  1. The federal government, Trudeau specifically, killed the Northern Gateway Pipeline project and the Energy East Pipeline project after he was elected in 2015. Since there was only one pipeline to the west coast from Alberta, the Trans Mountain Pipeline, already in existence for over 50 years and it needed expansion, the government had no choice but to take if over to get it built. It is the only pipeline there is to ship Alberta oil to the west coast. So they had no choice. But aside from that the federal government is opposed to the energy industry and is working on transitioning away from fossil fuels, which is unrealistic because they will be with us for the foreseeable future. Trudeau and company live in an alternate reality and are imposing their ideology on the rest of Canada at our expense.
  2. Strange how the federal government claims to be opposed to sexual abuse while they paid 35 million dollars of taxpayer money for the Pope's visit to Canada recently. "There have been many cases of sexual abuse of children by priests, nuns, and other members of religious life in the Catholic Church. In the 20th and 21st centuries, the cases have involved many allegations, investigations, trials, convictions, acknowledgement and apologies by Church authorities, and revelations about decades of instances of abuse and attempts by Church officials to cover them up.[3] The abused include mostly boys but also girls, some as young as three years old, with the majority between the ages of 11 and 14.[4][5][6][7] " Catholic Church sexual abuse cases - Wikipedia The allegation is often made by defenders of the Catholic church that sexual abuse is just as bad or worse in Protestant churches. However, this is doubtful because it ignores the reality that the Catholic church forbids it's priests to marry. They are required to take a vow of celibacy and remain unmarried. That is completely unnatural and is a major cause of temptation. Priests are also in the position where their congregants are put in a position of trusting them as they confess to them privately. People go to the confessional and are required to confess all their personal sins to the priest. This gives the priest a certain power over every person under them. This is not a part of the Protestant churches belief system. In fact there are no priests in Protestant churches. Ministers are permitted to marry and have families which means they are in a completely different situation.
  3. " Modern doomsayers have been predicting climate and environmental disaster since the 1960s. They continue to do so today. None of the apocalyptic predictions with due dates as of today have come true. What follows is a collection of notably wild predictions from notable people in government and science. More than merely spotlighting the failed predictions, this collection shows that the makers of failed apocalyptic predictions often are individuals holding respected positions in government and science. While such predictions have been and continue to be enthusiastically reported by a media eager for sensational headlines, the failures are typically not revisited. 1967: ‘Dire famine by 1975.’" Wrong Again: 50 Years of Failed Eco-pocalyptic Predictions - Competitive Enterprise Institute (cei.org)
  4. The federal government just announced they are giving 13 billion dollars to the multinational corporation, Volkswagon, over ten years, to subsidize the building of an EV battery plant in Ontario. The Canadian taxpayer's federation and the opposition party are opposed to this and say according to their calculations this will cost taxpayers about 1.6 million dollars per job to create 8,000 jobs. Here is a classic example of how liberals and left are Socialists and use taxpayer's money to promote their Socialist ideology. Government has all kinds of regulations and interfere constantly with private enterprise in Canada but spend billions of dollars for things that they favour which fit in with their ideology. Is this part of the great "transition" away from fossil fuels to EVs? If green energy is a sensible investment and electric vehicles are such a great thing, why does it take so much taxpayer money to develop it? If it is a profitable industry, why are we forced to subsidize a multinational corporation to do this? In the meantime the feds are hammering the energy industry in Alberta and the west and have been blocking the construction of pipelines in Canada. Even refusing to help ship natural gas to Europe and Japan. $13B for an EV battery plant — and that's just from the feds | Watch (msn.com)
  5. Canada bows and scrapes to the Pope and pays 35 million dollars for a papal visit to Canada. Yet their scandals never seem to end. The government stopped funding Hockey Canada because of sexual abuses and the way they were handled. Why are we still funding Catholic schools and paying for papal visits? Scandals that the Catholic Church doesn't want you to know about (msn.com)
  6. Socialists don't have to eliminate private property. Your idea of eliminating private property is a red herring. Why would they? They simply take control of what anyone does with it with regulations and tax the owner to death. Regulate and tax is what Socialists do and what they are doing across Canada. Chow will be good at that.
