On June 2, 2021, Canadian MP’s voted overwhelmingly AGAINST backbencher MP Cathay Wagantall’s Private Member’s Bill C-233, the Sex-Selective Abortion Act.

This week, Canada has been moved and shaken by the discovery of the bodies of 215 indigenous children buried on the grounds of a former residential school located in Kamloops, B.C.

Christians are familiar with the statement, “We do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” (Ephesians 6:12). This passage serves to remind us that, although in day-to-day life we find ourselves contending with people on important issues, those people are not the source of the problem.

Last December, CHP Canada was invited to be an intervenor in an Ontario Superior Court Judicial Review between Guelph and Area Right to Life (GARL) and the City of Guelph regarding Guelph’s decision to remove 3 pro-life ads from their buses.

Are Prime Minister Trudeau, Canadian Heritage Minster Steven Guilbeault, and Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland trying to import aspects of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) dictatorship into Canada?

​On February 6, 1952, Canada was the first Commonwealth country to announce the death of King George VI. Newspapers around the world reported ancient words, “The king is dead!

As we all know, death and taxes are sure. Many Canadians cynically assume that the breaking of promises by politicians after an election is just as sure. It ought not so to be. But Erin O’Toole, Leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, has astounded small-c conservatives by breaking his promise before a general election!

​On Monday, April 19, the federal Liberals unveiled a budget that showed no attempt to achieve balance or relief for taxpayers. What else could one expect?

Leonard Cohen famously sang “First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin.” The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) could re-write this as “First we take Hong Kong, then we take Taiwan.” The problem is, under today’s leadership, Canada would be singing along.

​When federal and provincial politicians and unelected bureaucrats tell you that “ . . . we’re all in this together,” you have to wonder what they mean by that.

​I remember as a child being told to “Do it or else.” I was never courageous enough to ask what the “or else” option was. As a matter of fact, I didn’t know anyone courageous enough to ask what the second option was. It was in our own best interest to just stay away from the dreaded “or else!’
