Action4Canada - Building an Army of Like-Minded Canadians

00:00:00.000 Heather is going to introduce Kim, and I'm just so delighted. Go ahead, Heather.

00:00:08.380 Thank you, Tanya. I am so pleased to introduce you to Kim McBride, Action for Canada's National

00:00:14.080 Chapter Coordinator. Kim has been following Action for Canada's call to actions since early 2020.

00:00:21.040 In July of 2021, she became the Calgary Chapter Leader, and a year later, she took on the job of

00:00:28.200 National Chapter Coordinator. She is the mother of teenage girls, a teacher, and a woman of faith

00:00:34.960 who believes in the power of prayer. We are so excited that Kim can join us this evening.

00:00:40.440 Will you all please help me welcome Kim McBride. Hello, Kim.

00:00:47.100 Oh, hello, Heather. Hi. Hi, Kim. All right. Thank you, Heather. You know, Kim, I'm just,

00:00:53.940 before I hand it over to you, I just want everybody to know how delighted I am to be here

00:01:01.020 with you tonight. It's just such an honor. Kim had started out as a chapter leader. I can't wait to

00:01:06.800 hear her testimony, and many of you are familiar with Ron, who had been our pastor lead, and in

00:01:13.620 August of 2021, we took a shift, and I said, Ron, you know what? I think we need to focus on chapter

00:01:18.800 leaders, and he got busy, and he started vetting this long list of chapter leaders, and he just

00:01:23.960 naturally became the National Chapter Leader Coordinator, and we felt months ago that it was

00:01:29.180 time to get Ron back on the pastors, and Kim was sort of this cream rising to the top with her

00:01:35.880 leadership skills and her really good understanding of what it would entail to support and lead the

00:01:44.240 chapter leaders across Canada, and so we reached out to Kim. She agreed, and boom, here she is, and so

00:01:50.780 Kim, I just love you so much. We're just going to hand the floor over to you, and you tell us more

00:01:55.780 about your journey. Oh, well, thank you so much, and thank you for those kind words, and yeah, it's a

00:02:01.780 roller coaster, right? You just get on it, and away we go. So one of the things I've said often is that

00:02:07.800 Action for Canada was the locomotive going down the track, but we were building it as we were moving

00:02:12.820 along, and it's been such an incredible journey to come along with you, Tanya, and you're an

00:02:20.000 inspirational leader, and you pull out the best in us, and it's really great to see so many Canadians

00:02:27.820 of all stripes, all walks of life, all ages, generations, pulling together for that common purpose of

00:02:35.680 protecting our faith, family, and freedom in this country. So it is a real honour to be in this position, and

00:02:42.080 a little overwhelming, and definitely quite humbling. So just to give you a little bit of my

00:02:48.700 background, and then I'm going to be happy to get on to introducing our chapter leaders, but I, yes,

00:02:56.180 I am a teacher by profession, currently not working in that. Of course, there was the mandate issue,

00:03:03.460 and various other things that, and I wasn't happy in the public system for many reasons, and I knew I

00:03:12.860 was going to be moving on anyways, but when I was going back through my emails, cleaning out my inbox

00:03:20.480 from three years ago, I was thinking, when did I first get connected to Action for Canada, and believe

00:03:25.600 it or not, it was, it predated the plandemic. It started by, I got an email where you were doing a

00:03:33.180 petition, and somehow it came through the inbox, and in some way I was able to click on it, and I started

00:03:39.420 following, I think, at that point, and I had my email address in the database, which I'm now very familiar

00:03:44.980 with, and so it didn't surprise me then in October of 2020, that your, the rally that you were at, Tanya,

00:03:56.340 where you were, you did the call to action, and you called upon Canadians to help support the legal

00:04:03.280 action that Action for Canada was taking with Rocco Gulati and the constitutional challenge because of

00:04:10.040 all the mandates, so, and it was really that point where I said, this, this, there's light in the

00:04:16.260 darkness. I'm going to betray my bias. I'm a Calgary-born and Alberta-raised, and I figured

00:04:22.900 nothing good could come from the left coast. Please forgive me, BC. I think you're lovely people, but

00:04:28.320 at any rate, I thought, if the light can shine so brightly in, in a place that I was, that I thought

00:04:35.840 was so dark, then, then surely there's hope for this nation, and so that was really the inspirational

00:04:41.820 point for me. I'd always been a person that, you know, questioned whatever I was being told, and if

00:04:48.960 too many people shouted too loudly on a particular issue, or everybody was trying to draw attention to

00:04:54.700 a particular issue, I always was the person who was looking the other way, just to see, well, what are

00:05:00.060 they distracting us from? So, that's kind of my personality anyways, a little bit skeptical,

00:05:04.520 critical, and critical in, in the information that I consume. So, that was the reason why in

00:05:10.820 February, believe it or not, of 2020, I would have come across some of the work that you were doing

00:05:16.220 already. So, following it along through the, the pandemic, and seeing how it was rolling out, and

00:05:21.860 then being a teacher in the public system, with these mandates, and seeing how it affected the

00:05:26.160 children, it was just so heartbreaking, and knowing, because I had, you know, done research in all

00:05:33.620 sorts of platforms, and, and getting multiple voices on a, on a perspective, you know, I just

00:05:41.900 wasn't buying it, what was, what was being said. So, when I saw you, Tanya, the most pivotal part of

00:05:47.340 that, me being a person of faith, is when you took your knee, and you said, before everybody, you know,

00:05:54.500 that if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and

00:05:59.220 turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven. And that was from, from Chronicles,

00:06:03.640 and that's a biblical verse from Chronicles. It was that, that kind of, I think you've mentioned

00:06:08.560 before, Tanya, it was like a ripple went out, and I certainly felt the wave of that here in Calgary.

00:06:13.700 And, and that's the, the grace of God. So, first and foremost, in order to get ourselves

00:06:18.880 right in this country, one with another, we need to, as individuals, get ourselves right with our

00:06:24.800 creator, and, and be in right relationship with him. So, for me, that was just phenomenal. And I

00:06:30.120 thought, wow, I'm going to watch this lady a little bit more, and just see where she goes. And so,

00:06:34.260 then in the spring of 21, you put out the call, and you said, you know, I really feel like we need

00:06:40.100 to do these, you know, build up the chapters. And, and at that time, I think there was nine in BC.

00:06:46.100 And I thought, well, surely, there's one in Calgary, you know, Bible Belt, you know, Alberta,

00:06:50.640 surely there's got to be some, and there wasn't yet. And I thought, okay, well, I'll just stick my

00:06:56.500 hand up. And so, that's what I did. I stuck my hand up, and I had no idea what that would involve.

00:07:03.060 At that time, I had stepped away from teaching. I could see the writing on the wall with the

00:07:08.800 mandates, and I didn't want to disrupt my, my students. So, that's what happened. I stepped

00:07:13.160 away from that. And right at the same time, I put my hand up to be a chapter leader, and moved into

00:07:19.920 those, the fall, where we had to do, you know, get the word out with, with the election that was

00:07:26.480 happening. So, I started building up the chapter in Calgary. I could rely on my, I had confidence,

00:07:32.900 and I could rely on my skills as, you know, a teacher and an organizer. And I've had lots of

00:07:38.160 life experiences that helped me to, you know, see things ahead of time, and to be able to navigate.

00:07:45.060 So, and the other piece was, I wasn't too risk adverse. So, I trust and faith that all will be

00:07:54.160 well, and something will, something good will come if I just keep striking out one step at a time. So,

00:07:59.760 that led, that led me to build up the chapter in Calgary. I saw then the need to organize

00:08:06.620 provincially. And so, I kind of just, you know, got the email going to all the other chapter leaders

00:08:12.600 that started to pop up. And I said, well, we should organize something for Alberta. And then,

00:08:17.020 of course, you know, just being really active. I was super honored when a year ago, I can't believe

00:08:24.160 it's that long ago already, a little over a year ago, you had asked if I could help coordinate with

00:08:29.280 all the chapters across the country. So, that's a bit of the whirlwind. And, you know, I'm just so

00:08:35.340 excited. What I want people to get from this evening, more than anything as well, to celebrate

00:08:42.360 our wonderful leaders that I'm so proud to work shoulder to shoulder with in all our ways. We're

00:08:48.480 all one body, but we each have a part to play in it. And it's just really powerful to see coast to

00:08:54.580 coast to coast, from the river to the ends of the earth, how we're being knit together in a common

00:09:01.140 purpose. And so, that's really exciting. And I hope that people watching, maybe even for the first

00:09:05.880 time, or people that have been following for quite some time, they can see that we are really just

00:09:10.280 ordinary Canadians, all of us. And just like all of everybody else watching, we're ordinary Canadians.

00:09:16.960 The only thing that made us extraordinary and then helped, you know, to move this along was the

00:09:21.500 fact that we took one first step in something that we were passionate about. And so, I'm so delighted to

00:09:28.280 get to that, to introduce some of these fine people that all took that one first step and trusted where

00:09:35.260 it was going to go. So, we're all extraordinary at some point, when we put ourselves to focus on

00:09:44.480 that thing that we're passionate about, and that we hold dear and we treasure in our hearts. So,

00:09:50.200 so that's, yeah, that's me in a nutshell. I'm very privileged and honoured to be able to call you

00:09:54.840 friend and sister in the Lord and, and the rest of the team as well that work tirelessly behind the

00:10:01.540 scenes. And so, I'm so glad to be able to showcase some of you tonight. So, I think with that, I should

00:10:07.860 be bringing some people along. Yeah, yeah, Kim, thank you so much. And, you know, you said something that

00:10:16.540 I just want to emphasize to everybody that's viewing and will be viewing this video, is that we each have

00:10:22.800 gifts and talents. None of them are all the same. There's a verse in the Bible that talks about

00:10:27.520 the body of Christ being like the body. And every single part is so important as it functions. And

00:10:35.160 whether you end up being a greeter at the door, or whether you help with the bookkeeping, there is

00:10:40.060 something for everybody to do. And it isn't just that, again, I want to emphasize this as well, we are

00:10:46.960 asking that our chapter leaders, our Christians to lead in a manner that we believe that Canada is

00:10:54.140 foundationally built on biblical principles, but anybody can join a chapter and participate.

00:11:02.420 We need all boots on the ground, standing outside of schools, speaking to school boards, etc. So,

00:11:07.920 just please, as you go through this, be, be motivated and inspired to join us. All right,

00:11:12.540 Kim, back to you. All right. Well, I want to get right to it, because I do a lot of speaking

00:11:18.940 already on the Monday meetings. And I really want to showcase our lovely leaders that all have

00:11:24.300 different perspectives and different success stories that they can share. And I hope, again,

00:11:29.700 people watching will be able to maybe see themselves in one of our speakers. And so the very,

00:11:35.200 our first speaker tonight is Peter Wright. Peter, I will probably, yeah, there's his picture,

00:11:40.840 a lovely picture. Peter came to Canada in 2004 to escape government persecution in Zimbabwe.

00:11:47.100 When he saw similar patterns of disregard for the rule of law and oppression and persecution emerging

00:11:52.660 in Canada in 2020, he wanted to do his duty as a citizen and as a Christian. He looked for an

00:11:59.240 organization to join. And in 2021, he joined Action for Canada. Peter is the co-leader of the Oxford

00:12:05.840 County chapter in Ontario. So let us please welcome Peter. And I'm going to give him

00:12:11.860 five or so minutes or as much as you need to share with us, Peter. Good evening.

00:12:18.480 Thank you very much, Kim. And thank you.

00:12:22.100 I'll offer us for the fine example that you set. So before I go into what we've done in our chapter,

00:12:31.700 I'll just give you my personal motivation for why I got involved. As Kim said, I was a farmer in

00:12:38.340 Zimbabwe. I have been in the corporate world. I'm quite old, as you can see. I've had my own

00:12:43.700 business for many years. And for about 12 years, I was a farmer in Zimbabwe. And I experienced it

00:12:50.660 firsthand what happens when a government decides to stop following the rule of law. We had a

00:12:58.060 situation politically motivated where our government in Zimbabwe started taking away

00:13:03.740 legally owned farms, many from white commercial farmers, but also some black commercial farmers.

00:13:11.180 We realized this was going to be a problem. And we spoke to our own farmers association. And we said,

00:13:16.200 we have to make a stand. We can't accept this. And they were trying to appease the politicians.

00:13:21.180 And they said, no, no, no, there's going to be a few farms taken in one part of the country. It's

00:13:25.760 political. It won't spread. And we said, you know, this is Africa. It will spread. So long story short,

00:13:31.880 it did spread for over three years. On my farm, we faced three years of intimidation,

00:13:37.540 trying to force us off the farm, death threats, labor beaten up, widespread theft. And finally,

00:13:43.540 we were barricaded into our security fence for days at a time. The police tried to arrest me

00:13:49.140 three times. At that point, we were the last operating farm out of a district, the second last

00:13:54.160 of 43, formerly 43. So the police eventually got me when I went to the village, threw me in a

00:13:59.400 prison, a police cell for three days and nights and dragged me into kangaroo court and said,

00:14:04.540 when you agree not to go back to your farm, we'll let you go. So I'm not looking for sympathy. What I'm

00:14:08.120 trying to say to you is, if you don't make a stand, it costs you dearly. If you do make a stand,

00:14:13.440 it can also cost you dearly, but at least you can sleep at night and wake up with a clear

00:14:18.080 conscience. So I was very lucky to be able to come to Canada. My eldest son had come here in 98.

00:14:23.860 He said, come and look. Canada Immigration said we could move here under humanitarian and

00:14:29.380 compassionate grounds, apply for permanent residence. So at the age of 54, my wife and I

00:14:33.720 moved here with two suitcases each, a horse saddle and eight cats between us and enough cash for a

00:14:39.220 very old F-150 used pickup. So that's the background. So when in March 2020, I saw the

00:14:47.360 propaganda about a new virus, it took me about two weeks to realize there was a fraud. This was a total

00:14:53.620 fraud. I looked around for organizations to join. I went on many rallies, many protest rallies,

00:14:59.400 Aylmer, London, Toronto, got hold of my MP, my MPP, and checked out a few organizations and

00:15:06.900 eventually signed up with Action for Canada in late 2021. That was quite interesting in that

00:15:14.060 through Ron, I was approved to set up a chapter in Woodstock. And within days, I found out we already

00:15:20.580 had an Oxford County chapter that was in the process of being set up. So we didn't want two in the same

00:15:25.460 part of the world. So we amalgamated. Donna Singer had been starting the Oxford County one. We

00:15:30.760 amalgamated. We got a core team. We got into action very quickly. We served notices of liability to

00:15:36.080 every school principal, every school board trustee, every elected official, the Medical Office of

00:15:43.400 Health and many employers in our first few months. I refused to wear masks. To this day, I've not worn a

00:15:50.960 mask once. I've even been into the hospital, had a minor surgical procedure, taken my wife to the

00:15:55.960 emergency room twice and formed very close relationships, quite intense and intimate relationships

00:16:00.840 with security personnel and come within millimeters of being arrested, but so far have not.

