The First Nation has given notice that residents at the Queneesh Mobile Home park have less than two years to move off the property. Many considered them their forever homes. With the high cost of moving a trailer and extremely limited places to legally move them, the residents say they deserve better. “There’s no place to move our trailers to on the Island. We are stuck. We have put our life savings into this trailer, and now we have to leave with nothing. That is ludicrous,” said Kathy Jenkins, a park resident of 34 years.

In 2023, CHP Canada attempted to purchase advertising space on bus shelters in Hamilton, Ontario. The proposed poster was a picture of a smiling woman with the message: Woman: An Adult Female. The City of Hamilton rejected the ad, saying it might offend some users of the transit system. The CHP challenged that decision in a judicial review and later took the case to the Ontario Court of Appeals.

In this episode of the Canadian Reformer, Andrew Enduma (FEBCanada) joins Daniel Kim for part 2 of the Evangelism Series.

Although the idea of a prayer ban is unpopular in English Canada, it will play well with segments of the Quebec electorate uneasy about immigration and religion. It helps the government firmly signal its support for Quebec’s now-dominant secular religion, one that treats other religious practices as a private matter with no place in public life.* Quebec Moves to Outlaw Prayer in Public Spaces – ARPA Canada* City Councilors push for vote on public prayer ban- Gazette* Quebec Premier reacts to large Muslim groups – Rebel NewsCall to Action:1. Share this story with Christian friends in Canada.2. Pray this motion to ban public prayer will be heavily revised or scraped, and for Christian values and principles to return in Quebec.#4 Bill C-9 and Canada’s Anti-Hate NetworkAlthough the Criminal Code prohibits the willful promotion of hatred and the public incitement of hatred, the term “hatred” is undefined. While Bill C-9 defines hatred so as to exclude disdain, dislike, or offence, it still relies on understanding the motivation behind a person’s actions as well as the effect it has on the emotions of others. Hatred is a real sin. But government and law enforcement cannot discern the degree of hatred in one’s heart, though they can judge and punish the things they do.* New Hate Speech Legislation in Canada – ARPA Canada* Liberals silent on funding for “anti-hate” group – Juno News* What is the Anti-Hate Network about? – Official WebsiteCall to action:1.
