Hi! Welcome to ChristianRoots Canada

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...

Lighting Candles When I was a teenager, I heard a little song that went like this... One Little Candle "It is better to light just one little candle, Than to stumble in the dark!Better far that you light just one little candle, All you need's a tiny spark!" Today, I want to celebrate the candle-lighters on Parliament Hill... the new and old MPs who are standing in defence of justice, Judeo-Christian values, and some of them even expressing unwavering witness to Jesus Christ. They made their...

Royal Ottawa Mint & Canada House (London, England) Participants of our Protestant Legacies Walking Tour of Ottawa are strongly encouraged to visit the Royal Ottawa Mint. You can actually see the ribbons of gold and silver coiling into HUGE rolls as they exit the furnace. You see the metal being softened and rolled flat like cookie dough, the blank coins cut out (like cookies), and then indelibly stamped with the image (and likeness) of the current monarch. It is a fascinating place. I think...

Health Update I am less than one week away from diagnosing my problem. The MRI comes up soon. In the meantime, we have found out the hard way that the medication I am currently on is working to stave off the pain. The doctor tried to reduce it gradually, so that eventually it would be replaced by another medicine. In one week, I was almost right back where I started with intense pain. This indicates that the current medicine is working and truly masking the pain. Without it, I would be a...

King Charles III Did you hear? The King is coming!! To Christians, that phrase evokes the idea of the return of Jesus Christ. But in its current context, it simply means that King Charles III, the titular head of Canada, is coming to Canada. White House - https://twitter.com/POTUS/status/ In my last email, I posted a link to King Charles reminding the world, while visiting Italy, that he is the King of England AND Canada. This is what a king does. He protects his subjects. If you did not...

Canada Votes 2025 Credit: Elections Canada National Elections, or the act of voting for a representative of a political party, can generate very controversial and divisive conversations. If you would listen to / read Social Media posts, you will see and hear positions that encourage you to vote one way or the other, or condemn you for voting for a particular person or party. Conservative thinkers from every spectrum of religious beliefs have keenly felt the boot of injustice from the...

Resurrection Sunday (or Easter) I love thinking about the message of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ that is shouted from the Peace Tower at Easter Time. Do you know that the Peace Tower window preaches the gospel message of Christ's death and resurrection? Look at the picture below. The third figure in the top row represents JUSTICE. He holds a sword in front. On the blade is the figure of Christ on the cross. But Christians know, 'the rest of the story'. Christ did not stay on the cross....

Spring In My Step? By God's grace, I have graduated from a bed of pain to being able to move around again. You can say that I have a 'spring in my step,' just in time for Spring. My bulbs are coming up in my yard, so I am hopeful. I have new meds and new treatments, but I am still in a 'holding pattern' to figure out what's happening in my body. Hopefully, an MRI will provide insight into this before the end of next month. At least, with my new meds, I can think again. I can sit at my desk...

Pain & God's Providence I have been working on this email for many weeks, a little at a time. For the past three months, I have experienced one health challenge after another. The last five weeks have been the worst with as-yet-undiagnosed pain. The source of my unrelenting pain has not yet been discovered. I have sought to see God's hand amid pain and suffering. I have chronicled some of my wrestling on my Facebook wall, trying to understand it from the perspective of God's providence. We...
