Rex Murphy: A Canadian insurrection? It is to laugh

Is it really that hard for politicians to acknowledge that the majority of people who went all the way to Ottawa are just decent folks?

Update Today February 2  from Pat Maloney - Run with Life 

If you are interested in what and why the truckers are doing what they are doing, this is an excellent independent analysis from Andrew Lawton who was there all weekend. He interviewed a lot of people including the organizers, indigenous people, and politicians, and others. About 43 minutes long. Andrew's fist hand observations are NOT what you will hear from the mainstream media (Postmedia, CBC, etc).

Andrew Lawton Interviews Conservative MP Leslyn Lewis

Andrew Lawton

What brings you out today why are you on parliament hill?  

Leslyn Lewis 

Why wouldn't I be? This is democracy. This is what democracy is all about. People believe that the government has overstepped with mandates and they're here to exercise their democratic right. People give the government the power to act in accordance with their values. The government doesn't have any independent power. It is us that confers the power on the government. Where they overstep the people, then the people have a right to voice their opinion. What we've seen in the past year with the demonization of people, turning people against each other, the hatred that has been spewed from the highest levels is completely unacceptable and the people have had enough and they are here to voice their opinions and I support any peaceful active democracy and all I've seen here is law-abiding Canadians express their voice which they're allowed to do so why wouldn't I be here? 

 

Andrew Lawton 

Do you think the Conservatives have done an adequate job representing these people throughout the pandemic in the last couple of years or even during the time you've been in office the last few months? 

Leslyn Lewis:

Well, I've always spoken out. You've seen that I've always spoken out from the beginning about things that concern my constituents I will always be a voice from my constituents. I will never be silent so I believe that MPs Act in accordance with the voice of their constituents yes?

Andrew Lawton

For a lot of people there is not about whether you're pro or anti-vaccination it's about the fundamental message. it's about government overreach. Is that resonating with what you are hearing from your constituents on the ground?

Leslyn Lewis

Absolutely whether you're vaccinated or non vaccinated it's about the mandate and whether or not their mandates are fair whether they adhere to public health principles because that's what we're concerned about we want everybody to be safe. We want everyone who is able to be vaccinated to be able to exercise informed consent: that's what we're concerned about. So it's not about whether you're vaccinated or not it's about government overreach 

Or you can watch this program on youtube

(By the way. Postmedia receives a lot of government funding, and probably owns the media you consume https://www.postmedia.com/brands/ MSM receives a LOT of government funding. Canada Grants and contributions database registers 258 such grants for the last number of years for Postmedia alone. https://search.open.canada.ca/en/gc/?sort=agreement_value_fs%20desc&page=1&search_text=postmedia The CBC received 1.2 billion last year from the government. https://tnc.news/2021/04/19/liberal-budget-promises-new-funding-for-the-cbc/ Andrew Lawton's True North independent media, receives no government funding.))

Update Today February 1 

One of the organizers of the convoy is an Indigenous woman, and another is a Jewish man. Yet at a press conference, yesterday Trudeau claimed the freedom movement is tarnished by Nazi and racist sympathies. What's he talking about?  There is no indication of this whatsoever. 

https://twitter.com/hashtag/ConvoyForFreedom2022?src=hashtag_click

We all know that the organizers specifically wanted to meet with the Prime Minister to express their frustration with the vaccination mandates etc. but he refused to meet with them and seemingly went into hiding instead. He fled Ottawa just before the convoy of trucks arrived, citing exposure to COVID, even though at the time he tested negative. Today he tweeted that he had tested positive despite being triple vaccinated. Really?

From lifesite news https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/trudeau-equates-canadian-truckers-at-freedom-convoy-rally-to-nazis-racists/?utm_source=featured&utm_campaign=canada.

"Within the first couple of minutes of the press conference, Trudeau said that “freedom of expression, assembly and association are cornerstones of democracy, but Nazi symbolism, racist imagery … are not.”

