, not against the Liberals, but against Poilievre for speaking up.  Instead of demanding accountability, transparency, and the rule of law, they have started an anti-Poilievre campaign.  This defensive condescending reaction from the elites, makes the point again about how badly Canada is in desperate need of an election as soon as possible, to hopefully send these Liberal miscreants packing.

Help Us ! Deliver us from carnage Carney

 

Help Us !  Deliver us from carnage Carney

When the Government of Canada finally delivers a financial statement (Budget) on Nov. 4, Prime Minister Mark Carney will reveal his priorities and decide his destiny.  The Interim Parliamentary Budget Officer, Jason Jacques, has announced an expected $68 billion deficit for fiscal year 2025, up from $51 billion in 2024.  The Liberals would like to blame U.S. President Donald Trump for these horrific numbers, but the previous government racked up these deficits before Trump regained the presidency.

Tariffs, shifting trade rules, and economic uncertainty don’t help, but as Ted Morton pointed out in the National Post (September 25, 2025 – First Six Months of Disappointment), “Let’s start with the big numbers. Unemployment sits at 7.1 percent, with 66,000 jobs lost in August and 41,000 jobs lost in July.  Grimmer still, youth unemployment is off the charts, hovering around 14 per cent.  After a decade with almost no economic growth, 2025 has seen the economy actually start to shrink.” These numbers demand bold steps and immediate action.  Instead, Carney is approaching the problems facing Canada’s economy with timidity.

Carney finds the Trudeau numbers revolting, but he can change them.  He does not have to add to the mess.  At one point, Carney stated that immigration had occurred too quickly, resulting in spending that increased at a nine per cent annual rate.  As he has transitioned from banker to politician, he sounds vague, less determined, and uncertain about what to do.  Liberals brought Canada the worst economic growth since the Great Depression, and Carney should know that growing deficits and a contracting economy are bad news for individual investors, workers, and the country at large.  Still, it’s rare to find a cabinet minister who admits their ministry needs to rein in spending.

Debt servicing costs are now $53 billion, and the growing deficit will add to it.  Fiscal anchors appear to have vanished.  Carney’s transition to a politician has blinded him to fiscal realities.  His party, after a fourth straight election victory, continues to grow fatter and more complacent.  

A nation cannot welcome immigrants at a pace faster than the economy can grow. Overall budget numbers tell the same story.  Under Trudeau, costs rose at nine per cent per year, and Carney has done nothing to address the problem.  Carney lacks the stomach for a bloody budget battle with his caucus or the party insiders.  He would rather try to use smoke and mirrors, hiding expenses, playing shell games with the numbers, and prescribing short-term solutions that avoid tough choices. 

Will the media make the Conservatives’ reality checks enduring? If Carney gets a pass from the House, once Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has taken them to task, and the media continue to cheerlead because Carney stands against Trump, where will that leave Canada fiscally?  

The country still needs to beef up its defence spending after making pledges earlier this year. That will not happen if the public service cuts wait on attrition.  Nor will a gun buy-back program work.  It will be costly and unhelpful, another dizzy progressive scheme to feel good while accomplishing nothing.  

Definitive and extraordinary steps need to be taken to get Canada’s financial house in order.  If Carney continues to vacillate about developing the resource economy in Canada, he will jeopardize Canada’s future.  He will abandon Canadians’ need for strong leadership and betray his promise to renew our national vision.

The natural resources sector faces declining growth.  In the second quarter of 2025, forestry dipped by almost five percent and energy by over two.  These are not good numbers.  Job creation faces challenges, and the prime minister’s actions have not matched his words.

Carney has promised coherence and clarity in the economy.  So far, he sounds muddled and acts tentatively.  Canadians expected more when they gambled on the Liberals and their new leader in the spring.  Carney has a lot riding on the budget he presents in the House next month.

Charles James Kirk Memorial

The memorial service for Charles James Kirk (October 14, 1993 – September 10, 2025) was a powerful testament to the unity and strength of the conservative community. Held on Sunday, September 21, in Glendale, Arizona, at the State Farm Stadium and overflow arena outside Phoenix, the event drew an overflow crowd of 100,000, with millions more tuning in from around the world. Charlie Kirk's memorial was a unique blend of religious gathering and political rally; a reflection of the massive influence he had on conservative America and his ability to mobilize young people.

