Print PDF: Canada IS a Christian Nation

The Constitution Act, 1867, specifically the preamble to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms states, “Whereas Canada is founded upon principles that recognize the Supremacy of God and the Rule of Law.“ The opening words to the Charter are the framework principles (Christian biblical principles based on God, the Creator) through which the Charter is to be interpreted and supersedes any other sections (ie items listed under “General”) that suggest otherwise. The Coronation Oath is enshrined in law and is founded on the Protestant faith and Biblical principles. The PDF document above provides the evidence—based on our founding documents, 25 scriptures etched into our parliament buildings, included in our National Anthem, Supreme Court rulings and much more. Print the PDF and share it with others, including elected officials. 

For example, Section 27 states, “This Charter shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the preservation and enhancement of the multicultural heritage of Canadians”, however this does nothing more than acknowledge that there are people from many societies who are a part of the country. Despite this, the government, courts and Human Rights Tribunals are using it out of context to give foreigners the latitude to prioritize their foreign belief systems/religions, which violates the government’s commitment to a Christian standard of living. Hon. Peckford has previously confirmed that Section 2(a), Freedom of Religion, was added to prohibit the government from interfering with religion based on the Christian God and not for other religions to set up camp and/or take precedence. 

The Hon. Brian Peckford, former Premier and the last surviving architect of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, joined Tanya Gaw on this Empower Hour December 2024, to absolutely confirm the fact that Canada IS a Christian nation: a country founded on Judeo-Christian biblical principles that are embedded in our Magna Carta and Constitution and form our laws and our values.

It is critical to document history. Did you know? Former PM Pierre Elliot Trudeau had a plan to divide Canada and undermine our democracy by declaring that we are a multicultural nation. This is in violation of the Coronation Oath (see below) and therefore must be revoked.  

Whether you are a Christian, agnostic, atheist, lgbtq or from a different religion, you should be aware that the freedom and democracy that we enjoy does not exist in any country other than those founded on Christianity. The biblical principles that form our laws and values are the basis of a system of governance that sets us apart from totalitarian, extremist and communist regimes, giving Canadians the freedom to believe, or not believe, without fear of persecution, oppression or even death.

If you are at odds with this statement then we challenge you to look at the 56 Islamic majority countries or Pakistan, North Korea, China, India, etc. There are good people living in those nations but they are ruled by oppressive regimes, such as communism or Sharia law.

It is therefore in the best interest of all Canadians to understand how critical it is to put all our differences aside, and fight to preserve the foundation of this nation!
