Canadian civil rights org fires back at Justin Trudeau over decision to invoke Emergencies Act: 'Threatens our democracy'

[MapleLeaf]

As expected, the Emergency Act passed as the NDP voted with them. They really were in a tough place. With Singh being a lapdog for Trudeau they lost a huge chunk of their base and party financial backing. If they had voted with the will of their voters they would have forced a no-confidence vote (what Trudeau's threat was at his press conference earlier today) and they would have lost a lot. They couldn't afford an election right now and would maybe lose their party status. But, going along with the Liberals they are going to lose the bulk of their remaining supporters. But this way they figure they can at least keep their individual seats, salaries and pensions. I don't agree at all with the NDP party and I do think their philosophy was always leading to this spot but one of their former leaders, Jack Layton, was a proud Canadian and stood by the Charter. There is a reason he brought them to Royal Opposition status for the first and only time.

I am mourning my country. The Conservatives have vowed to fight back. The moment the motion passed, the interim Conservative Leader, Bergen, brought up one of the Emergency Act's motions says that if enough MPs sign a petition they can recall it. But she was instantly interrupted by one of the Liberals who said they agreed to end the session the moment the vote passed and even the Speaker wouldn't let her finish. And now they're giving themselves a week-long vacation. What can be done in that mean time?

George and I were just talking last night about how Jack would NEVER have stood for such a thing. We never vote NDP but we did love Jack as a true and loyal Canadian. That is 100% why the NDP gained so much ground. Now Singh just showed us all where his loyalties lie and it isn't his voter base or Canada and he is unfit to lead anything. I hope he loses every last seat.

Hopefully this will just give more time for the Conservatives under Bergen and Poilievre to reload. Praying. Because she is just interim leader of the Conservatives it's hard for her to do as much, but Pierre Poilievre who cast his hat into the ring on Feb 5 for leader, is showing some promise and between them both maybe something can be done. Praying so but trusting in God for the outcomes, His will not mine.

Pierre's site has a petition going to end the Emergency Act-- I just signed.

While I was praying about this situation last night, 2 verses drifted into my head and wouldn't leave.

1 Thess 5:18 which is written in the context of the Day of the Lord approaching, and enduring evil times. Paul writes:
18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Romans 8:28 which occurs in the context of enduring suffering (the passage 18-30 talks of moving from suffering to glory and talks of waiting with perseverance, and how the Spirit prays and makes intercession for us)
28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

It just kept coming back to me, in EVERYTHING, ALL THINGS. God knows. He keeps accounts.

Even this will work together for good to us who love God and are called according to His purpose. We can still give thanks, knowing that even when things are going from bad to worse, that God is using this to save a bunch of people not all of whom are truckers, and the time is short.

Then this morning one of the elders was asked to lead the service as our pastor is still recovering from a heart procedure and the attack that preceded it.

He read the entire book of 1 Peter from beginning to end and it felt so encouraging and so like Peter was talking directly about this. As a sermon, it was wonderful. I was so grateful to hear it. Our little church supports the truckers and the cause of freedom and prays accordingly and he was feeling so grieved as he prepared for Sunday. He kept feeling the Lord nudging him to just read 1Peter aloud.

It was wonderful.

I share that hoping that those of you who felt disheartened by all the wickedness in Ottawa will be comforted by God's Word, His exceedingly great and precious promises as 2Peter 1: 4 calls them.

1 Simon Peter, a bondservant and apostle of Jesus Christ,

To those who have obtained like precious faith with us by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:

2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, 3 as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, 4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

God bless you sister. Everything always looks better when we remember Who God Is. God will never fail! God loves when we give Him Glory and remember that with Him all things are possible and we can rest on His promises. Praying for Canadians and all who love freedom and recognize our freedoms come from God.

Here's the latest message to Andrea and me from the pastor's wife who lives just outside of Ottawa and ministered alongside her husband to the truckers and their supporters. She and her husband Terry are the real deal: true ministers of Jesus Christ.

Hi there…just wanted to keep you and Andrea up to date even though I am sure you are keeping an eye on the news.

