Pope Leo XIV encourages young people to marry and create families:
"Marriage is also a vocation. Do not be afraid of marriage and of forming a family."
Last night, I read the entirety of C.S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters. It's a novel told in the form of letters written by a demon to another demon instructing him on ways to manipulate his "patient" to do evil.
This one quote sounded familiar.
As your newly elected Leader of the BC Conservative Party, I bring senior-level experience that will serve every family in our province.
I served as a Cabinet Minister in Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s government, where I helped deliver lower taxes, cut red tape, and return the country to a surplus after the worst recession in decades. That experience taught me how to manage government responsibly and put people first.
I was appointed Chief Opposition Whip by Pierre Poilievre, the first woman to hold the position. In that role I was responsible for uniting and leading a large national caucus with discipline and focus.
I am also a King’s Counsel, an honour that reflects decades of legal expertise and a deep commitment to the rule of law and property rights.
As a senior lawyer I have spent decades defending the rule of law and property rights. In the late 1990s, as a young widow with small children, I bought a leasehold property on Musqueam land in South Vancouver. When the Musqueam First Nation sued the homeowners, I helped lead our legal team through a long and costly battle that went all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada. We won that case in 2000 and protected the property rights and equity of those families. That experience taught me firsthand how critical it is to defend fee-simple ownership and certainty for every British Columbian.
These roles have prepared me to lead with seriousness, competence, and results. While the NDP under David Eby has delivered economic vandalism, growing debt, failing services, and chaos, I am ready to restore competent, principled government that works for British Columbians.
Together we will unite our party and build a stronger, more prosperous British Columbia.
St. John Bosco had a dream that explains why most men can't beat lust.
He saw a meadow full of boys playing.
In the middle of the meadow — a pit.
At the bottom of the pit — a yellow-spotted serpent. Massive. Coiled. Waiting.
The boys kept jumping over it.
The younger ones cleared it easily.
The older ones — heavier, clumsier — kept landing on the edge.
And every time they did, the serpent struck. Foot. Leg. Heart.
Bosco asked them: "Why do you keep jumping?"
Their answer: "We're just not very good at it."
He asked: "Then why jump at all?"
"We couldn't help it. We didn't think it was so risky."
St. Jerome tells us what the pit is.
The pit is the demon of impurity into which most men fall.
And here's the thing about this serpent —
He's chained.
He can't climb out.
He can only strike when you come within range.
This is what most men miss.
You don't beat lust by fighting harder at the edge of the pit.
You beat it by never walking near it.
St. Paul didn't say *fight* fornication.
He said **flee** it.
St. Thomas More said it plainly: "A man ought not go where he is tempted."
But most Catholic men are praying: "Lord, grant me chastity…"
…while keeping Instagram.
…while keeping the group chat.
…while keeping Tinder on the phone.
That's not chastity. That's tempting the Lord.
You want to win? Stop jumping over the pit.
Be ruthless. Be surgical. Cut every near occasion of sin out of your life.
Your phone. Your apps. Your friends. Your feed. Your walls.
Everything around you is either leading you to God or to hell.
There is no neutral ground.
And if you're a husband and father — this isn't just about you anymore.
What enters your children's eyes enters their imagination.
What enters their imagination stays in their memory.
Possibly for the rest of their lives.
Guard the gates.

It takes 30 seconds.
Show up and I'll see you there.
In an ancient little church on the outskirts of Paris, a Korean woman is leading the faithful in song at every Mass.
She is helping the Church re-establish its dominance in beauty, transcendence, and hymnography.
This is Catholic beauty. This is what the Kyrie should sound like!
🚨 Another top Canadian doctor just ditched a major Toronto hospital for Texas.
Higher salary.
Way lower taxes.
Homes he can actually afford.
The numbers are brutal:
•Ontario surgeon: ~$395K CAD gross → only ~$260K net after Trudeau’s tax hammer.
•Texas: $428K USD gross → ~$300K USD net (no state income tax).
•Housing: Texas ~$300-350K USD vs. $850K+ in Ontario.
This isn’t one guy chasing a dream, he’s exited a tax to poverty Country!
This is the brain drain on steroids — our best doctors are voting with their feet because Canada taxes and prices them out.
High taxes, insane cost of living, collapsing healthcare.
When are we going to wake up and stop the bleed?