Charlie was an American conservative political influencer and media personality. He sought to challenge the secular culture, and became noted for his Christian testimony as he went centre stage on many university campuses with his dialogue of ‘question and answer’ sessions under the banner 'Prove Me Wrong', where he invited students to challenge his conservative views.

In addition to espousing typical conservative political views, Charlie said he wanted to reach the lost boys of the west -the young men who felt they had no direction, purpose, without faith, were wasting their lives on distractions, living with resentment, anger, and hate. Charlie wanted to uplift them, and he offered a social home with his organization 'Turning Point USA', a platform that provided mentorship, resources, and a sense of community to these young men.  

Widow Erika Lane Kirk (36 yrs) said:  “My husband Charlie wanted to save young men, just like the one who took his life. That young man. That young man on the cross.  Our Savior said, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do."  That man; that young man. I forgive him. I forgive him because it was what Christ did in his. What Charlie would do. The answer to hate is not hate. The answer we know from the gospel is love and always love -love for our enemies and love for those who persecute us. The world needs ‘Turning Point USA’. It needs a group that will point young people away from the path of misery and sin. It needs something that will lead people away from hell in this world and in the next. It needs young people pointed in the direction of truth and beauty. And so, I promise you today, every part of our work will become greater.” 

The five-hour program included Christian music from Lee Greenwood, Steve Amerson, Chris Tomlin, Brandon Lake, Phil Wickham, Kari Jobe Carnes, and Cody Carnes.

Some of the speakers were Rev. Rob McCoy, Sergio Gor, Stephen Miller, Tucker Carlson, Dr. Ben Carson, Jack Posobiec, Donald Trump Jr., Dir. Tulsi Gabbard, Sec. Pete Hegseth, Sec. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Sec. Marco Rubio, White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, Vice President JD Vance, President Donald Trump, Erika Kirk (widow)

The memorial was a historical Christian spectacle that will be remembered and analyzed for years to come.  Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State, paid tribute by citing the gospel message of the resurrection of Jesus.  Stephen Miller, a deputy White House chief of staff, envisioned a spiritual uprising in Mr. Kirk's wake. This movement would continue to inspire and mobilize young people towards conservative values. Vice President JD Vance said Mr. Kirk’s influence had reshaped the balance of political talk, alluding to Charlie’s faith. Because of it, he said that he had talked more about Jesus Christ in the past two weeks in the public forum than in his time in public office.

In the packed football stadium, the highest levels of U.S. government and evangelical Christian expression came together for a few hours. The commemorative event reflected the degree to which conservative Christianity has melded with Republican politics in the Trump era.

The theme that Mr. Kirk is a modern-day Christian martyr was noted throughout the service. Vice President Vance said, “We must remember that he is a hero to the United States of America. And he is a martyr for the Christian faith.” Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of Defense, shared the Christian message of washing away sins. “We always did need less government. But what Charlie infused into his movement is that we also needed a lot more God.”

Near the close of the event, President Trump called Mr. Kirk a martyr, but described him not as a Christian martyr but an American one. “Our greatest evangelist for American liberty became immortal. He’s a martyr now for American freedom.”

Charlie Kirk's ambition extended beyond seeking a position within the Trump administration. In the last year, it became clear that he aimed for something larger: reshaping the Republican Party, American politics, and society itself. He envisioned transforming the culture through his organization, a testament to his vision and commitment.

Mr. Kirk was only 18 when he founded Turning Point USA in 2012, as a conservative response to liberal organizing platforms and groups. By the start of the first Trump administration in 2017, Mr. Kirk was already in regular rotation on the conservative TV pundit circuit and an in-demand speaker among conservative organizations. He proved to be a captivating speaker and a skillful debater, with a gift for bringing clarity to President Trump’s sometimes elliptical statements.

He became somewhat influential within the administration and was said to have visited the White House many times during Trump’s first term. He focused his activism on what he characterized as rampant Marxism and gender ideology on college campuses. He encouraged students to call out professors who embraced such ideas, and he did the same in appealing to parents and grade school students.

Under Charlie Kirk's leadership, ‘Turning Point USA’ experienced significant growth. The organization added dozens of campus chapters each year, effectively displacing older conservative youth organizations. Kirk's commitment to bringing high-profile conservative speakers to colleges, providing training, networking, and organizing, created a united group of engaged young people and future politicos, a testament to his enduring influence.