  7. Capitalism and individualism is exactly what Rome opposes. They do not like individual freedom. That's what the Reformation had a lot to do with and they have been opposing it ever since, trying to turn the calender backwards. The only reason we have freedom in this country is because of the Reformation which was a rejection of Romanism. Why do you think we have free speech and democracy? It never existed before the Reformation. Thank the great Reformers like Luther, Calvin and John Knox and the martyrs that were burned at the stake. The Protestant Reformation - Bing video
  8. Historically they will support whatever they think will best serve them and increase their power, either Fascism or Socialism. It doesn't matter which one as long it is works for their goals of control. That's just history.
  9. What do you think is behind multiculturalism, mass immigration from the third world into Canada, illegal migrants crossing the border, Liberal's globalism, one-world government agenda that some have, the U.N., anti-capitalism, etc. Romanism has a lot to do with it behind the scenes. Romanist thinking. Funny how evangelical Christians are more supportive of the Republican party in the U.S. Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden are both Papists and we know they are more welcoming of the millions of illegal migrants crossing the border illegally. Pelosi and Biden are more Globalists and believe in the phony climate change alarmism and control of everything. Both Papists...strange coincidence eh.
  10. The Catholic church or more correctly the Vatican does not believe in individual freedom. They support any system that helps them increase their power and influence in the world, be it Fascism or Socialism. That is a historical fact. Why do you think they signed Concordats with the Nazis, Franco in Spain, and Mussolini in Italy?
  11. Actually that is another error. Liberal ideology comes from Romanism which embraces Socialism as well at times in history. The current Pope is a supporter of Socialism. He is no fan of capitalism and free enterprise or freedom.
  12. We know what kind of anti-Christian, anti-Bible person you are. I happen to believe Popery has a lot to do with everything in Canada and with politics. Trudeau is a member of Romanism and lots of people in his government too. That is entirely relevant. Why do you think we are paying 35 million dollars for the Pope's visit last year? Simple. Because we have a Romanist government. We also know from your comments you only want comments that agree with your narrative. That's not how it works.
  13. After many centuries of the darkness or Rome, there are people who still don't understand it is an anti-Christian system. Anyone who knows a little history of Europe should know the Reformation was the point where people realized they were not going to be enslaved by the false religious system any longer. That is the point where realized individual freedom was worth fighting for. They rejected the slavery of Popery and understood every person has a God-given right to worship God in his own way with being a slave and paying their money to Rome.
  14. That's weird because Romanism is anti-Christian and anti-Biblical. If you studied the Bible at all you would learn these things and would not be in chains tied to an anti-Christian system trying to shirk someone off who is warning about it. I have decades of experience and accumulated knowledge on it. I not only understand what the Bible says and how it exposes the false system of the anti-Christ, but I have a fair idea of what happened in history under the Papal system. You can't fool me. Sadly we still have people in complete darkness who seem to have closed minds. I have given reams of information but it must have passed over you.
  15. You betcha. Papists control the political system in this country and Romanism is a big part of it. Did you know WE Charity has some kind of connection with the Jesuit order? You've heard of WE Charity. Everyone has by now. But how much do you know about them? The founders went to the same Jesuit-founded college as the Trudeaus went. 'Craig and Marc Kielburger attended Brebeuf College School, a publicly- funded Roman Catholic all-boys high school in Toronto. Founded by the Jesuits in 1963, it is part of the Toronto Catholic District School Board and has been associated with the Jesuit’s Presentation Brothers since 1984 (42). This happens to be the same school that Pierre and Justin Trudeau attended (43). This is even the school where Justin wore his infamous blackface (44)." Trudeau’s WE Charity Linked to Jesuits and Child Labour – Civilian Intelligence Network Beware of Michael. He is secret Romanist supporter. But maybe you are too? Did you consider any of my arguments against Romanism or just blindly dismiss it all?
