This is The Confederation Report, a weekly analysis of Canadian news and culture from a Biblical worldview.Excerpt: Christ is Lord over all things—yes, even over Caesar. We believe the Gospel we proclaim changes lives. And if we disciple believers in a holistic, full-orbed Gospel—Christ for all of life—we should expect to see culture and society change as well.Opening Words (00:00-00:35)Part I: Bill C-9 and the Lordship of Christ (00:35–05:17)The Liberal government, with the support of the Bloc Québécois, has moved to remove Canada’s long-standing religious-text exemption from the Criminal Code’s hate-speech laws. This exemption has historically protected Canadians who speak “in good faith” from Scripture or other sacred texts—even when addressing controversial moral topics. Under new amendments tied to Bill C-9, that defence would be eliminated, meaning religious expression itself could be exposed to hate-speech prosecution.Part II: Property Rights Out the Door (05:17–09:09)A recent court ruling recognized an Indigenous title claim over a defined area of land in the Lower Mainland, land upon which hundreds of Canadian homeowners have long held ownership. While the ruling itself does not immediately dispossess residents of their homes, it has exposed a profound failure of government leadership. Part III: A Heritage Older Than We Knew(09:09–11:43)Would you believe me if I told you that Christianity may have reached Canada well before the French and the English? Did You Know? (11:43 –13:04)Recent scientific research has established with remarkable precision that Norse explorers were present in what is now Canada in the year 1021 AD, exactly one millennium ago.
