"Davis also said that given the size of some donations – some are in excess of $30,000 – and the speed that the money poured in, she thinks there’s good reason to wonder where the money is coming from. “The amount of money that's been raised, in the short period of time that that's happened, is very interesting,” she said. “It raises a lot of questions about the organic nature of that fundraising activity. Were these all people who were interested in the anti-mandate aspects of the convoy? Or was there something else driving interest in the protest?” Security experts concerned about possible ‘threat financing’ tied to trucker convoy (msn.com) When large amounts of money, like over $30,000 is coming from foreign unidentified sources, it should raise alarm bells as this could be a threat to national security. Must be some very rich or powerful foreign actors behind this. Could it even be foreign governments who are trying to cause anarchy and instability in our democracy?

When you throw words like "fascist" or "Nazi" around you show your ignorance and extremism.

If there was an election now, I think Trudeau might win a majority. The Conservatives are out of touch with most Canadians.

Yes, the protesters are a big group. But don't forget there are 38 millions Canadians and I'm pretty sure they don't support extremist law-breakers or people who want to destroy our democratic system and eliminate the health measures to protect Canadians.

Transport Minister Omar Alghabra is turning out to be a very sensible speaker. He met with some truckers today and talked with them. He explained to the media that he understands how Canadians are frustrated with the pandemic and all the health measures that have been taken to fight the pandemic. Many Canadians have done their part to get vaccinated, and follow the health guidelines. We don't know where this pandemic is going, but health care workers have been working overtime under unbearable conditions to help people who have been infected. Thousands of people have had their surgeries put on hold. Many have died. Canadians need to hang in there. We need to get through this and keep the health care system going. Alghabra is turning out to be a remarkable leader.

Sorry, I don't speak Greek.

"20 Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets: {Wisdom: Heb. Wisdoms, that is, Excellent wisdom} 21 She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying, 22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? 23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. 24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; 25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: 26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; 27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. 28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: 29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:" Proverbs 1:20-28 KJV This whole so-called freedom protest is nothing more than a mass of anarchists. This will not work out well for those involved and supporting this. God is opposed to anarchists and law-breakers. They are on the losing side. Government has the right and power to take whatever action is necessary to protect the people. That could take any form.

There have been weapons seized that were coming into the occupation in Ottawa. There is also information from American intelligence and law enforcement that there are American actors involved in this.

"7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. " Proverbs 1:7 KJV Pointing out that anarchists and those who support them need to change their thinking. Supporting unlawful occupations is not wise. The word repent means change and many need to change their thinking. Some on the forum are acting like spoil brats and just trying to stir the pot. There are two thousand more protesters expected this weekend. If anyone thinks this problem is going to go away, they need to wake up. This is anarchy and the potential for far more trouble is real.

Did your folks ever give you a spanking for bad behavior? Didn't think so.

You will find out when we see how this so-called freedom protest goes in the coming days and weeks. I assume you condone the occupation of downtowns and disrupting everyone's life and blockading of highways, etc. These are all illegal activities and can only be described as anarchy. If you approve of blockading highways and streets, you have defined yourself as a lawbreaker and anarchist.

If protests threaten the peace and life of Canadians, government can take whatever measures to restore law and order and protect our democratic institutions. There are many people in the world who are anarchists and will use any excuse to foment anarchy and revolution. This should never be forgotten. This has happened repeatedly throughout history in many countries. Canada is not exempt from these kinds of things. One of the purposes of an army is to defend a nation from internal threats. We had to do that in the FLQ crisis in 1970 with the War Measure Act. This situation could be heading in that direction if there are large numbers of people intent on creating anarchy and chaos and trying to overthrow our government. Depending on how this occupation goes, we will see what these protesters are intent on doing.

There is a right to protest against government laws or policies as long as it is done peacefully and does not involve illegal activities. This protest is full of illegal activities, illegal occupation of the city to begin with, and numerous other illegal activities. The leaders of the protest have already said in their manifesto that their purpose is to overthrow the democratically-elected government. That is sedition. That should be examined and if necessary action taken. Sedition warrants the use of the army if necessary to protect our democratic government and system.

You bet they are anarchists. Illegal occupation, breaking laws, threatening and intimidating citizens, shutting down businesses, disturbing the peace with steady honking, etc. fits the definition of anarchy. If a group of trucks surrounded your home and blocked you from entering and leaving and did all those things they are doing, you might agree it is anarchy.

Individuals can protest if they do it legally and not occupy any place. But only an idiot would believe using trucks to blockade are a legitimate protest.

Lawbreakers need to repent and obey the law. People are fed up and frustrated with the thugs. This has nothing to do with freedom. These are anarchists.

The fact is politicians and protesters demanding freedom don't determine when the pandemic ends. Governments are required to maintain the public health care system and if it is threatened to explode with Covid patients, governments all over the world have no choice but to bring in health restrictions. The problem is still much of the world has been vaccinated very little or few people and new variants could originate from those places and spread to the west. The west needs to get busy and help get those places vaccinated.

