Join Action4Canada founder Tanya Gaw on this week’s Empower Hour as she welcomes Oklahoma State Senator Shane Jett, an outspoken ally standing with Canadians in defence of our Christian heritage, sovereignty, and freedom.

Canadians are being urged to keep their “elbows up.” But slogans cannot protect a paycheque, keep a business operating, or replace the economic and security partnership built over generations with the United States. Loving Canada means demanding leadership that protects our country’s interests—including a productive working relationship with our most important ally.

The consequences of a fractured relationship are already reaching Canadian businesses and families. A July KPMG survey found that 29 percent of the manufacturers surveyed had moved some or all production to the United States. Respondents cited tariffs, trade uncertainty, lower operating costs, and a more favourable tax environment among their reasons. Canadians need competitive conditions at home and determined diplomacy abroad. Political bravado delivers neither.

Our relationship with America reaches beyond trade. Our nations share a rich Judeo-Christian heritage, deep family connections, and generations of military cooperation that have strengthened our security. Preserving that friendship is an act of responsibility to Canadians.

Yet Carney is deepening Canada’s strategic partnership with Communist China. Canadians should challenge the wisdom of drawing closer to a dictatorship while relations with our democratic neighbour deteriorate. Our prosperity, sovereignty, and security deserve more than an “elbows up” campaign.

Senator Jett offers a timely reminder that Canada has friends in America who care about our country and are willing to speak out. His letter to Canadian parliamentarians challenged Bill C-9 and government interference in the teaching of Scripture. That letter led to a productive meeting with Tanya and collaboration on a second letter directly addressing Prime Minister Carney.

Join us as we discuss what Senator Jett witnessed during his recent visit, why he is standing with Canadians, and why defending our Christian foundations and rebuilding trust with our American neighbours matter to the future of both nations.