He was asked by a reporter if he would meet with the truckers or attend the protest, as he attended, for instance, the Black Lives Matter (BLM) demonstrations during the height of lockdown in 2020, but he said he would not. “I have attended protests in the past when I agreed with the goals,” referring to BLM, but he is choosing to stay away from the trucker protest because of “hateful rhetoric” and “violence toward citizens.”

Trudeau’s expressed unwillingness to support the trucker convoy movement due to his belief that there is a risk of violence associated with the movement is in contrast to his government’s past actions that saw him hand over a compensation cheque of $10 million to a convicted terrorist who killed an American soldier. "

Anyways there you have it from the mouth of our Prime Minister.  According to him, the freedom Convoy protestors are a bunch of racists and Nazis with hateful rhetoric and violence towards citizens. Nothing could be further from the truth. Like I said I was on the Hill on Sunday. The grounds were awash in Canadian Flags. The speeches were heartfelt, compassionate and humble. There was nothing with even a touch of violent rhetoric. This is the Prime Minister who clearly supports anarchists such as the BLM movement but he won't even meet with sincere Canadians who drove thousands of miles for a meeting with the man who is supposedly their prime minister? At the very least it is mean and childish but it seems to be more than that.  I don't get our Prime Minister and I don't get the Canadians that are on board with the hatred he is inciting for the Freedom Convoy because that is clearly what is happening. And I am fed up once again with our reporters from the mainstream because they just echo what Trudeau says without any regard for the truth it seems.  I am sure none of them were on Parliament Hill on Sunday. CFRA used to be better than that. God bless Canada! God bless those who promote love and not hatred, truth and not lies! God bless all who work for freedom justice and peace! And God bless Canada! 

January 30 2022

After 9:30 mass at Saint Patrick Basilica, I walked to Parliament Hill hoping to get there before Maxime Bernier arrived because I wanted to tape his speech. Pat told me he was leaving Nicholas Street at 11 so I presumed that I had missed his speech because I got to the Hill after 12 and I didn't see him anywhere near the speech area which was on Wellington Street outside the front gates.  

There were thousands upon thousands of peaceful souls at Parliament Hill.  I never saw so many people on or near Parliament Hill except maybe on Canada Day or the annual March for Life. There were a lot of really good passionate and loving speeches going on. I couldn't really concentrate on them though because I was freezing. I asked a young lad who was holding numerous Maxime Bernier signs if Mr. Bernier had spoken yet and he told me, no but he should be around shortly so I stayed and waited a while for him ( I really like Maxime Bernier: I wish he was our Prime Minister) but my hands were so cold I wasn't able to stay much longer. I listened to a few of the speeches that came right from the hearts. Because I was so cold I decided to leave and walked back to the train. Honestly, I don't know how the crowds were able to withstand the frigid cold, only by the Grace of God I think. When you're fighting for a great cause such as this is, I think God gives you the strength to endure

 As I passed the crowd I felt like I was at a Canada Day Celebration. There was spontaneous singing of O Canada, lots of friendly smiles, countless trucks, and the truckers who are the men and women Canada depends on 24/7;  young parents pushing bundled up tots in their strollers, older folks in wheelchairs, some with walkers, some with canes, teens laughing and smiling at each other,  Canadian flags and smiles were everywhere. There was an old lady who kept dropping her mittens ( oh wait a minute, that was me). At least twice a kind soul approached me with one of my mittens and a smile!

There were signs all over the place (some pretty funny ) most were very serious. I honestly felt so proud of everybody involved in the Rally. I couldn't even begin to imagine all the tireless hours of preparation and dedication it took to prepare all of it; the thousands of miles of travel, the frigid weather the love they have for their beloved country and for all of us? And to think that Our Prime Minister wouldn't even meet them and that he calls them a fringe group? The way our Prime Minister treats Canadians is unbelievable. It seems anyone the Prime Minister doesn't agree with is a fringe person.  I know what that's like: I am a Pro-Life Christian so I'm accustomed to fringe too. 

Anyways as I walked back along Wellington Street to Bank Street to go home I took a few short videos 

( which I put together below) 

Thank you Freedom Convoy! Thank you and God bless you all!!!

