This is The Confederation Report, a weekly analysis of Canadian news and culture from a Biblical worldview.Part I: Secularism is Growing (0:05-5:00)While Canada outwardly maintains a veneer of religious pluralism, recent developments—especially in Quebec—reveal an aggressive shift toward secularism that increasingly marginalizes public expressions of faith, particularly Christianity, under the guise of state neutrality.Part II: Where have we seen this before? (5:03-8:51)As secular governments move toward outlawing public—and even silent—prayer under the guise of neutrality, the story of Daniel reminds us that true faithfulness to God dares to kneel in prayer even when it becomes illegal, trusting that the fear of the Lord outweighs the fear of man.Part III: Dare to be a Daniel (8:55-11:37)In an age when secularism demands silence and conformity, the 19th-century hymn Dare to Be a Daniel resounds with fresh urgency, calling Christians—like one bold evangelist in a Canadian bank—to stand firm, speak truth, and live faithfully under the lordship of Christ, even when it means standing alone. Did You Know? (11:41-13:06)The American philosopher H. Evan Runner helped bring Reformational philosophy to Canada, calling Christians to reject secularism and embrace God’s sovereignty over all of life—most notably through his influential Unionville Lectures. Recommended Reading (13:09-13:43)This week’s recommended resource is The Collected Works of H. Evan Runner—a four-volume set that offers rich insight into Reformational thought, equipping Christians to engage culture with a bold, Christ-centered worldview. Follow the Cántaro InstituteX | Instagram | Facebook | YoutubeFor more information, go to cantaroinstitute.orgFor books on worldview, philosophy and theology, go to cantaroinstitute.store
