Another attack against Christians occurred in Canada on Friday, a terrorist attack targeting
00:00:11.520
an historic church in Regina, Saskatchewan. But chances are, you luckily didn't even know that
00:00:16.900
it happened. That's because the CBC, the state broadcaster, by Monday morning couldn't be
00:00:21.840
bothered to inform the public, the people who pay for their services, that another church in
00:00:25.880
this country had been set on fire. The Blessed Sacrament Parish in Regina, Saskatchewan, built in
00:00:31.580
1905, the oldest Catholic church in Regina, was set on fire by an arsonist on Friday morning.
00:00:37.880
The entire attack was caught on security video, which has been posted to social media. This brings
00:00:42.760
the total number of churches that have been attacked in Canada since 2021 to at least 97. And at least
00:00:49.960
46 churches in this country have been set on fire by arsonists. These terrorist attacks in Canada
00:00:55.840
targeting Christians all happened after false claims were made that the bodies of Indigenous
00:01:01.360
children were found in mass graves at the sites of former Indian residential schools. The legacy
00:01:06.880
media and politicians in this country amplified those false claims and lit the fuse, which has
00:01:12.680
left a trail of burned churches to dot Canada's prairie landscape. Before we get into the video,
00:01:17.480
be sure to drop a like on this video, help us up with subscribing to the True North YouTube channel,
00:01:21.600
and the comment question for the episode is this. Why has the Canadian government refused to open a
00:01:27.540
formal inquiry into the church burnings? Let me know your answer in the comment section below,
00:01:32.480
and let's get into it. Well, on Friday, Regina's Blessed Sacrament Parish became Canada's 97th church
00:01:38.400
since 2021 to be attacked by vandals and arsonists.

00:02:02.360
Now, unlike other terrorist attacks targeting churches in Canada since 2021,
00:02:28.200
this attack was caught on video and released to the public by Father James Henches,
00:02:34.200
one of the priests at the Blessed Sacrament Parish.
00:02:37.160
Now, for those that seek to downplay the attacks against Christians in this country,
00:02:41.260
who think that 96 churches that have been attacked is not enough,
00:02:45.300
and maybe think that it's all a cooked-up story,
00:02:47.960
well, the video evidence of the 97th attack, the 46th arson attempt,
00:02:54.840
According to local media reports, firefighters were able to arrive on the scene
00:02:58.900
and extinguish the flames at around 3.40 a.m. at the back of the church.
00:03:02.800
Thanks be to God, it appears that the church was saved.
00:03:06.260
True North has been keeping track of each and every attack targeting Christians in this country since 2021.
00:03:12.600
All 97 church attacks have been documented on an interactive map for Canadians to see.
00:03:18.840
But the Trudeau government, it appears, wants nothing to do with this story.
00:03:22.140
A few empty tweets from the Prime Minister and Liberal MPs appears to be the extent to which
00:03:27.220
Liberals are willing to go to do something about the sustained attacks targeting churches in this country.
00:03:33.780
Of course, no formal inquiry has been called to investigate what's actually going on with these church burnings,
00:03:39.020
and only a handful of people have been charged and arrested for arson.
00:03:46.600
We've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas.
00:03:49.420
What do you think Justin Trudeau's response would be if 97 mosques were targeted?
00:03:57.160
Or if 97 temples were targeted in this country?
00:04:01.040
Trudeau, of course, would call for a national inquiry, a government task force, a national investigation.
00:04:07.040
He would quickly blame his people for being racist and intolerant.
00:04:10.500
You know, I'm even inclined at this point to believe that if 97 Tim Hortons locations were targeted in this country by vandals and arsonists,
00:04:17.040
the federal government would be more interested in figuring out what's going on with those locations
00:04:21.040
than they appear to be with the 97 churches that have been attacked.
00:04:25.400
But standing up for persecuted Christians and wanting to put an end to a string of anti-Christian terrorism in Canada
00:04:31.140
just doesn't seem to be the political cause du jour for those in charge.
00:04:35.340
And four days after the Blessed Sacrament Church was attacked by this arsonist on camera,
00:04:39.920
the CBC just couldn't bring themselves to inform the public about what happened.
00:04:45.440
At least $1.4 billion a year from the taxpayer to supposedly inform Canadians about what's going on
00:04:51.620
and not a single line on their website about an arsonist attacking an historic church in Regina over the weekend.
00:05:00.000
Well, Joe Biden and Donald Trump, of course, seeing as how that's really important to Canadians.
00:05:05.060
Thank God the CBC is keeping Canadians informed about the stories that really matter.
00:05:10.500
Before this latest attack in Regina, the CBC got around to investigating the string of church fires in this country.
00:05:17.260
In their investigation, they didn't really find anything new, which is kind of the whole point of an investigation,
00:05:23.280
but rather, in typical CBC fashion, well, the CBC found a professor at the University of Calgary
00:05:32.840
At the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Paulina Johnson has been looking into the church fires and why they're happening.
00:05:40.920
I think for many Indigenous peoples, it gives them a voice because for the longest time, Canada hasn't really actually acknowledged us.
00:05:50.780
I am Dr. Paulina Johnson and I am the auntie is in.
00:05:57.200
Her work is a deep dive into the injustices faced by Indigenous people and how some fight back.
00:06:04.440
The church fires, they're much more than just arson.
00:06:08.800
It's a greater symbolic kind of narrative of Canada and Canada's relationship to Indigenous peoples, which is really lacking.
00:06:17.020
It's on fire because no one's really addressing the truth of what Indigenous peoples are facing.
00:06:23.700
So it leads to a larger conversation that needs to be had.
00:06:34.980
Now they just want to move on without pointing fingers.
00:06:40.680
The legacy media taking the claims from First Nations bands who used ground-penetrating radar
00:06:46.380
and claimed that they had found the remains of Indigenous children in mass graves at the sites of former Indian residential schools.
00:06:54.080
Now the legacy media, seeing a golden opportunity to bash Catholics in this country
00:06:58.040
and accuse Canada of committing the worst crimes imaginable, simply did that.
00:07:02.500
Without any evidence, without doing any investigations of their own, to find out that in fact, not a single bone has been dug up.
00:07:09.600
Not a single piece of evidence beyond simple ground-penetrating radar findings which show nothing
00:07:14.900
to confirm whether they were writing the truth or simply pushing falsehoods, amplifying these destructive false claims.
00:07:22.720
The Trudeau government, not once pushing back against these First Nations bands,
0.88
00:07:26.720
accepted what was being reported in the legacy media
00:07:29.740
and subjected the Canadian public to six months of guilt-shaming.
00:07:33.920
As Canada's flags were inexplicably flown at half-mast for half a year,
00:07:38.520
statues of John A. Macdonald and Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth were toppled by protesters.
00:07:43.960
And then, seeing as how the toppling of statues in the erasure of Canadian history wasn't enough for these people,
00:07:50.840
All of this has happened under the watchful eye of Justin Trudeau,
00:07:53.960
a man who amplified the false claims about Christians in this country
00:07:57.660
and whose own staffers justified and excused church burnings in this country.
00:08:04.200
This is a new phenomenon happening in our country.
00:08:07.180
Attacks against Christians and the destruction of churches in Canada
00:08:13.580
one that has been allowed to grow under the watch of Justin Trudeau.
00:08:17.340
And the imagery of a beautiful historic church set on fire
00:08:21.420
will forever symbolize Justin Trudeau's reign of Canada.
00:08:24.780
All right, everyone, that's going to do it for us today on the show.
