How would Canadians of 100 years ago have viewed the state of Canada today? If they were able to “turn over in their graves”—as the saying goes— today’s moral decay would have them spinning.

I’m sure they were a less civilized lot, back then; don’t you agree? I hear they even said hurtful things to one another. Of course, I can’t remember reading about any Prime Minister elbowing or manhandling other Members of Parliament. But, my memory doesn’t go back that far.

My granddaughter, when she doesn’t get her own way, screams and kicks and thrashes about; of course, she’s not quite 4 years old so I expect that will gradually change.

Why was our Prime Minister so angry that he “lost it” in the House? Because he wanted to see Bill C-14 (the Assisted Suicide Bill) rammed through quickly and he wasn’t getting his way (in spite of invoking “closure” and stifling debate). In 2015, Canada’s judicial oligarchy, called the Supreme Court of Canada, chose to strike down another law, the one protecting Canadians from being killed by their doctors; nine unelected judges presumed to make yet one more judgment that was based on what they thought the law should be, rather than the actual law that our lawfully elected government had enacted. They then ordered our government to change that law by a certain date. They had no right to do this and the government had no obligation to submit to their unrighteous judgment. This government, however, chose to hide behind the court ruling and to pretend that they had no choice. Their protestations ring hollow; they have now combined cowardice with deception.

According to the government website, “The judicial branch is a series of independent courts that interpret the laws passed by the other two branches.” ‘Interpret’, according to my dictionary, means, “explain the meaning of (information, words, or actions).” That means something different than, ‘strike down’, which according to the dictionary means to “annul or nullify.”

It seems that our Courts don’t read the dictionary, or don’t accept that they are not primary rulers of Canada with Parliament only there to carry out the judicial will. Since they continue to “legislate from the bench” and Parliament continues to do their bidding, they see no reason to cease and desist.

Back to our Prime Minister: this problem with governing under the courts can be frustrating. Particularly, when the government has been so emasculated that they haven’t the courage to tell the Supreme Court of Canada to get back to interpreting the laws, as they find them written . . . not writing new laws.

Why did our PM get so frustrated last week? Bill C-14, the Medically Assisted Murder Bill was stalled on the floor of the House! Our Supreme Court had ignored the law, permitted people to die under the law and ordered Parliament to rewrite the law. Our PM, in an effort to ensure that doctors could begin legally medically killing Canadians as soon as possible, became frustrated with opposing MPs who may not share his casual view of murder.

Perhaps for the first time, Canadians may feel some empathy for the Germans in 1930. Hitler and his government allowed the ‘Medically Assisted Murder’ of people whose lives were not productive. How different are we?

Today, Canadians fall into three categories:

1. Those who support “Medically Assisted Murder”
2. Those who are opposed to “Medically Assisted Murder”
3. Those who are bamboozled enough by the rhetoric to think that perhaps people should be ‘put down’ like their pets because it’s the ‘humane’ thing to do.

How will this generation of Canadians be judged by future generations? We now know about the “slippery slope”. Germany experienced it under Hitler; the Netherlands and Belgium slid down this same slope after embracing euthanasia. We know where it leads. We have been warned. Canadians must do what Germans in the 1930s did not do. We must face our government and say, “NO! Not on my watch!”

This week, we anticipate that a vote will take place in Parliament. We can hope and pray that the shenanigans of last week may have ended this plan to further erode our heritage, which recognizes the value of every human life. But, it will only end it for this round. Those who wish us to become a savage land of death will not stop. Their support of “Medically Assisted Murder” must become so abhorrent in this country that their shame will be exposed.

There is only one political party that has the courage to stand against Courts that usurp the authority vested in our elected officials. There is only one political party that will use, as needed, the “Notwithstanding Clause” for the purpose given in our Constitution. There is only one political party that supports our heritage of providing love and support to carry people through their depressions, their medical challenges, their passing out of this world into eternity.

The battle to protect our heritage, our values and our principles is far from over. It will continue as long as these values remain important to us, as long as we have the freedom and the will to defend them. It’s time for all Canadians to enter the battle to defend the worldview that has given us the greatest freedoms and opportunities ever known. Defend our Christian heritage. Your children’s lives and freedoms depend on it.
