Notes from the Producer
This week Andrew Crapuchettes talks to Andrew DeBartolo, a Canadian pastor representing Liberty Coalition Canada, a group of clergy, politicians, and business leaders that formed during Trudeau’s oppressive Covid-19 response.
Originally meeting in secret with cellphones banned, Liberty Coalition Canada has exploded into a national movement that courageously stands for freedom by engaging in political advocacy, mobilizing pro-freedom Canadians, and providing legal aid for those who have been discriminated against through lawless mandates. Andrew DeBartolo shares stories from the front lines of the Canadian struggle for freedom.
Andrew Talks About
The spiritual journey that led him to become a pastor, and how hard circumstances led him to Kingston, Ontario.
40% of Kingston’s jobs are in the government sector, there are multiple prisons around the city, and it is home to one of the most liberal universities on the continent.
When the shutdowns began, Andrew quickly figured out that there was much more going on than just a concern for Canadian’s health.
High-profile Canadians began pushing back against tyranny and coordinating efforts within government, business, medicine, the church, and making their presence known on social media.
LCC founded the ‘End the Lockdowns' caucus, supported legal cases, and educated Canadians about their rights.
Candian legal wins seem small to the legal triumphs that Americans have seen in recent months.
Only 2 Universities say that they will enforce vaccine mandates this fall.
The rallies around the country have been led by the church, and their passion for freedom was given an international stage by the Trucker Convoy.
In Canada, the conservative party is quite liberal (pro-euthenasia, pro-abortion, etc.).
There are new, truly conservative parties on the political scene, but it will take time for them to grow into a meaningful alternative to the current “conservative” party.
Many Canadian businesses rose up and pushed back against the government, with varying results.
