I needed to move a sofa.
I mentioned this to an American. He said, "You know anybody with a truck?"
I did not know anybody with a truck.
He looked at me with real concern. Not pity. Concern. The way you look at a man who has told you he does not have a name.
"You gotta know somebody with a truck."
I asked how one acquires such a person.
He said, "You just do."
This is the third time I have received that answer in this country. It is the answer to everything here. You just do. There is no process. There is only the eventual fact of having.
He said, "Ask Kevin."
I do not know a Kevin. He said Kevin like I should. He said it the way you say a shared uncle.
I met Kevin four days later. Kevin owns a truck. Kevin does not own a truck for himself. Nobody owns a truck for themselves. Kevin owns a truck for a fifteen mile radius.
Inside I said: THIS MAN HAS TAKEN A VOW. HE DID NOT ANNOUNCE IT. HE SIMPLY PURCHASED A BED AND ACCEPTED THE CONSEQUENCES.
Kevin arrived on Saturday. He brought the truck. He also brought a second man.
I had not asked for a second man.
The second man's name is Tony. Tony came because Kevin came. Tony did not know me. Tony did not ask what we were moving. Tony brought gloves.
They moved the sofa in eleven minutes.
I offered them money. Both of them laughed at the same time, which felt rehearsed and was not.
I asked what I owed them.
Kevin said, "Buy the pizza."
That is the price. That is the entire economy. The truck costs one pizza and the pizza is not negotiable and the pizza is also not expensive and everyone knows what size.
Inside I said: THE FEE IS FIXED ACROSS THE ENTIRE NATION AND WAS SET BY NO ONE.
We ate on the floor because the sofa was against the wall and none of us wanted to be the first to sit on it.
Tony told me his daughter plays soccer. I asked if she is good. He said, "She's aggressive."
I still think about that.
Three weeks later, Kevin texted me.
"You free Sunday? Helping Tony move a fridge."
He did not ask if I wanted to. He informed me of a fridge.
Inside I said: I HAVE BEEN CALLED UP. I DID NOT ENLIST. THE PAPERS WERE FILED ON MY BEHALF.
I went. I moved the fridge. I have no truck. I contributed only arms.
Afterward, a man I had never met asked me if I knew anybody with a truck.
I said, "Yeah, I got a guy."
I have a guy.
I am somebody's guy now, too. Tony has told two people about me.
He describes me as "the guy who's strong for his size."
I have never been prouder of a sentence in my life.
Oxford professor John Lennox on testing the reality of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ:
"Now, my final point is this. I'm a scientist of sorts, and people say to me, 'Come on. You can't believe this stuff.' Because in science and practical science you do experiments. You test your hypothesis. Christianity is not testable. Isn't it? Isn't it?
You see, the difference between the two last things I read were the difference between seeing something, those grave cloths, and working out an intellectual conclusion that something utterly remarkable has happened. That's not quite the same thing as meeting the risen Jesus. And you see, ladies and gentlemen, if it is true that Jesus rose from the dead, then He's still alive, and it's possible to meet Him.
Now, you can do an experiment, and it's this—this Jesus who claims to be risen tells us that if we're prepared to trust Him, repent of the mess we've made of our own lives, and the lives of other people, and we're prepared to receive Him as Lord and Controller of life as the risen Son of God, then He will give us forgiveness. Does the word forgiveness mean anything to you? He'll give us new life and a new power...
Now, ladies and gentlemen, this is the test...When you see people with narcotic or alcohol dependence, and they've no food to put on the table in front of their children, and you meet them then a year later, and something has happened. You say, 'What's happened to you?' and they say something like, 'Well, I met Jesus,' or 'I became a Christian,' or they'll put it different ways. When you see that again and again, you add two and two to get four.
I wouldn't sit here for a nanosecond if I didn't believe that not only is the resurrection of Jesus intellectually credible, but I believe it's existentially credible because the center part of my life and that of my wife and family is to walk with Him from day to day. Now, that may sound absolute jargon and mumbo-jumbo to you, but we're living in a universe where we discover that we are persons, and every analogy we know tells us that our origin cannot be sub-personal. It's supra-personal. And if we enjoy human friendship, what a magnificent thing it is if God makes a way where we can through faith in Christ become His sons and daughters and enjoy the biggest friendship and the most exciting friendship in the universe, and that is friendship with the risen Christ."
Something happens to a lot of people when they go down the rabbit hole of investigating the global elite.
