Canadians did not appear out of thin air. The oldest European settlements in what is now Canada are centuries old: St. John’s was established in 1582, Acadia in 1604, Port Royal in 1605, Quebec City in 1608, Montreal in 1642, and Halifax in 1749. We’ve been here for a very long time.
The first wave of French settlers, including the Filles du Roy and the Carignan-Salières Regiment, settled along the St. Lawrence and grew the colony largely through extraordinarily high birth rates. French Canadians today descend from a relatively small founding population, and over the next two centuries only about 10,000 additional immigrants arrived. French Canada was built primarily by the descendants of its own founders.
The same is mostly true of Anglo-Canada. After the British conquest and the arrival of the Loyalists, Anglo-Canadians cleared the land, built the towns and cities, founded institutions, and populated the country. Their numbers grew through high birth rates and were reinforced by settlers from closely related populations who assimilated into an already existing Anglo-Canadian society rooted in the aftermath of the American Revolution.
So no, Canadians are not just Europeans who happen to live in North America. Our ancestors came from Europe, but Canadians themselves were largely born here, and have been for generations upon generations.
Acknowledging that fact does not mean rejecting our place within Western civilization. It means recognizing that Canadians are a distinct people who developed in North America over centuries, not a transplanted population with no roots of its own.
God will bring judgement upon you and upon this land if you continue to spit in His face and call good what is evil.
This country was founded as a nation in Covenant with Jesus Christ, the first man in your office said "All Canadians are Christians" and acknowledged that we should look to God for what is good and what is evil. Bring Canada back to what it was created as, and stop mocking the God who owns this country.

This is what we need to understand in our country. Corporations control the nation.
Why does the Bible spend so much time on genealogies?
Because who your people are matters.
We are not detached individuals floating through history. We are sons and daughters, fathers and mothers, members of families, churches, and nations. @kangminlee
@DanielTyrie@UCCavalier It seems like there is one simple rule: We can't be right. So if that means that they need to put words in our mouths in order to shut us up and put us away they will do so.
This is so important. It wasn't until going to a Naturopath that I found out that I've been feeding a Candida Fungus in my gut for years giving me huge sugar cravings and causing all sorts of other junk to happen to my body. Getting some help in that one area has helped me immediately lose weight and feel better.
Men need to take care of their health and they need to not be too proud to go see a Naturopath or a Functional Medicine Practicioner. Someone who can actually help them. Its worth the time, and its worth the money.
Gentlemen,
Not every besetting sin in your life is purely a spiritual problem.
The sin is real. Repentance is necessary. But sometimes your body is making the battle harder than it has to be.
Do you battle with anger?
It may be sin.
It may also be sleep apnea.
Do you battle with lethargy?
It may be slothfulness.
It may also be low testosterone.
Do you battle with anxiety?
It may be sinful fear.
It may also be poor sleep, a bad diet, too much caffeine or nicotine, or a nervous system that has been running on fumes for years.
The point is not to excuse sin.
The point is to stop pretending that men are disembodied souls.
You are body and soul. And sometimes the body is dragging the soul into a fight it is too exhausted to win.
Over the last eight years, I have spoken with countless men who were fighting difficult besetting sins they could not seem to overcome.
I have seen men who regularly flew into rages so intense they seemed ready to give themselves a stroke.
The issue was solved with a CPAP machine.
I have seen men who wanted to be hard workers, but could barely drag themselves out of bed.
This was solved when they found that they had low testosterone.
I have seen men with severe brain fog that made them poor fathers, husbands, and businessmen.
This was solved when they discovered that the issue was mitochondrial dysfunction, systemic inflammation, or other underlying health problems.
Many of these men were able to identify the issue with something as simple as a blood panel or a sleep study.
Many were able to improve dramatically with a CPAP, a few peptides, dietary changes, better sleep discipline, or other targeted interventions.
Again, this does not excuse sin.
It simply means that some men are trying to fight spiritual battles while their bodies are collapsing underneath them.
Repent of your sin.
But also get your bloodwork done. Fix your sleep. Clean up your diet. Take your body seriously.
You are not a ghost.
You are a man made of body and soul.
@TheJollyBrawler I am taking a set of medications called Candaclear, its a set of attackers against the fungus and a probiotic to help the gut recover. That and not eating any sugars or simple carbs or wheat while I take the pills.
Absolutely true. Thankfully they don't get their way anymore, and they can either find unity with the actual right, or leave and let someone else who is ready to be united come on in.
I see the liberals in the BC Tory coalition are already campaigning against the party. Unity is the most important thing to them until the second they are not in charge.
I am reminded of the Byzantine vendus and their "Better the Infidel than the Pope" slogan of the 1450s.
@CalvinMacNeil 'Aah Racist! Aah Trump!' These kinds of lame attacks don't work anymore. Call us whatever you want, we don't care what names you call us any longer.
@NewWestTimes@KerryLynneFindl@Conservative_BC Thank the Lord we no longer are going for most woke. This is just the beginning of a change across this country where the right can stop being so afraid of what the left thinks of them and can start just saying and doing the right things on principle.
@RobShaw_BC@BCNDPCaucus What BS! Every time a liberal or NDP in this country is afraid of losing right now they just throw out 'They're being like Trump! They love Trump!' It's just a cowardly deflection so that they can ignore the actual things that Canadians want fixed.