Undaunted, Mr. Kirk was among the first to rally around Mr. Trump once he left office, traveling to the Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida to strategize a comeback. Mr. Kirk sensed that the country was not done with Trump, and that the new Biden administration was seriously flawed.

Mr. Kirk also created a separate group, ‘Turning Point Faith’, to amplify the role of Christian testimony in the public square coming from the church community. He doubled down on his social critiques of the left, which he said had taken over campuses, corporate America, and government.

Charlie Kirk was not initially a Trump supporter. During the 2016 Republican primaries, he first supported Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin and then Senator Ted Cruz of Texas. But he was won over to the Trump campaign after a meeting with Donald Jr., who hired him as a social media coordinator.

Although he rarely touched on religion during his early years, Mr. Kirk increasingly embraced evangelical Christianity following the COVID pandemic. He grew more critical of gay rights radicalism and the notion of separation of church and state, and began to cite the Bible for support for his critiques. He spoke frequently of an American Renaissance.

Kirk continued to build support among young voters with his ‘American Comeback’ tour, which brought him to Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025. About 3,000 onlookers cheered as he took the stage in the university courtyard. He spoke briefly, then came the sound of a gunshot, and American social culture changed.

The passage of time gives perspective. For example, the international shock and grief at the passing of Princess Diana on August 31, 1997, faded into our culture. The horror of airplanes flying into buildings on September 11, 2001, is remembered respectfully. The 1968 assassination of Martin Luther King is commemorated in the USA on the third Monday of January each year, and was first observed in 1986.  The full impact of Charlie Kirk’s example will surely unfold. 

President Trump said he will award Charlie Kirk a posthumous Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor in the United States, at a ceremony in the days ahead. We in Canada can only hope that powerful and credible conservative voices emerge to push back against the hurt in Canadian culture.  

In the study “The Politics of the Culture Wars in Contemporary Canada," the McDonald-Laurer Institute report says there is an untapped market for strongly vocalized traditional conservative values. It shows that Canadian attitudes lean about 2 to 1 against the cultural socialist position of the left-wing voices, and that Canadian opinion data is somewhat similar to that in the United States and Britain. For example,

• Respondents oppose teaching children that “There is no such thing as biological sex, only gender preference” by 85 to 15;

• Canadians oppose gender reassignment surgery for under-16s by 4 to 1;

• By a 78 to 22 margin, Canadians agree that “political correctness has gone too far”;

• By a 70 to 30 margin, Canadians oppose the idea that Canada is a racist country, and a similar share do not want this taught at school;

• By 70 to 30, people prefer a colour blind rather than colour-conscious approach to issues in society;

• Canadians oppose removing statues of Prime Minister John A. Macdonald by a 2 to 1 ratio;

• By a 2 to 1 margin, people said we talk too much about race in Canada;

• Respondents, by a 2 to 1 ratio, want parents informed when children under age 16 change pronouns at school;

• Respondents, by a 2 to 1 ratio, do not want transgender individuals to enter women’s sports competitions;

• More Canadians disapprove than approve of people displaying their preferred pronouns;

• Younger Canadians are substantially less likely than younger Britons or Americans to describe their country as racist;

• Those who have taken diversity training (indoctrination) are significantly more fearful of losing their job or reputation for what they say than those who have not;

• Those who have taken diversity training are significantly more ‘woke’ than those who have not;

• Francophone attitudes are generally very similar to Anglophone attitudes on culture war questions;

• Survey results suggest that conservative parties can gain electoral support by defending historical figures and symbols and resisting trans-activist policies.  Parties on the left are advised to deflect or avoid such issues as they are electorally costly.

• Results indicate that diversity training (DEI) needs to be reformed or abolished in organizations as it heightens employee anxiety, advances contentious beliefs, and produces social division.

The task of Canadian conservative political and cultural leadership is to use facts and evidence to deconstruct the myths encoded in the progressive narrative, which underpins the ‘woke’ cultural movement that has recently dominated the official elite institutional agenda.

Canadians recoil when they learn that the cultural Marxism of ‘Diversity-Equity-Inclusion’ programs have been extensively used since 2016 in corporate employee training, union education programs, public sector employee indoctrination, and at the federal level, over one billion has been spent by the government in 29 departments for this ideology, instead of transferring these tax dollars to Provinces for Healthcare.

