My fellow Canadians:
I write as a concerned Canadian and founder of “On Guard
for Thee,” a community-based pro-life group. I have seen persistent and disturbing
legislation in past years which has steamrolled our freedoms under the guise of
health care, tolerance, and equality.
The open attack on freedom of religion, freedom of
speech, the right to life, the right to assemble and peacefully protest, the
right to health care, to basic human rights themselves – all revoked by an
authoritarian government in Ottawa. In place of our freedoms, we’re forced to endure an authoritarianism which
tells us to believe women can be men, pre-born babies aren’t human beings,
murdering the elderly and disabled is not only merciful, but it’s what they
really want, that sexual acts in ‘pride parades’ should be socially celebrated
with our children, that foreigners and refugees arrested for heinous crimes
should be given little to no jail time so their chance at Canadian citizenship
isn’t jeopardized, that seniors and armed forces veterans requesting assistance
and their due benefits are the problem in this country, not political
corruption, and the list goes on.
I must ask – where have our leaders gone? The leaders
with voices to protect veterans, pre-born babies, those with disabilities, mental
health struggles, and those of us who are imperfect. Protect us from the circling
predators bent on destroying our Canadian society. We need true leaders,
with unwavering grit and tenacity, to defend Canadians from their predators –
whether those predators be medical, political, or global.
We need parliamentary opponents with unrelenting
leadership, backed with purposeful action, to correct the course of our nation.
Is there a true leader among us who will rise to the occasion in our hour of
need? For I do not recognize this place; it is no longer the Canada I knew and
of which I was so proud as a young adult. It is a fraction of its former self,
not the country my grandpa and his generation fought and died for on Juno beach
and throughout Europe. This is not the Canada they envisioned for future
generations.
Canada, where vaguely worded legislation is designed to
protect Abortion and Euthanasia providers, not the human victims they kill. Legislation
for the transgender movement, geared to toddlers who have yet to say a complete
sentence and teens going through normal life phases. Preying on young people
with too little life experience to comprehend what their consent will do to
them, both physically and mentally, in the decades to come. Legislation designed
to destroy our society one ‘tolerance’ at a time. While apathy and disregard for
human life grow stronger by the day and government-sanctioned mutilation and murder
become a multi-billion-dollar industry.
Canada, where a national protest by ordinary citizens ended
with a gross abuse of power that enacted the War Measures Act, with which the
federal government illegally seized millions of dollars and left protestors
without financial means to survive. An ominous foreboding for the digital
currency and digital ID they so desperately want each Canadian to have, and which
can be revoked by pressing a button, should we ever decide to think for
ourselves or speak out.
Canada, where pastors like Artur Pawlowski, a legal
immigrant who fled communist Poland under the iron curtain, was jailed for
keeping his church open and for speaking out against tyranny in our nation, our
nation now so reminiscent of the Poland he so desperately fled.
We need a leader who will correct Canada’s course and
restore the freedoms our forefathers fought and died for in faraway lands, and
the moral principles which guided
their lives.
We wish once again to say with clear conviction the words
spoken by Prime Minister, John Diefenbaker: ‘I am a Canadian, free to speak
without fear, to worship in my own way, free to stand for what I think right,
free to oppose what I believe wrong, or free to choose those who shall govern
my country.’
Who will carry this mantle? The answer is “we all should”
because each of us can lead the way for others through our thoughts, words, and
actions. We are all examples of our life choices – good or bad. The question is
not 'who will carry this mantle', but rather 'how bad do things have to get before I
stand up for myself, my family, and my country'?
God Bless,
Lee-Ann
