Believe it or not there is good news in Canada.

The Chinese came to my area a few years ago and put up quite a few of those for the marijuana people. Seem to be a really good green house.

“For India, Justin Trudeau’s Crackdown on Canada’s Truckers Reeks of Rank Hypocrisy”
https://www.news18.com/news/opinion/for ... 61413.html

Trudeau: India

“Canada will always be ready to defend the right to peaceful protest.”
This is what Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had said about the farmers’ protest in India.

Without flinching for a second, Trudeau interfered in India’s domestic matter and members of his government like Jagmeet Singh, did the same without a care for the facts on the ground, further denting relations with India which were already on a rocky path. ..

Trudeau: Canada

.. In a nutshell, the liberal government in Ottawa really wants to send the protesters home and if that means seizing legitimately raised funds or snatching fuel supplies in the dead of winter, so be it.

The ‘right to peaceful protest’ comes with a huge caveat in the Western Hemisphere and the self-proclaimed guarantors of democracy are the ones enforcing it. But it won’t be easy.

To a continental country like Canada with two major oceans on both sides, Truckers are an economic lifeline.
And as for India, which is watching this duplicity unfurl, perhaps this ironic lesson was destined to be delivered by none other than the ‘liberal icon’ Justin Trudeau.

A note of caution regarding criticism of Canada's leaders - Romans 13:1-5 -

Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended. For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience.

Christians have often put their 'spin' on what this actually means and/or it's limitations but since Anabaptism promotes taking scriptures literally I wonder what God thinks of any believer passing judgment of sorts on 'governing authorities' . Notice the warning here about anyone doing this that they 'will bring judgment on themselves'. Whether it be about Trump, Trudeau, Putin, the police, whoever is a governing authority, and so we can easily be sinning in this area.

I still am very thankful to be living in Canada. So far, no looting and shootings in dealing with the law breakers and I hope every Canadian is thankful today for how those in authority have peacefully handled this situation. I can't think of another place in this world I would rather live.

Thankyou authorities for your good work. Now back to what we are called to be as we pass through this land.

[Sudsy]

What a wonderful God we serve that in the storms of life we can have this rest in Christ alone in quietness and trust.

Refreshing this, hoping for appleman’s thoughts on it.

This is a common practise on the street where I live here in Leamington, Ontario, Canada. We enjoy our occasional snow falls and often get out during the night to help each other shovel snow. There are some good hearted folks that even though they are not yet Christians, they enjoy doing good works.

Canada, a great country !!!!
