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.

Or three. Quebec might take the opportunity to declare its independence as well.

Governments do crumble. In real democracies, peacefully, by popular vote. In fake democracies...

Few governments give up power willingly. In the vast majority of oppressive regimes, power has to be wrested from them.

“Count on your second scenario, but look for the prophesied tribulation to precede it.”

That would be a worthy hope, but keep your hatch battened until you’re going up.
If events don’t go as expected, CLING TO GOD’S TRUTH AT ALL HAZARDS.

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

Know what you mean. Basically there with my sister. Is your sister a loudmouth know nothing, knowing nothing about vaccine deaths and injuries, oblivious to creeping tyranny, accepting the dominant narrative like a lemming, staring at her phone with her mouth open, no critical thinking?
