free enterprise, democracy, they're rooted in two fundamental principles. One is private property
00:00:06.000
and the other is rule of law. And because of those two things, you know that you own your property
00:00:10.480
and the rule of law will uphold your right to that property. And then everything can function.
00:00:14.920
You can get loans, you can run in business, you can do these things. But if you don't own something
00:00:18.500
and if the rule of law isn't going to stand for what we all believed was there, then you can see
00:00:23.020
immediately what starts to happen. People start to get nervous. Loans aren't being made now. People
00:00:28.400
aren't able to renew mortgages. The whole system operates on a tradition of faith and confidence
00:00:34.180
that what we believe in will exist tomorrow. If you're suddenly going, does this exist tomorrow?
00:00:39.220
What are we doing here? And you can see how that affects everything. You've got to believe the
00:00:43.740
system is there. It's run by rule of law and your rights will be upheld. And it's very dangerous
00:00:49.180
when we start chewing away at that foundation. Right. And this is why I say it's you're doing
00:00:55.000
an excellent job and how you're using your God gifted talents, your education as a lawyer.
00:01:01.580
Because how I see this is that it's almost like when you go before the legislature, you're
00:01:06.840
preparing to go before the court of law every day and defend your position and the constitution and
00:01:13.880
the charter. And I've got to add in there because I keep promoting this, the coronation oath.
00:01:18.000
And the coronation oath is David Lindsay is an expert in this, but the coronation oath, Canada
00:01:24.840
must be governed by Christian biblical principles. And the Bible is very clear on land ownership,
00:01:31.380
on our property rights, and as well on upholding the rule of law.