Canada needs a cultural renewal. We hope that the grassroots movement represented by Charlie Kirk and many others in America will find fertile ground in Canada to lift us out of our dark malaise. We must discover the Canadian way into a truth-based society of personal responsibility, rule of law, science, and responsible journalism, allowing for maximum human flourishing and peace.

Charles James Kirk (Oct. 14, 1993 – Sept. 10, 2025)

As a Conservative, I cannot let pass without comment, the death of Charlie Kirk. It was a most tragic and horrendous murder, seen before a crowd of three thousand and recorded on video. My shock and dismay were similar to when we heard that Princess Diana died in a car accident, or the horror of watching the Islamist airplane attack in New York.

Charles James Kirk (Oct 14, 1993 – Sept 10, 2025 – 31yrs) was an American conservative political influencer, author, and media personality. On Wednesday, Charlie was assassinated during his speaking event at Utah Valley University. He was speaking outdoors for his American Comeback Tour, when he was shot in the neck by the assailant from the roof of a building about 200 yards away. Kirk is survived by his wife and two children, who are both under the age of 3.

Kirk co-founded the student organization ‘Turning Point USA’ in 2012 and was its executive director. He was the chief executive officer of ‘Turning Point Action’ and a member of the Council for National Policy. In recent years, he was a prominent voice on university campuses for the political MAGA movement of the Republican Party. He was a critic of legacy mainstream media and participated in the USA culture battles over race, gender, immigration, and social values. 

Those are the traditional credentials ascribed by the media, but increasingly he developed into a Christian apologist and persuader in his public appearances. He was a bold and deliberately provocative populist social commentator. He made declarations, that when reported out of context, enraged the political left. He once said he wanted to transform the culture.

Although he did not claim academic credentials, in debate, he often embarrassed those who presented themselves as such when verbally challenging him. He would respond with real data, which discredited his challengers, while he posed irreconcilable questions to his verbal opponents. 

Charlie has been called derogatory names by left-wing community leaders. The vilification of Charlie and his national youth movement has become the norm in so-called progressive social circles. These voices of evil have no bounds. They couldn't abide his boldness in asserting the value of traditional Biblical social standards. The alternative media have also been documenting the evidence of prominent people who have stated that Charlie Kirk got what he deserved and was the author of his own demise.

In contrast, the 2,460 seats in the Kennedy Center were full to honour Charlie Kirk on Sunday evening, Sept 14. Attendees packed the Concert Hall of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC, to pay tribute. Remarks from several speakers, including HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, drew a warm response from the audience.

Hundreds of people outside of Sunday's event streamed the prayer vigil on their phones, as they were unable to get into the venue, which was packed to capacity. The event both started and concluded with a worship service, a testament to Kirk's Christian faith.

US House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson was the first speaker. Johnson said that Kirk loved a vigorous debate, but he loved people more. Charlie was never motivated by hate, Johnson noted.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, following Johnson, recounted her time as a congressional candidate in New Hampshire in 2022. At the age of 25, she recalled the help Kirk offered her as a young female candidate. She said that when Washington Super PACs poured money into the opponent's campaign, Charlie and his team encouraged me to finish the campaign.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, speaking after Leavitt, said that Charlie lived by the principle that no matter how horrible a person's speech may be, their ideas must be defeated only by better ideas.

One of the most vocal responses from the crowd came as Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr. talked about Kirk's impact on a member of his family, his niece, who packed a bible in her suitcase while heading off to college in Europe so that she could 'live like Charlie Kirk.' Over 85 members of Congress were in attendance at the vigil.

One of the young attendees, James, 22 of Great Falls, Virginia, told the Daily Mail at the Kennedy Center that one thing he learned from Charlie Kirk was that 'he wanted a very civil country where we could all voice our opinions, regardless of what side we are on.'  Another Virginian, Andrew, 24, shared a similar sentiment with the Daily Mail, adding that a lasting element of Kirk’s legacy is that he was willing to talk to anyone, regardless of party or ideology.

There will be a large memorial gathering on Sunday, Sept 21, at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, attended by the President and national leaders.