No kidding eh!

Mr. Trudeau, did you listen to the Second Reading at Church today? Didn't think so!

Yes!

Amen!

You're telling me!

I'm in!

I'm with you there!

Amen to that!

 

Freedom over fear

'Freedom convoy' truck drivers approach Ottawa ahead of protest

To our Government leaders and members of the mainstream media; please let up on the unvaccinated: Give it a rest already!

Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. The idea of taking a vaccination derived from cells from aborted babies is troubling to me and to countless others and a very difficult decision to make.  Many of the unvaccinated are opposed to a vaccine connected in any way to a child killed by abortion, and rightly so. There are other reasons why someone might be hesitant to take the vaccine and I totally respect that person's decision not to take the vaccine as well.  Can we please start to respect the unvaccinated? We all have to listen to the voice ( conscience)  that speaks to us in our hearts: This can be a real struggle. Each person comes to his or her decision to take the vaccine or to not take it, and in most cases, with much thought, and it's not an easy decision: it wasn't for me anyway, and yet our political leaders, the mainstream media, talk show hosts, you name it, are constantly vilifying the unvaccinated and inciting hatred towards them. Can you just stop already! 

So often you hear about people being upset because of animals being used in the testing of various products. Well is it too much to ask that the same respect be shown to babies as well?  Father Mark Goring makes a good point in the video below, that it is time for all of us to become more insistent with the pharmaceutical companies that they produce products ethically: that they are done without using cells from aborted babies. 

Animal testing and tainted pharmaceuticals

In this, US Bishops urge the FDA to use ethical means to develop a coronavirus vaccine—Archbishop Joseph Naumann is of the Diocese of Kansas City, Kansas. As vaccines for COVID19 develop, the USCCB has urged the FDA to use ethical means. Archbishop Joseph Naumann discusses the historical use of aborted fetal tissues in the development of vaccines and why it's not necessary. 

Archbishop Naumann on protecting the vulnerable: 

"I think it's admirable that we as a culture are taking these steps to try to protect those that are most vulnerable to the virus. Hopefully, that can translate into a similar concern for the lives of the unborn."

Information my sister Pat sent me:

Here is a couple of cut and pastes from Children of God for Life that has extensive information on the vaccines. These points are in the comment section of the article and are good short informative quotes on the vaccines currently available in Canada: Pfizer and Moderna.

• "Pfizer/BioNTech was morally produced and contains no aborted fetal material. They did testing of the product on the HEK-293 cells but they are not part of the product, unlike the others listed in the red column on our website."
• "There are no aborted fetal cells used in the production of the Pfizer vaccine; they tested the completed product. This is completely unlike Moderna’s vaccine that used aborted fetal cells IN the spike protein production which is part of their vaccine and they have done extensive research, development and testing using aborted fetal cells as well."
• "The information on both Pfizer and Moderna is on our website here: https://cogforlife.org/wp-content/uploads/CovidCompareMoralImmoral.pdf The proof is linked to the science documents showing the data. The two vaccines do use the same technology – but one chose to do it morally (Pfizer) using adult donor cells and the other (Moderna) chose aborted fetal in the construct of their vaccine. However, they both tested their vaccines on aborted fetal cells."
• "In the case of Pfizer, the HEK-293 cells were used only in the final testing, whereas Moderna used them in the research, development, testing and production of their spike protein. Pfizer on the other hand, created their protein using K562 cells from an adult female donor. The cells in both vaccines are NOT IN the final product. Both of the vaccines use mRNA technology which has never been used in any vaccines before."
• "Both Pfizer and Moderna are using the mRNA technology. Pfizer did it morally (other than final testing) and Moderna did it immorally in their research, development, production and testing."

