It used to be called Dominion Day. It’s now called Canada Day. And without a doubt, they’ll change the name a few more times. And that’s entirely up to them. When I think about Oh Canada, one could be a triumphal patriotic Oh Canada. But in my heart and my soul, it’s not a patriotic … patriotic terminology that I use. But it’s a lament.
Oh, Canada, where are you going?
Oh, leadership of Canada, where are you taking us?
I’ve endeavored to make a promise to myself. I uttered it to my wife and she was relieved to hear this. She’s going to try and hold me to it. I don’t want to be a negative person. I don’t want, when you meet me and say, Pastor, how do you do? I don’t want to be the person that says, have you turd what they’re doing now? I don’t want to be that person.
I don’t want to live down in the caves. I don’t want to live in the trenches. I want to be buoyant in my heart and in my spirit. I was with somebody very recently. And they said, you know, we’ve got to do everything that we can to get ready. And when someone says, what are we getting ready for, it’s a huge landscape. There are people who believe that there’s going to be a shortage of food. And scientists have warned us of the same.
While the G7 countries are telling the farmers to stop producing the kind of food that we’ve enjoyed for so long. See, one department of the government saying, look out. Trouble’s coming. We’re going to run short of food. We’ve got another department says, you’ve had enough food. They want to get rid of chickens. Chickens are filling the air with gas. I can’t even imagine that. But they want to get rid of the chickens, especially the ones that only have lips. They want to get rid of the chickens. And they’re going to manufacture chicken meat. Ha ha. You’ll never know the difference. I know the difference already. If there’s no feathers in it, I don’t want it.
There’s challenges every which where. I’m no longer called a man in this country. You’re no longer called a woman. We’re told our children don’t belong to us. They belong to the government. We’re told we’re not allowed to teach our children. Our morals, our code. In fact, there is no code. Everything is in a sense of abyss. That’s enough negativity, David. Tell us something to get happy over. I listened to a lengthy interview just hours ago. I won’t take the time to bore you with who it was. It’s an individual who’s a Canadian that I follow very closely.
And this man is a brilliant, brilliant scholarly fellow. And he’s taking on the government. He took on the universities. He’s got a huge following. And they are probably going to take him down off of YouTube because he argues against the government. And that’s not allowed. You’re not allowed to think. You’re not allowed to have an opinion. But as I listened to this fellow, he had an astute Christian brother on there, who never mentioned what church he’s from. But this fellow has written a 600-page book about Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
If you don’t know who Dietrich Bonhoeffer was, he was a scholarly pastor, a true study of the Word of God. And he saw trouble coming as a result of the Third Reich. He was a predominant pastor. And he tried to warn the church. He told the church. And this book is about this. He tried to warn the church. And he said, out of fear for Hitler and his regime, you’ve gone silent. And you are complacent. And you are cooperating… (more in the video)
