This is The Confederation Report, a weekly analysis of Canadian news and culture from a Biblical worldview.
Intro (00:00-00:34)
Part I: The Confederation of Canada (00:34-05:25)
The true vision of Confederation was the forging of a Christian nation—deliberately united under God, grounded in biblical truth, ordered liberty, and the providential calling of its people.
Part II: The Peace Tower (05:25-10:02)
The Peace Tower stands as a stone witness to a forgotten truth: Canada was founded under the sovereign rule of God, with Scripture etched into its very walls—declaring Christ’s dominion from sea to sea—yet that vision has been traded for the false gospel of self-rule; and unless we repent and return to the Lord, no political effort will restore what only the gospel can renew.
Part III: The Biblical Foundation of the West (10:02-14:05)
The moral foundation of Western civilization—and of Canada—is not the product of secular humanism, but of Scripture, whose vision of law, justice, and human dignity shaped our freedoms, institutions, and sense of right and wrong; to forget this heritage is not progress, but cultural amnesia, and our only hope lies in recovering the truth that made us free.
Did You Know? (14:05-15:33)
Though officially adopted in 1965, Canada’s maple leaf flag reflects a much older patriotic symbol—one that long stirred national pride on battlefields, coins, and hockey jerseys—uniting Canadians under a shared identity well before it flew atop Parliament.
Recommended Reading (15:33-16:15)
The Mission of God by Dr. Joe Boot is a bold and timely call for Christians to recover a comprehensive biblical worldview—one that confronts cultural decline with the truth of Christ’s Lordship and the power of covenantal living in every sphere of life.
Conclusion (16:15-16:32)
