BREAKING: PASTOR ARRESTED YESTERDAY FOR "SINCERELY HELD BELIEF"
Dec. 4, 2025
Sharon,
What a moment.
There is a very high probability that TODAY, between 3:30 pm and 5:30 pm, the Justice Committee (Parliament) will vote on whether or not to approve a Bloc amendment to C-9 that would remove protection for sincerely held religious beliefs.
In a chilling confirmation of the seriousness, just hours ago, it was reported that Pastor Derek Reimer was arrested for his beliefs about Drag Queen Story Time.
His arrest highlights the importance of taking this moment seriously.
THE NEXT FEW HOURS ARE IMPORTANT: PLEASE CALL THESE MPS NOW
If we care about religious freedom in Canada - for today and for our children's future - now is the time to pick up the phone.
Below are the MPs on the Justice Committee that we need to call and ask to vote against the amendment today. Please don't delay. Your voice will make a difference. If the amendment passes, the bill will have to be defeated on the floor of the House of Commons or the Senate, which will be a challenging task if the Bloc support it.
(If you are from Quebec, once you have called the 6 MPs below, please also consider calling all the Members of the Bloc. Their phone numbers are here.)
