Prayer On Remembrance Day Does Not Violate Our Constitution
Once again this year we are confronted with the spectacle of the authorities saying no prayer at official Remembrance Day ceremonies. I refer to an Epoch Times story of November 8.
They are wrong ! Wrong!
I was there.
The opening words of our Charter say:
“Whereas Canada is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God and the rule of law:”
This was agreed to by all 11 first Ministers !
They were all Christians . We only knew a Judaeo Christian God. Self Evident.
The Courts have no business twisting the clear intent of this section of our Constitution.
Apparently this rule stems from a 2015 Supreme Court of Canada Decision against the City Council of Saguenay , Quebec that was saying a prayer at their Council meetings.
That Court decision is wrong —it violates the opening words of our Constitution.
Our history and traditions are being thrown in the garbage heap based on the twisted , progressive , woke thinking that has seeped right into the very sinew of our political body.
We must stand up !
If there is need to accommodate other religions in Remembrance day ceremonies then that should be accommodated.
But the Judaeo Christian God and its traditions and principles must remain.
Eliminating our Judaeo Christian traditions, principles from official Remembrance Day ceremonies that were and are the backbone of who we are shows a disdain and a lack of respect. This is not Justice——-this is imposing unconstitutional secularism upon our nation.
The Constitution Act of 1982 contains an Amending Formula. If there are those around who wish to change the constitution then there is a legitimate avenue provided by the First Ministers Of 1982.

Judeo-Christian? What kind of crap is that?
There is no Jedeo-Christian anything. There are Christians and there are Jews. They are not the same.
Canada was founded on Christian Principles by Chrisitans. That’s it.
Want to find out who died for Canada? Want to determine who we are praying for? Just go to any cenotaph and read the names. The names are literally carved in stone. Read them.
So, on the Eleventh minute, of the Eleventh hour, of the Eleventh day of the Eleventh month, do the Christian thing. Or do the Jewish thing if that is your belief. But remember, I am not you, and you are not me.
