The Dominion Report is a weekly newsletter committed to bringing you the most important stories for Canadian Christians to consider as they seek to live faithful lives in the communities in which God has placed them. Our goal is to apply the principles of the Christian faith to current events by offering thoughtful analysis from a biblical worldview—speaking the truth while demonstrating kindness, respect, and intellectual charity. Our team is composed of faithful Christians who are committed to the authority of God’s Word and hope to see the Christian worldview applied to the public square. Each week we publish a new edition where you'll find individual summaries of the week’s most important stories followed by a brief overview of the story’s worldview implications. We then share these stories throughout the week on our social media. However, not all of our content makes it here, so make sure you subscribe to the weekly email! #Canadian #Christian

In addition to becoming the first Premier in Canada to publicly oppose unchecked gender ideology, Premier Higgs has consistently stood for life. He is a good Premier, a better man, and a stalwart defender of life. Without him, more children would now be dead. #cdnpoli

Canadian Christians must wisely discern which media sources to trust by weighing individual stories. We must also ensure that regular Bible reading precedes our media consumption. Error will be more easily identified when truth is our close acquaintance. buff.ly/3taZ0AE

Suspect arrested for arson over Regina parish burning: Police have arrested a 31-year-old man in connection to last week’s arson of the Blessed Sacrament Parish in Regina, Saskatchewan. In video footage of the incident, a masked man, who police believe to be Jordan Willet, can be seen emptying a jerry can inside an entryway to the building. Willet has been charged with “arson with disregard for human life, disguise with intent, and two counts of failure to comply with a probation order.” This is one of only a handful of arrests made in connection with the over 95 arson and vandalism attacks on church buildings since 2021. #QuickHit #cdnpoli #skpoli

Alberta Bans Transgender Surgery for Minors, Protects Women’s Sports dominionreport.ca/victory-in… #Trans #abpoli

As Christians, we should pray for all these leaders to remain strong in their commitment, and we should become examples of love toward anyone, especially any child, who is struggling with gender confusion. #Christ #cdnpoli

The majority of Christians and, indeed, most Canadians understandably believe that meaningful steps to block children from accessing violent and degrading sexual content are a good thing—much like blocking children from smoking, drinking or doing drugs. #cdnpoli #Christian

An Alberta father is desperately attempting to halt his daughter’s assisted suicide after the 27-year-old daughter, who has autism, disclosed no reasons for her decision. #Cdnpoli #AssistedSuicide #DominionReport

Alberta Town Bans Pride Crosswalks dominionreport.ca/the-true-e… #abpoli #Pride

Assisted suicide is now Canada’s fifth-leading cause of death, cutting lives short and teaching Canadians that life is worthless in the absence of health. #cdnpoli #death

Some Canadians, having seen previous Liberal abuses of power, are concerned that any government control is a bad thing. We cannot, however, allow the failings of the existing government to stop us from fulfilling our duty to protect the children God has entrusted to us. #cdnpoli

While some Christians might be worried that confronting people with an unpleasant truth is unloving, the Bible commands us to "open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all who are destitute" (Prov. 31:8). There is no one more helpless and voiceless than the unborn. Speaking up on their behalf is not only just, it could be described as mandatory. #cdnpoli #abortion

Christians living in democratic societies should understand that they bear responsibility for the actions of the governments they elect. #Christian #Politics

Whether or not we do indeed end the practice of abortion before Christ’s return, we know it will end for all time at Christ’s return. Thus, when we fight for life, we are fighting as those who cannot lose. Do not lose heart. #cdnpoli #prolife

The scale of the ArriveCAN scandal is unprecedented in CA history. The Harper-era Duffy Affair accounted for $90,000+ in improper expense claims, while the infamous Chretien-era Sponsorship Scandal was over a “mere” $3 million—18 times less than ArriveCAN’s $54 million. #cdnpoli

Pornhub’s response should raise alarms for Canadians. It’s fair to ask: why are underage viewers so crucial to the success of their business plan? #cdnpoli #minors

It’s shocking that a teacher could be fired for telling a parent that their child is using drugs, or that a teacher had to go to court to fight for the right to tell a parent that their child is socially transitioning. #cdnpoli #parentalrights

The human heart is designed for worship and there is no politician or voter who enters the public square without deep-seated beliefs and religious obligations. The question is not whether voters and elected officials drag their gods into the political process, but which gods.