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

The celebration of holiness is renewed today in St Peter's Square. I joyfully address my cordial welcome to you who have come from even very far away to take part in it. I offer a special greeting to the Cardinals, to the Bishops and to the Superiors General of the Institutes founded by the new Saints, as well as to the Official Delegations and to all the Civil Authorities. Let us seek together to understand what the Lord tells us in the Sacred Scriptures proclaimed just now. This Sunday's Liturgy offers us a fundamental teaching: the need to pray always, without tiring. At times we grow weary of praying, we have the impression that prayer is not so useful for life, that it is not very effective. We are therefore tempted to throw ourselves into activity, to use all the human means for attaining our goals and we do not turn to God. Jesus himself says that it is necessary to pray always, and does so in a specific parable (cf. Lk 18: 1-8).

This parable speaks to us of a judge who does not fear God and is no respecter of persons: a judge without a positive outlook, who only seeks his own interests. He neither fears God's judgement nor respects his neighbour. The other figure is a widow, a person in a situation of weakness. In the Bible, the widow and the orphan are the neediest categories, because they are defenceless and without means. The widow goes to the judge and asks him for justice. Her possibilities of being heard are almost none, because the judge despises her and she can bring no pressure to bear on him. She cannot even appeal to religious principles because the judge does not fear God. Therefore this widow seems without any recourse. But she insists, she asks tirelessly, importuning him, and in the end she succeeds in obtaining a result from the judge. At this point Jesus makes a reflection, using the argument a fortiori: if a dishonest judge ends by letting himself be convinced by a widow's plea, how much more will God, who is good, answer those who pray to him. God in fact is generosity in person, he is merciful and is therefore always disposed to listen to prayers. Therefore we must never despair but always persist in prayer.

The conclusion of the Gospel passage speaks of faith: "When the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?" (Lk 18: 8). It is a question that intends to elicit an increase of faith on our part. Indeed it is clear that prayer must be an expression of faith, otherwise it is not true prayer. If one does not believe in God's goodness, one cannot pray in a truly appropriate manner.
Faith is essential as the basis of a prayerful attitude. It was so for the six new Saints who are held up today for the veneration of the universal Church: Stanisław Sołtys, André Bessette, Cándida María de Jesús Cipitria y Barriola, Mary of the Cross MacKillop, Giulia Salzano and Battista Camilla Varano.

St Stanisław Kazimierczyk, a religious of the 15th century, can also be an example and an intercessor for us. His whole life was bound to the Eucharist, first of all in the Church of Corpus Domini in Kazimierz, known today as Krakow, where, beside his mother and father, he learned faith and piety. Here he made his religious vows with the Canons Regular; here he worked as a priest and educator, attentive to the care of the needy. However, he was linked in a special way to the Eucharist through his ardent love for Christ present under the species of the Bread and the Wine; by living the mystery of his death and Resurrection, which is fulfilled in an unbloody way in the Holy Mass; by the practice of love for neighbour, of which Communion is a source and a sign.

Bro. André Bessette, a native of Quebec in Canada, and a religious of the Congregation of the Holy Cross, experienced suffering and poverty at a very early age. They led him to have recourse to God through prayer and an intense inner life. As porter of the College of Notre Dame in Montreal, he demonstrated boundless charity and strove to relieve the distress of those who came to confide in him. With very little education, he had nevertheless understood where the essential of his faith was situated. For him, believing meant submitting freely and through love to the divine will. Wholly inhabited by the mystery of Jesus, he lived the beatitude of pure of heart, that of personal rectitude. It is thanks to this simplicity that he enabled many people to see God. He had built the Oratory of St Joseph of Mount Royal, whose faithful custodian he remained until his death in 1937. He was the witness of innumerable cures and conversions. "Do not seek to have your trials removed", he said, "ask rather for the grace to bear them well". For him, everything spoke of God and of God's presence. May we, in his footsteps, seek God with simplicity in order to discover him ever present in the heart of our life! May the example of Bro. André inspire Canadian Christian life!

