As I do every year in this space, I like to remind Canadians and Americans too that in Canada, Thanksgiving is actually a Godly, Christian celebration for the purpose of thanking God. “God almighty”, specifically. As we know, liberals are against that.
Yes that’s right, Thanksgiving is a national, Godly holiday in Canada by official parliamentary proclamation back in the 1950’s and earlier, actually.
Church and state. In Canada. Oh my
God
heavens
word. The end is nigh. Wake the kids and call the dog. Head for the hills. Soon we’ll be a theocracy just like Iran. Oh the humanity. COTLER!
Yes again, as we know, this all ain’t liberal. So they can eat their beans and tofu on Thanksgiving instead, and go to work on Monday, even though it’s a state holiday based on a pure Canadian, Christian tradition. That’s fine. They’re modern.
The background on Canada’s Thanksgiving as it pertains to its official designation in Canada is this: in Canada, officially speaking, and by official proclamation in Canada’s Parliament (that’s the state!) it is:
“A day of general Thanksgiving to Almighty God for the
bountiful harvest with which Canada has been blessed.”
Yes that’s right. On January 31, 1957, Parliament (that’s the state!) issued a proclamation with that wording to permanently fix the second Monday in October as Thanksgiving… in order for the nation to thank God Almighty!
And that makes me happy. I love this great Canadian Christian tradition, as I love my country the way it was established based on sound Judeo-Christian values and a strong, brave, pioneering, entrepreneurial, freedom and democracy-loving foundation.
Liberals who constantly lament with their dire post-modern “Church and state! Church and state!” warnings as their official proclamation, would apparently seek to correct the poorly drafted actual history of Canada and its even more poorly drafted (by liberals) Constitution I guess, and maybe add some wording to it to abolish this egregious act of church and state and this great Canadian Christian traditionalism. They could add their Godless liberal verbiage right under the part at the very beginning where it says, in our Canadian Constitution,
Whereas Canada is founded upon the principles that recognize the supremacy of God and the rule of law…
Don’t forget to nix that stupid Christmas too. And Easter. And don’t stop there, secular “progressives”—change that whole “year” thing too since it’s all based on Jesus.
P.S.: As if on cue, the liberals’ Globe and Mail got a poll up and running today that asks about what they call “the holiday weekend”, and offers a choice of what to be thankful for. Note what’s missing among the only possible choices.