Every provincial government in Canada has the opportunity to remove abortion funding, require parental consent for abortions, mandate waiting periods before an abortion appointment, and countless other opportunities to limit abortions in their jurisdiction. #cdnpoli #Canada

2023 brought a variety of “big news stories.” A few will have long-lasting consequences in the years to come. Here are four stories that changed Canada’s cultural landscape: dominionreport.ca/the-top-fo…

Christians should look to Lametti’s example for one thing: the effectiveness of a person in authority convicted of their beliefs. It took one man to cause untold damage. Repairing it might be daunting, but with faith in an Almighty God, it is far from impossible. #cdnpoli #faith

Anti-Pornography Bill Passes House of Commons Vote The Story: A Bill implementing meaningful age verification to protect children from online pornography has passed Second Reading in the House of Commons, sending it to the committee stage. 1/5

Some legitimately destructive materials (such as pornography aimed at children) should be removed from schools. Good books with hard ideas, however, should not. #cdnpoli #bcpoli

Alberta opts out of national pharmacare program, highlights abortion pill coverage: Alberta will join Quebec in opting out of the Liberal-NDP national pharmacare program, instead continuing their own program. A key aspect of the national program is coverage of contraceptives—which was included in negotiations even before life-saving medication such as insulin. Alberta Health Minister Adriana LaGrange, in an apparent attempt to pre-empt criticism from abortion advocates, trumpeted Alberta’s coverage of “over 50 oral contraceptives, intrauterine devices, and emergency contraceptives.” “Emergency contraceptives” is a term used for the abortifacient commonly known as Plan B. LaGrange also specifically named the abortion pill Mifegymiso as a drug covered under the plan. Adriana LaGrange is a former President of Red Deer Pro-Life and board member of Alberta Pro-Life. #QuickHit #cdnpoli #abpoli

Christians now have an opportunity to demonstrate how Canada’s departure from Christian sexual ethics has weakened men, shattered women, and victimized children. Moreover, we can point others to the forgiveness and hope found in the gospel of Jesus Christ. #cdnpoli #Christ

Federal Conservative Leader Defends Alberta Gender Policies dominionreport.ca/it-matters… #abpoli #cdnpoli

Gender ideology is slowly being unmasked and shown to be what it has always been: the ultimate rebellion against God the Creator. We must pray that the mask will be torn off soon. #UK #Transgender

The Federal Government’s willingness to provide funding to radically progressive groups while denying similar funding to Christian charities demonstrates the myth of “secular neutrality.” A public square cannot be completely devoid of all religious truth claims. #cdnpoli

Each embryo “discarded” in the IVF process is a human being created in the image of God with a distinct genetic makeup, family history, and future—both temporal and eternal. #cdnpoli #bcpoli

The tragic story out of Montreal shows the danger of men with wicked intentions abusing legitimate authority...Those men deserve the full weight of human justice—and certainly more than eight months in prison. #cdnpoli #polqc

The sad effects of “safe supply” and “harm reduction” policies—including the expansion of tent cities and the proliferation of mentally absent people filling city streets—are clear evidence of the false worldview presented by secular progressivism. #skpoli #HarmReduction

We should not be surprised that, as Christ promised, the world will hate all who witness to Him: “...you will be hated by all for my name’s sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved” (Matt. 10:22). #cdnpoli #Christian

The successful public pressure campaign that led to the requirement’s recension is a sign that positive pressure on public entities and political organizations is still a valuable method of pushing back against attacks on basic morality. #cdnpoli #Alberta

The Bible does not have any category for “lone-ranger” Christians who walk in isolation from their fellow believers. God gave his people local churches to help us persevere in the faith, spur one another on to good works, and remind us of God’s promises in Christ. #mbpoli

The Significance: Reporters, including David Menzies, have been arrested before in Canada, and sometimes justly so. But never before have the police been caught in such an obvious, egregious, highly documented assault on freedom of the press. #cdnpoli

According to a new audit, 76% of contractors on the Liberal Government’s COVID-era border enforcement app, ArriveCAN, did “not perform any work” on the project. #cdnpoli #lpc

