Transcript

00:00:00.000 So, Pastor, why are you here in Ottawa for this convoy?
00:00:03.820 I am here because of one word, freedom.
00:00:07.240 And that's why these people are here, and I am here in Ottawa,
00:00:10.280 to thank the truckers, to bring us to a brand new level
00:00:13.200 where we couldn't get to, and they have done, and here they are,
00:00:16.800 and they deserve all the honour we can give them.
00:00:20.020 You've seen in the last two years as a Christian minister,
00:00:22.680 your colleagues put in jail, your own church shut down.
00:00:26.020 Did you ever imagine that this country would do all the things
00:00:28.900 that it's been doing to people of faith,
00:00:30.540 and people of no faith at all, to basically all Canadians?
00:00:33.680 I would have never thought this, and like you know,
00:00:36.260 at first they came for the pastors, and then the owners of the businesses,
00:00:39.740 and then the frontline workers, and now they have touched the nerve
00:00:42.540 because here are the truckers, and they're coming for everyone,
00:00:46.020 and if somebody's still not awake, tomorrow they're coming for you.
00:00:49.260 I would have never imagined this, never imagined this.
00:00:51.940 And this honking that you're hearing right now is the call,
00:00:55.000 is the call for people, stand up, stand up, this is our chance,
00:00:58.660 here's our opportunity, we must do it.
00:01:01.140 Why do you think of all the movements we've seen in the last two years,
00:01:04.460 it's the truckers that have really united the nation behind this cause?
00:01:08.540 I think they realised that, look, when it came to them,
00:01:12.780 they knew, now it's our turn, we have to do something,
00:01:16.360 because if we don't, if we don't, it's coming to a standstill.
00:01:20.380 We're seeing our shelves getting emptier and emptier,
00:01:23.160 and they knew if they're clamping them down, then what?
00:01:26.400 Then what? And here we are.
00:01:27.840 And my word to the Prime Minister is, don't bite the hand that feeds you.
00:01:33.000 Why are you having a worship service?
00:01:34.780 Why are you bringing church to the Parliament Hill?
00:01:37.060 Because we know that this country was founded.
00:01:39.860 This was founded on recognising the principles that recognise the supremacy of God.
00:01:44.700 We've got 25 Bible scriptures inscribed in the Parliament building.
00:01:48.420 We have gone off the foundation.
00:01:50.340 We must get back on the foundation or else it's over.
00:01:53.220 Thank you, Pastor.
00:01:54.620 You're welcome. So good to have you here.
00:01:56.540 Thank you.
00:01:56.600 Thank you.