If they go too deep, they stop.
And literally turn to Christ.
🚨 'I want to warn you, Mr. Speaker… I may read today from a very dangerous book.'
That book? The Bible. A book the government now wants to treat as hate speech. Watch my full speech on Bill C-9 here. 👇
Etched into the very rock of Centre Block, just steps from the House of Commons, are more than two dozen Scriptures. Our national motto 'From Sea to Sea' comes straight from Psalms.
How can a nation literally carved from biblical truths now seek to criminalize those truths through Bill C-9?
In this full speech, I expose how the Liberals' Faustian bargain with the Bloc removes long-standing good-faith protections for sincere religious expression, ignores centuries of Western commitment to fearless speech, and replaces debate with 'just trust us.'
The antidote to hatred is not censorship. It is more speech. More truth. More freedom.
Freedom is the sure possession of those alone who have the courage to defend it. Will you defend it?
DOUBLE BLOW TO TYRANNY: Freedom Strikes Back HARD With Two MASSIVE WINS!!
The COVID tyranny is crumbling as courts are finally pushing back against the mandates and censorship!
In BC, a university student's 2020 private chat video questioning the plandemic agenda was hit with a hate speech complaint over passing mentions of China. The BC Human Rights Tribunal just ruled that it was NOT hate speech and that offensiveness ≠ discrimination.
They can't silence you for asking questions anymore!
Meanwhile, Air Canada pilots who refused the shots on sincere religious grounds were denied exemptions and sidelined. The arbitrator ruled that this amounts to religious discrimination and compensation has been ordered!
Faith still matters and your beliefs aren't disposable!
In this video Dan Dicks of Press For Truth delivers the good news that the truth is winning and the truth will set us free!
Yes it is and @MaximeBernier told you this when running for the CPC leadership but the Dairy Cartel would have none of it and in my option stole the leadership from Max to place the milk drinking cartel puppet Scherer instead.
@CanadianPolling@MaximeBernier actually, the only guy with a sound plan for Canadians that will save our culture and our economy. https://t.co/82J5aoSFbr
Big WIN for freedom today! The Federal Court of Appeal just confirmed what I've said since Day 1: Trudeau's invocation of the Emergencies Act against peaceful Freedom Convoy truckers was ILLEGAL, UNCONSTITUTIONAL and a tyrannical abuse of power.
@prayingmedic@ReddeKat With due respect God has much to say about Canada’s future. Our ally USA will play a part in this but Canada 🇨🇦 has its own destiny ✝️🔥
The principle behind Trump's play for Greenland also applies to Canada. 🇨🇦
He intends to bring Canada under US control, and he already explained how it will happen.
Economic Leverage.
He knows Canada's leaders will destroy their economy, so he's waiting for the right time to make his pitch to the citizens of Canada.
Thanks for the full context. The interview confirms Bernier's 2008 Davos presence was for ministerial talks on Afghanistan aid, not WEF events—he registered for access but skipped sessions. He rejects WEF views today. The CPC's edit highlights attendance without this nuance. If you have the "missing video" details mentioned, I can dig deeper!
A vigil for jailed Canadian Pastor Derek Reimer at the Calgary Remand Center.
With minutes of people arriving, correctional officers came out to read the riot act.
Multiple Calgary Police units are now on scene, more to come.
🚨Tommy Robinson acquitted of all charges under the Terrorism Act.
The judge was blistering in his criticism of the police, saying their testimony lacked “credibility” and that they had in fact targeted Tommy for political reasons, which is illegal.
Incredible outcome.
Hey, as you know @jordanbpeterson has been really sick. A lot of people have been asking for updates so here’s one. He’s recovering slowly day by day but I won't lie, it's slow and scary. He won't be back for another few months at least, probably longer. We’re not entirely sure what’s going on but it looks like possibly severe CIRS and a LOT of bad luck. Or we’re getting spiritually attacked. Or both.
To be perfectly honest, I think a lot of this is spiritual. My newborn Audrey almost died of heart failure for no reason in June, dad got sick and came to stay with us in July, then needed a hospital and the same day he went to the hospital by ambulance, my newborn turned blue (again) at home for a different reason not heart related and went a different hospital by ambulance.
Within 3 hours of each other.
It's been one thing after another in an otherworldly type of way.
In the meantime, we'll be going full force with @petersonacademy, and keeping his message across his brand alive while he recovers. Not letting demons get in the way of that.
Prayers are MUCH appreciated.
