    Why Alberta Should Leave Canada

    In any large country with diverse regions like Canada, it will be very hard for the national government to satisfy everyone all the time. Policies that help one region may hurt another, and there are never enough resources to meet the needs of all regions at once. Conflict between people of the various regions is, therefore, inevitable and to be expected. Nevertheless, if a government sincerely desires to do its best for the whole country, the regions that benefit most from its policies will shift over time, so that each region will get its fair share at one time or another. Arguably, this is how Canada operated for its first hundred years.

    Why Alberta Should Stay in Canada

    In my circles, this may be the most unpopular opinion I have ever shared (and I write about abortion for a living): I do not support Alberta separatism. I believe that Christians must remain loyal to their country. Canada is my country, and therefore I have a moral obligation to stand by her.

    Taxing God’s Work: The Liberal Threat to Charity

    God Himself spoke to us, in the words of the Apostle Paul, “For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad.” So, let’s ask ourselves, can Christians advance as rulers candidates for office who have proudly announced their intention to terrorize good conduct and reward bad? The power to tax is the power to destroy, and it’s made all the more perverse if those taxes accomplish evil instead of good. But let’s get into some background.

    Family Under Fire: What's at Stake This Election

    We are in the middle of an election campaign—a time when we as Canadians have an influence on the direction of our society. For the past ten years, that direction has been anti-family. The present Liberal Government has implemented policies that have harmed and harassed families, both through ideological experiments like transgender policy and through economic means like the carbon tax. At the core, it seems that the Liberal Party of Justin Trudeau and Mark Carney does not even know why the family is significant. All they might see is some sort of voting bloc to be exploited. But the family is much more than that.

    Suppressing Religious Freedom to Prevent “Discrimination”

    Although there are many political issues regularly in the news, matters related to religious freedom are likely among the most important for conservative Christians. This is because the gradual loss of religious freedom in countries like Canada and the United States has the potential to personally affect every genuine Christian in those countries. Strangely, the reduction in religious freedom is largely occurring under the guise of preventing “discrimination” against sexual minorities.

    Just Taxation: Are There No Limits?

    by
    on February 18, 2025 25 min read
    Taxation is not arbitrary. It is a moral issue for a province, nation, or municipality. We have made weak distinctions between social conservatism and fiscal conservatism. It is all moral. If we look at taxation, the boundaries of taxation say what you believe about a man’s right to property. The quantities of taxation say what you believe about a man’s right to provide for his family and tithe to his church. It says what the limits of the role of government are, which many in this age believe to be limitless. In summary, it says whether you believe that the government is god or if the One, Triune God is over the government.

    Seeking a Garden: Why Alberta Needs Christians in Political Life

    by
    on January 07, 2025 5 min read
    As we eagerly await our heavenly garden, we must not neglect the land into which we have been sent into exile (1 Peter 1:1). Instead, like the Israelites in Babylon, we should seek the good of the communities God has placed us in—including the good of our civil governments (Jeremiah 29:4–9). The civic task of the Christian, then, is threefold: first, to display the glory of the Kingdom of God as the unsurpassable alternative to false hope in the kingdoms of men; second, to declare the truth about God to the world and to direct civil government toward its God-given purpose; and, third, to pray for and work toward a government under which godly living may flourish. May the Lord raise up more Christians to boldly proclaim the truth of God’s gospel and lay the foundation for a province that promotes godliness.