Chief Billy Morin "What we're protecting, resisting is turning Canada into an Indian Reserve."
"..And this is because it's systematically made to be dependent on them to wave their cool flag or their announcement and nothing actually really changes."
"Well, we just want to feed our own kids. We don't want you to feed our kids."
"And that aligns with how I led my nation as well... I just want to stand on my own two feet." 💥

Meet the woman turning just 3 rabbits into 250+ lbs of delicious meat for her freezer every single year. 🐰🍖 🤯
Starting with 2 does and 1 buck, she breeds them for litters of 8–13 kits that reach processing size in just 12 weeks—each yielding about 3 lbs of mild, chicken-like meat. Low space, high reward, and surprisingly easy on a homestead.
Rabbits: cute to look at… or incredibly efficient protein? Would you raise and harvest your own meat rabbits? 🤔 🐇
A 79-year-old Catholic priest, Fr. Larry Holland, who is recovering from a hip fracture at Vancouver General Hospital in Canada, said he was offered Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) twice by hospital staff, even though he made clear he is a Catholic priest and morally opposed to euthanasia.

Every once in a while, a ewe will give birth to a lamb and reject it. There are many reasons she may do this. If the lamb is returned to the ewe, the mother may even kick the poor animal away. Once a ewe rejects one of her lambs, she will never change her mind. These little lambs will hang their heads so low that it looks like something is wrong with its neck. Their spirit is broken. These lambs are called “bummer lambs.” Unless the Shepherd intervenes, that lamb will die, rejected and alone. So, do you know what the Shepherd does? He takes that rejected little one into His home, hand-feeds it and keeps it warm by the fire. He will wrap it up with blankets and hold it to His chest so the bummer can hear His heartbeat. Once the lamb is strong enough, the Shepherd will place it back in the field with the rest of the flock. But that sheep never forgets how the Shepherd cared for him when his mother rejected him. When the Shepherd calls for the flock, guess who runs to Him first? That is right, the bummer sheep. He knows His voice intimately. It is not that the bummer lamb is loved more, it just knows intimately the One who loves it and has experienced that love one on one. So many of us are bummer lambs, rejected and broken. But He is the good Shepherd. He cares for our every need and holds us close to His heart so we can hear His heartbeat. I am a bummer lamb adopted and loved by The Good Shepherd!! Hallelujah!!
Please pray for the Catholic hostages kidnapped by islamist terrorists in Nigeria
As their ransom demands have not been met, the terrorists have begun to execute women and children
No coverage in western media
Please RT so that the world knows about the inhuman crimes committed in Nigeria with the compliance of western politicians, religious leaders and media
What an incredible moment. This 10 year-old boy wants to be a priest when he grows up. @MattWalshBlog asks him why, and here was his answer:
“Because God is calling me.”
Perfect answer. God bless this young man.