  16. Believe it or not, one of the purposes of the Jesuit order was to reverse the Reformation and return all nations to the absolute authority of Rome or the Papacy. I know Catholics will find this hard to believe. Much of our liberal government are Papists and is it a strange coincidence that they oppose individual freedom? It should be of no surprise. Trudeau received his secondary education in a Jesuit founded college in Quebec. Jesuit ideology is part of liberal ideology. That should be understood. That means they would inherently be opposed to Capitalism and individual freedom. Those things came as a result of the Reformation which threw off the chains of Rome on much of Europe. The formation of the Jesuits was a central part of the counter-Reformation. The idea is to bring the west back under the complete dominion of Rome. That can be helped by establishing authoritarianism and eliminating individual freedom.
  17. The reason why Canada has no moral leadership is because those in power believe in secular humanist ideology or liberalism rather than Judeo-Christian principles based on God's revelation to man, the Holy Scriptures. Many of these leaders and their supporters are Papists which do not accept the Bible as any kind of guide or authority. There are even some from other apostate denominations who also reject Judeo-Christian principles which are Biblical principles.
  18. That's correct. The Rebel Media is asking for donations to mount a legal challenge against C-11 because C-11 is also aimed at silencing small internet media companies like Rebel Media that question the Liberal government.
  19. I don't think so Michael. "The Bible is consistent through both Old and New Testaments in confirming that homosexuality is sin (Genesis 19:1–13; Leviticus 18:22; 20:13; Romans 1:26–27; 1 Corinthians 6:9; 1 Timothy 1:10; Jude 1:7). In this matter, the New Testament reinforces what the Old Testament had declared since the Law was given to Moses (Leviticus 20:13). The difference between the Old and New Testaments is that the New Testament offers hope and restoration to those caught up in the sin of homosexuality through the redeeming power of Jesus. It is the same hope that is offered to anyone who chooses to accept it (John 1:12; 3:16–18)" What does the New Testament say about homosexuality? | GotQuestions.org
  20. You are at war against Biblical Christianity and you support Herbie in his opposition to "fundamentalism" or Biblical Christianity; yet you call yourself a Christian? There is only one Christian set of beliefs as the Bible teaches. How do you explain your opposition to Christianity while claiming to be a Christian? You can't have it both ways.
  21. We have always had the odd institution with cult or aberrant behavior. Of course I would not agree with beating anybody with paddles. If you want to pick isolated cases of bad behavior, I am sure we can look through history and find plenty. We have been hearing plenty about rampant sexual abuse in Hockey Canada for example and millions of dollars in settlements for it. Did you ever hear of anyone going to jail for that? We hear of random attacks against innocent citizens by knife wielding mental cases every day and governments that have done nothing about it and courts that release offenders immediately after they are arrested. Society is full of crime and corruption. Sexual abuse has been common in many different groups of society. Bad behavior is common and not only in one Christian school that you single out. Immoral behavior is common at all levels of government as well. There is no moral foundation except for a small number of people. Mount Cashel boarding school in Newfoundland was a major issue for decades. Read about that. A few years back a group of young men in a Catholic high school in Toronto were charged for sexual and physical abuse of one student. They were sticking a broom handle up his rear end.
  22. Teaching "children" such a thing is child abuse. No child should be told such a thing. There is no evidence that teaching that kind of thing will reduce bullying. In fact, in B.C. they started teaching sexual orientation and gender identity in schools about eight years ago and the amount of violent behavior is high in Surrey, B.C. No sign that teaching SOGI has improved the behavior of young people. They could teach children to be kind to one another without exception and bring the Bible back into schools as once was the case. The public school system has become an ideological base for the woke, secularism, and the left.