The house passed the motion but sounds like senate review is tomorrow and has to pass there too if it is to be allowed. Most believe it will pass through. Trudeau wants this power for 30 days and then will want to extend it of course.

We have been in prayer about it all with our group and some friends. We know it could very well mean the end of democracy here as we have known it. I do think it has been eroding away for years, even decades, and many are waking up to it now.

Truckers and donators to the truckers fund are having their personal bank accounts frozen and some have been arrested. Just the same, spirits are high and they are working at their next plan and ways to get the raised funds into the hands of these courageous men and women.

As we talked with our friends tonight, we know that we could get a small reprieve but that eventually there will be a one world totalitarian government as the Bible says. We see all the pieces of the puzzle coming together to form the end times scenario spoken about, along with the degrading conditions of the world and society and the falling away of the church.

Regardless of the outcome of the vote, we told our faithful little group that our focus has to be on evangelism and not hoping that some political change will solve things and put us back to the normal we once knew. That will likely not happen as we are too far down the prophetic road and too far into the evil agenda for that to happen. Although we do hope and pray for righteous government that honours God, if that doesn’t happen we still have to keep our joy and peace and maintain the course set before us.
I keep reminding myself we aren’t losing the war, just a few battles along the way!!

Thank you for your prayers. God bless and talk soon.

Lorraine
P.S. Please pray for us to have wisdom about decisions we have to make. If things turn really bad here we need to know what God wants us to do. We have family and friends here and our young believers, so I don’t want to abandon them. Perhaps we can take them all with us or perhaps we are to stay here. Best scenario would be that the sky opens, the trumpet sounds and we are all out of here together!!! Xoxox

Father God, please incline your ear to your faithful servants, your children, who have been faced with a tremendous trial before them. But God, You remain in control, as Always. Help our sister Lorraine and all who are being affected by this oppression, the atrocity of being stripped of their freedoms and to remain in Your strength to endure while taking a stand for righteousness and above all for the freedom to be the Ambassadors of Christ they have been commissioned to be, and continue to speak the gospel lest the stones will cry out. Maranatha! Lord Jesus come quickly. In Jesus name I pray and let God's people say Amen!

Ottawa would be Ground Zero for the Church so to speak.

 

[Amethyst]

I do think it has been eroding away for years, even decades, and many are waking up to it now.

This is what irritates me the most about the US as well. Yea, better late than never, but it's so disheartening that it takes people seeing others beaten and thrown in prison to realize theyre under attack. And that still doesn't mean they will acknowledge Christ either.

Regardless of the outcome of the vote, we told our faithful little group that our focus has to be on evangelism and not hoping that some political change will solve things and put us back to the normal we once knew.

Apparently, there is now a gunman running around the Rideau Mall in downtown Ottawa. And it's being used to blame the convoy movement. Yet, how did a gunman get through all of those police checks?

Those in power no longer feel the need to keep up the veneer of democracy.
Because of the lateness of the hour we must realize these are the governments of the Tribulation.

Those in power like to control others in their way of thinking which is worldly. They are controlled by an evil spirit.

I think I need to go and listen to some Fred Penner. My kids like "The Cat Came Back" and "Never Smile at a Crocodile". Another bit of Canadiana that I like is "The Log Driver's Waltz". I don't know what I am, and am not, allowed to link to when it comes to YouTube videos but people should look those up. Oh! And "The Man on the Moon is Newfie" by Stompin' Tom Connors. I just want to remember what I love about my country. Mourn a little. Laugh too.

Singh is on the list of World Economic Forum "young leaders". He is a globalist.

Poilievre is a true Canadian and so is Bergen but she has been hemmed in, as the Liberals take advantage of PC weakness at the moment. Poilievre needs to be the next leader of the PCs as the party rebuilds its strength along with Bergen. At the moment, the Liberals dominate the media and they are repeating a great many lies. Even some who claim to be PC are either a) ignorant of the facts or b) part of the Liberal dominated establishment.

An event planned to inflame public sentiment against any protest.

One more thing to look up is Lorne Elliot "I Like You". I first heard it on the CBC radio years and years ago in the car with my mom. We had laughed so hard the tears were running down our face. It's a comedy song but there's no naughty words or bits.