This poll is also a sad reminder that parental consent—which is required for a child to receive light painkillers, get a tattoo, and more—is not required for the irreversible, life-altering decision to abort a pre-born child. #cdnpoli #parentalrights

These stories underline the vital importance of the parental rights legislation being enacted around the country and highlight the need for those rights to be expanded into other provinces like Ontario and Quebec. #cdnpoli #onpoli #polqc

It is a welcome surprise—and a testament to the overreach of gender ideologues—that socially libertarian Conservatives like Danielle Smith and Pierre Poilievre are standing strong on an issue of morality. #cpc #ucp #cdnpoli

The Story: The Prince George RCMP is urging parents to talk to their children about the prevalence of sextortion after a 12-year-old boy committed suicide in Prince George, BC. 1/5

Reports from CSIS state that, despite being cleared in the initial screening, Qui “repeatedly lied” when questioned about her CCP ties. She did covert and unapproved work with members of the Chinese military, was likely a member of the CCP’s “Thousand Talents Program”, and allowed two unvetted Chinese scientists into the Winnipeg lab. Qui and Cheng were fired and escorted off the premises due to the CSIS investigation. #cdnpoli #China

Rather than encouraging intellectual challenge to see which claims are most accurate, secular progressivism requires the suppression of contrary ideas—knowing that the ideals of secularism will never be able to withstand the light of the truth. #cdnpoli #truth

The so-called pro-choice movement began by fighting for a woman’s “choice” to either abort her child or carry the child to term. Today, however, the choice façade has given way to a fully one-sided defence of abortion. #mbpoli #abortion

According to a report from The Catholic Register, the Federal Government has granted Canada Summer Jobs funding to SexEd Mart—a Montreal-based sexual education entity with ties to Planned Parenthood.

"Open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all who are destitute. Open your mouth, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy." - Proverbs 31:8-9

Like transgenderism, transhumanism is a rejection of Man as created in God’s image, a denial of the eternality of the soul, and a Gnostic rejection of the body as integral to the person. It replaces God with Man and demands that he seize control of nature. #transgender #ElonMusk

A doctor in Quebec has been disbarred for three months after telling a biological woman that she is, in fact, a woman. The patient, who claimed to be socially transitioned, stated a desire to receive hormone treatments in order to physically transform into a “male body.” 1/3

The decision to elect the NDP had consequences. When participating in an election, Christian voters should examine the biblical purposes for government and vote accordingly rather than using their vote as an opportunity to express themselves or vent frustration. #cdnpoli #abpoli

THE STORY: City Councillors in London, Ontario, are continuing their attempt to ban abortion victim photography despite warnings from City staff that they may not be able to implement the ban. The Community and Protective Services committee expressed its displeasure with a staff report that states any attempts to ban the so-called “graphic images” would be almost impossible to implement and would likely fail freedom of speech challenges under the Charter of Rights. In response to the report, all but one councilor demanded the staff “do more work” to find a way to implement a ban. THE SIGNIFICANCE: The persistence of the London councillors highlights how, even in our contentious times, some people are able to handle a diversity of opinions on anything but abortion. As the one dissenting councilor pointed out, Canadians are currently using graphic images of people being harmed in Israel, Ukraine, and around the world in order to draw attention to atrocities and call for action. And yet showing the violence committed against our youngest, most vulnerable citizens is simply going too far for Canadians who don’t want to accept the violent, bloody effect of abortion on precious babies. While some Christians might be worried that confronting people with an unpleasant truth is unloving, the Bible commands us to “open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all who are destitute” (Prov. 31:8). There is no one more helpless and voiceless than the unborn. Speaking up on their behalf is not only just, it could be described as mandatory. #cdnpoli #onpoli

Freedom is only found in recognizing the horrors of our behaviour, repenting of our wickedness, and trusting in Jesus Christ to pay the penalty for our sin. This is the message that women considering abortion (and their associated men) desperately need to hear. #mbpoli #abortion

The right to religious freedom is culturally secondary to the right to do what you want with your own body. This is a primary tenet of the progressive religion. #polqc #AssistedSuicide #Cdnpoli
