Commentary

Canadians marked July 1^st in a variety of ways.

When Canada’s Parliament employs a procedure that it rarely uses, and in a way that it has not done in over 100 years, it raises questions.

Early in my involvement with CHP Canada, twelve years ago, I included in my e-mail signature: 2 Corinthians 10:5...

CHP Canada has long stood for requiring judges to judge miscreants on the laws “as they were written.” But now, we have to question the laws “as they are being written.”

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.

​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! Long live the queen!” The continuity of the royal family and thus Great Britain, Northern Ireland and the Commonwealth, was assured in that announcement, reassuring the citizens of those countries.

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!