Tucker Carlson is more popular now than he has ever been.
Don’t believe anyone that says otherwise.
“Most people think Easter is just one day. But the Catholic Church celebrates it for 50 days. Because the Resurrection was never meant to be a moment—but a season of victory…”
I have waited and watched, and in the silence, I have dared to speak, boldly and unashamedly…but as a Bishop, I must once again dare to speak...
An Open Letter To The People Of The United Kingdom
My Fellow Countrymen,
Our government has failed to protect our Christian heritage.
The Church, in many quarters, has failed to defend the truth entrusted to her.
And His Majesty the King has not responded to the plea that was set before him.
So now, I write to you.
Not as one seeking controversy, but as one compelled by conscience. Not as a voice of despair, but as a watchman who sees the hour and refuses to remain silent while the foundations tremble beneath our feet.
Many of you will have seen the public conversation that has followed my letter to the Crown. You will have read the reactions, the affirmations, the criticisms, the dismissals. All of this was to be expected. For whenever truth presses upon a nation, it will always be met with both recognition and resistance.
But beneath the noise, something deeper is stirring.
A question. A question that will not go away.
What is happening to Britain?
And perhaps more importantly:
What are we prepared to do about it?
For we must speak plainly, without evasion and without ornament.
This is not merely a political moment.
It is not merely a cultural shift.
It is not merely the passing of one age into another.
It is a crisis of foundations!
For centuries, the Christian faith was not peripheral to British life. It was central. It shaped our laws, informed our liberties, restrained the abuse of power, dignified the individual, and gave this nation a moral architecture that endured through war, upheaval, and change.
It made Britain, Great Britain.
Not because we were perfect, but because we were anchored.
Anchored in something higher than ourselves.
Anchored in truth.
And now, that anchor is being cast aside.
We see it in the public square, where Christian belief is increasingly treated as something to be tolerated only when it is silent. We see it in our institutions, where the moral language that once shaped them is being systematically redefined.
We see it within parts of the Church itself, where the call to holiness is softened, and the demands of the age are too often given greater weight than the Word of God.
And we are told that this is progress.
It is not progress. It is decline!
A nation does not become stronger by forgetting what made it strong. A civilisation does not advance by severing itself from the truths that formed it. A people do not become freer by abandoning the moral vision that gave their freedom meaning.
And yet, this is precisely what is being asked of us.
Quietly. Gradually. Persistently.
To forget.
To yield.
To adapt.
To conform.
Until at last, we no longer recognise the nation we have become.
But hear this clearly:
It does not have to be so.
Decline is not inevitable.
Collapse is not preordained.
But renewal will not come from those who bend.
It will come from those who stand.
From those who refuse to bow to the spirit of the age.
From those who will not call falsehood truth, nor truth falsehood.
From those who understand that inheritance is not preserved by sentiment, but by conviction.
And so I say to you, my fellow countrymen:
If you have looked at this nation and felt that something is wrong, you are not mistaken.
If you have sensed that we are losing something deeper than politics, you are not imagining it.
If you have wondered whether anyone will stand, the answer is this:
That responsibility now rests with us.
Not with government alone.
Not with institutions alone.
Not even with the Crown alone.
But with the people.
With you!
For a civilisation is not defended by titles, but by truth lived and upheld in the lives of ordinary men and women.
So this is the call.
Not to anger, but to action.
Not to panic, but to purpose.
Not to nostalgia, but to renewal.
Repent where we have wandered. For we have wandered.
We have tolerated what should have been resisted.
We have been silent where we should have spoken.
We have allowed the slow erosion of truth in exchange for the comfort of peace.
And now we must return.
Return to the faith that formed us.
Return to the truth that anchored us.
Return to the moral vision that made this nation what it was.
And having returned, we must stand.
Stand in your homes, and teach your children what is true, even when the world says otherwise.
Stand in your churches, and demand the Gospel in its fullness, not a diluted echo of the age.
Stand in your communities, and live with a conviction that cannot be reshaped by passing opinion.
Stand in the public square, and speak without fear.
Stand, because if you do not, others will shape this nation in your place.
Stand, because if you surrender your inheritance, it will not be returned to you.
Stand, because the future of this country will not be decided by those who compromise, but by those who hold fast.
And let us speak without hesitation of what is at stake.
If we fail to defend our Christian heritage, our culture, and our traditions, we will not inherit a neutral Britain.
We will inherit a Britain unmoored from truth, reshaped by forces that neither understand nor honour what made this nation strong.
But if we stand… if we remember… if we repent and renew…
Then Britain may yet be great again.
Not by returning to the past in form, but by returning to its foundations in truth.
A Great Britain worthy of its history.
A Great Britain capable of its future.
A Great Britain rooted once more in the faith that gave it life.
History is watching.
More importantly, God is not indifferent.
And this generation will answer for what it did when the foundations were shaken.
Whether we stood…
Or whether we bent.
Whether we remembered…
Or whether we forgot.
So I say to you now, with all the clarity and urgency this hour demands:
Do not bend.
Do not yield.
Do not surrender.
Repent.
Return.
Rebuild.
And stand firm for the faith that made this nation.
May Almighty God grant us courage in this hour, repentance in our hearts, and renewal in this land.
Yours in faithful service,
Bishop Ceirion H. Dewar FSHC