  23. Pure fiction. Studies show people are not born gay. The reality of people's experiences demonstrate they were not "born that way". Science has found no proof people are born that way. "Massive Study Finds No Single Genetic Cause of Same-Sex Sexual Behavior" Massive Study Finds No Single Genetic Cause of Same-Sex Sexual Behavior - Scientific American "Is sexuality purely the result of our biology? Brandon Ambrosino argues that simplistic explanations have ignored the fluid, shape-shifting nature of our desires." ‘I am gay – but I wasn’t born this way’ - BBC Future "For decades, “born this way” has been the rallying cry of the mainstream gay rights movement, a simple slogan cited as the basis for both political change and cultural acceptance." 'Born this way'? For many in LGBT community, it's way more complex (usatoday.com) There is no ‘gay gene.’ There is no ‘straight gene.’ Sexuality is just complex, study confirms | PBS NewsHour "Scholars at the esteemed Johns Hopkins University studied the origins of homosexuality and found there is insufficient evidence to say gay, lesbian, or transgender people are born this way (sexual orientation or gender identity). They believe Homosexuality is caused by a variety of factors, including childhood sexual molestation and social pressures. Many Americans believe people are born gay or transgender and others believe individuals choose that type of lifestyle. It’s a hot topic and people on the left, especially LGBTs, follow the dictum that gays and transgenders are born that way." John Hopkins Refutes Myth that Homosexuals Are ‘Born this Way.’ (independentsentinel.com) However, this is not the only moral issue and there are many other issues that are important such as how respect for human life, that is, the sanctity of (human) life, which is not respected. We now have MAID and abortion on demand. Leftism or Socialism is another issue that involves morality. There is a serious absence of morality in the country and governing.
  24. This website describes how in the U.S. most Catholics disagree with their church on abortion and LGBT issues. No confusion about a new poll: Most U.S. Catholics disagree with church leaders on abortion and L.G.B.T. issues | America Magazine In other words most Catholics in the U.S. and likely Canada support abortion (free choice) and support the LGBT agenda, in spite of what some of their church leadership might believe. This seems to be the situation in many, if not most countries, proving the world is really a fallen, corrupt place as the Bible teaches. "23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" Romans 3:23 KJV It is clear in the Catholic religion everyone is free to support whatever they wish and there are no consequences as far as their church is concerned. It seems clear their religion has practically no impact on their beliefs on moral issues. How does that fit with the Bible's teaching? "17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. " Matthew 7:17-20 KJV If seems that Catholicism has no impact on morality and thus again demonstrates it cannot be a true Biblical religion. This is why many politicians who are Catholic are completely free to pass laws and do whatever they wish whether it is contrary to their church's teachings or not. This would appear to be one reason Canada is at the forefront in the world for a number of immoral laws and practices. Examples are no laws against abortion or even controlling it, legalized euthanasia or medical assistance in dying (even being planned for those with mental problems as the sole criteria). Other laws and legal practices are legalized same-sex marriage. gambling casinos are widespread, legalized marijuana, legalized hard drugs in some places, internet gambling, teaching sexual orientation and gender identity to young school kids. This moral vacuum so to speak will influence all laws and government decisions. Nothing has any moral basis or foundation behind it. The country then becomes like a ship without a rudder drifting aimlessly in the sea. There is a vast moral vacuum.
  25. The influence of Romanism in America is growing and spreading. " Our Lady of Guadalupe is the hardest working saint out there. Recently, this most Latin of Marys, champion of the outsider, the poor, and the oppressed, has been invoked by supporters of the Dream Act. Clearly, among her many qualities, the Virgin also has a fine sense of irony: this year, on December 9, the feast day of the peasant Juan Diego, who did not look or speak like those in power, the U.S. Senate once again delayed legislation that would enable immigration reform. Although La Virgen's ubiquitous presence defies simple explanation, her ability to mediate contradictions—whether religious, political, ethnic, or economic—is undeniable. The proof is everywhere around us. That Guadalupe's image is found on bottle caps as well as in basilicas is evidence of the wide faith in her perennial power to build bridges between people with different values. Let's hope she makes an appearance soon on the Senate floor." Lady of Guadalupe: Virgin Mary’s New Symbolism for Gangs and Commerce (thedailybeast.com) All this of course is idolatry and nowhere taught in the Bible. Pure inventions of men.
