"Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things." Romans 1:21-23KJV "Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous." Psalm 31:18 KJV "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,read more. Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away." 2 Timothy 3:1-5 KJV

This is the Trudeau Crown which is replacing the actual Royal Crown. This is not a joke. This is for real. This is trading crosses and fleur-de-lis for maple leaves and a snowflake.

Canada unveils new crown with snowflake and maple leaves instead of religious symbols The federal government has revealed its new design for the Canadian Royal Crown that sits atop the Canada Coat of Arms. The new crown, which is a heraldic emblem and not a material object, replaces the religious symbols with more explicitly Canadian symbolism, trading crosses and fleur-de-lis for maple leaves and a snowflake. The St. Edward’s Crown, which also currently decorates police and military badges and various emblems of sovereignty, has been part of the Arms of Canada since 1957. But the new design, created by the Canadian Heraldic Authority, has sparked concern that the crown has become politicized, National Post columnist John Ivison wrote last week, before the new design had been officially revealed . Some critics have called it the “Trudeau Crown.” “It means the proposed Canadian crown is totally unconnected to the King or the coronation,” said Christopher McCreery, author and expert on Canada’s relationship with the Crown. “It means the unity of the symbol of the Royal Crown that represents the sovereign throughout the realms will be broken, further distancing the King and the monarchy as an institution.” McCreery said he was concerned the redesign was undertaken with “no consultation or debate, developed in secret.” The top portion of Canada’s Royal Coat of Arms as it currently looks, with a depiction of St. Edward’s Crown, worn by Queen Elizabeth II.© Handout The Governor General’s website notes that the new crown was “approved in April 2023 by His Majesty The King on the advice of the Prime Minister of Canada.” It was designed by Cathy Bursey-Sabourin, a principal artist at the Canadian Heraldic Authority. King Charles wore the St. Edward’s Crown for his coronation, which his late mother Queen Elizabeth used. However, Charles has chosen the Tudor Crown as his insignia and is depicted wearing it in official portraits, (despite it having been destroyed in 1649). "When the change was announced on Sept. 26, Ottawa saw an opportunity to introduce a “‘Canadian Crown,’ and over time, reinvent the supreme symbol of Canada, the Royal Coat of Arms,” Ivison wrote. “The structure of the Canadian Royal Crown, a gold rim and two intersecting arches set with pearls, is identical to that of the Tudor Crown,” save for some “highly stylized” touches, notes the website of the Governor General. The Canadianized crown is festooned with maple leaves (“a quintessential Canadian symbol”) and topped with a snowflake emblem (“a reference to Canada being a northern realm.”) “The stylized snowflake makes a direct connection with the insignia of the Order of Canada, one of our country’s highest honours, of which The King is the sovereign,” the Governor General’s website states. “In a nod to the importance of Canada’s landscape and the environment, the upper edge of the rim displays a line of triangular peaks and dips. Like the snowflake, these forms recall the design of the Canadian Diadem and allude to Canada’s rugged landscape, with its many mountain ranges and valleys. Instead of the jewels on the rim, there is a wavy band of blue, symbolizing the country’s many lakes and rivers, as well as its three ocean borders. This blue band, and the water it represents, emphasize the importance of the environment to Canadians, as well as Indigenous teachings that water is the lifeblood of the land.” While some users commented positively under a Twitter post announcing the redesign, others drew a connection between the use of the snowflake and a slang term for an overly sensitive person. “It’s official. A country of snowflakes,” one post reads . “Lol a waste of taxpayer dollars when we have a whole poverty and housing issue in Canada,” wrote another. The Canada Coat of Arms and other official insignia will be updated gradually over the coming years, states the Governor General’s website. “Existing versions of the emblems will remain valid and in use until they require replacement.” Canada unveils new crown with snowflake and maple leaves instead of religious symbols (msn.com) John Ivison: Federal government strips religious symbols from crown adorning Royal Coat of Arms Letters — Thoughts on the 'Trudeau Crown': We are not a 'snowflake' nation Wow! What a ridiculous piece of garbage.

Wow! You just revealed your dirty little secret. You just admitted you have no basis for your morality. You confirmed what the Bible says. "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? " Jeremiah 17:9 King James Bible You clearly judged yourself and it is not a good look.

That is true, but what is your basis of morality?

No, they couldn't be educated on reserves. Nobody in their right mind would go to live on some uncivilized remote reserve where there was no services, no running water, no sewer system, no healthy places to live, no stores, etc. etc. You have to be crazy if you think anyone would go to live on a reserve to teach or work. You forgot we are talking about a time when they had no normal housing or anything on reserves. Reserves still struggle even today in many places with a lack of everything. FNs had to be brought out to the schools, either boarding schools or day schools only where there were clean accommodations for everyone to live and conveniences of life and access to what was needed. But that had to be done off the reserves which were not habitable for non-indigenous people. Simple as that.