00:16:06.520 So we served our notice of liability. We had weekly meetings. We had access to an empty retail shop in

00:16:11.860 Woodstock, which was very convenient to have meetings. We gave advice and pointed people to resources as best

00:16:18.640 we could. We attended political rallies, both at the last election. I spoke at those rallies in my personal

00:16:26.940 capacity, but got a mention in for Action for Canada. We had a tent at those rallies where we

00:16:32.060 had some t-shirts and merchandise and gave away a lot of literature. What else did we do? That was

00:16:37.940 really it. We have started, I personally started a private information because this is a public forum.

00:16:43.660 I won't go into a lot of detail, but just to say, because of the resources available through Action for

00:16:48.720 Canada, I've been in court physically three times and on Zoom appearances another three times.

00:16:54.640 We've had some cases thrown out. We have applied for Sertiorari and Mondemus, and we've decided not to pursue

00:17:03.980 one of those, and we are pursuing another one. So this has been going on since March.

00:17:09.880 What else can I say? I think the big thing is we have to lead by example, and we have to just say no.

00:17:16.800 I was reminded of that this morning, a little motivational thing I listen to every morning.

00:17:20.920 Today they spoke about Rosa Parks, who was a black lady in the U.S. who one day said she would not

00:17:29.020 move out of the black part of a municipal bus to make way for white people, and she said not today.

00:17:36.880 And I think we have to remember that and say we could be pushed so far and no further. Say no,

00:17:41.500 not today. My five minutes is up. I hope that will inspire others. So thanks again to the leadership

00:17:47.640 of Action for Canada. Thank you, Kim. Well, thank you so much, Peter. It's really inspiring, and to

00:17:53.580 have that experience, that hard experience that trained you up in Zimbabwe. We pray that it would

00:18:01.020 never have to come to that here, but that's the reason why we work so hard, and you can speak to

00:18:07.120 the truth that that is where this leads. So thank you, Peter.

00:18:10.640 Yeah, and just Peter as well, I just want to give you such a genuine thank you. It is heart-wrenching,

00:18:21.100 but it's inspirational at the same time to hear that you came from tyranny into a country where

00:18:26.980 you thought you were going to live it out in freedom. And you, sir, are just an amazing part

00:18:32.580 of our team. And I just want to emphasize as well, you said that you're laying a private

00:18:36.520 information for those who don't know. Those are criminal charges against individuals who have

00:18:42.120 either used extortion or intimidation or somehow violated individual citizens' rights. And that's

00:18:48.160 something that Action for Canada is working on in the background. You've been very courageous.

00:18:53.200 And just again, thank you so much, Peter. Okay, back to you, Kim.

00:18:57.260 Oh, right on. Okay, well, I'm happy to get on to our next speaker. Our next speaker is Danielle

00:19:03.580 Mayotte. Danielle is our powerful and effective chapter leader for Ottawa, our nation's capital.

00:19:11.500 She is passionate in pursuit of justice and righteousness, which makes her formidable,

00:19:16.340 but she is also very caring in her approach. I am so pleased that she has enthusiastically agreed

00:19:22.480 to step into provincial leadership for the fine people of Quebec. Danielle hopes to unify

00:19:28.700 freedom-loving Québécois and inspire new chapters to take root in La Belle-Provence.

00:19:33.580 Bienvenue, Danielle. All right, Danielle, I just want to give you the floor and to take

00:19:46.220 it away. Hello. My name is Danielle Mayot. I was a junior, senior kindergarten teacher.

00:19:56.060 I was doing some experimentation studying in schools and had no longer access to school because

00:20:09.800 of mandates. As a school teacher, I feared domestic violence, abuse, and mental illness and found

00:20:19.340 action for Canada. Tanya was an inspiring person, ready, relentless, and genuine. I immediately offered to

00:20:35.580 volunteer and I'm now the proud leader of Action for Canada Ottawa and provincial coordinator for

00:20:49.260 Quebec. I will continue in French a bit. Bonjour, je m'appelle Danielle Mayot. J'ai été enseignante

00:20:58.260 de maternelle, genre d'enfant, première année. Et puis, quand j'ai été très inquiète quand les mandats ont commencé. Et c'est à ce moment que j'ai trouvé Action for Canada et Tanya, qui étaient engagées,

00:21:18.260 engagées, à protégées, la foi et la famille et la liberté. Je suis maintenant leader à Ottawa et coordonnatrice de la province du Québec. Et c'est un honneur véritable pour moi.

00:21:42.420 Following Tanya's lead, we have become more sophisticated and have been equipped to expand our reach. In winter 2021, I started by setting up notices of liability signing parties.

00:22:02.420 And we have successfully served notices of liability to four Ottawa school boards, public Catholic French and English in Ottawa.

00:22:16.420 You have been maybe more aware of the latest where OCD SB school board trustees have attempted to bring back mandates.

00:22:34.420 TV News picked up the story and we were very grateful for Action for Canada for providing the necessary tools to fight back. And we served each school board trustee with notices of liability and unlawful mask mandate.

00:23:01.660 We were so happy when one of us said, we will hold you personally liable.

00:23:11.660 You just got served. This was a very important day for us.

00:23:21.660 And we are still aware that the fight is not over.

00:23:33.660 Plus tard, un peu plus tard, la semaine dernière, nous avons réussi à organiser une initiative où les parents, les grands-parents et les citoyens ont présenté à douze conseillers scolaires du Ottawa Carleton District School Board les avis de non-conseillers scolaires.

00:24:01.660 Les avis de responsabilité pour arrêter le port du masque.

00:24:17.660 Grâce à Tania et à douze conseillers scolaires, le fait d'avoir accès aux ressources nécessaires pour mener une opposition bien planifiée et organisée a été une source de soulagement.

00:24:32.660 La motion visant à rendre les masques obligatoire a été rejetée par un vote de six contre six.

00:24:40.660 Cette réunion des conseillers scolaires du conseil Ottawa Carleton District School Board a été présentée le lendemain aux nouvelles.

00:24:50.660 Action for Canada, Ottawa supervise maintenant le conseil scolaires dans notre combat contre le port du masque et l'introduction de la citoyenneté numérique au CDSB.

00:25:18.660 Another great win this summer was the mayoral debate discussing the climate change programme,

00:25:35.660 which had a $60 million price tag.

00:25:39.660 With the support of Ottawa scientist Tom Harris,

00:25:43.660 who offered to coach some of us with crucial questions debunking,

00:25:50.660 to debunking the narrative beliefs and opinions in favour of evidence facts, critical thinking and data action for Canada was able to play an important role in the awareness to citizens of Ottawa.

00:26:13.660 Lors des élections municipales, les candidats à la mairie d'Ottawa ont pris position lors d'un débat pour débattre des questions au sujet des changements climatiques,

00:26:31.660 un coût estimé de 60 milliards de dollars avec l'appui du scientifique d'Ottawa Tom Harris qui a offert son soutien pour nous aider avec des questions cruciales.

00:26:47.660 Lors des élections municipales, le groupe Action for Canada ici à Ottawa a réussi à jouer en faveur de la pensée critique

00:27:05.660 et a réussi à jouer un rôle que nous voulons continuer à jouer ici à Ottawa.

00:27:20.660 Lors d'Ottawa, Tania, en support for Action for Canada,

00:27:27.660 teams here in Ottawa,

00:27:29.660 made the trip in support of Barry Nerfield,

00:27:32.660 opposing the sexualisation of children in the education system,

00:27:38.660 defending his right for freedom of expression.

00:27:42.660 And not long ago, I could not concentrate and standing there with Tania and other extraordinary people in Ottawa,

00:27:54.660 I felt that words could not express my happiness for being part of Action for Canada family.

00:28:04.660 En octobre dernier, Tania, voulant soutenir l'équipe Action for Canada ici à Ottawa,

00:28:11.660 a fait le voyage pour appuyer avec nous la position du conseiller scolaire Barry Nerfield

00:28:19.660 qui s'est opposé à la sexualisation des enfants dans le système d'éducation à la défense de son droit de liberté d'expression.

00:28:27.660 Debout, devant la Cour suprême du Canada, j'ai ressenti une grande fierté d'appartenir à cette famille d'Action for Canada.

00:28:42.660 Today, City of Ottawa is over a million in population

00:28:47.660 and we have now reached about a thousand people receiving our newsletter in Ottawa.

00:28:55.660 Quebec is a nation of strong and free people

00:29:02.660 and it is a privilege for me to reach out to each and every one of them.

00:29:09.660 From Gatineau to Montreal to Saint Constant, Mont Laurier.

00:29:18.660 We pray, I pray that Action for Canada francophone chapters will grow.

00:29:27.660 It touched my heart to be part of this initiative

00:29:32.660 and I know it is important for Tania and each one of us to favour unity

00:29:41.660 and to stand with Quebec in all Canadian provinces from coast to coast as one nation.

00:29:47.660 Aujourd'hui, la ville d'Ottawa compte un peu plus d'un million d'habitants.

00:29:56.660 Près de 1000 personnes à Ottawa sont inscrites pour recevoir notre bulletin hebdomadaire.

00:30:04.660 Nous avons mis en place des réseaux de communication pour se parler à tous les jours

00:30:13.660 et puis nous nous rencontrons en personne à Ottawa

00:30:19.660 et nous voulons maintenant agrandir vers le Québec, de Gatineau à Montréal, Saint Constant, Mont Laurier,

00:30:32.660 pour créer partout au Québec des chapitres Action for Canada.

00:30:39.660 I will finish by saying that I am very grateful to Tania, Sheila, Kim, Ray, Ron, Randy,

00:30:53.660 the whole team of Action for Canada and the Ottawa chapter for making this possible.

00:31:00.660 And I pray to the Lord for the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest field.

00:31:07.660 It's such a privilege to reach out to Quebec. And please, my door is always open. My phone never shuts off.

00:31:14.660 Please reach out to us.

00:31:21.660 We can share together just like we are doing presently in Ottawa. We can share together for each of us.

00:31:28.660 specific concerns that each of us have.

00:31:35.660 and the tools that we now have to fight back.

00:31:42.660 c'est un plaisir de pouvoir travailler ensemble.

00:31:49.660 c'est un plaisir de pouvoir travailler ensemble.

00:31:51.660 Oh, thank you, merci beaucoup. Thank you so much for your testimony.

00:31:58.660 And I was glad to be able to give you that time to be able to reach out to our wonderful province of Quebec,

00:32:06.660 and to be able to have you speak, and to take down those barriers that can exist with language, but not in our heart.

00:32:13.660 And so thank you so much, Danielle. And thank you so much, Danielle. And thank you, Tanya, for joining us.

00:32:22.660 Yeah, thank you again, Danielle. You are just such an amazing lady.

00:32:28.660 And I just need to emphasize and highlight that, you know, you were a part of a very small team, just a couple of you.

00:32:50.660 And each one of our teams, when we vet a chapter leader and they get going, they're left to think, OK, what do we do?

00:32:58.660 How do we reach out to our communities? And it takes perseverance.

00:33:03.660 And Danielle, you've done that. And you've been perseverant.

00:33:07.660 And because of that, there's been major wins in Ottawa.

00:33:10.660 And now you say that anytime anybody signs up with Action for Canada, you sign up to volunteer, you join.

00:33:17.660 Your postal code goes into a district that we will eventually reach out to you when we put a chapter in place.

00:33:23.660 And again, Danielle, thank you so much for what you're doing.

00:33:27.660 I love that we could reach out to our French Canadian friends tonight and communicate with them a little bit.

00:33:32.660 That's a treat. We're working on someday getting all of our notice of liability in French as well.

00:33:37.660 And again, it is just an honor and a privilege to know you.

00:33:40.660 And we're so grateful you've joined the team.

00:33:43.660 Thank you. Thank you.

00:33:45.660 Awesome. OK, so moving right along, we're going to go all the way to the West Coast.

00:33:51.660 And I want to call up next Jerry Pearson-Murray.

00:33:56.660 About a year ago, Jerry started watching the Empower Hour and exploring A4C's response to the overreach and tyrannical objectives of the Canadian government, especially their response to the so-called pandemic.

00:34:10.660 The measures that A4C were taking resonated with her and she applied to be a volunteer.

00:34:15.660 And for some reason, and she believes it was a calling from God, Jerry was asked to run by Ron to run her local chapter in Courtney, which is not what she had intended.

00:34:26.660 Out of obedience to the call, she agreed to take it on, not really having any idea what it would entail.

00:34:32.660 She is now the regional chapter coordinator for all Vancouver Island, as well as being responsible for providing information to those within BC who have indicated that they would like to start a chapter in their area.

00:34:44.660 So please welcome Jerry to the show.

00:34:47.660 Hi, Jerry.

00:34:51.660 Hi, Kim. Hi, everybody.

00:34:53.660 Yeah, it's great to be on the call today.

00:34:55.660 And yeah, I just I do want to start by saying that I actually hadn't signed up to be a chapter leader.

00:35:01.660 I'd signed on to be a volunteer and maybe some of you can resonate with that.

00:35:06.660 And all of a sudden I got put into the chapter leader position.

00:35:09.660 So, you know, I did feel initially I felt a little overwhelmed and thought, OK, well, I'm not really cut out for this.

00:35:16.660 But interestingly enough, I had done a master's in leadership five years ago, not really knowing why I would do it.

00:35:23.660 And I'm actually I was I do have a background of health care.

00:35:26.660 And I thought, OK, well, maybe this is where God is leading me.

00:35:30.660 And if he is called me, then he will equip me.

00:35:33.660 So I started the Comox chapter.

00:35:36.660 I took it over Comox Valley chapter, not really knowing what I was doing, feeling ill equipped.

00:35:41.660 You know, try to do things on my own as we do.

00:35:44.660 And then I said, OK, well, I'm going to, you know, leave this over to God and let him lead.

00:35:50.660 You know, made a few mistakes along the way, had some challenges.

00:35:53.660 But I do believe that there's nothing worthwhile in life that doesn't come with its own set of challenges.

00:35:59.660 So sort of gave it to the Lord.

00:36:01.660 And I said, OK, well, you're going to have to take it from here.

00:36:04.660 Take it from here. And yeah.

00:36:06.660 And amazingly, God has opened some incredible doors here on the island.

00:36:12.660 The first, I would say, significant door that was opened was I started attending Living Waters Fellowship Church,

00:36:19.660 which is sort of halfway between Campbell River and Courtney Comox Valley.

