A Dominion Day Gift For You
|
Happy Dominion Day Do you know that Canada Day should really be named Dominion Day? Do you know why? If you read this article, you will understand HOW we became the Dominion of Canada. To learn about the skulduggery that Pierre Elliot Trudeau engaged in to change the day from Dominion Day to Canada Day, read the section of this article that begins with ... 'The Influence of Judeo Christianity'. The article traces the birth of Canada from France until Confederation. Celebrate the birth of The Dominion of Canada, because 'He shall have dominion also from sea to sea.' Psalm 72:8. This verse is our motto and is inscribed in the concrete arch of the East Window of the Peace Tower on Parliament Hill. ------------------------------------------------------- Enjoy Your Summer This year, many Canadians are vacationing at home in Canada, instead of heading South of the border. This is because of the imposition of tariffs on Canada by the United States. Many have experienced more deterrents, such as American border officials accessing private information from their phones. Our government has given Canadians a gift to encourage them to plan interesting 'staycations' for the whole family. Heritage Minister, Stephen Guilbeau explains your gift - the 'Canada Strong Pass' that took effect from June 20th and ends on September 2nd. With it, your family can visit many museums, historic railroads, national parks, and camping spots at discounted prices or for free. And if you plan to spend some time in Ottawa, the most museum-dense city in Canada, then don't forget to take our Self-Guided Walking Tour. Walk in the footsteps of Christians who laid the foundations of Ottawa, while marveling at their works. From the lumber industry at Chaudiere Falls, to the Parliament Buildings, to the Ottawa Locks and Rideau Hall - marvel at the legacies left by the Christians who have gone before you! Visit the Rideau Falls and see what Champlain saw on his way up the Ottawa River. Do you know why he called the Twin Falls the 'Rideau Falls'? Because the water cascades over the ledge of the rocks like a curtain. The translation of curtain in French is the word 'rideau'. So when you visit the Rideau Canal, or Rideau Locks, or Rideau Hall, thank Samuel Champlain for its name. ------------------------------------------------------ Parliament Hill Scriptures And if you have never heard about the 25 Scripture Verses on Parliament Hill, you can order your copy here. This book shows you the exact location of each Scripture verse. Get the English-only copy here. Get the Bilingual copy here. If you prefer a smaller book with a theological perspective on the Scripture verses, get the book Our Biblical Legacy on Parliament Hill. ------------------------------------------------------- Moving Day As you would expect, I am up to my ears in packing. But, there is light at the end of the tunnel... and it is not the light of a train - lol. Moving Day is in 2 weeks. I hope to be in touch with you by then. ------------------------------------------------------ Don't forget to send me some pictures if you took the Self-Guided Tour. Let me know what you thought. Have a wonderful summer!!
