When I first read Father Raymond J. de Souza’s opinion piece in Canada’s National Post, entitled “New report recommends turning the Armed Forces into a secular theocracy,” I thought was reading a clever satire about the reductio ad absurdum of woke thinking when applied to the military. It was an effort for me to wrap my mind around the fact that he was describing the Canadian “Minister of National Defence Advisory Panel on Systemic Racism and Discrimination—Final Report—January 2022.”
The Panel concluded that all traditional Abrahamic religions that haven’t embraced the LGBTQ+++ pantheon, radical feminism, or polytheism have no place in Canada’s armed forces.
Upon perusing the Final Report , you know how the wind is blowing for traditional religion in the Canadian Armed Forces (“CAF”) when read that each Advisory Panel meeting begins with a prayer.
One might expect a nice ecumenical prayer giving thanks for all the blessings in our world but that’s too bland for the Ministry of Defence’s panel:
[F]ollowing a valued tradition from many First Nations, Inuit and Métis, we use a short form of the Haudenosaunee Ohenten Kariwatekwen, the “words spoken before all others.” It helps us clear our minds, honour creation, and remember our responsibilities towards the land, its peoples, and our mission.
Most importantly, it brings our minds together from the various individual journeys we are all on so that we can walk together for a short time.

I’m pretty sure He got disgusted and already left.
If you’re detecting a purely pagan hostility to the Judeo-Christian tradition, you’re correct. That bias is consistent with the Advisory Panel’s mandate, which is to root out anything hostile to the people and values of the left.
“All forms of systemic racism and discrimination, including anti-Indigenous and anti-Black racism, LGBTQ2+ prejudice, gender bias, right-wing extremism and white supremacy are exhibited within the CAF”—and they must go.
I wonder where I would go to read multiple accounts of what happens when a people turns their backs on God.....?
Poor Oh Canada!
Because having the Creator of the entire Universe on your side is somehow bad.
When the Hebrews turned to paganism in the old testament. Rhetorical answer.
Well, Canada’s toast if they do that.
I am in awe of how far the CAF has fallen and will continue to slide. They will make the Russian armed forces look like rolling giants on the planet. Oh, wait…
Godless Marxists?
It will soon get to be a troop of Boy Scouts supported by the sea scouts will be able to whip the CAF. Not that the CAF could not fight but they will not have the equipment nor the will to get out of bed.
I just read another post where Ukraine’s Zelensky declared “the West has lost its courage.”
And Canada, whose only religious zeal is expressed in socialist central-planning, gay rights, and multi-culuralism - by removing any final words of respect towards God - is going to become a fearsome military power?
LOL. LOL. LOL.

I have sent a few quips about the CAF, but I am really saddened by the fall of a great institution with a long line of people of courage and honor being dragged down by ideologues, poor thinkers, and groupthink committees.
Obviously these advisors have never been in a foxhole.
Yeah good call canana, because history teaches that it is never a good idea to have God on your side when fighting battles /s

Never listen to anyone who has a pussy hat on they are full mode crazy.
There are no atheists in foxholes.