00:36:25.660 And I connected with Diane and Randy, who are the pastors there, who are very supportive of Action for Canada.

00:36:32.660 Diane actually took on the leadership of Campbell River and opened the doors so that we could have meetings there.

00:36:39.660 And yeah, that was an amazing connection.

00:36:42.660 And, you know, kudos, big shout out to Randy and Diane, because they have opened the doors and, you know, would not take any money.

00:36:51.660 And God has really blessed them.

00:36:53.660 And, you know, this is a great partnership.

00:36:56.660 And I would encourage if there's any other pastors or church leaders out there to open the doors, because it's an amazing way.

00:37:02.660 You have people coming to meetings that are not comfortable with the church coming to church.

00:37:08.660 And then they come to Action for Canada meetings, and then they get comfortable.

00:37:12.660 And then they come back and have been attending our church, you know, as a congregant.

00:37:18.660 So, you know, it's been a great thing for our chapter.

00:37:23.660 You know, we have monthly meetings where both chapters, the Comox Valley and the Campbell River, come together and have joint meetings there.

00:37:32.660 And then we also have meetings in our own community within the Comox Valley.

00:37:38.660 The Campbell River chapter has been particularly busy.

00:37:42.660 They're very busy little boots on the ground.

00:37:45.660 They've been serving notice of liability to doctors and school trustees.

00:37:52.660 They're the next people on their list as they plan to go to the pharmacies.

00:37:57.660 And our Comox Valley has been also serving notice of liability locally.

00:38:01.660 We've been able to reach out to school trustees, et cetera.

00:38:05.660 And, you know, we just basically try and stay abreast of what the national campaign is, what's happening in the national campaign.

00:38:13.660 But it's been awesome being able to work with both chapters together to work off each other's strengths and weaknesses.

00:38:20.660 You know, a big highlight was back in October, we had a presentation at Living Waters with Brian Peckford, who is well-loved on the island.

00:38:30.660 And I'm sure everybody on the call is aware of who Brian is.

00:38:33.660 And Tanya came over and a local doctor was an amazing presentation at Living Waters.

00:38:39.660 We had close to 400 people there.

00:38:41.660 We were singing songs, holding hands.

00:38:44.660 People were weeping, saying things like, you know, I finally found my tribe after two years, very powerful, gave people hope.

00:38:51.660 People sat three hours.

00:38:53.660 They were sitting there.

00:38:54.660 They said they didn't want to leave.

00:38:56.660 You know, this is what Action for Canada can do for the kind for people who have been feeling without hope, have been feeling hopeless, to be able to provide them with that environment.

00:39:07.660 And also, you know, again, to feel the presence of God in a place like that, it was so powerful.

00:39:14.660 And just it gave them so much hope and encouragement.

00:39:17.660 So, you know, another part of my story was I did approach Tanya about six months ago and said that I really felt that the new chapter leaders needed to be mentored and encouraged because I felt, you know, a little bit inadequate myself, as many do when you're taking this on.

00:39:35.660 And Tanya listened.

00:39:38.660 And basically, I talked myself into a position, you know, as a regional coordinator on the islands, as you do.

00:39:45.660 And, you know, helping chapters get set up, having regular meetings.

00:39:49.660 I think it's important.

00:39:50.660 We're fortunate on the island that we can meet in person.

00:39:53.660 It's small enough.

00:39:54.660 I think those are very helpful to mentor and encourage them in their new role.

00:39:58.660 And, you know, we're starting to build an amazing chapter.

00:40:02.660 I noticed there are some Vancouver Island people on the call.

00:40:05.660 We're starting to build an amazing team here on Vancouver Island.

00:40:08.660 I want to give a big shout out to Doug, who runs a great chapter in Parksville.

00:40:14.660 And he also loves to come alongside new leaders and encourage them as well.

00:40:19.660 We have obviously Diane, you know, who's also a busy pastor's wife, but is running the chapter in Campbell River.

00:40:27.660 Dan has taken over Courtney.

00:40:30.660 We have Gail in Fort Alberni.

00:40:32.660 You know, she had some personal challenges, but has now starting to get the chapter getting up and running again in Fort Alberni.

00:40:40.660 We have Pat, who's fairly new in Nanaimo and is starting to get the chapter going.

00:40:46.660 And then Klaus, who has recently started the chapter in Victoria, and that was a huge answer to prayer.

00:40:52.660 We knew that Victoria, as a provincial capital, was really in need of a leader.

00:40:57.660 And, you know, for those of you who know Victoria, the temperature, the sense in Victoria, it is very woke, very liberal, as a lot of the provincial towns tend to be.

00:41:12.660 So, you know, we knew that it was going to be a bit difficult to find a leader there, certainly from, you know, the various strongholds, et cetera.

00:41:22.660 But anyway, Klaus has stepped up.

00:41:23.660 We're super excited about Klaus.

00:41:25.660 He's starting the chapter there.

00:41:27.660 And then, you know, total answer to prayer.

00:41:29.660 And then we also have some new leaders in, I noticed some people were asking about Duncan.

00:41:35.660 So Michelle and Melody have stepped forward and they will be starting up the chapter in the new year in the Cowichan Valley.

00:41:42.660 And Ellen is also starting a chapter in Souk.

00:41:45.660 So it is amazing to see what is happening on Vancouver Island.

00:41:50.660 Just as a statistic, I'll throw out there because it is a very dark place spiritually.

00:41:56.660 Those of you who are familiar with the MAID program, I read a statistic the other day that the MAID percentage is three times the national average in Vancouver Island.

00:42:07.660 And those of you who saw that awful video that was made in Tofino promoting MAID.

00:42:12.660 So these are the challenges that we have on the island.

00:42:15.660 But, you know, I'm so grateful that people have stepped up and said yes.

00:42:19.660 And I would encourage anybody on the call, if you're in an area that you don't have a chapter, I would say just go for it.

00:42:27.660 Say yes.

00:42:28.660 Take that step of obedience.

00:42:29.660 You know, you will be equipped for everything you need.

00:42:34.660 It is overwhelming.

00:42:35.660 Initially, I would say that all of us felt a little bit, oh, my goodness, what am I doing?

00:42:39.660 But as the Action for Canada grows and more people come on board.

00:42:44.660 And like I said, I have talked to Tanya that that need for mentorship is so important when you're stepping out and so that you feel that you're not alone, that you're supported by the people around you.

00:42:54.660 And I would be the one certainly within BC if you felt like you wanted to start a chapter.

00:43:01.660 I am sort of the go to person that gives you an idea of what's involved.

00:43:06.660 And so, you know, that's the first step you take.

00:43:09.660 And then it's something to do then to go and pray about it.

00:43:12.660 And, hey, you know, you would get all the support you need.

00:43:16.660 So, you know, it's exciting to be part of an organization such as Action for Canada, you know, that's standing for justice and righteousness in our country.

00:43:24.660 You know, that's God's heart.

00:43:26.660 I'm sure everybody on this call is very aware of the government overreach, the tyrannical government and what's going on.

00:43:36.660 And like people have said already, we have to take a stand.

00:43:39.660 And even if it's a stand in your own community, which is so powerful, you know, it's people need to be encouragement.

00:43:47.660 They need hope.

00:43:48.660 They need they need people to come alongside of them.

00:43:52.660 You know, the stories I'm getting choked up now at a local level of people who needed help and have reached out.

00:43:58.660 Yeah, it's what the people need at a time like this.

00:44:02.660 So, yeah, get on board.

00:44:04.660 I would encourage you.

00:44:05.660 And and again, a shout out to churches as well to open your doors to people because it's so important right now.

00:44:14.660 Oh, thank you so much, Jerry.

00:44:16.660 Yeah, very emotional to to be bearing witness to so much of that pain, but also to be able to walk alongside people is really important.

00:44:27.660 So I'll have Tanya come back on.

00:44:29.660 I know she wants to say a couple of words to you and then we'll move on to our next guest.

00:44:33.660 Yeah, I know it's going to be a longer evening.

00:44:35.660 I hope everybody will stick with us because I feel so inspired just listening to the chapter leaders.

00:44:40.660 I'm so excited about it.

00:44:42.660 And I love your honesty, Jerry.

00:44:44.660 You know, you just wanted to be a volunteer.

00:44:46.660 And next thing you know, you had the gifts and talents to lead and you are an amazing leader.

00:44:51.660 And now you're leader over the island of giving support and coordinating.

00:44:55.660 And we just want to ask people jump full in both feet.

00:44:59.660 I as well as my testimony is I was very shy.

00:45:03.660 I would love being second in command, but don't put me the head of any organization or, you know, and but I just kept saying yes and moving forward.

00:45:13.660 And with that, we've we're creating this massive wave across Canada with all of these incredible leaders and they're not alone.

00:45:21.660 They they have support now as soon as people start joining within the community.

00:45:26.660 That's why it's important that if you don't want to lead, you join a chapter.

00:45:29.660 And now they have provincial support.

00:45:32.660 The provincial leaders have Kim and myself and our core team.

00:45:35.660 And it's just an amazing organization.

00:45:37.660 And I believe that there is strength in numbers and that's what we're building and coordinating here.

00:45:42.660 So you don't want to miss being a part of it.

00:45:44.660 So join join and sign up today.

00:45:46.660 OK, thank you, Jerry.

00:45:48.660 Love you.

00:45:50.660 All right.

00:45:51.660 OK, now I want to go from one coast, Vancouver Island to the other coast, Cape Breton.

00:45:59.660 And I would like to now have Dan Bashan from Sydney, Nova Scotia to speak.

00:46:04.660 So not only is Dan our chapter leader in Sydney, but like Jerry, he is also the chapter team leader for the Maritimes.

00:46:11.660 Dan is no stranger to the Empower Hour, having previously been a guest, a featured guest to discuss his knowledge of farming and prepping for food system disruptions.

00:46:20.660 His many skills and experience include pastoring missionary work in the Caribbean and in Romania soon after the collapse of communism.

00:46:29.660 And he is also a retired paramedic.

00:46:32.660 Since retiring, Dan has never been busier.

00:46:35.660 And we are grateful for his devotion and his service with Action for Canada to the Maritimes.

00:46:40.660 So from sea to sea, please welcome Dan.

00:46:44.660 And you can have your five minutes.

00:46:48.660 Oh, oh, five minutes now.

00:46:50.660 The time is the timers on.

00:46:52.660 Well, this is my family.

00:46:53.660 It's so good to be back.

00:46:54.660 And thank you.

00:46:55.660 And I got to mention to Kim, my my time in Brazil for three years as I wrapped up my ministry there.

00:47:03.660 So it's amazing how God has been preparing us for this moment.

00:47:08.660 This is not a surprise for him.

00:47:10.660 And I just want to share as well.

00:47:12.660 And, you know, with my time in ministry, my 17 years in ministry, my 29 years in the medical field, all throughout this time, you know, my little antennas, my red flags have been since the spring of 2020.

00:47:28.660 Things just didn't seem right.

00:47:30.660 And so in my quest to find what was going on in the world, I was looking.

00:47:35.660 I was researching as most people, as you know, some of our chapter leaders have stated on this call.

00:47:40.660 And I'm sure a lot of our our listeners were like, what in the world is going on?

00:47:44.660 What's going on?

00:47:45.660 What's going on?

00:47:46.660 And as I was researching, I came across action, something with action for Canada.

00:47:52.660 And I think the first thing that I logged on to was a pastor's call, I think, with Ron and Ron opened up with prayer.

00:48:01.660 And I remember saying, hey, hon, I found our tribe and Jerry just stole my line.

00:48:09.660 And so we began to research, you know, different things.

00:48:12.660 And one of the things that I found right away globally, there's no way that this is a health related scare thing that's going on.

00:48:20.660 But this is evil and it's orchestrated.

00:48:23.660 And this last summer I did a speech at one of our rallies and I've spoken in rallies in different provinces and that.

00:48:30.660 And this is what I discovered.

00:48:32.660 You know, every organized society has seven pillars in society.

00:48:39.660 And the thing that I love about Action for Canada, and this is why I dove in, is because Action for Canada is actually involved in helping, preserving and involved in every single aspect, every pillar of society.

00:48:56.660 And so really quickly, in five minutes or less, so start the clock now.

00:49:03.660 I want to just share with people why everybody listening on this call, this is why everybody should be involved with Action for Canada, because we're not just doing one thing or two things.

00:49:12.660 So in no particular order, so in random order, the seven pillars of society are this.

00:49:18.660 The first one is business and commerce.

00:49:21.660 So one of the first things that we did with Action for Canada, when you register as a chapter leader, you get this business package.

00:49:28.660 And I was thinking, OK, I'm going to get an envelope.

00:49:30.660 But the boxes started to come.

00:49:32.660 And in these boxes, we got all of these wonderful cards.

00:49:36.660 My camera is there on how to keep your business open, because every business is essential.

00:49:45.660 Business owners have a right to keep their businesses open and employees have a right to work, put food on their table.

00:49:52.660 And there's there's links on here to let business owners go to the links to find out, oh, my business is essential, you know.

00:50:02.660 And so that was a very important thing for me to find out, you know.

00:50:07.660 And so with these business packages, we mobilized our group to go to some businesses and say, do you realize that when people come to your these enforcers come to your business and say that you've got to make sure people have a mask?

00:50:21.660 You could say, no, I'm not enforcing that. That's your job, not mine.

00:50:25.660 I've already been served and I don't want a seventy five thousand dollar fine.

00:50:30.660 And so that's one of the things that that people realize they are protected.

00:50:36.660 So business and commerce is the first pillar of society that the government tried to attack and Action for Canada was on it.

00:50:44.660 And so that's a good thing. The second pillar of society is government.

00:50:49.660 Well, we don't have time to get go into all that tonight.

00:50:52.660 But government is supposed to protect its people.

00:50:55.660 Government is supposed to be there for its people.

00:50:58.660 But it's turned to tyranny in Canada.

00:51:00.660 You heard what what my brother had to say there who went to came came back from Zimbabwe.

00:51:06.660 By the way, I used to joke with my children when they were young.

00:51:09.660 I used to say, you know, for example, my son, Joshua, Joshua, go to Zimbabwe as a call to missions, you know, just for fun.

00:51:16.660 But I didn't realize it was that bad, you know.

00:51:19.660 So here, Peter is here escaping from that.

00:51:22.660 And now, you know, but but Action for Canada is on that as well.

00:51:28.660 And we have sat in our politicians office to inform them with our notices of liability.

00:51:34.660 We're holding them accountable.

00:51:36.660 This is the law and this is what you must do to protect us.

00:51:40.660 And this is what you must change.

00:51:42.660 You know, falling short of saying you need to repent on top of that, too.

00:51:46.660 But Action for Canada is involved in trying to set the government straight and holding them accountable.