Charlie Kirk’s Christian theology was traditional American evangelical. Kirk’s pastor, Rob McCoy of Godspeak Calvary Chapel in Newbury Park California said, “My friend Charlie Kirk was murdered today by a coward.”  “Charlie’s life will be remembered for many wonderful things.”  "This truth allowed Charlie to face every threat with courage because he didn't fear death," McCoy added. "All evil knows is death, and they derive power from death. “Charlie lived for life and will be remembered for this.” “My heart is broken for his family; his wife Erika and his two precious children.” "Evil has not prevailed, and it will not win," concluded McCoy.

Charles Kirk built an organization and movement, all with the power of the spoken word. He never alluded to violence against his harsh critics, even though he was threatened every day with violence by those who couldn’t contend with logic and truth. His enemies have done what evil always does; it takes away life.

Despite his evangelical Christian leanings, Charlie Kirk retained a sympathy with Catholicism. He participated in discussions about Catholic theology, though he expressed reservations about some Church doctrines. He was generally uncomfortable with denominational distinctives. He reflected a common evangelical perspective that prioritizes individual spiritual relationship with Jesus, over institutional and denominational authority.

Kirk’s work through ‘Turning Point Faith’ brought him into contact with varied religious communities. That organization collaborated with more than 3,700 congregations to encourage what it termed “biblical citizenship.” He had a rather ecumenical and non-denominational approach to conservative politics.

Charlie Kirk’s religious views evolved over time. In his earlier years, he advocated for the separation of church and state, but his rhetoric increasingly embraced religious themes as his career progressed. He came to describe political contests as "spiritual battles" and elections as "civilization-defining" events. This framing reflected his growing conviction that cultural and political transformation required a spiritual foundation. He understood that it takes more than politics to build a great society.

‘Turning Point Faith’, which he founded in 2021, was dedicated to recruiting pastors and church leaders to be active in local and national political issues. Kirk’s religious perspective ultimately prioritized cultural influence over theological precision. His approach could be described as 'theistic nationalism'—a belief that America's identity is inherently tied to Judeo-Christian values that need protection from secular forces. He viewed different Christian traditions primarily through their utility in advancing conservative political goals rather than their theological distinctions. This pragmatic approach allowed him to work across denominational lines while maintaining his own private theological identity. Through ‘Turning Point Faith’, Kirk aimed to mobilize the religious community to engage in political issues, promoting what he termed 'biblical citizenship'.

In May 2021, Kirk married Erika Kirk (née Frantzve), a businesswoman and podcaster who won the Miss Arizona USA pageant competition in 2012. The couple's first child, a daughter, was born in 2022. Their second child, a son, was born in May 2024. We grieve for the family, as he was a son, a husband, a father, and a defender of the traditional family and its values.

Erika comforted her husband's thousands of followers with a courageous talk on national television. She pledged that Charlie’s work would carry on, perhaps even in greater form.

Meanwhile, authorities are piecing together the culture affiliated with the shooter, as he did not act in isolation. The climate of conspiracy and the broader circles of condonation are being revealed.

The media and cultural world have said Charlie Kirk was a political assassination victim. My perspective is that, in view of his work in the last year, he was a religious martyr in the sense that he was killed not for who he was, but for what he proclaimed. It is similar to the historical concept of religious martyrdom, where individuals are persecuted and killed for their religious beliefs.

The early persecution of Christians in the Roman Empire left a lasting impact. It fostered a culture of martyrdom, with many Christians choosing to die for their faith rather than renounce it. It also helped establish Christianity as a counter-cultural movement that challenged the established order, and that legacy continues.

The public horror for Charlie reminds us of the sacrifice and courage of those who went before us, and inspires us to uphold the values of truth, righteousness, and religious freedom today. It is our responsibility to carry on his legacy and ensure that his values continue to guide our actions.

Proverbs 14:34  KJV  Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.

God-devotion makes a country strong; God-avoidance leaves people weak.

Living according to God’s instructions makes a nation great, but sin colours those who commit it with disgrace.

Tariffs with no plan

August 3^rd, 2025

It is Sunday, and Canada now has debilitating tariffs with no escape plan.  It was the worst week for Canada since the October 19, 2015 election.  The Canadian negotiating team has retuned home from Washington DC empty handed.  The evidence is stark.  Carney and company were the wrong political choice to advance Canada’s general prosperity, public safety, and social cohesion. 

