00:00:00.000 I was involved in this about 10 years ago during the David Eggins NDP era in Alberta.
00:00:08.340 And they had published the gender diversity best practices guidelines for our schools and were foisting on our children really an indoctrination. 0.71
00:00:18.440 Myself and a colleague wrote a detailed medical letter, not using Christian speak, but using medical data, using citations from papers that we had researched and read and put together and outlined our concerns.
00:00:35.960 They were medical concerns and in part parental concerns, but really we're focused on the medical side.
00:00:42.220 And not surprisingly, it didn't go well.
00:00:45.520 And the but I still felt, you know, we both felt really compelled to do this.
00:00:50.420 And the letter went viral at the time and we were actually castigated and brought before the University of Alberta.
00:00:59.560 All four years of the medical students were present and there was a petition that was signed that we should lose our credentials at the university.
00:01:08.220 The narrative that's often, you know, put out there that's inevitable, there's nothing we can do is wrong and it's false and we can push against that.
00:01:17.820 And in our in the province of Alberta, where I am, Premier Daniel Smith has done remarkable work in terms of banning transitorial surgery and puberty blockers, men competing in women's sports, parental opt-out for sex ed and parental notification regarding pronoun and gender ID change.
00:01:35.340 So this has been a tremendous advance in our province, Alberta, I hope that we carry widely to support these people.
00:01:42.460 And there's been some good work done for a pride pushback across the nation. 1.00
00:01:46.980 We see the National Pride Walkout, Flag Walkout Day. 0.56
00:01:50.560 We see a ban on pride or porn books, you know, school of porn books that focus on LGBT, as mentioned earlier by Tanya.
00:01:59.180 And companies are dropping sponsorship.
00:02:01.640 We saw that this now at the Toronto Pride, that there is a Home Depot, Google, Adidas, Nissan, they're all pulling out.
00:02:09.760 They're not supporting the Pride parade in Toronto.
00:02:12.640 It's just gone too far.
00:02:16.040 And so our job then, our call is to stand firm.
00:02:20.160 We stand firm.
00:02:21.100 And I think that, you know, the key thing is that we hold on to the gospel message.
00:02:23.920 We encourage its full council proclamation, and we stand behind that.
00:02:30.340 This is, as Charles Spurgeon said, the proclamation of the living gospel of Christ, the whole of it, will meet the whole of the ills of our society.
00:02:40.640 And so I think Charles Spurgeon's notes then was really what he said in his day, you know, meets our current era today.
00:02:48.040 And we need to teach Christian worldview to our children.
00:02:52.360 We need to equip them and prepare them to be able to identify these lies and be able to say, not so.
00:02:58.540 And to be able to have objective biblical truths to be able to stand on and to be able to understand how they can frame these complex ideas and understand them
00:03:09.460 so they can have meaningful conversations with people and not be duped and trapped by such ideologies and to help others who are duped and trapped by those ideologies.
00:03:22.860 And third and lastly, then, we promote church community and communities in general.
00:03:28.020 And in the States, at Princeton University, Dr. Robert George is promoting what they're calling the Fidelity Month
00:03:34.680 and celebrating, really, our commitment to God, our spouses, families, and communities.
00:03:41.160 And I would say, that's good.
00:03:43.040 That's a positive spin on the whole Pride season.
00:03:47.080 You know, rather than just saying, no, no, no, we say, how about yes, but yes to fidelity?
00:03:52.240 And it's a beautiful idea, and I love that.
00:03:54.940 But in all of this, then, we need to stand firm.
00:03:57.460 And Jesus said, I'm sending you out like sheep among wolves, therefore be shrewd as snakes, innocent as doves. 0.99
00:04:03.800 Not nasty as serpents and stupid as pigeons, as Preston Manning would say, but we need to be shrewd and innocent. 0.99
00:04:12.940 And Martin Luther said, the loyalty to the soldier is proved when the battle rages, and the battle's raging here. 0.99
00:04:20.720 And so, there's opportunity, and I think what Action for Canada is doing presently, we need to get behind that and support them with our monetary help and with our active involvement.
00:04:33.180 Thank you.