I don't think you really know as much as you claim. The bottom line is Capitalism means free enterprise and it has proven far better than Communism. I have heard how it worked in the former Soviet Union. The telephone system was run by the Soviet government. The result was the telephone system was very antiquated and decades behind the rest of the world. When a small town somewhere in the USSR needed some parts to keep their equipment working, they had to wait ages for the parts to arrive because of the Communist system bureaucracy. That's what happens when government runs private enterprise or tries to provide the service that companies should be providing. You trust government, but we see how that works in many ways now in Canada. Vast shortage of housing because of governmen t red tape, fees, taxes, regulations and controlling and interference in everything. Vast numbers of immigrants so there is not enough housing for everyone. Carbon taxes to lower everyone's standard of living. Health care failing because of the socialized system or government control. You can't have it both ways. Either government runs it and does a bad job or private enterprise runs it and does much better. You can't provide high speed internet to every remote village without vast costs for infrastructure. That doesn't make sense to provide service for 50 or 100 people who are sitting on their butts unemployed in some reserve either. They should get out, get educated and get a job like everyone else instead of sitting on their butts demanding high speed internet.

We are not talking about putting people in a barbaric aboriginal culture. We are talking about the fact the aboriginal kids needed to be educated to function in a civilized Canadian society. Is that too much to ask or do? Would you rather leave them uneducated, unemployed and starving on some reserves? Doesn't sound too bright.

FNs had to change with colonization or starve. There was no other choice. They did not understand or agree to working in a day jobs for eight hours a day. So the question was who was going to support them? There was no welfare system or social services in those days. You either worked or starved or begged.

Every kid today is required to go to school to get a basic education. FNs old culture was entirely different. They did not believe in working an eight hour day or going to work on a schedule for five days a week. Their society let the women do most of the day to day chores in the villages and raise the kids, while the men did the hunting and gathering wild foods, game, and fish. But they only did that at certain times. They did not work like white men had to. How do you think they could survive in the new colonized world without a basic education and changing their work culture to a white man's work culture which meant going to work on a schedule every day five or six days a week? They had to learn to be able to work in jobs for other employers like logging, construction, etc. There was no other way to change their thinking except through going to school. They had to be required to attend schools in order to learn to live in society. They need to learn to read, write, and some other subjects in order to function in society. The old life of hunting and gathering had basically ended and there was no choice. The way they lived and their thinking would not support them so how do you think they could live without a basic education and working in society. It is nonsense to say the government was trying to destroy their culture. The FN culture was finished and they could not make a living on that in the new colonized world. That is just the way the world changes. It has always changed and people have always had to adapt to the changes. Secondly, it is ridiculous to say people living today must pay compensation for things that happened in the past that effected FNs lives. That is just how the world changes. You sound like you have no idea about history and how the world works. How do you think they could have lived without a basic education in white man's world?

What are you saying? Do you want a Communist tv system? What are saying here? I don't think anything like that ever happened. You sound like you're making a lot of stuff up. This sound like fiction. Why would government give money out like that? No, I think the telephone company, at least in B.C. has always owned the telephone lines and cables. It did not need to buy any cable internet from any other company. The telephone company provides service to areas that have enough population. How can the phone company provide high speed internet to remote villages when it costs hundreds of millions of dollars to run cables into remote areas and build infrastructure? That has always been the problem. Why would you want to pay for a handful of people in some remote village to have high speed internet? But you will be paying if the lefties and NDP have their way. They would spend billions of dollars to build infrastructure to provide high speed internet to every remote FN village with a handful of people. Capitalism is the best system in the world. It is what made western countries prosperous. Just look at what people in the west own compared with the rest of the world. Communism never worked and never will. Communism goes against human nature because it rewards laziness and takes from those that work hard to innovate and produce something.

If they cut off Fox News, Fox might be able to challenge it in court as a violation of fundamental freedoms.

I was not completely correct on that. I just read part of an article where it says you can use your smart phone without an internet connection or cable to cast a video to a smart tv. But it says it is limited on what you can watch or do. I have not tried that as I don't have a Smart phone or a Smart TV. You could watch some things on a Smart TV that way but it is not as convenient or nearly as useful as just watching programs on the tv directly from a router and cable connection. You would be greatly limited I think. Television also uses a lot of bandwidth on your Smart phone connection and you would be using a cell phone tower. If you have a large monthly bandwidth or unlimited bandwidth, you could watch some things that way. If you have a small bandwidth, television would eat it up because it uses a lot of bandwidth to watch a program on video/television. Can You Use a Smart TV Without the Internet? (hometoys.com)

Whether you use an app like Netflix on a Smart TV, you still need cable service into your home with a wireless router or router with a cable connected to the TV. Always need a cable. If you live in an apartment building, you still must use Wifi to connect to a router somewhere close by in the building for your Smart TV. All wireless routers are connected to the telephone company via a cable. You pay for the service either yourself or added to your rent. To sum it up, everyone gets their internet service via a cable that runs from the telephone exchange to everyone's home. It is connected to a router which has Wifi. You can then use your smart phone, laptop computer, or smart tv to connect via the wireless router in your home. That's how it works with telephone companies. Cablevision companies also use cables, which probably are connected to the local telephone company equipment in the telephone exchange.