Mark Carney and company have failed in the Canada-US trade negotiations, resulting in steep tariffs, internal economic damage, and completely stalled talks with the USA. Liberal philosophy and trade policies, including the ‘elbows-up’ retaliation, made Canada’s plight worse.  Trade talks with Donald Trump have collapsed, and the Liberals have no answer for the tariffs, or the domestic situation.  Canada’s negotiators blew the trade deal, and Mark Carney's leadership is making it worse.

Trump refused to take Carney’s calls, in view of the 35% tariffs on non-USMCA goods.  The last pipeline company is moving to the U.S.  Canada has dug itself deep into the economic hole.  Liberal policies of the retaliatory tariffs, the digital services tax, and the ‘Palestinian debacle’ made the situation worse.

Trade negotiations have completely stalled and Canadian industry leaders are perplexed.  Premier Doug Ford wants to further retaliate, while Premier Scott Moe is calling for cooperative maneuvering.  However, Carney seems immobilized as the Liberals have nothing to offer.

Canada now has a 35% tariff on electric vehicles and other goods, hurting our economy.  That is the whole point of tariffs −economic advantage.  The Carney team had a chance to renegotiate, but instead they doubled down on ‘elbows up’ and ‘Palestine’.

The cancelling of the digital services tax gained nothing in return.  The US call, is to drop the $30 billion in counter-tariffs.  Canada’s bargaining leverage has evaporated and there is no alternative planned.

The pipeline industry is leaving as the ‘all talk no action’ on pipelines caused Enbridge to move south.  While Trudeau and Carney have scolded about climate goals and ‘green technology’, Canada hemorrhages economic activity and international credibility.  The Liberals talk about progress, but instead the evidence is steep decline.

The situation is more than trade policy; it’s about whether Canada is taken seriously in the global market.  The US made the hurdles clear −retaliate against the US and Canada pays.

Mark Carney has been shut out diplomatically.  Additionally, we have internal issues of housing, inflation, and the collapse of confidence in our Justice System.  The Liberal ideology has failed at home and abroad.

There’s still time to change course.  But it won’t happen unless Canadians speak up and demand that Opposition Parties band together just one time for a single accountability vote to pull Canada back from the brink.  That is, to vote ‘non-confidence’ at the first opportunity to trigger an election.

Carney has played into Trump’s passive aggressive recalcitrance, instead of moving forward with collaborative objective building.  Carney and his cohorts have an ethereal leftie ideology that is useless to respond to the ‘no-holds-barred’ aggressive Trumpism.  Average Canadians are now paying the penalty from their wrong choice of the last election.

Charter Right Violated

Whereas Canada is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God and the rule of law: Fundamental freedoms

2 Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms: (a) freedom of conscience and religion; (b) freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication; (c) freedom of peaceful assembly; and (d) freedom of association.

The war on Christian worship is being led by Canada's Liberal elites

This week, we got a crystal-clear look at who’s really driving the assault on public worship in this country—and surprise, surprise: it’s not fringe activists. It’s Trudeau-appointed senators and elected Liberal MPs.

The war on Christian worship is being led by Canada's Liberal elites

This week, we got a crystal-clear look at who’s really driving the assault on public worship in this country—and surprise, surprise: it’s not fringe activists. It’s Trudeau-appointed senators and elected Liberal MPs.

It’s official. In Canada, drag shows for kids are “inclusivity,” pornographic material in schools is “education,” and overt anti-Christian bigotry? Well, that earns you a Senate appointment.

This week, we got a crystal-clear look at who’s really driving the assault on freedom of religion, freedom of expression, and public worship in this country — and surprise, surprise: it’s not fringe activists. It’s Trudeau-appointed senators and elected Liberal MPs.

Let me introduce you to Dr. Kristopher Wells, Justin Trudeau’s newest pick to represent Alberta in the Senate. A so-called diversity and inclusion expert who’s made a career out of smearing Christians as dangerous bigots.

This is the same man who posted a cartoon comparing Christians to Nazis — literally showing religious figures forcing a rainbow-clad individual to his knees at gunpoint, with the Christian cross taking the place of a swastika.

An act that would get you disqualified from any sane political party gets you rewarded with a lifetime seat in Trudeau’s Liberal Circus of the Absurd.

But it gets worse.

