The City of Terrace is banning the placing of a nativity scene on top of the covered entrance to city hall this holiday season, ending a decades-old Christmas observance.

The nativity scene belongs to the Knights of Columbus, a Catholic men’s charitable group, and is usually put up in early December.

The city is invoking a Supreme Court of Canada decision arising from a 2007 complaint filed against the City of Saguenay, Quebec for its council’s practice of holding a prayer prior to each meeting.

  1. Banning a Christian based theme/scene dedicated to the birth of the Messiah, Jesus is another mark of our fallen ways and us falling into the grasp of Satan. Of course many cities, towns and such will fly LGBT flags, BLM flags, and other signs/symbols with impunity. But to allow a Christian observance with a display of the Birth of Jesus is to these lost souls, noting an emotional attack on others who may not observe our Christian ways/traditions.

    Canada may govern in a secular way, but nothing says a government building cannot set up a Christian based theme/scene. CANADA WAS LIKE ALL WESTERN NATIONS FOUNDED ON CHRISTIAN BASED VALUES!!! We may tolerate non Christian ways, but those who do not like our 150+ year Christian based western values here it can STUFF IT UP THEIR ARSE SIDEWAYS! THEY CAN LEAVE OUR NATION!

    Those who carry on anti-Christian ideals, anti-Canadian values, anti-western world ideals, are quick to DEMAND diversity, inclusion and equity (ALL MARXIST IDEALS!) They use the acronym of ‘DIE’ to denote such. But since all Marxist-Socialist values are intrinsically Satanist. ‘DIE’ is spun to represent, Diversity, Inclusion and Equity. BUT! Like everything Satanic it’s actually the opposite. ‘DIE’ actually means Depravity (or substitute Degeneracy), Intolerance and Exclusion. REMEMBER THIS FOLKS WHEN YOU HEAR THE ACRONYM ‘DIE’ it is actually to make my point one more time, Depravity/Degeneracy, Intolerance and Exclusion.

    MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL! Please find time over this Christmas season to think about the gift of the Messiah ok? It’s not really about buying stuff to give as gifts. But in the ideal of our gift giving it’s about the gift that God gave/gives us all in ‘The Messiah’

  2. OBTW,

    Separation of Religion and Government is not two ways. It is to protect the practice of peaceful religious faith without the government interfering or undermining said faith.

    People of religious faith including the church can and must speak of or invoke these values in the civil discourse of government. Those who do not practice orthodoxy of religious faith, ie: atheists, agnostics, Marxists, Communists etc. use their values to infiltrate government, its lawmaking and our society. They have been crafty at undermining our Christian base values here (Satan is a master manipulator) and we have been asleep at the wheel in pushing back.

    SO YES YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT AS A PERSON OF FAITH AND THROUGH YOUR CHURCH IF SO BE IT TO INFLUENCE OUR GOVERNMENTS AT ALL LEVELS! Those who especially do no practice Christianity are for many doing so in their ideology. THINK ABOUT IT! WAKE UP ALL CHRISTIANS OF CANADA!