00:51:53.660 The third pillar of society is family.

00:51:56.660 Now, this one may be a little more obscure with what we're doing.

00:52:00.660 However, we are involved in building strong family values for the sanctity of life at every stage.

00:52:07.660 You know, we value our children and that's going to come through in our education here in a minute.

00:52:13.660 But we have formed a national prayer team because we care about the needs of our people and people were discouraged and depressed through this this last almost three years.

00:52:23.660 And now, you know, with this made thing expanding in just a few months, you know, we value every member of the family and we're addressing those things.

00:52:33.660 The fourth pillar of society is education.

00:52:37.660 And I know at West, the SOGI 123 curriculum is is big.

00:52:42.660 The CSE, the Comprehensive Sexual Education, it's creeped into Ontario and there's pockets of it coming up here and there.

00:52:51.660 And you saw Tanya at the beginning there.

00:52:53.660 She showed some of the the filth there that's coming out.

00:52:55.660 And so we are addressing that, too.

00:52:57.660 We are going to these drag queen story times in our in our public places.

00:53:05.660 And we went to one here this summer.

00:53:06.660 And boy, did we have her stir the hornet's nest there.

00:53:10.660 But we have notices of liability that that we, you know, and I mean, we're doing things.

00:53:15.660 So we're addressing that in a very important way.

00:53:18.660 We've got interviews on our on our on our website.

00:53:23.660 We've got videos.

00:53:25.660 We've got empower hours.

00:53:26.660 We've got lists of books.

00:53:28.660 We're exposing the U.N. agenda.

00:53:30.660 I mean, we're involved in this.

00:53:33.660 The fifth one is church and religion.

00:53:36.660 Shame, shame, shame on those churches and pastors that have closed the houses of worship and who did not obey scripture.

00:53:47.660 But let me say this.

00:53:49.660 We serve a God who is gracious and merciful and forgiving.

00:53:55.660 And, you know, we've got the the the notice of liability that we're coming up with and the Frankfurt Declaration in a couple of weeks.

00:54:04.660 We're going to have pastors that will share their testimony.

00:54:07.660 We will say, you know, we have tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of dollars of fines.

00:54:13.660 But we kept our churches open and our churches are booming.

00:54:16.660 Wow.

00:54:17.660 You know, this is what we've been involved in.

00:54:20.660 That's exciting.

00:54:21.660 You know, in our I mean, my wife and I, we left one church because they closed down their church.

00:54:26.660 We went to another church.

00:54:28.660 And I mean, God is just blessing.

00:54:30.660 What a blessing, you know.

00:54:32.660 And so that's one of the things.

00:54:34.660 And again, on our on our website, we've got sermons from pastors that preach it right.

00:54:40.660 You know, that say, well, you know, pastors are misusing Romans 13, but Hebrews, you know, and we've got videos.

00:54:48.660 We've got Vincent Gersey teaching us how to how to address the authorities, you know, when they come and how to set them straight and how to educate them, too.

00:54:57.660 We've got a pastor's team now.

00:54:59.660 You know, we meet on Wednesdays and we've got prayer groups with pastors.

00:55:04.660 You know, I mean, I can go on and on, but, you know, I see the clock is ticking there.

00:55:07.660 OK, so number six, art and science.

00:55:10.660 So exposing the side effects of mandates, misinformation and promoting true science.

00:55:16.660 That may be a little bit less of what we're doing, but we're still addressing some of those things as well.

00:55:21.660 And number seven, the media.

00:55:23.660 Wow.

00:55:24.660 Well, we don't have a lot of money to give to true media, but you know what?

00:55:27.660 We are promoting good media.

00:55:29.660 You know, we Laura Lynn Tyler Thompson is one of our friends that we promote.

00:55:33.660 We had her here at our church just a few weeks ago, but we're exposing the legacy media.

00:55:39.660 We have notices of liability to them.

00:55:41.660 I must say we've had I've had some pretty good turnout with the legacy media here.

00:55:47.660 I've been interviewed a few times and I've been very strict with them, giving them notice of liability and say, if you're going to interview me.

00:55:53.660 And I've had four of our people inter like videotape them, videotape me.

00:55:58.660 And I say, if you take me out of context.

00:56:01.660 You videotaping me is going to go viral here.

00:56:04.660 And I know I would say this, I know where you live, so we're going to pick it outside your house.

00:56:09.660 How do you like that?

00:56:10.660 Right.

00:56:11.660 So we're holding them accountable, but we have the resources for that as well.

00:56:15.660 And we're advocating alternative and truth media.

00:56:18.660 So all that to say this, everything that's going on right now has nothing to do with health.

00:56:25.660 Certainly not.

00:56:26.660 But Action for Canada has been on the ball and just simple things like this.

00:56:31.660 You know, I've heard Tanya say this numerous times when she started this seven years ago.

00:56:35.660 She started talking about the ill effects of 5G.

00:56:39.660 And I don't think Tanya knew seven years ago that 5G would be the technology that that would be used to track you seven years later.

00:56:49.660 That's the technology they would use.

00:56:51.660 You know, in China, you know, you have to be.

00:56:54.660 That's why they want you six feet apart, because when you're also close together, they can't really identify you.

00:56:59.660 But, you know, it's such an evil plan.

00:57:03.660 But God knew and God put it on her heart.

00:57:06.660 And here we are seven years later, and we're all involved in this together.

00:57:10.660 And this is why I got involved with Action for Canada.

00:57:13.660 And that's why you should be involved with Action for Canada as well.

00:57:16.660 So that's my sales pitch.

00:57:18.660 That's why we're involved.

00:57:19.660 And that's why God is doing great things here in beautiful Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, where for the next two weeks, it's going to be above freezing.

00:57:26.660 I'm so sorry about you folks out west.

00:57:29.660 Just guys, thank you.

00:57:31.660 Oh, thanks.

00:57:32.660 Thanks for leaving us on that note.

00:57:35.660 We take whatever the Lord gives us because, you know, we can see the weight of his glory in that beautiful white snow as well.

00:57:41.660 So from sea to sea, we're very grateful for the land that we live in.

00:57:45.660 So thank you so much.

00:57:46.660 And Tanya's on just to say a couple of words.

00:57:49.660 And then we're going to try to move really quickly on to Taryn.

00:57:52.660 And I can see that we have so much to share.

00:57:55.660 So that's why we're just bustling over here.

00:57:59.660 So I'll give it to Tanya.

00:58:01.660 Thank you.

00:58:02.660 Thank you, Kim.

00:58:03.660 And thank you, Dan.

00:58:04.660 I'm sitting there in the back just having a hoot here because you are so enthusiastic and such a delight.

00:58:09.660 And I just want to give you a shout out because there's a lot of things that our chapter leaders are doing in the background.

00:58:15.660 You know, even Rebel News will report on it, but they will never report Action for Canada's part that they played in it.

00:58:21.660 And, you know, I don't understand why they do that.

00:58:24.660 They're supposed to be independent media and a friend of ours.

00:58:27.660 But there are situations like the young man, Luke, that we did a call to action for.

00:58:33.660 And a lot of people don't know that last week little Luke had passed away.

00:58:38.660 And but, you know, they became part of our family when they were having the difficulties in the hospital in having access to their son and giving him blood transfusion with potentially.

00:58:51.660 And Dan, you just jumped right in and Ken and Bonnie from New Brunswick.

00:58:57.660 Action for Canada is a family and we're a team and we are genuinely working on behalf of Canadians.

00:59:03.660 And so I like to come on after each leader and from the bottom of my heart just saying thank you so much for joining our family.

00:59:11.660 Love you.

00:59:12.660 That's awesome.

00:59:13.660 Right on.

00:59:14.660 Thank you.

00:59:15.660 All right.

00:59:16.660 Moving right along.

00:59:17.660 Our next speaker brings us back to central Canada.

00:59:20.660 And that's Terry Wrecker, who is a force to be reckoned with in the GTA.

00:59:24.660 So currently Terry heads up the OSHA chapter and most recently has also stepped into a mentorship role with the Ontario provincial team.

00:59:32.660 Terry got her start with Action for Canada by attending a rally in 2021.

00:59:37.660 Some people she met there asked if she had heard of Action for Canada and she decided to check out the website.

00:59:42.660 Seeing that Action for Canada had formed a grassroots organization to issue notices of liability to help the public.

00:59:49.660 She decided to join as a chapter leader to better help the community.

00:59:53.660 So she is also very glad that she did.

00:59:57.660 Here to share with us a few exciting accomplishments is Terry.

01:00:00.660 So welcome, Terry.

01:00:02.660 Yes, I'm very glad to be with Action for Canada.

01:00:06.660 Action for Canada has definitely all the resources that each and every one of us can use.

01:00:14.660 Everything's laid out really, really good on the website and is easy to read.

01:00:21.660 And you just have to print it off and follow instructions.

01:00:25.660 That's what I like most about it.

01:00:27.660 And I've been with Action for Canada for pretty much almost two years now.

01:00:33.660 And I just love Tanya Gaw and what she stands for.

01:00:37.660 And I'm truly blessed through God to be given this opportunity to join this family.

01:00:46.660 And one of the recent accomplishments I just want to give a little talk on is just recently around, I guess it was just before, maybe around November 10th of this year, I received an email from my Action for Canada members reaching out to me,

01:01:06.660 very concerned about what was happening with our children and that they had heard that the Durham District School Board was going to be possibly bringing back the masking mandate for the kids.

01:01:20.660 So what I did right away was my blood started to boil and I have six grandkids that are in the public system and there was no way I was going to have this.

01:01:33.660 And so I immediately jumped onto the resources that I have as a chapter leader.

01:01:40.660 And I heard that they were going to be holding a meeting on November the 15th.

01:01:46.660 The trustees that they were going to be holding this board meeting to put through a motion to the director or sorry, not the director, but the Department of Health asking them to bring back a the masking mandate to the children in the school boards in Durham.

01:02:08.400 And so what I did right away was I constructed an email and I sent it out and I stated in in in the in the email to all of the trustees, the director of education and also the superintendents that that they had no legal authority to bring a motion to bring back masking.

01:02:37.400 I explained that the minister of health of Ontario was only recommending a masking masking the children again, but it was certainly not a mandate and also it's illegal to do that to children.

01:02:52.400 I also pointed out that our children have been have greatly suffered over the past two and a half years with speech difficulties, mental health problems, anxiety and a list of other things, as well as wearing those dirty masks on their face that collect all kinds of debris and cause illnesses and cause their own respiratory problems.

01:03:15.400 So I also mentioned to them that if they didn't cease and desist, desist that I was going to be serving them one of our notices of liability on the masking and that they were going to be personally held liable for anything that happens to our children.

01:03:35.520 And so I was putting them on notice that that they that this notice of liability could also be used in any sort of legal proceedings that we commence on them.

01:03:47.300 So, uh, so, uh, what we did was, um, they decided they were going to hold a vote on November the 20th.

01:03:53.960 So all of our members, um, got on board and they all sent out NOLs call to action.

01:04:00.800 I did Tanya God joined in that action for Canada as well, and also sent out, um, uh, an action on that about the masking.

01:04:08.540 And so what we did was we hammered them.

01:04:12.360 I mean, they were so inundated by calls from all of our members and they were just like their phones were ringing off the hook.

01:04:23.260 And I was just so happy about that, that that was happening.

01:04:27.240 So what happened was we, um, before the meeting at seven o'clock, we, they gathered around at 6 PM outside the, um, main Durham district school board, um, facility.

01:04:37.720 And they, we had, um, like we had signs and there were protests going on with about maybe about 60 people.

01:04:45.940 So we also took that meeting or took this group inside when they started to, um, discuss the masking.

01:04:53.220 And, um, so the trustees were all talking about it and, uh, people in the gallery were, you know, making comments.

01:05:01.280 Um, we were very professional and, um, but we were not going to stand up for this.

01:05:07.260 We were totally against it and it was not going to happen.

01:05:10.520 So, um, what ended up happening was, um, they took the vote and we won a nine to two vote.

01:05:20.500 So I was just so thrilled.

01:05:22.760 And I just knew that God was behind all this and I give him all the glory that he just saved our children.

01:05:28.480 And I'm so happy about that.

01:05:30.480 That was just a huge win for us.

01:05:32.300 So, um, that is just something that, you know, just being with Action for Canada, being a chapter leader and just loving to, um, be in there and be on the scenes to, you know, um, assist any parents that have, you know, legal rights and give them back to the parents and not, you know, the school boards as taking over, trying to take over control, which they have no jurisdiction over whatsoever.

01:05:57.180 And I'm just not going to stand for it.

01:05:59.880 So, um, we did get the masks off the children.

01:06:02.920 They are breathing freely and I'm breathing freely.

01:06:06.740 So I just want to say that that's my, you know, my big win so far.

01:06:10.660 And now we're going to be tackling the, um, uh, the, uh, sexual, um, comprehensive program that's going on.

01:06:18.160 So we've already started, uh, notice of a liability on that.

01:06:21.780 And, um, I will be reaching out to each and every trustee to just have a little chat with them and see where they are on this.

01:06:29.760 Okay.

01:06:30.320 That's it.

01:06:31.380 Oh, right on.

01:06:32.560 Well, thank you so much, uh, Terry.

01:06:34.680 And we, we saw half of your face there.

01:06:37.280 Like, um, I'm seeing myself clear here, but, uh, there you are.

01:06:45.880 We're good.

01:06:46.380 Thank you so much for your story and for your passion and for, um, yeah, just your, your take charge kind of attitude.

01:06:53.640 I really appreciate that.

01:06:54.580 Well, um, so did we, is Tanya back?

01:06:56.940 Oh yes, Tanya, you're there.

01:06:58.280 Um, actually I just wanted to let you know, we're just bringing Tanya back on.

01:07:01.400 She's having some technical difficulties.

01:07:03.060 So unfortunately we'll just have to go on to the next.

01:07:05.860 Okay.

01:07:06.220 Well, let's do that.

01:07:07.620 Um, okay.

01:07:08.240 So next up we will, we have, uh, Laurie Bard and from Kelowna, BC.

01:07:13.600 Laurie found out about Action for Canada when she was the previous chapter leader in Kelowna, BC, sorting NOLs at his home.

01:07:22.980 Um, after hearing Tanya speak at a rally in Kelowna, she was motivated to put her name forward as a chapter leader.

01:07:29.260 Laurie's original intention was simply to be a co-leader with the previous leader.

01:07:33.980 But as happens, sorry, I'm getting, are we good, Terenzio?

01:07:41.000 Yep, we're good.

01:07:41.920 Okay.

01:07:42.200 Okay.

01:07:42.460 Thanks.

01:07:43.140 Um, as it happens occasionally, life circumstances take our volunteers in different directions, which requires a shuffle of leadership.