When the Son of man comes to do justice to the chosen ones, will he find this faith on earth? (cf. Lk 18: 8). Today, contemplating figures such as Mother Cándida María de Jesús Cipitria y Barriola, we can say "yes" with relief and firmness. That girl of simple origins on whose heart God had set his seal and whom he brought very soon, with the guidance of her Jesuit spiritual directors, to make the firm decision to live "for God alone". She faithfully kept to her decision as she herself recalled when she was about to die. She lived for God and for what he most desires: to reach everyone, to bring everyone the hope that does not disappoint, especially to those who need it most. "Where there is no room for the poor, there is no room for me either" the new Saint said, and with limited means she imbued the other Sisters with the desire to follow Jesus and to dedicate themselves to the education and advancement of women. So it was that the Hijas de Jesús [Daughters of Jesus] came into being; today they have in their Foundress a very lofty model of life to imitate and an exciting mission to carry on Mother Cándida's apostolate with her spirit and aspirations, in many countries.

"Remember who your teachers were from these you can learn the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith in Christ Jesus". For many years countless young people throughout Australia have been blessed with teachers who were inspired by the courageous and saintly example of zeal, perseverance and prayer of Mother Mary MacKillop. She dedicated herself as a young woman to the education of the poor in the difficult and demanding terrain of rural Australia, inspiring other women to join her in the first women's community of religious sisters of that country. She attended to the needs of each young person entrusted to her, without regard for station or wealth, providing both intellectual and spiritual formation. Despite many challenges, her prayers to St Joseph and her unflagging devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, to whom she dedicated her new congregation, gave this holy woman the graces needed to remain faithful to God and to the Church. Through her intercession, may her followers today continue to serve God and the Church with faith and humility!

In the second half of the 19th century, in Campania, in the south of Italy, the Lord called a young elementary teacher, Giulia Salzano, and made her an apostle of Christian education, Foundress of the Congregation of the Catechist Sisters of the Sacred Heart. Mother Gulia understood well the importance of catechesis in the Church and, combining pedagogical training with spiritual fervour, dedicated herself with generosity and intelligence, contributing to the formation of people of every age and social class. She would repeat to the Sisters that she wished to catechize to the very last hour of her life, showing with her whole self that if "God created us to know him, love him and serve him in this life", it is necessary to put nothing before this task. May the example and intercession of St Giulia Salzano sustain the Church in her perennial duty to proclaim Christ and to form authentic Christian consciences.

St Battista Camilla Varano, a Poor Clare nun of the 15th century, witnessed to the deep evangelical meaning of life, especially through persevering prayer. She entered the monastery in Urbino at the age of 23, fitting into that vast movement of the reform of Franciscan female spirituality which aimed to recover fully the charism of St Clare of Assisi. She promoted new monastic foundations in Camerino where she was several times elected Abbess, in Fermo and in San Severino. St Battista's life, totally immersed in divine depths, was a constant ascent on the way of perfection, with a heroic love of God and neighbour. She was marked by profound suffering and mystic consolation; in fact she had decided, as she herself writes, "to enter the most Sacred Heart of Jesus and to drown in the ocean of his most bitter suffering". In a period in which the Church was undergoing a period of moral laxity, she took with determination the road of penance and prayer, enlivened by an ardent desire for the renewal of the Mystical Body of Christ.

Dear brothers and sisters, let us thank the Lord for the gift of holiness that is resplendent in the Church and today shines out on the faces of these brothers and sisters of ours. Jesus also invites each one of us to follow him in order to inherit eternal life. Let us allow ourselves to be attracted by these luminous examples and to be guided by their teaching, so that our life may be a canticle of praise to God. May the Virgin Mary and the intercession of the six new Saints whom we joyfully venerate today obtain this for us. Amen.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

O Lord, Word of God, You, whose glory is complete, came to us in perfect humility as a child in the womb. Your love for us and Your humility is unsurpassed and brings us to our knees in prayer and worship.

Your incarnation forever changed the world.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end.

Amen.

O Lord, infant Jesus, move us to forgive others as you forgive us! Your Divine Mercy is unending! We pray for Your Divine Mercy on us and that we may participate in Your mercy by forgiving others this Christmas.

We also pray for these intentions… (State your intentions here)

May Your Holy Will be done in my life and with these intentions.

We pray that the work of salvation that Your first coming began will reach fulfillment in each of us.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end.

Amen.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
