The last one before that was Borden. If you include the United Church (since it is an off-shoot of the Christian Faith), Harper was raised a Christian but converted to the dissenter heresy. one should never bear fealty to any particular Prime Minister only the monarch is Sovereign the entire foundation of our system of governance as in the other direction lies only American republicanism the very anathema of Canada itself as this Confederation is not built to take the pounding therein ; beware 1 Quote

Zeitgeist Posted February 17, 2024 Report Posted February 17, 2024 (edited) I’m just not sure the Canadian government is interested in anything that could be called Canadian historically or culturally, which if true, makes Canada purely a jurisdiction of economic value and quality of life value. While I don’t think one can separate cultural values from quality of life (as what we enjoy and like depends very much on what is familiar and good based on our cultural beliefs and proclivities), if we just focus on Canada as a Post-National State money making colony, I’m not sure it’s that competitive. The average moderately hard working and talented person can make more money and have more in the US now. The social safety nets are more similar than ever in both countries, but at least in the US I can choose higher quality private healthcare that I can’t get in Canada. The only area where Canada beats the US is in public safety and public education, but we are also less able to push back against bad governance because of our weaker free speech and individual rights. We don’t even have constitutional protection of property in Canada. So, if you strip away the Crown and our British ties, you have an economically weaker, militarily weaker version of the US with fewer rights. Meh. Such a country is more susceptible to Chinese and international pressure, let alone US pressure. At that point, without the Crown, we’d be better off as distinct countries (formerly provinces), some or all of which would likely eventually join the US, perhaps with less representation in Washington than US states. It doesn’t have to go that way. Canada is resource rich and highly educated. With an affirmation of our culture, an unleashing of our resource sector, and a stronger military, Canada could chart her own strong path, maintaining strong alliances with Britain and the US but serving her own interests primarily.

This pope has said that the Church has much in common with Marxists and he has brought in heretical documents like Fiducia Suplicans. Once sins are blessed and family life is mocked, even meekly, it’s hard not to see a great apostasy afoot. The last secret of Fatima refers to an attack on the family in end times. If we don’t see that at least the seeds of that have been sown, we are either blind or ignorant. Once humanity stops reproducing itself, that’s mass suicide. That’s underway in the West, and the Church seems unable or unwilling to speak up. They used to. Pope Francis has more or less renounced missionary work as “proselytizing”, so the same forces that ended Anglican public education in Canada are at work in Catholic public education. The Church’s own leadership seems to be squandering its primary mission: leading souls to salvation. Edited February 17, 2024 by Zeitgeist Quote

They alone cannot destroy the Church, so I’m hanging in there. However, as you well know as a political critic of our government, the awareness of what is threatening the West spiritually is dim among too many. The opposition are lone cries in the wilderness, but voices that must be heard. Quote

Ian Paisley was one of the greatest politicians and preachers of the 20th century. Why do you think the Communists, Marxists, anti-Christians, anti-Bible people, and revolutionaries always came out to his public meetings to demonstrate and protest and try to silence him?

Canada won't be recognizable as a European founded country or a Judeo-Christian society in the not too distant future. That is what the liberal Papist machine wants. They hate WASPs, (white Aglo Saxon Protestants). They are working to change the demographics so that most voters will be third world immigrants that believe in their brand of liberalism/progressivism/Socialism. If you don't agree with them (liberals), your thinking is wrong; ask Trudeau or liberals. Quote