01:07:49.660 With the prompting of the Lord, Laurie, uh, decided to step into the role she hadn't anticipated and has found tremendous blessings of purpose and meaning in serving her community as chapter leader in Kelowna.

01:08:01.940 So earlier today, I met with Laurie to record a message of encouragement as she was not able to join us in person this evening.

01:08:10.300 So we have a video for you and we will just cue that up, Terenzio.

01:08:14.360 And please welcome Laurie.

01:08:16.240 I originally took over the chapter about the end of April.

01:08:21.640 And at first I felt so overwhelmed because Action for Canada really is covering everything.

01:08:26.380 They've got everything from empowering businesses to stay open, to helping the kids, to fighting the mandates, contacting the churches to help them to be homeschooling.

01:08:38.640 So I really was feeling a little bit overwhelmed.

01:08:41.200 So, you know, and I feel like the Lord said to me, just pick something that really resonates with you and just make one step because one step forward is, is really going to be something to build on.

01:08:51.680 And I just, it broke my heart when I heard what was happening to our kids in the schools, all the sexualization, the grooming of the kids.

01:09:00.600 And it, it just really resonated with me.

01:09:03.860 And I, so one day after the rally in Kelowna, we, I got together a group of parents and we met and formed a signal group so that we could communicate.

01:09:13.080 And we called it Parents Against SOGI.

01:09:15.700 And at one of the chapter meetings, one of the leaders shared that there was a pamphlet on the, on the chapter leader resources.

01:09:26.500 And that's the pamphlet that's shown behind me.

01:09:28.860 And so we printed some of those out and we thought, you know what, let's just do this.

01:09:33.400 Let's see how it goes and, and find out what we can do and how we can make a difference.

01:09:38.560 So we met at, I think we met at two o'clock or, or something like that at one of the schools.

01:09:43.700 And we picked one that we knew was kind of a little bit really on board with the SOGI program.

01:09:50.180 And so I think there were four or five of us and we noticed that the parents would park and they'd wait until their kids,

01:09:56.280 till it was time to go pick up their kids.

01:09:57.780 So we just tap on the window and we'd say, Hey, are you here picking up your kids from school?

01:10:02.540 And they answer yes, or grandparents.

01:10:05.860 And I would just say, you know, I'm a concerned citizen.

01:10:09.500 I pay school taxes.

01:10:10.840 And I found out that my tax dollars are going to fund a program called SOGI.

01:10:16.580 Have you ever heard of that?

01:10:18.000 And they're like, what is that?

01:10:19.500 And I said, it's sexual orientation and gender identity.

01:10:22.460 And I really feel that some of the material is inappropriate for elementary school kids.

01:10:27.800 There's graphic photos.

01:10:30.100 There's just, just subjects that are a little beyond what elementary school kids should maybe be learning.

01:10:37.920 So I felt I would come out as a concerned citizen and just let parents know what's going on in the schools.

01:10:45.200 And I have to say that it's been overwhelmingly positive.

01:10:48.360 I would say probably 95% of the parents have no idea what's going on.

01:10:53.460 And we're extremely grateful for us bringing it to their attention.

01:10:56.840 How did you hear about Action for Canada in the beginning?

01:11:01.180 I actually got to know the chapter leader from Action for Canada just at the local rallies.

01:11:07.220 And I think probably he mentioned something.

01:11:10.020 And so I went to the website and I just saw how much information they had.

01:11:14.540 And I think I went to one of the Empower Hours and I was so impressed with how well they were put together.

01:11:20.200 Some of the different quality speakers that they had.

01:11:22.940 And they really were out there informing all kinds of people about actions they could take, particularly the notice of liabilities.

01:11:31.840 And, in fact, we've used those to serve the school board trustee or the fellow that's in charge, the superintendent of the Okanagan School Board.

01:11:41.900 We did serve him with a notice of liability.

01:11:44.840 Right on.

01:11:45.120 And as an ordinary citizen Canadian, would you ever have imagined yourself being able to do the things that you're doing now?

01:11:55.380 And is it as intimidating as you thought it was at the beginning?

01:11:59.400 So how has the journey been for you as just an ordinary Canadian?

01:12:04.540 Yeah, I would have to say that I originally didn't want to step up by myself.

01:12:09.440 You know, I thought it was just too much.

01:12:10.860 I wouldn't be able to handle it.

01:12:12.060 But I found that with Tanya and with yourself, Kim, you guys really empower us to be able to do our job and to get the word out to people and to be able to support people.

01:12:24.660 I know I had somebody approach me one day.

01:12:27.420 One of the things I do rather than have chapter meetings is I just bring the tent down to the rallies that are happening that are put on by Clear.

01:12:34.380 And David Lindsay is one of the supporters of Action for Canada.

01:12:40.120 So I've just been setting up my tent down there.

01:12:42.260 And then he lets me do speeches and that sort of thing.

01:12:46.040 So that was really intimidating the first time I had to stand up and speak.

01:12:50.000 But it's also been an opportunity for people to approach me and ask me to help them out with different situations that they're going through.

01:12:57.740 So I think all the tools are there for anybody, just an ordinary person to step up.

01:13:03.680 And like I said, it's just one step that you do.

01:13:06.460 You just choose something that really resonates with you and just go with that.

01:13:10.920 And then a lot of other people come on board and want to do something different.

01:13:15.120 So I have a fellow that felt really passionate as a business owner to go out to the businesses.

01:13:20.460 So he's handing out business packages.

01:13:22.920 I did a little Zoom call with using all of the materials on the chapter website and explained how to approach the businesses, what to give them.

01:13:32.320 And so now he's kind of taken over doing that on his own.

01:13:36.780 Well, thank you so much.

01:13:39.140 If you were to give our listeners just one word of advice or just a final thought, what would that be?

01:13:47.100 Get involved.

01:13:48.060 I really feel by getting involved, it's changed my attitude towards the whole pandemic.

01:13:56.220 Instead of sitting at home and being worried and concerned about whether they're going to lock us down again, I feel like I'm doing something.

01:14:03.460 I'm doing something to help my community and to help the people around me.

01:14:07.920 And it seems like it's when you see people, they're so grateful for what Action for Canada is doing.

01:14:15.180 And I think it's very positive.

01:14:18.580 And I like that we're such a faith-based organization because I think that empowers us in a different way that a lot of other organizations don't have.

01:14:29.600 And here we have on the screen, we have Ron Rawald.

01:14:33.680 So it's my great pleasure to introduce him.

01:14:36.980 Ron began serving in 2021 to 2022 as the National Chapter Leader Coordinator with Action for Canada and was instrumental in facilitating the rapid growth of our chapters across the nation.

01:14:48.960 So midway through 2022, I was honoured to be asked to step into some very big shoes as Ron felt called to pivot his time and energy back to rallying pastors and church communities.

01:15:02.000 So currently, Ron is involved with Action for Canada as the National Pastoral Support Team Lead and Prayer Warrior Team Lead, as well as assisting with the development of our home and church schooling parent support teams.

01:15:16.760 Ron originally joined Action for Canada almost two years ago after hearing Tanya speak at a rally, proclaiming that this nation is founded on Judeo-Christian principles and that she was fighting for our God-given rights and for Canada's faith, family and freedom.

01:15:31.480 Ron comes from a lineage of strong men who took a stand for their faith.

01:15:36.440 He has three generations of pastors before him, two dying for their faith in Russia under Lenin's second and Stalin's third anti-religious campaigns.

01:15:46.520 So standing for faith is written in his DNA.

01:15:49.460 So welcome to the show, Ron.

01:15:52.980 Hello, hello.

01:15:54.740 Oh, man, it's so great to hear the chapters and many of them.

01:15:57.800 And I had the privilege and honor to vet to be a part of their chapter leader in their city.

01:16:04.580 And what a privilege it is to be a part of this organization.

01:16:08.820 As you had read there, I met, I saw, I didn't meet, but I heard Tanya speak at a rally at the end of 2020.

01:16:16.680 And I said, I've got to write my bloodline story and share it with her.

01:16:21.740 So through my wife, she found Tanya's email somehow and sent that off to her.

01:16:28.340 And within a short time, Tanya said, I'd like you to come on board to be a part of Action for Canada.

01:16:33.500 And one of the first objectives was when the lockdowns came is that we wanted to encourage pastors in the church to remain open.

01:16:44.660 As a matter of fact, all the rallies that I first went to in 2020 and actually as my wife that introduced me to,

01:16:52.520 hey, let's head downtown to the rally and just, you know, support, you know, what's going on and just to fight against this tyranny.

01:17:00.220 And so I developed these signs.

01:17:03.800 I produced these signage that would say, I want to worship my creator with other believers, open our churches.

01:17:11.900 Or we were created to give God glory together, open our churches.

01:17:16.140 And I would always position myself in the front of the rally line.

01:17:19.820 I'd make a whole bunch of these signs.

01:17:21.820 I'd approach people, would you be willing to hold up this sign?

01:17:24.700 And I was all for the churches being open because my great-grandfather, my grandfather, as Kim had shared, they died for their faith.

01:17:33.600 They would not renounce the name of Jesus.

01:17:35.680 They counted the ultimate cost.

01:17:37.940 It was under the communist regime, Russia, a power usurped, authoritative controlling government that the first line of attack is towards believers in Christ Jesus and the church.

01:17:51.240 Because we believe in the supreme authority, and they cannot handle it.

01:17:56.240 And that's the same thing with our government.

01:17:57.800 What happened?

01:17:58.780 They locked down the churches.

01:18:01.160 Yet Costco's, you know, remained open, liquor stores, mosques, everything else.

01:18:06.380 But the churches had to be locked down.

01:18:08.380 So we're fighting this battle.

01:18:10.700 God does win it in the end.

01:18:12.120 You know, after we were first rally of pastors, we had like 500 that came, and then it dwindled down to 100, less than 100.

01:18:19.460 And our last seminar for pastors, which we, as Pastor Dan, Brother Dan, had mentioned, we had Vincent Jerseys, a 32-year veteran for the Ontario Provincial Police, come and share how to properly handle law enforcement.

01:18:33.540 Don't live in the fear of man or government.

01:18:36.280 Obey God over government.

01:18:38.180 And God's going to take care of you.

01:18:39.680 And you're going to hear some of the testimonies of some of these pastors next week for the next Empower Hour.

01:18:44.240 And I had a privilege to, you know, take some statements of testimony from what I refer to as legends of the faith.

01:18:52.920 These would be like Pastor Jacob Ruhm, Pastor Steve Richardson, Pastor Aaron Rock, Michael Thiessen, Timothy Stevens, Arthur Pawlowski, and James Coates.

01:19:09.940 Let's not forget about James Coates.

01:19:11.640 Many thousands of pastors have misinterpreted Romans chapter 13, obey government.

01:19:18.860 But you want to hear the proper interpretation of Romans 13?

01:19:22.820 Listen to Pastor James Coates on Romans 13.

01:19:26.820 Google it.

01:19:27.640 Listen to it.

01:19:29.040 What happened three days after that message was preached?

01:19:33.000 He was incarcerated longer than any other pastor in, I believe, the history of Canada over, I think it was like 33 days.

01:19:42.780 Our government purposefully put him behind bars.

01:19:46.300 They were fearful that if the pastors across this country would catch what the Holy Spirit was saying,

01:19:54.680 God's anointed word in that chapter, the proper interpretation, that they would lose this battle.

01:20:02.680 And so in any case, we do have a pastor support team.

01:20:06.560 We want to create awareness.

01:20:08.140 We want to let pastors know what their lawful position is under the Charter of Rights, Freedom and Rights, clergymen.

01:20:15.340 And so we do have a pastor support team.

01:20:18.020 We get together.

01:20:18.620 We pray over pastors.

01:20:19.800 We strategize.

01:20:21.220 We're also approaching associations across the country as well, too, because they are the governing body over the churches, right?

01:20:29.960 So we get together on a weekly basis.

01:20:33.600 And we also have a prayer lawyer team.

01:20:36.080 Dan alluded to it earlier.

01:20:37.280 And our action for Canada, we are covered in prayer.

01:20:43.140 We believe in prayer.

01:20:44.380 We believe in the works of the Holy Spirit.

01:20:46.720 We believe that God has a purpose for this country.

01:20:50.540 And we just are.

01:20:52.080 So our prayer warrior team, we meet Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays.

01:20:56.240 But you know how it started?

01:20:57.480 It actually started with Dan Bashan.

01:21:00.200 Dan said, you know what?

01:21:01.220 We need to have a week of prayer and fasting.

01:21:03.160 So we started, I think it was April 25th, we had an average of 80 people attend our Zoom prayer and fasting.

01:21:12.580 I had Pastor Art Tabloski, Brent Smith, and a number of pastors give a word of exhortation, praise, and testimony.

01:21:20.680 And so we had this committed time of prayer.

01:21:22.980 After seven days, we said, you know what?

01:21:24.820 Let's go 40 days.

01:21:26.280 So it turned out to 40 days of prayer and fasting.

01:21:29.060 And that 40th day, we had no idea what day it was going to land on.

01:21:32.980 It landed on the day of Pentecost.

01:21:35.060 And so on the day of Pentecost, we said, let's keep going.

01:21:38.340 So we've been praying faithfully 7 a.m. to 9 a.m.

01:21:42.840 at Monday, Wednesdays, and Friday.

01:21:46.480 And that has been for the last six months.

01:21:48.740 And we continue to go strong.

01:21:51.040 And so these are prayer warriors or intercessors.

01:21:53.360 We have 20 and 25 on average, and as many as 30 sometimes.

01:21:59.340 So if you want to be a part of that, you need to email us and let us know.

01:22:04.700 And I think we have emails posted somewhere.

01:22:07.100 But in any case, we also have a prayer-request at actioncanada.ca.

01:22:12.460 How can we serve Canada in a practical way?

01:22:14.860 We want to pray over the needs and the hurts and the pains and the loss of life and the loss of health and loss of employment.

01:22:23.700 And we want to practically pray over the needs of Canadians.

01:22:27.280 So we have a committed team that is taking these prayer requests and disseminating them through to other prayer warriors that are praying over these requests.

01:22:37.180 And I have the privilege also to get involved with, when I heard what was going on with SOGI, it really hurt and touched my heart.

01:22:44.980 And I said, you know what, I'm going to do some research.

01:22:48.540 So along with, I got some assistance from Doris.

01:22:51.160 And we were able to determine that there are provincial Christian homeschooling associations across this whole country in each province's representation.

01:23:00.420 Praise God.

01:23:01.540 And so we were able to highlight that.

01:23:04.460 There's a directory that we've posted that features that.

01:23:08.160 And also, what we were able to do is I was able to make a whole bunch of calls to these associations.

01:23:14.160 So now we have developed a parent support team.

