Hey, Did Anyone Figure Out Who Burned Those Churches?

You know, these churches:

55 Christian churches in Canada have been vandalized, burned down or desecrated since the announcement last month of the apparent discovery of graves found near a residential school in Kamloops, BC.

Since then, three other first nations have announced similar findings of burial sites located near former residential schools. 

In response to these announcements, far-left radicals have used this opportunity as an excuse to terrorize Catholic and other Christian communities by targeting churches.

21 churches across the country have been lit on fire in the past two months, many of them have been completely destroyed.

A cross that stood atop Mount Tzouhalem in Cowichan, BC., was mysteriously removed sometime during the week of July 12th. Law enforcement have not provided an update on any potential suspects.

Vancouver police are calling on witnesses to report suspicious activity around churches, following a major spike in crimes at religious properties.

“We’re reminding people to be proactive and to report anything unusual at church properties, because we’re concerned this could escalate into a situation where someone gets badly hurt,” said Sgt. Steve Addison.

“If you see anyone who looks suspicious and you think they’re about to commit a crime, please don’t hesitate to call 9-1-1.”

The department is currently investigating 13 incidents of “mischief and vandalism” relating to churches and church properties that have taken place since June 2.

Rocks being thrown through windows, buildings defaced with paint, and threats of arson are among the incidents listed by VPD, who has assigned specialized investigators from the Property Crime Unit to gather evidence.

When there are nearly 50 Christian churches from coast to coast suffering everything from vandalism to full destruction, it is a huge national event that calls for extraordinary responses from both government and police forces. This is nothing less than a sustained, violent and hateful rampage targeting a particular faith. It is a bigotry of fire, not words.

Yet, on the political front, considering the scale of these events, the reaction has been utterly underwhelming.

 

Or are some people more special than others?: 

At a July 2021 summit on “Islamophobia,” National Council of Canadian Muslims submitted a 100-page proposal to the Liberal government to counter anti-Muslim prejudice in Canada.

When asked if he would adopt the proposal, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau responded by saying “we’re going to move forward” on the recommendations.

According to conservative journalist and social critic Ezra Levant, the demands contain “more police and political tools than Pakistan to hunt down anything judged to be critical of Islam.”

 There are 61 recommendations in the proposal, covering everything from internet censorship and amendments to the criminal code to a cut back in terrorism investigations. Additionally, the proposal calls for the Islamic faith to be promoted throughout schools, media and the arts across Canada.

Why not some pointless virtue-signalling and attempts to erase history?:

And while renaming institutions, streets and even townships has been an ongoing part of Canadian history, the intention behind it reflects where we are historically.

 

Weak, unsure of ourselves and ready to sate a mob.

Youth from the non-profit Chokecherry Studios painted a few crosswalks orange along Broadway Avenue.

The inspiration for the project came from a ’60s Scoop survivor, Rob Denham, who reached out in June with the idea to memorialize Indigenous children who never returned from residential schools.

 

Because that will fix everything!
