Canadian clergy rebuke Trudeau for invoking Emergencies Act, other 'tyrannical actions'The clergy warned Trudeau is dividing Canada and 'exposing this government and people to the judgment of God'
Fox News ^ | 2/18/22 | Jon Brown

A group of Canadian clergy sent an open letter to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau earlier this week rebuking him for invoking the Emergencies Act to quell the Freedom Convoy and for other actions they described as "tyrannical."

"We are writing to you as representative pastors of Christian congregations from across the nation and as law-abiding citizens who respect the God-defined role of civil government and uphold the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the highest law of our land, which recognizes the supremacy of God over all human legislation," read the letter, which was signed by 29 clergymen and remains open for other Canadians to sign.

Explaining their repeated, earnest attempts to prayerfully redress their grievances with all levels of government regarding "indefinite suspension of civil liberties, coercive mandates and perpetual state interference in the life, freedom and worship of the church," the pastors denounced Trudeau for cracking down on the Freedom Convoy instead of hearing them out. They emphasized that members of the clergy are a part of the convoy.

"The Ottawa protest has presented your government with a wonderful opportunity to meet with and speak to ordinary Canadians lawfully and peaceably requiring the restoration of their constitutional rights," they wrote.

"However, in response to their singing, praying, dancing, candy floss, bouncy castles, speeches about the Constitution and outpourings of patriotic love for the country, your government has not only refused to meet with these citizens to hear their concerns, you have insulted, denigrated and lied about them, further dividing a hurting and broken nation."

The pastors went on to rebuke Trudeau and his government for seemingly believing that they have the authority to bestow and remove fundamental rights at will.

"Your government does not grant people the right to their bodily integrity, the right to work or earn a living, the right to decide for their children or to be with their families or dying loved ones, the right to gather to worship and obey God, the right to travel in their own land or enter and leave. Civil government exists to protect these pre-political and fundamental freedoms, not bestow and remove them as if it can function in the place of God."

The pastors also condemned Trudeau "in the strongest possible terms" for his "unprecedented" invocation of the Emergencies Act to stop the Freedom Convoy protests and blockades. "There is no national emergency and to invoke one to crush peaceful political dissent is a totalitarian act of repression displaying weakness not strength," they said.

"These tyrannical actions are exposing this government and people to the judgment of God, and we are deeply concerned that you do not appreciate the significance of God’s wrath upon a rebellious and lawless nation," they warned in closing....

Governments have no fear of God. The only time a tyrannical government will leave you alone is if the government fears the people.

A test run for the Antichrist.

This is where it will all and up.

Eventually.

My lefty sister cheers this sh!t on. I have lost family members (lost as in we don’t talk anymore) over this crap.

This crap is fixin’ to happen here. Shots will be fired by false flag CIA/DHS and sh!t will go down big time. It will end when the obama regime gets hanged or Jesus Christ returns.

Mark my words....

As the Founders knew. That’s why they wrote the 2nd. And what makes us unique.

Daniel 7:23.

It has been prophesied.

It will come.

Goes way beyond Obama. Count on your second scenario, but look for the prophesied tribulation to precede it.

Government never fears the people; that is not its nature, and the Founding Fathers knew that; only time you can have a peaceful nation with harmony between government and governed is with God’s help.

Apples don’t fall far from the tree. Justin is just as big a dud as his dad Fidel Castro was. Not only does he look like him he also acts like him.

I share your sentiment, but things are not quite bad enough yet for people to openly revolt. It will have to affects peoples’ pocketbooks as well as their health before they get going, but each day we are inching closer. I hate to see the day come, but many ignorant and stupid politicians are just begging for it.

This is so farking stupid. I’m vaccinated but this is a naked power grab. It’s not like the vaccine inhibits transmission. The only thing it does is keep some people out of the morgue. Why do Castreau or any of these neo-bolsheviks care? There are a lot of governments that need to be toppled.

Trudeau cannot back down now. He must crush the protests no matter what the longer term effects on Canada. If it results in a neo-fascist state that is okay with him. He is on top for now. Until his Ceausescu moment.