01:23:17.820 That's another practical way in which we can assist the parents who are becoming aware of what is happening to their children and the exposure of SOGI 1, 2, 3 in the public schools.

01:23:27.620 So we want to provide them a platform where they will come to a Zoom meeting and they're going to connect with executive directors, board members, and also parents that have successfully homeschooled their children, in some cases, decades, and some cases, generational.

01:23:46.600 Their children are not homeschooling their kids.

01:23:48.880 So as far as what we want to connect them to in a practical way is alternative Christian homeschooling associations, or I said opportunities, school at home, Christian school at home, homeschooling at a Christian service, Christian churches allowing for parents to come in and school the kids.

01:24:10.340 And then churches offering curriculums that are offered to kindergarten to grade 12.

01:24:17.120 So we are wanting to connect those parents with those opportunities.

01:24:21.440 Each province is a little bit different as far as registration versus enrollment in particular.

01:24:26.320 So we are wanting to have a platform where they come on to a Zoom and they get connected with the executive or homeschooling parents from that province.

01:24:34.660 We'll have these private, separate Zoom chats, and they'll get educated.

01:24:39.540 They'll be encouraged, and they'll be equipped, and they'll be motivated and inspired by these homeschooling parents.

01:24:46.500 So we want to give them this.

01:24:48.720 There's so much more I can say, but I want my other brothers and sisters to share as far as the chapters that they started.

01:24:55.420 And God bless you all.

01:24:57.480 Come to next week.

01:24:58.880 We have a promotion about that, about the pastors that we have coming on.

01:25:03.380 Right on.

01:25:04.200 Oh, thank you so much, Ron.

01:25:05.720 Yeah, right on.

01:25:07.120 Take it away, Tanya.

01:25:07.900 Oh, I've got just like an amen, brother.

01:25:11.100 You know, I'm just sitting here in the background.

01:25:13.380 Ron, your enthusiasm.

01:25:15.020 I love you so much.

01:25:16.100 It was in 2020, in the fall of 2020, that you and I first came in touch.

01:25:21.740 And I knew within a short period of time that I needed you on our team because you just don't sit back.

01:25:28.140 You are a doer, and you're enthusiastic about it.

01:25:34.600 But what I see is that, you know, somebody had asked here, Michelle had asked, where do you pastor, Ron?

01:25:40.780 And the incredible thing is, is that Ron isn't an actual pastor, although he has a pastor's heart.

01:25:47.440 And I would like to say that Ron pastors at the Church of Action for Canada, because we said in August of 2021, Ron, you and I had a conversation.

01:25:56.740 And we were looking at the chapters, or sorry, the pastors, and how we'd gone from 361 joining us in a February of 2021 webinar.

01:26:07.620 And each week we were committing so much to having meetings for the pastors, and it kind of dwindled down to about 20.

01:26:13.580 And I says, you know what, I said, we need to start the commencing of vetting chapter leaders, because we're going to be the church without walls nationwide.

01:26:25.540 And Ron has always seen the vision for the mission.

01:26:28.780 We've shared that vision.

01:26:30.640 And Ron, I'm just so grateful for every aspect of what you're doing.

01:26:34.860 You jumped in to help with the chapter leaders.

01:26:37.960 You have gone back to overseeing, like we say, the prayer with Dan.

01:26:43.000 And then working with pastors, you and I met throughout the summer with multiple pastors, letting them know about what we're doing.

01:26:51.200 And then as soon as we were talking about homeschooling, you just took the lead.

01:26:55.500 You started reaching out to all these incredible organizations, Christian organizations across Canada.

01:27:01.380 And we started having meetings with them.

01:27:03.360 We've developed the page, because there are so many aspects of Action for Canada that all significantly work together.

01:27:11.480 Everything is sort of intertwined.

01:27:14.140 And you're just such an integral part of that.

01:27:16.320 And I love you, too.

01:27:17.140 So thank you.

01:27:18.560 Thank you.

01:27:20.120 Awesome.

01:27:21.000 It's a blessing.

01:27:22.140 It's an honor.

01:27:23.180 And I will continue to march on.

01:27:24.960 We're going to continue to press on and continue to advance the kingdom and set this country free in Jesus' name.

01:27:31.180 Amen.

01:27:32.600 Oh, right on.

01:27:33.680 Well, I am happy to say we're getting close to the end.

01:27:38.520 We have saved our best for last.

01:27:41.180 We have two more people to present.

01:27:44.860 And it took a little convincing for our next speaker.

01:27:48.000 Suzanne Woodrow is also from D.C.

01:27:51.240 This is her lovely face.

01:27:52.960 She's our chapter leader for Prince George.

01:27:55.240 And I'm so glad to introduce this fine lady to you.

01:27:58.060 Suzanne is humble about many of the accomplishments in her chapter and needed a little convincing to come on to tonight to share.

01:28:06.640 I'm delighted she agreed.

01:28:08.120 Suzanne consistently and tenaciously engages with her community to bring about real change from destructive policies that are not so subtly working their way into the governance structures of our country.

01:28:20.220 By building relationships with churches, community groups, and even elected officials, the team in Prince George is making a significant difference.

01:28:29.560 So please welcome Suzanne to the panel.

01:28:34.480 Well, thank you very much.

01:28:37.280 It's a pretty hard act to follow with all those awesome people.

01:28:41.060 I mean, you guys are amazing.

01:28:42.340 And the inspiration is over the top.

01:28:44.440 And I just love what they're all saying.

01:28:46.540 I absolutely love it.

01:28:47.340 I mean, my heart just absolutely identifies with all the things that they're saying.

01:28:52.160 I mean, I totally agreed with what Dan said, with all the seven pillars in society and everything else, with what Ron was saying there.

01:28:59.960 Our passion is about the children and homeschooling and stuff, too.

01:29:03.160 My background, basically, I mean, you know, the Lord has always led me into a political thing within the church.

01:29:09.800 I mean, he had me lead setting up a Christian Heritage Party for the first time in 1988.

01:29:16.440 And then I ran in a federal election in 2000.

01:29:19.180 But I never expected all this to happen right now.

01:29:22.500 When I joined Action for Canada, to be honest with you, I could see all the things going on in the country.

01:29:27.620 And I was very disturbed by it all.

01:29:29.760 But so I was going out there and I was going to the rallies and we were doing all these things.

01:29:33.760 And we have a very, very motivated freedom group here in Prince George.

01:29:38.000 They're awesome.

01:29:39.960 So one of them, Michelle, she had put out all these flyers and everything else everywhere, you know, about Action for Canada.

01:29:46.700 We were giving out the information and it was really, really good.

01:29:49.720 And I said to her, I said, we can't just do this without getting involved somehow.

01:29:53.980 Right.

01:29:54.340 Because we connected with Tanya and we were hearing what she was saying.

01:29:58.360 So we felt that we should start a chapter, but she didn't want to be the leader.

01:30:01.820 So I said, well, OK, I guess I'll be the leader then.

01:30:06.740 But I really didn't know what I was getting into, to be honest with you.

01:30:10.320 I had never done a Zoom call.

01:30:12.440 I had never like they just terrified me to even think about doing it.

01:30:16.580 So when I consider where I've come in the last year and a half and I mean, now I'm setting up Zoom calls all the time and doing all of these things.

01:30:23.640 And public speaking was never really a problem.

01:30:27.020 I didn't that didn't bother me.

01:30:29.360 And so we've had lots of meetings and rallies.

01:30:31.280 I've always spoken for Action for Canada, you know, and I mean, we have a really, really good group.

01:30:35.800 Most of the freedom group here are part of Action for Canada.

01:30:39.960 And so they would set up weekly rallies and we were down there all the time with our tents and tables and giving out all the information.

01:30:46.400 And it was awesome.

01:30:48.360 And then we were given the use of a boardroom.

01:30:51.700 And so we've had, you know, NOL signing meetings.

01:30:54.540 We had people coming down there and helping us filling out NOLs and serving them to the school boards, exactly like everybody else to the school boards with all the mandates that were coming down when they were trying to, you know, say that everybody in the school had to be vaxxed.

01:31:08.460 And we were, there was about 114 of us, I think, that rallied out in front of the school board office a few times.

01:31:15.240 And then we served them all with a stack of NOLs.

01:31:19.300 And by the grace of God, when they voted, they all voted against it.

01:31:23.440 So it was wonderful.

01:31:25.940 And then, you know, we did the same thing with the mayor and council.

01:31:28.480 We went down there.

01:31:29.920 We rallied out in front of City Hall.

01:31:32.740 We, you know, had a lot of big rallies.

01:31:35.060 And then we served them also with a stack of NOLs.

01:31:38.080 And unfortunately, they still voted to fire all the city workers.

01:31:43.240 But nevertheless, we still kept going and pressing on from that.

01:31:46.960 And we had a wonderful business group.

01:31:48.820 We had a leader that was just awesome.

01:31:50.800 And he led the team and gave out over 650 Action for Canada business packages.

01:31:58.020 So we were really pleased with that.

01:32:00.000 It was a really good effort.

01:32:02.780 And, I mean, like, we just have such a good team.

01:32:05.640 And, I mean, you can't do anything without a good team, without people who, you know, really and truly, I mean, I'm just kind of the voice here, really, because it's the younger people who are out there running around doing all of this.

01:32:15.800 But I just thank God for all of them.

01:32:18.120 And I thank God for the team here at Action for Canada.

01:32:20.360 You guys are amazing.

01:32:21.600 Absolutely amazing.

01:32:23.040 But I wanted to say that when the SOGI thing came out, like when all the mandates were lifted and everything kind of settled down and we weren't doing as much with the NOLs, we were really, really, like, really disturbed about that whole thing when Tanya brought that forth back in May, I believe it was.

01:32:39.220 And so we felt we had to do something and help the parents because we weren't being effective in getting the information to them to let them know what was happening in the schools.

01:32:47.920 And so we put on a big meeting, you know, and put up flyers everywhere and invited everybody to come to give, you know, to wake up the parents and give them the options of other things besides what was out there.

01:33:00.960 So we had about 75 people come to our meeting and we had a couple of long term homeschoolers come and speak and an ex high school Christian teacher.

01:33:12.340 She taught in a Christian high school and then we also had one of the school trustees come and they all shared with everybody we had and it was it was really good.

01:33:20.300 I also shared with them and showed them a little bit of off of the Action for Canada website of the war on children.

01:33:26.020 And we kept it very brief. I didn't get into it in detail. I told everybody to go there and watch it because it's so important for people to know what's going on.

01:33:34.400 We also had all the SOGI information and the books from the libraries on the tables for everybody to look at and the information, the NOLs and things that they could give out.

01:33:44.220 So we did quite a lot and it was it was good, you know, and the other thing I told them was I said we really wanted to be able to have a homeschool co-op and resource center.

01:33:55.280 And I had been looking into that and researching and found an awesome template of one down in Washington state.

01:34:00.980 So we actually were able to purchase their their business plan and they with everything about it, how to set it all up and everything.

01:34:09.080 So we're very excited about that and we are really, really going forward with it.

01:34:13.360 That we're really, you know, and our next step, of course, we were looking for venues, but that's hard to do.

01:34:21.060 It really is. But anyway, through the summer, Cheryl, my my co-lead, she and I went to 21 different churches and spoke to all these pastors and shared the books with them and gave them all packages of information to let them know what was going on with SOGI.

01:34:36.200 Most of them had never heard of it or they'd heard of it, but didn't know all about it.

01:34:40.320 And we asked them to share it with their their people to let them know how very serious this was.

01:34:46.020 I don't know how much they've done of that. A few have.

01:34:48.840 We don't know for sure, but we had some very good connections with them.

01:34:52.780 We were very pleased with the with the way they responded.

01:34:54.940 And we actually spoke with the Catholic bishop who told us that he was the head of a diocese that covers goes all the way from I think he said Dawson Creek out to Hyda Gwaii and that he was going to get the information out to them.

01:35:08.120 We also spoke with a man who's the head of the evangelical churches in BC, I believe, and he's going to be giving the information to them.

01:35:15.740 So we don't know how far it's going to go. We really don't.

01:35:19.440 We just have to go out there and do what we can and sow the seeds and trust the Lord for what he's going to do with it.

01:35:26.260 But, you know, the other thing with that is that we've had some really, really good connections with the pastors, with Christian businessmen here in the city.

01:35:35.400 We belong to a Bible study that's really been learning some other ways and strategies of bringing your city together.

01:35:42.280 And we're very excited about that because we really believe and have been doing this of really praying for all the city leaders and praying for our school board and praying blessing and peace, et cetera, et cetera.

01:35:54.640 And praying for the Lord to connect the pastors, the marketplace leaders and the city together.

01:36:01.480 And we've seen some amazing testimonies, miraculous stuff that's happened around the world from this.

01:36:08.040 And so that's what we've been starting to do.

01:36:10.460 And one of our leaders actually met with the mayor.

01:36:14.760 Well, actually, the team, they sent out emails to the mayor and council when they were first elected, the new mayor, and asked if they could come down to the inauguration, pray for him, et cetera.

01:36:24.240 They wanted to bless him.

01:36:25.280 They thanked him, et cetera.

01:36:26.540 And he wrote back right away and said how thankful he was for their prayers and that we need all the prayer we can get.

01:36:33.980 And so one of the leaders went down and was there for the inauguration and was able to meet with him afterwards and talk to him and share with him.

01:36:40.640 He said it was very positive.

01:36:41.700 And we also had members at the school board inauguration as well because we want to have people at every one of these meetings, council meetings and school board meetings from now on, not only to know what's going on, but also so that we can share.

01:36:55.140 And our goal is to try and build relationships as much as possible with them and to work with them where we can, but also to take a stand where we need to and serving NOLs or whatever, if we have to continue to do what we're doing, because we will stand for righteousness and justice no matter what.

01:37:12.680 But we really believe that we're, God is leading this, that we are, we just know that the Lord is putting together a real, he's doing a real work here in Prince George.

01:37:22.100 Like we're quite excited about it.

01:37:23.920 And we've had more pastors coming out to the prayer groups, coming to get together to pray, more people joining with different actions that we're doing.

01:37:33.080 And we're actually very excited about what's happening and feel very positive going forward.

01:37:38.700 So we're looking forward to try and meet with the mayor in the new year and go over some of these things with him.

01:37:43.780 We believe that this could be instrumental in helping us set up our homeschool co-op and resource center and other things in the city as well.

01:37:52.500 But we're believing that Prince George is going to lead the way and that God's going to do an awesome work here and that we're going to change our country going forward because this nation belongs to the Lord.

01:38:01.960 For he's Lord of Lords and King of Kings and he rules and reigns over our nation in Jesus' name.

01:38:07.340 Amen.

01:38:08.180 Amen.

