I know it is a stretch to describe this as end times, but I believe it is the start of something greater. Laws are being enforced where there is no law. The article goes into the detail about this. www.cbc.ca/news/opinion/summer-jobs-program-1.4491602"Under the new rules, applicants must agree — by marking a box on an electronic form — that they respect charter rights, including "women's rights and women's reproductive rights." The office of the employment minister has said without the confirmation, an organization will not receive funding." "That Trudeau and his team are apparently so at ease encouraging conservative Christians and other religious Canadians to betray their conscience should cause many across the country great unease. Even those who are solidly pro-choice will appreciate the dangers inherent in that precedent." "Conservative Christians and those of other faiths supporting pro-life positions should not be subjected to an ideological purity test to qualify for federal funding. The beliefs they hold about abortion are completely within the bounds of the law and can be voiced upon and advocated for freely and publicly. Even organizations that are solely dedicated to opposing abortion contravene no law. Their only "crime" is that their values don't align with those of our prime minister. It's ironic that Trudeau insists Canadians support "diversity and inclusion," when he himself does not. Clearly, the Liberals are letting a particular worldview, and not the law, influence their actions. The danger here is that if a government can pretend a law into existence, it can pretend others out of existence." This last sentence in what I have copied from the opinion piece is what really resonated with me. This is the sign of our times, Governments have the ability to pretend laws out of existence, without the input of the people. It is quite unnerving to see where this leads us, not just in Canada but worldwide.

Thank you sawdy for bringing this up. This is indeed very sad news. But what did we expect? That Christians are received with open arms? It was predicted before. The sling is closing. Still waiting for the day when I'm outlawed....

Sad to hear this Sawdy, but as Stephan says it should be expected. Just the reality of seeing up close that makes us realize we are in the last of the last days