I buy cable, actually fibre optic because I get high speed internet, television, and home telephone service. It comes as a package from Telus. You can't get just internet. You have to take the whole home services package. Smart TVs won't work without cable anyway. Smart TVs work off a cable with a router in your house. How do you get smart TV without an internet connection on a cable? Not sure if you know how it works. Almost everyone has to pay for a cable connection. You also need a cable for wifi if you want to use a laptop or desk computer on the internet. The only other way you could get Wifi is if you had a Satellite dish and got your TV and internet from a satellite which is very expensive and not necessarily high speed either.

How else do you get television or internet at home?

Canadians are being scammed right and left and required to pay compensation for aboriginal children who attended day school. How is this reasonable? If someone was abused that is one thing. But paying every kid who went to school tens of thousands of dollars because they were allegedly deprived of some dead native language is ludicrous and a scam. If that is the case, I am sure will come up with excuses to make Canadians pay and pay forever.

And why shouldn't they? Everyone is compelled to go to school and get a basic education. Why should Aboriginal children have been exempt? Do you seriously think school should have been optional? Why should Canadians be paying billions of dollars for aboriginals children who were required to go to school back in the mid 20th century. This is just another insane payout by the Liberal-NDP shysters.

Should this shock Canadians? Should we be surprised that the Liberals would freely use taxpayer's money for their own purposes? How the Trudeau Foundation became a scandal mill | National Post What was the whole purpose of this foundation? Why was so much taxpayer money poured into it? We are told it was to be a benevolent organization to fund scholarships for students. But what kind of students? Are they students closely connected with the Liberal elite circle or what is the deal here? Is it to promote Liberalism and increase Liberal fortunes? I think there are a lot of questions arising from such a vast sum of money being taken from taxpayers for this cause. When a large amount of taxpayer money is used for such a purpose and when there are clear connections to the Liberal Party or people associated with it, I think taxpayers have a right to know what is going on and there should be accountability to Canadians. " The foundation would award doctoral fellowships; up to $50,000 over four years for humanities scholars who looked “to promote (Pierre Trudeau’s) ideas,” in the words of Roy Heenan, Trudeau’s former law partner." "Promote Pierre Trudeau idea's" That pretty well says it all. We have an idea that means liberal ideology including progressivism. Seems they must have done a pretty good job. Canada is descending further downward in a spiral of liberalism with same-sex marriage, abortion on demand, medical assistance in dying even for poor people who can't afford accommodations or food or medical care, and now people with mental issues, globalism, financial support for Romanism, continual release on bail and parole of dangerous offenders who go out to commit crimes and murder police and others, and mass immigration from the third world.

Did you folks see the latest revelations about China's interference and threats against a member of Parliament's relatives in China? And the Liberals do nothing about it. I have to wonder, is the Liberal government under the control of China now? Is that really possible? They do not want to expel anybody and appear running scared of China.

The Liberals are not listening to Canadians, not listening to Premiers, not listening to all the Chiefs of police. They are a complete disaster for Canada and have to go.

...tempers have not been so easily soothed by former prime minister Jean Chrétien’s cavalier assessment : “Ten or 15 constituencies in Canada at most? I don’t think it’s a very big problem.” " Really? Is Chretien serious? Does he really understand what he said? This certainly seems to me like a serious threat to our democracy. What if an election resulted in a minority government and they were less than ten or fifteen seats short of a majority. What if this was due to Chinese interference? Would this not be an earth-shattering consequence of interference in the electoral process? It appears a difference of a few seats, even ten or less could determine which party forms government or stays in power. Why would Canadians accept such a situation as a Communist country determining what kind of government Canada has? Seems unthinkable.

Nobody should have any doubt that Romanism is a system that sets itself up as the mediator and judge between everyone and God.

God save the King.

Just for the record, this is what Chretien said about the Chinese Communist interference in Canadian elections: quote It’s also all to the good that the spotlight has been bright on the dirty work of Beijing’s agents of influence in efforts to monkey-wrench the outcome of the 2019 and 2021 federal elections to the advantage of Justin Trudeau’s Liberals, and that Canadian tempers have not been so easily soothed by former prime minister Jean Chrétien’s cavalier assessment : “Ten or 15 constituencies in Canada at most? I don’t think it’s a very big problem.” " Terry Glavin: Why we may have finally reached a tipping point on Chinese interference (msn.com) You be the judge.