01:38:09.180 Thank you so much.

01:38:11.340 Thanks, Suzanne.

01:38:12.580 You're welcome.

01:38:13.580 All right.

01:38:14.260 Okay.

01:38:14.760 Wow, Kim, this isn't just amazing.

01:38:17.120 Suzanne, I can't imagine you would hesitate to come on and tell everybody about the good things that are going on.

01:38:24.580 I mean, you guys have developed a chapter there and I know it doesn't take, you know, it's not like,

01:38:30.700 I know you mentioned 75 people, but it's not like you have 75 people coming out to any meeting.

01:38:35.760 Again, this was persistence, persevering, building the team.

01:38:39.620 And I just want to help people to understand that our viewing and will later view this video is that it is amazing that it has been a minority of different groups who have brought about the devastation in Canada.

01:38:53.240 And yet we are the majority.

01:38:56.120 We've been a silent majority.

01:38:57.640 And one of the things Action for Canada wants to do is give the silent majority a voice.

01:39:01.520 And we're doing that by being able to provide you not only with education, but the resources and to empower you to get involved.

01:39:09.260 And so a minority within Action for Canada, they're bringing the rain.

01:39:14.520 And with the faith of a mustard seed, we're moving mountains.

01:39:18.300 And Suzanne, you've been doing an amazing job.

01:39:21.300 You've touched on many things, the business campaign, reaching out to the pastors, the homeschooling, reaching out and supporting kids in school and parents.

01:39:30.560 I mean, this is exactly what I was talking about when Ron was on is that everything we're doing is interconnected so that we move together as this one massive, well-oiled machine.

01:39:40.620 And I just salute you, my friend.

01:39:43.960 You have been just doing such an amazing job.

01:39:46.560 I'm so excited to hear, you know, further updates moving forward.

01:39:51.240 And again, I appeal to everybody, join Action for Canada, join one of the chapters, even if it's a chapter right now that happens to be a few towns away, just get involved, be involved in Zoom meetings.

01:40:03.700 You may find that the more that you get involved in, the better educated you are on what it is exactly that Action for Canada has to offer.

01:40:11.940 You will say, I want to be a leader.

01:40:13.760 We try to make it so easy for you to have everything that you need in order to lead.

01:40:19.500 So, again, my love and thanks to you very much, Suzanne.

01:40:21.600 Yes, thank you all.

01:40:22.640 Bless you.

01:40:23.340 Good night.

01:40:24.060 Right on.

01:40:24.660 Kim, before you go, Terenzio, if you could bring me back on.

01:40:27.980 I had problems.

01:40:28.940 I'd lost my, I could speak, but I didn't have sound.

01:40:32.080 And so, Terry Recker came on and went.

01:40:35.580 And I can't not comment about Terry Recker.

01:40:39.120 I didn't hear what it was that she has to say, but I know her because I work so closely with her that I just have to give her such a big shout out.

01:40:47.800 She as well is somebody who is very persistent.

01:40:51.680 And she has become very, very knowledgeable about all of the materials that Action for Canada has.

01:40:57.720 She has a heart, a burden for our children and is, there you are, and is fighting like crazy on behalf of children in Ontario and as well as a heart for justice and is pursuing the criminal charges with members that have joined Action for Canada.

01:41:14.980 So, Terry, I just didn't want to miss out on sending you much love and a big shout out.

01:41:18.780 And thank you for being part of this beautiful family.

01:41:21.840 Oh, thank you, Tanya.

01:41:23.840 Thank you for looping back to that.

01:41:26.560 Now we come to the end of the evening, so to close out this evening, last but not least, by any stretch, we have Paul Scalacci, who presently hails from Hamilton, Ontario, but he is in the process of relocating to BC.

01:41:42.080 So, after more than a year of volunteer leadership as Act for Canada Hamilton chapter leader, Paul, along with his wife Donna, are moving from the Hamilton area to pursue the next chapter of their lives in British Columbia.

01:41:55.020 Paul has left a footprint on the freedom movement in the Hamilton area and on the hearts of those who marched with him.

01:42:01.340 He leaves the Hamilton chapter in good hands with Lucille taking the reins.

01:42:05.120 And Paul will be quick to say his journey in the freedom movement is far from over.

01:42:09.780 And we look forward to seeing what new role he may have with Action for Canada in the future.

01:42:15.300 So, please let us welcome Paul.

01:42:21.060 Wow.

01:42:22.660 How it's fun to follow now.

01:42:26.340 You've built me up.

01:42:28.200 I really appreciate everybody at Action for Canada.

01:42:32.800 And as some of you know, I've been sticking my nose in and out of Action for Canada long before the spread across the country and setting up chapters and trying to find my way in where I might actually feel that I could be of use and of service.

01:42:49.840 And I was so pleased that I finally could actually take part.

01:42:54.620 And actually, I didn't know how I was going to do it, but I figured, yeah, I'm going to build a chapter in Hamilton.

01:43:00.400 I live right here.

01:43:01.840 This is perfect.

01:43:02.800 So, that was something I wanted to do.

01:43:07.340 And I remember in some of the meetings when Tanya and the group were planning things about putting on different rallies.

01:43:17.440 And I was into videoing rallies quite a bit.

01:43:20.900 And I still do that.

01:43:21.860 I always love to bring my video camera and whatever, my phone now.

01:43:25.460 And I'm always picturing what's going on.

01:43:29.800 And so, I mentioned that I would be interested in serving Action for Canada that way.

01:43:34.960 That would be great if I could.

01:43:36.420 And then she'd go, great, great.

01:43:37.360 We got something going on in Vancouver this weekend.

01:43:39.980 And I went, yeah, send me a ticket.

01:43:43.360 I'll be there.

01:43:44.340 So, anyway, thank God I could do that here and provide, you know, I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to provide leadership.

01:43:55.220 But I knew I was going to provide a platform where people could come together.

01:43:59.920 And that's the key for me with Action for Canada and what I think started the group almost feeding itself.

01:44:10.020 And, you know, we start as all groups start with maybe four people.

01:44:14.320 And that's usually the core.

01:44:15.960 And then we get to about six and then it's eight.

01:44:19.220 And so, what we did is we would always start with a mission statement that Action for Canada put out there.

01:44:26.680 And that was how we started the meetings.

01:44:28.660 And then afterwards, we would go around person by person.

01:44:32.080 And whether you spoke the week or the couple of weeks before or the week before,

01:44:35.860 if something new had happened that you wanted to share with us, please share.

01:44:40.200 So, that's how we were finding out where people's interests were, where their strengths were,

01:44:45.940 where their hearts were, and what kind of changes they wanted to see with the tyrannical government mandates.

01:44:53.560 Of course, those were the days of lockdowns, masks, and, you know, don't visit with your family days, you know.

01:45:00.360 So, it was great.

01:45:02.360 We got some real emotional stories.

01:45:05.920 I mean, some of them, a lot of anger, a lot of, you know, really upset.

01:45:10.900 35 years I've been working as a health care worker and now I don't have a work, I don't work.

01:45:15.940 I mean, it just started to snowball.

01:45:18.960 So, we started in health care.

01:45:20.700 We started focusing in on trying to help some of these nurses to get back into their profession

01:45:27.580 and or at least to come back with something because it felt it had nothing.

01:45:33.000 So, what did Action for Canada have?

01:45:34.480 Of course, the notices of liability.

01:45:36.840 And so, that's what was the key.

01:45:38.800 Let's start.

01:45:39.440 And it was just getting people involved, getting people committing themselves to saying,

01:45:45.660 I'm going to do something with what's happened to me, and I'm not going to lie back on this.

01:45:49.640 And we were all there supporting them.

01:45:51.500 So, we had the signing teams and we had people that would sign off the NOLs.

01:45:56.040 We served the school boards, again, like many here on this meeting have, and the trustees.

01:46:02.180 And I guess the way I got around that nervous first time ever serving an NOL,

01:46:08.560 no matter how comfortable you are in front of people, when you're serving an NOL, that's about you,

01:46:16.340 that involves you.

01:46:17.600 It's a whole new game.

01:46:19.280 So, I remember I was a returning student.

01:46:22.580 You like the way I put that, a returning student.

01:46:25.120 Anyway, and I went back to university.

01:46:28.640 Of course, in the September of last year, they said, okay, you've got a mask to come to school.

01:46:34.060 Well, I prepared for all that.

01:46:35.460 I said, okay, let's see what this is going to be about.

01:46:37.760 Well, I'll come to the NOL, and I'm going to serve.

01:46:41.460 But I'm going to go there with no mask, and I'm going to have my first class in a music program,

01:46:46.340 which I'm actually a singer, and I've been an operatic singer.

01:46:50.280 So, I wanted to finish some of those studies.

01:46:53.180 And anyhow, I walked in, and everybody's masked, and they're saying, oh, hi, Paul.

01:46:57.220 And I'm looking at them, and I'm going, who are you?

01:46:59.580 Oh, yeah, you've got your mask on.

01:47:01.780 Okay, now I know.

01:47:02.660 I can hear your voice.

01:47:04.180 Anyhow, so anyway, I walked in.

01:47:06.860 Everybody's masked, and I'm looking at the corner, and the teacher's over there,

01:47:10.760 and she's got her mask on, and the accompanist behind the grand piano has her mask on.

01:47:15.060 And, of course, I'm the only one without one.

01:47:17.380 All the students are all chitter-chattering with their masks on.

01:47:21.120 And I walk over, and I said, what's going on?

01:47:24.140 Well, as if I didn't know.

01:47:26.280 And she says, well, I guess you haven't, have you been getting the e-mails?

01:47:29.700 I said, well, most of them, maybe I didn't read one.

01:47:33.200 She said, well, now we have to wear masks.

01:47:36.140 I said, oh, really?

01:47:37.920 So, I turned to the piano, to the accompanist.

01:47:40.240 I said, excuse me, but what do you feel about this?

01:47:43.760 And she says, oh, God, I don't care.

01:47:46.360 I want my money.

01:47:47.140 I want to be paid.

01:47:48.320 So, she took that mask off.

01:47:50.740 So, anyway, I turned over to the professor, and I said, how do we sing with masks?

01:47:58.420 This was an ensemble singing class.

01:48:01.700 And she said, oh, don't you know we've had a new version of the mask?

01:48:05.820 It comes way out like a duck beak, and you can breathe easily in it and sing.

01:48:10.460 So, I said, oh, really?

01:48:17.480 Anyway, and I said, you know, I don't wear masks.

01:48:20.260 She said, oh, well, you know, you'll have to wear a mask to be in the class.

01:48:24.700 I said, I do?

01:48:26.000 She said, well, what if I don't?

01:48:28.640 She said, well, if you don't, you can't participate in the class.

01:48:32.820 Really?

01:48:33.900 I don't wear a mask, and I can't sing, but I've got to sing in a mask.

01:48:37.600 It doesn't make any sense.

01:48:39.020 So, I had the NOL all prepared, and I had it all signed up.

01:48:43.260 And I said, do you really believe that?

01:48:45.340 And she said, yes.

01:48:46.180 I said, well, I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to serve you this.

01:48:49.440 And I served her the NOL, put it on the piano.

01:48:52.160 I said, there you go.

01:48:53.300 And she looked at it.

01:48:54.220 She goes, well, what's this?

01:48:56.080 I said, well, it's a notice of liability.

01:48:58.400 Well, why are you giving it to me?

01:49:01.240 I said, because you're not letting me take the class.

01:49:04.220 And I think you need to know that you really can't do that, but you're not letting me take the class.

01:49:09.000 And she says, well, I'm just going to send this on up to the admin.

01:49:12.860 I said, oh, no, you can do what you want with it, but that's not for them.

01:49:16.260 That one's for you.

01:49:17.840 That's for you.

01:49:18.760 So, you just take a look at it, because that's personal.

01:49:21.640 So, anyway, I turned, and as I walked away, I said, I'm sorry I had to do that, but sorry, guys.

01:49:27.500 And then she said, thanks for coming.

01:49:32.460 Anyway, I just wanted to share that, and I felt I needed to do that way before I said, if I'm going to talk to people about serving notices of liability, I better know what that's about.

01:49:44.860 So, and I'm kind of that kind of person that will jump in and say, okay, let's try it.

01:49:49.720 Okay, I don't have the whole recipe.

01:49:51.740 I've got part of it, but I'm going to make this thing work.

01:49:54.580 And so, anyhow, so the real key for me was preparing and having a place for people to meet.

01:50:04.700 And they started coming, and they started telling people, and all of a sudden, this was a safe place.

01:50:11.360 We can talk about what we really feel.

01:50:13.520 We can express.

01:50:14.520 We had camaraderie.

01:50:15.940 We had, you know, compassion.

01:50:17.960 We had all kinds of commiserating going on.

01:50:21.300 And we didn't have a lot of wins in that time.

01:50:24.440 We were serving notices of liability, but people still lost their jobs.

01:50:28.340 People still put on unpaid leave.

01:50:30.360 And, but overall, it just started to grow.

01:50:36.040 And then, of course, when Soji came around, that's where my heart totally opened up.

01:50:41.120 And I said, okay, no way.

01:50:44.620 You're not going to get the children on this one.

01:50:46.600 So I totally committed the group in terms of initiative and had a lot of support.

01:50:52.340 And as you know, Kim, you met Lucille.

01:50:55.440 She's phenomenal.

01:50:56.200 She is a powerhouse and a half, had been to both board meetings, the Hamilton District School Board meeting, the Catholic School Board meeting yesterday.

01:51:06.900 And there were incidences there.

01:51:08.700 There was Antifa there.

01:51:09.980 There was the counter protesters there at the meeting.

01:51:12.420 And some people almost got thrown out.

01:51:14.720 And it was quite the back and forth.

01:51:17.540 And I wasn't there because I'm moving.

01:51:19.380 So, so that's my excuse.

01:51:26.700 But I would, I'm glad we've been there, of course.

01:51:29.380 And I would have filmed every, every, every second of it.

01:51:32.740 And, but I, I'm so pleased we have a strong team.

01:51:37.480 And I think it's taught me, the whole position of leadership has taught me that we need to step back as leaders.

01:51:47.480 And we need to allow it to unfold.

01:51:51.040 And then we have to trust and we have to trust, of course, we trust in God.

01:51:55.100 But that will bring that, the answers to us.

01:51:58.180 And, and we, I know we get anxious because as soon as we think we're getting somewhere or it's cutting close, well, come on, let's, let's move this thing ahead.

01:52:07.020 And that's almost the time where you have to step back even further and take another, and take another camera shot.

01:52:13.340 So that's been my experience, brief sharing of the, of, with all of you, my experience with Activa Canada.

01:52:21.840 And no, I don't think I'm going away anytime soon.

01:52:24.720 Too much, too much on my plate.