Last week, Dr. Wells tweeted this:

This ‘concert’ should not be allowed to be held at any publicly owned facility, let alone the Alberta Legislature. Pull the permit like other cities have done. There should be no space for hate on any public property.

Who was he talking about? Sean Feucht. An American Christian worship leader on tour in Canada.

Not a political operative, not a hate preacher. A man whose crime is singing worship music in public — like he’s done peacefully in cities across North America, including in Canada in past years without incident. He's had 6 venues cancel on him, and Antifa mobs throw smoke bombs into worship services.

Now, with Mark Carney warming the prime minister’s chair, worship music is “hate.” Got that?

Let’s contrast this with what Dr. Wells does promote:

Drag shows like The Pansy Cabaret, where adult men in sequins and women’s underwear perform in public venues.

LGBTQ+ erotica in schools and libraries, including material that parents across the country have flagged as sexually explicit.

He tweeted: “Learning about 2SLGBTQ+ issues in libraries or classrooms is not pornographic. That’s an old homophobic trope... These are Canadian values.”

So let’s sum that up:

✅ Drag queens in schools = Canadian values.

✅ Graphic sexual content for kids = Canadian values.

🛑 Christian worship in a public park = “Hate” that must be banned.

This isn’t about tolerance. It’s about state-sanctioned discrimination against Christians — and it’s not just coming from Trudeau’s unelected Senate picks.

Here’s what Carney's elected Liberal MPs are saying:

Liberal MP Shannon Miedema:

I have the utmost respect for the value of free speech; but I do not believe this event aligns with Parks Canada’s core values of respect for people, equity, diversity and inclusion, or integrity.

MP Sean Casey from PEI chimed in with this Orwellian gem:

While I fully respect the right to freedom of expression, I do not believe this event reflects the values of inclusivity and respect that define the City of Charlottetown or the Government of Canada.

Let me translate that for you: “We totally respect free speech — as long as you say what we like.” That’s not liberal democracy. That’s soft totalitarianism.

These same MPs had no issue with venues for pro-Hamas Irish rappers, Kneecap, or sexually explicit drag shows, or public nudity at Pride parades. But Sean Feucht singing “Amazing Grace” with a guitar? That’s suddenly too radical for taxpayer-owned land.

We are living in a Canada where the government doesn’t just tolerate anti-Christian bias — it promotes it, funds it, and now, soft legislates it.

If you care about freedom of religion, if you care about your Charter rights, and if you think public parks should remain public spaces for everyone, it’s time to stand up.

The government doesn't get to decide who gets to worship in public. Not in a free country. Not in Canada.

Christian worship leader Sean Feucht is being shut down in Canada — six peaceful worship events cancelled simply for praising God in public. While pro-Hamas mobs are welcomed, public Christian faith is under attack. Stand with Sean to defend freedom of worship, expression, and assembly for all Canadians.

    *       *       *    

In our democratic country, we address differences in life outlook through discourse, argument, avoidance, ignoring, protest, and education.  We don't deal with it through silencing people, censoring them through obstruction, threats, and intimidation.

Because of radical activism masquerading as journalism, bureaucrats used their powers to revoke outdoor concert permits.  Feucht’s cross-country tour has been met with manufactured resistance, including cancelled outdoor events in Halifax, Charlottetown, Moncton, Gatineau, Quebec City, and Vaughan.

However in Montreal, Canada’s discriminatory attitudes were fully revealed.  The local police warned of the city’s “anti-Christian bigotry.”  Right on cue, a CBC reporter – parroting government talking points – tells Feucht that he’s being shut down because “he doesn’t have a permit.”  In response, Feucht said, “I don’t think you need a permit to worship in a church.”

While biased local officials tried to shut down the service over a “lack of a permit”, radical Antifa activists became threatening.  In the middle of the church service, an agitator threw two smoke-bombs into the church.  This is a clear violation of the Criminal Code and of Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms.  And what has become too common in Canada, the police stood down and there were no arrests and no charges laid.  Society will get more of what we tolerate in criminal activity.

If this was happening to any other faith group in Canada, this would be a most important story.  However, woke politicians continue to fear-monger and tell Canadians that Christians are dangerous and their views are not welcome in Canada.  Alberta NDP politicians are now urging the United Conservative (UCP) Government to shut down the upcoming concert in Edmonton.

Those who are against religious freedom for Christians reveal their evil heart.