Of course everyone want the pandemic to end and restrictions lifted. But different provinces are experiencing different levels of Covid. Your poll mentions 54% want the restrictions to end. The reality is polls may have a degree of input to the politicians, but the health authorities will have a major say as they examine the spread and risks to society in lifting restrictions. So I don't think there is any hard and fast rule anywhere that says a poll determines when the restrictions will be lifted. It will most likely be a gradual process depending especially on the pressure on hospitals and ICUs by Covid patients. Hopefully no new dangerous variant will suddenly appear and start spreading all over again because that could change the whole picture.

With all the extreme anti-health restrictions and anti-mandate MPs in the party, who in their right mind would want to try to lead a group like that? By showing their support for the so-called freedom protesters, they are destroying the conservative party. I don't think that is where the majority of Canadians are.

Are you stamping your feet and screaming still about taking reasonable health measures to protect your neighbour? Even little school children had to be vaccinated to protect the other kids in schools. Or did you somehow think it was evil and escape it?

That is actually a very important question you ask. I'm glad you asked it. 1. I don't believe Satan is using me because I believe in Jesus Christ and his word, the Bible. .Jesus is God and is infinitely more powerful than Satan. Satan is a created being. This website says: "A Father’s Care God is not only our Creator; He is also our Father. As such, it is inconceivable that He would leave His children unprotected. In Matthew 6:8, Jesus says that our Father knows our needs before we ask Him. If we, even in our fallen condition, seek to provide for our children, how much more does God in His perfection seek to shelter and care for His offspring! Scripture testifies that He has “granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence” (2 Peter 1:3). The more we possess a true knowledge of the Almighty, the more accessible His provisions for us become. What has He given us? He has prepared an abiding place for us where all that we need concerning life and godliness is ours. It is a place where every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places belongs to us in Christ (Eph. 1:3)." The following verses pretty well sum it up: "10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. {flesh…: Gr. blood and flesh} {spiritual…: or, wicked spirits} {high: or, heavenly} 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. {having…: or, having overcome all} 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; " Ephesians 6:10-17 KJV If you want to watch some video messages on this go to Pastor Stephane Chauvette's website called A Word for Today. He is speaking on this subject weekly now and has his messages on his website. You can find them there and watch them. You too can be protected from Satan if you become a child of God in Jesus Christ. 2. As for the definition of secular humanist, I am only going by what I read on websites on the subject. I also looked it up on dictionaries on the internet. You can verify that yourself via a search engine.

"What do I think?" Well, I think the definition of secular humanism mean the followers of it do not believe in the Almighty God of the Bible. But there may be exceptions. The Bible says the devils believe in God and tremble. So belief in a god in an of itself does not make a person a Christian or does not mean he is not a servant of Satan. If the devils can believe in God and still be opposed to God, then humans could do the same thing. There may be humanists who believe in some sort of god, but the correct definition of secular humanism means one who is an atheistic and believes human reasoning is the highest form of morality. So while it is possible a humanist could believe in god, it does not make him on the right side of god. If should be pointed out that all men are born with an evil, corrupt heart according to the Bible. Therefore everyone could be under the influence of Satan or following him, unless he is born again. See gospel of John.

Obviously if you can answer so quickly, you didn't bother reading anything I posted. So I will post this from the link I gave above: The real question is who are you following, God or Satan? quote The Bible teaches in our text verse that Satan is the god of this world, but the true and living God owns the earth and the fullness thereof (1st Corinthians 10:26). The Devil is only the god of the world's evil political, religious and control system. As such, Satan needs a way to communicate his evil desires with those evil men and women who are willing servants. Satan controls his willing servants through spiritual mediums such as Aleister Crowley, Helen Blavatsky and other occultists. Alex Jones snuck into Bohemian Grove in the year 2000 and recorded the dark highpriest summonsing Satan to “grant us thy counsel.” Evil men seek Satan's counsel, and they receive it through witchcraft and satanism. And then Satan deceives many people by imitating Christ's ministers. Most of the people who are following the Devil think they are doing the right thing. Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, Seventh Day Adventists and Roman Catholics are all satanic religious cults, but sincerely think that they are doing the right thing. This is true of nearly all their adherents, but don't be fooled, the top leaders of these evil organizations are sold out to Freemasonry and Satan. They are fully aware of Satan's control over these organizations, which is why they are all top level Freemasons, Luciferian worshippers. Charles Taze Russell (founder of the Jehovah's Witnesses) and Joseph Smith (founder of the Mormons) were both 33rd degree Freemasons. So also was Oral Roberts, Ron Hubbard and many others. By taking control over a small handful of top positions of power in every field of industry, education, entertainment, government, corporate and religious influence, occult members are able to control the world for Satan. SIGNS OF SATAN! The sinister global elite have all the money and own all the television networks, Hollywood studios, mainstream news outlets, and the music and video game industries. Remember, Satan is the god of this world (2nd Corinthians 4:4), and as such he needs a way to control the world. This is accomplished by a pyramid of power, a chain of command flowing from the tiny elite top level down to the widespread pawns on the bottom.