01:52:26.460 Oh, that's good, good news.

01:52:29.260 Good to hear that.

01:52:30.460 Over to you, Tanya.

01:52:31.860 Thank you for joining us on the panel.

01:52:33.760 Yeah, again, thank you.

01:52:35.500 I love just having a little chat with each of the chapter leaders because they all bring something different to the table.

01:52:42.560 And as you can hear through Paul's experience as well, you know, there was some apprehension at first.

01:52:48.000 How do we get things going, et cetera.

01:52:49.720 But naturally, if you stick to it, you know, the, the chapter begins to grow.

01:52:54.920 People will hear about what you're doing.

01:52:57.420 If you have some sort of a public presence, I even hand cards out while I'm at the grocery store and people are so interested saying, I want to be involved.

01:53:04.880 I'm so concerned about what's going on.

01:53:07.080 And so organically, it's growing.

01:53:08.600 Paul, you're moving to Vancouver, which is going to be in my neck of the woods.

01:53:13.200 And I said, well, we're going to need help here, Paul.

01:53:16.000 There's no way that you, we're going to allow you to step away.

01:53:18.460 There's still too much work to be done.

01:53:20.460 So I just want to give you a big shout out and thank you so much.

01:53:23.560 You've left as well.

01:53:25.080 Hamilton in a strong position with good leaders because you modeled good leadership.

01:53:30.600 So again, thank you so much.

01:53:33.200 You're very welcome.

01:53:34.400 Thank you.

01:53:36.240 Well, Tanya, that brings us to the end of our lineup.

01:53:39.540 Thank you for those who have hung in there to hear these stories.

01:53:43.820 So we, that's a, that's a wrap for the chapters.

01:53:46.920 And that was just a survey actually of all the phenomenal work that's being done by so many of our leaders coast to coast.

01:53:54.720 Eventually we'll have Saskatchewan and Manitoba speaking up too.

01:53:58.600 Um, so, and they're, they're well on their way and they're in good hands too.

01:54:02.460 Some people were asking in the chat, what about Saskatchewan?

01:54:04.860 What about Manitoba?

01:54:05.800 And we have some really good, uh, team leading, uh, in Manitoba now.

01:54:10.280 And, and that's really coming together too.

01:54:12.800 Right.

01:54:13.320 And Kim, I just want to thank you so much.

01:54:15.420 I'll, I'll have a few words to wrap up.

01:54:17.360 So don't everybody just leave just yet.

01:54:19.580 But again, I, as I started with, I want to end with and giving you a huge shout out

01:54:23.760 for taking on this huge task and for doing it so well.

01:54:28.580 Uh, I love that little extra.

01:54:31.860 Thanks Terenzio, uh, for adding that, that, uh, honor to Kim.

01:54:36.440 And, uh, we've still got a lot of work ahead of us, my friends.

01:54:39.760 There's a lot of, uh, uh, towns and cities that don't have an action for Canada chapter.

01:54:44.800 But now that we're really, we've got the infrastructure built, the administration is built.

01:54:49.740 We have such an amazing team.

01:54:52.080 I, I want to give Ray, our tech person, a team, uh, part of our team, a big, huge shout

01:54:57.060 out.

01:54:57.680 And, uh, then there's Sharon and Holly and Suzanne and Suzanne.

01:55:02.000 And, uh, I mentioned Jenny, who's part of making our, um, website look so good as well.

01:55:09.300 We have Heather on the call.

01:55:10.920 I just, I don't want to miss anybody.

01:55:12.480 And of course, Terenzio who puts on this incredible, uh, production and just every single

01:55:17.940 member of the team, not only, uh, nationally, but, uh, you know, nationally across Canada,

01:55:23.780 as far as chapters are concerned, but at our national office, it's been a huge endeavor.

01:55:28.820 And so I would just like to ask everybody that's viewing and will be viewing this to

01:55:33.340 also consider becoming a monthly donor with Action for Canada, because it takes a lot to

01:55:38.840 keep this ship sailing.

01:55:40.020 And, uh, as we grow, we have a lot of plans, um, that, um, are ahead of us as well as we

01:55:47.080 grow the chapters there, there are costs involved with that, but there's also the legal actions

01:55:52.520 that we're involved in.

01:55:54.040 There's the criminal code, uh, charges that, uh, we're encouraging people across the country

01:55:59.600 to, uh, to also implement.

01:56:02.320 All right.

01:56:03.060 So, uh, I'm just kind of losing my direction here a little bit because of the magnitude of

01:56:08.960 what Action for Canada is doing, Kim, and what an integral part of this team you are.

01:56:12.720 So thank you again.

01:56:14.060 We're going to look forward to another, uh, chapter leader and power hour, because this

01:56:20.220 was only a fraction of our leaders in the good news stories that they have.

01:56:23.320 So we'll be back.

01:56:25.040 Right on.

01:56:25.880 All right.

01:56:26.060 Well, thank you so much for those kind words.

01:56:28.580 All right.

01:56:28.960 Thank you, Kim.

01:56:29.940 Yep.

01:56:30.200 All right.

01:56:33.060 Woo.

01:56:33.520 That's all.

01:56:34.100 I know it's a lot to take in.

01:56:35.980 And, uh, like I say, this is only a fraction of our leaders that came and joined us tonight

01:56:40.400 in a big special shout out and thank you to them.

01:56:43.680 Uh, you know, I want to say that we are not only holding the line, we're doing so much

01:56:47.880 more than that.

01:56:48.660 We are taking background that the enemy has stolen.

01:56:51.420 And I truly believe that with all the notices of liability and the actions that Action for Canada

01:56:56.760 has commenced in the last three years.

01:56:59.860 And prior to that, we have been a thorn in the side of the government because we are bringing

01:57:05.020 truth to the nation.

01:57:06.900 And the Bible says the truth shall set you free.

01:57:09.800 And we can see that we are winning in school boards.

01:57:12.420 We are going after SOGI and we are exposing the nasty deeds of this program and those who

01:57:18.340 are behind it.

01:57:19.980 And we truly 100% believe that there is every reason that the education across Canada should

01:57:26.660 revoke and remove SOGI 123 as well as all of these pornographic books.

01:57:31.780 And to, again, also remove the, um, individuals who have access to our kids from the radical

01:57:39.380 LGBTQ community.

01:57:41.140 We've got to remember one of the biggest problems is, is that they are indoctrinating children

01:57:45.680 in the school systems.

01:57:46.920 And then they have activists that they've given, uh, permission to have access to our children,

01:57:52.020 not only within the classroom, but within these private, uh, private GSAs, the gay straight

01:57:57.620 alliance, private clubs that they have at the schools.

01:58:00.060 Who are these individuals who are running these groups?

01:58:03.280 Who has access to our children?

01:58:05.200 All right.

01:58:05.400 When has this ever been okay in the history of time?

01:58:08.460 So we're big, we're, we're making our voice really loud.

01:58:11.340 They're saying that we're not going to tolerate this.

01:58:13.360 And every single one of our chapter leaders is actively involved in this.

01:58:17.860 They are the cream of the crop that have risen to the top.

01:58:20.260 And I love every single one of them.

01:58:22.920 And we're going to keep vetting and we're going to keep getting the cream.

01:58:26.980 All right.

01:58:27.860 All right.

01:58:28.420 Can we, um, put up the empower our image for next week?

01:58:33.380 I just want to encourage everybody to join us next week.

01:58:36.480 I am so happy to be able to have pastor Randy Beattie.

01:58:42.200 He happens to be also one of action for Canada's plaintiffs in the BC and federal action.

01:58:49.940 Pastor Randy and Diane are so precious.

01:58:52.100 They have held the line.

01:58:53.100 They remained open and pastor Phil, there's, uh, you know, such a story involved with pastor Phil in, uh, New Brunswick and our leader, chapter leader, pastor Ken and Bonnie were an integral part of what had taken place in pastor Phil's lives.

01:59:12.360 Pastor Ken and Bonnie jumped into action right away to assist pastor Phil and, uh, pastor Cody, uh, because the government had come after them and were, it was just, well, as with all pastors with their testimonies, you'll hear them.

01:59:28.080 I don't want you to miss them, but action for Canada stepped into a major role to help, uh, um, source funds for them through the democracy funds, et cetera.

01:59:40.220 And then, of course, you know, our dear pastor, Archer Palowski, uh, you know what, uh, he is a force in this nation and having come from, uh, communism, he saw the writing on the wall way ahead of, uh, of COVID as well.

01:59:56.000 He is precious.

01:59:57.480 He has been serving, uh, the, uh, homeless in his community.

02:00:01.760 And, uh, for many years, 20 years prior to COVID, he was already under, uh, great opposition.

02:00:08.100 I, I, I can't even understand why the most tyrannical, uh, you know, individuals, as far as mayors are concerned, would stop a man from feeding the homeless.

02:00:17.300 But that is part of, uh, uh, Pastor Archer Palowski story before stepping into the ring with COVID.

02:00:23.840 And, uh, again, he is somebody that didn't only, uh, hold the line.

02:00:27.900 He is pressing back and, um, he is taking back ground the enemy had tried to steal.

02:00:33.760 And for Pastor Phil and Pastor Archer, they had major legal actions against them and all of the charges are being dismissed.

02:00:41.340 All of the fines, all of the charges.

02:00:43.760 This was a big, huge fear-mongering campaign.

02:00:47.240 And so I can't wait to have them on the show next week.

02:00:49.320 We're also ready to post.

02:00:51.320 We've been working on it for many months, but we have an action that we're going to post as well.

02:00:56.020 It will be for all churches, uh, I'm hoping that as many churches as possible will get on board with us and all Christians across this nation and that they will sign this notice, this declaration telling the government that when the government's laws are in violation of God's laws, we follow God's laws first.

02:01:13.580 And so we will no longer comply to orders, um, at all that are in violation of the, uh, of the law, of the criminal code of our constitutional guaranteed rights.

02:01:25.060 And so, uh, we're very excited about that show and it is time to launch this and be proactive.

02:01:31.060 This is a proactive measure in telling the government, we don't care what you got up your sleeve.

02:01:35.940 We are not going to comply.

02:01:38.080 All right, Terenzio, on that note, will you please bring up the verse?

02:01:42.720 Uh, I really want everybody to feel very hopeful.

02:01:45.380 I hope you have felt inspired tonight by our, uh, the testimonies that our chapter leaders have, have given tonight.

02:01:53.500 I hope that you feel empowered as well.

02:01:56.180 I hope that you feel like, you know what?

02:01:58.040 I want to be involved in this history making movement called Action for Canada.

02:02:02.900 We are going to go down in history as one of the organizations that had a huge impact in tearing down this tyranny.

02:02:10.900 And so the Bible says, Isaiah 41, 10, fear not, for I am with you.

02:02:16.820 Be not dismayed, for I am your God.

02:02:19.660 I will strengthen you.

02:02:21.240 I will help you.

02:02:22.420 I will uphold you with my righteous hand.

02:02:25.200 I take great hope in this.

02:02:26.860 And as I've been saying in the last couple of weeks, that, you know, there's a lot of fake religions out there.

02:02:33.380 There's a lot of fake ideas that all you have to do is, is just, it's all about love.

02:02:39.220 But it's more than that.

02:02:40.560 It's more than that.

02:02:41.600 It's more than just being a good person.

02:02:43.880 And I just feel a need to express this every single week that John 3, 16 says, for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

02:02:58.500 And so if you're on the show tonight and God has been tapping on the shoulder and pressing in, it's because he loves you.

02:03:04.820 And it says in the Bible that every single person in the world has an opportunity at some point in their life to choose God.

02:03:12.840 And he's given us free will.

02:03:15.140 So you also have the choice to say no, but that could very well mean a life of eternal damnation.

02:03:21.480 And so at Action for Canada, we believe this is a ministry that we're in very dark times right now.

02:03:26.200 We want to give you hope, but that that hope only comes in Christ Jesus.

02:03:29.780 So if you feel like it today, if you're feeling that presence of the Holy Spirit to say, you know what, all you need to do is confess before the Lord.

02:03:38.100 We're all sinners.

02:03:39.460 Even when we become Christians, you know, we're sinners.

02:03:42.260 But the difference is that as Christians, we can go before the Lord and we know that when we confess our sins, we're forgiven.

02:03:48.680 And that's the same for you.

02:03:50.200 If you profess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of your life, you too will have that gift.

02:03:55.080 And all you would need to do is a simple prayer saying, Lord, you know what, I could feel you pursuing me.

02:04:01.440 I'm a sinner.

02:04:02.440 And I recognize that today.

02:04:03.760 And I ask you to forgive me of my sins.

02:04:06.040 He'll wash you white as snow.

02:04:08.040 And I pray that you come into my life and be Lord and Savior of my life.

02:04:11.780 And if you pray that prayer today, please reach out to our prayer team.

02:04:16.140 It will be available in the description when this video is posted.

02:04:20.040 And Sheila, would you please also post it right now in the chat?

02:04:25.080 And so I just want to give you a big shout out to everybody.

02:04:27.840 I love you so much.

02:04:28.740 You're part of the Action for Canada family.

02:04:31.220 So just God bless you and God bless Canada.

02:04:34.800 Welcome, Tanya.

02:04:36.220 God!

02:04:41.360 That's what I've got to say.

02:04:43.120 Look at this crowd!

02:04:47.720 I'm going to thank God and God alone for the ground that I'm standing on.

02:04:55.080 I'm going to thank our founding fathers for giving their lives and sacrificing so much

02:05:06.180 for our freedom.

02:05:07.220 And I'm calling on you today.

02:05:13.440 Don't put them to shame.

02:05:15.640 Don't waste what they did.

02:05:18.040 We have guaranteed rights in this country.

02:05:21.360 We are putting chapters across the nation.

02:05:31.580 We are going to be in every town and every city.

02:05:35.460 And we are going to build communities within these communities of like-minded people who

02:05:40.720 are actually going to care for one another again and love on each other and give each

02:05:45.160 other their help when they're down.

02:05:47.500 We are going to use the teams and the people that build within chapters to support our businesses.

02:05:55.120 The government's actions are completely 100% unlawful.

02:06:01.680 Judgment will again be found on justice.

02:06:04.780 You have a virtuous heart if you are here today pursuing freedom and righteousness.

02:06:17.180 And then verse 23 comes along with a promise.

02:06:22.080 God says he will turn the sins of evil people back on them.

02:06:27.540 He will destroy them for their sins.

02:06:31.600 I take great comfort in that because I serve a mighty living God who has allowed us to go

02:06:42.460 through this season of discomfort because we as a nation have turned our backs on him and

02:06:49.320 we need to get right.

02:06:51.540 So I am just going to thank you so much.

02:06:55.500 I'm going to say God bless you and God bless Canada.
