It’s hard to know what’s more disheartening, cops shutting down a church for daring to meet or the fear-mongering scolds cheering it on. Worse, this is the second time in mere days that Canadian cops have attempted to intimidate a church for daring to meet with social distancing. At dawn on Wednesday morning in Edmonton, Alberta – in an area that looks like it’s the middle of a prairie – Alberta Health Services police and cops with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) swarmed the GraceLife Church to cut off the building from its parishioners.
Police and crews arrived at oh-dark-30

Canada is about a sad and totalitarian as Britain.

I had always imagined Alberta to be the most freedom-loving of the provinces. I guess I misjudged it in the same way I misjudged Alaska and Utah.

Like the Brits, Canadians are not citizens. They are subjects. At least we are a little freer than that for now.

Oh, Canada!
The world wide persecution of Christians is real and it is not just in totalitarian countries. It is coming to a community near you if this does not stop. Clearly, radical leftists have no respect for God of those who worship Him. In fact, they are trying to silence any Christian pastor who dares defy them either in message or actions. Thankfully, we are not quite there yet but it is coming and is definitely on their wicked To Do List.
What concerns me are the law enforcement officers who enforce what they know is wrong and would be unconstitutional here. I wonder just how many Patriots we have serving and how many willing ideologues are on the force and are willing to do whatever is asked of them. There was a time in this country when churches were sacrosanct and law enforcement would not think of preventing people from worshiping. Sadly, I believe those days are gone, but this, like gun confiscation is one of the two hot button issues that would result in rebellion. Americans will not give up their First and Second Amendment rights without serious pushback which I believe is right around the corner if Daft King Biden has his way. They are coming after our churches and guns.

American Christians, Jews and those who practice other world faiths have become complacent with our religious freedom. Many of our fellow citizens have forgotten the great blessings of God's freedom. The hypocrisy that is the most stunning is the marauders complaint that religion is too restrictive, has too many rules that deny "self expression", when it is the totalitarian Left preaching total license in real morality but make up for it with limiting all normal human activity.
However, history proves that when religion is suppressed, especially Christianity, people seek out the solace of God. The radicalized forces of evil think they are setting out to eradicate God from society when, in fact, they are launching the second Great Awakening in our nation's history. We're in for some rocky times and for believers we know on which Rock to cling.
Pray responsibly, my friends. (Hat Tip to the Most Exciting Man in the World.)

It sure appears that we are living in the end times. There is a certain amount of subtlety in how this is all happening which will catch most people off guard. It has become apparent that most of our elected officials don't believe in God so they use this Chinese virus as an excuse to take away rights that otherwise would have been unthinkable. The whole equality act that the dems are trying to pass is another tool to outlaw religious freedom in this country and when America has been destroyed from within the whole world will feel the pain. I do believe that the real person running this country ( Obama ) couldn't be happier with the progress with which he is bringing about the fundamental change of this country or as some elites call the great reset. When their bubble pops they will be horrified that there is indeed a God.

If Christianity endured and survived the mighty Roman legions, it can survive the lame lefty legions, including the LGBTQWXYZ plumbing-confused legions.

Now it becomes clearer why so many hollywood Marxists threatened to move to Canada if Trump was elected President. He was but unfortunately they didn't. But Canada is not a freedom loving country. It's kind of like Oregon - small overall population (about 37 million) with a very small group of elitists in Toronto and Montreal lording it over the sparsely populated western provinces, much like the Marxists in Portland lord it over the sparsely populated eastern part of the state. And there is nothing to like about Canada; not only is it cold, but it's an authoritarian state.

There are multiple states in the U.S. that would do this tomorrow, if they thought they could get away with it.
Florida and Texas are safe, how about your state? Voting mattered (past tense)!

If you think it can’t happen here, think back to last summer and the burning of the historic St. John’s Church across the street from the White House. No, it was not shut down over covid. It was burned down by Antifa and BLM thugs who never paid a nano-second or a penny of price for their felony. And its gutted remains were used to attack President Trump by the evil left and the evil enemedia. If that isn’t a clear sign that our religious freedom is in danger here, I don’t know what is.

Phone call yesterday from daughter, who lives in Toronto. They are on full lockdown again. We haven't seen her since January, 2020.
And that's a shame.

FTA: One wonders if they’d say (shut down the church) such a thing about a Black Lives Matter march or antifa protest.
No. One doesn't.

I lived in Canada for a time... it was difficult for me... an American... to understand why the Canadians were so timid with their authority... when I crossed my arms and said..."oh yeah.. says who"... they would marvel at my attitude...they would say..."you're tough"... no... just an American who valued her freedom...one of my friends died because she had to wait 6 months for heart surgery... the whole country never talked back and questioned authority...

The clChristians rallied with their firearms slung. Oh, wait a minute, there are only the hunting rifles stored at the Constables barracks. But they feel safer now! Just like the Germans in 1933.

In regards to #15, I traveled extensively in Europe on business before I retired. The European attitude is the same as Canada's. No one dares question government authority. The more conservative ones who do, never get past the complaining stage. And most Europeans especially those among the professional ranks are very quick to submit to government edicts. They were conditioned long ago to not question authority. Some years ago, when I was a committee chairman for an EU-based trade association, my EU counterparts, while great to work with, were extremely stubborn and resistive when it came time to challenge member state authorities on policy issues. They fear being tarred and feathered by the government and prefer to go with the flow. This behavior is an artifact of having endured two world wars and the most evil of dictatorships.
As we can see, the Amerikan left is trying very hard to condition us to behave the same way. Beware.

The power-hungry Doctors that orchestrate the New World Order do not realize that with the Spring the Chinavirus, which is a cold virus, will disappear on its own. Let nature run its course and leave our God alone, Communists.

Where's the news about the Royal Canadian Mounted Police seizing a Muslim Mosque full of Middle Easterners kneeling on rugs three feed from one another, chanting and bowing and breathing more heavily than usual?

#17, it is very real, yes, but I think it comes from a more fundamental 'sorting' process that has had most of the European "trouble makers" moving to the USA over the last three centuries, originally 'the colonies' and then 'to America' because their fundamental constitution was unable to put up with just being told what to do by some government thug.
All those 'wild folks' came here, and raised more wild folks, and all those timid, cowardly folks stayed in Europe. And it didn't do anything for their collective bravery to have killed off most of their very brave young men in WW1 and WW2. How many of their best and finest died in battle in those two horrific wars? Millions for certain, permanently out of the gene pool, likely their best and bravest while their cowards and 'get along' types stayed home.

To all of you who think Canadians are timid, I lived in the U.S. just as no smoking laws in restaurants and bars were being instituted and moved to Canada at about the same time where similar laws had been passed. The response up there to the police was, “Up yours” and they meant it. Also, try going afoul of the IRS and compare that experience to going against Revenue Canada and then tell me which has the meeker citizen. The IRS is a criminal gang full of thugs and RC has a reputation for respecting taxpayers, who don’t live in fear of an audit. We Americans can look just as timid but we just have more people with a lot of mouth and little heart. The fact is that until someone of superior courage stands up, no one will.
