What happens when a nation turns its back on God—and its people no longer understand the foundations of their own freedoms?

On this Empower Hour, Tanya Gaw, founder and director of Action4Canada, Challenges the Expansive Interpretation of “Religion” under the Charter, examines the Biblical consequences of idolatry, and calls Canadians to defend our nation’s Christian Biblical foundations and return to God’s commandments.

This message concerns every Canadian. What we believe about the source of authority, the purpose of government and the limits of its power affects our families, our schools, our laws and our freedoms. We cannot effectively defend our inheritance if we do not understand it—or recognize what is at stake when it is abandoned.

Tanya’s research challenges the expansive interpretation of “religion” under Section 2(a) of the Charter. She examines the historical development of the term and argues that Canada’s constitutional commitments must be understood in light of its Christian foundations, the Coronation Oath, and the Charter’s recognition of the supremacy of God and the rule of law.

What does acknowledging the supremacy of God require of those who govern—and of us as citizens? Can a nation expect His blessing while rejecting His authority?

Drawing on Exodus 20, Tanya addresses God’s commandments against worshipping other gods and idols, the Biblical warnings about disobedience, and the call to repentance and renewed faithfulness. These questions demand serious consideration from every citizen who desires to see our nation restored.

Pastors have a responsibility to proclaim the whole counsel of God. Parents must teach the next generation. Citizens must become informed and hold those exercising public authority accountable. Each of us has a part to play.

Sign up in advance for this important presentation and share it with your family, friends, pastor and congregation. Becoming informed is the first step; putting that knowledge into action is our responsibility.

Canada: Christian Persecution—US Senator Sounds Alarm

In case you missed it! Tanya Gaw welcomed Oklahoma State Senator Shane Jett to discuss his recent visit to Canada and concerns about the treatment of Christians. Understanding Canada’s Christian foundations must lead to holding our leaders accountable for defending them.

Senator Jett’s outreach to parliamentarians regarding Bill C-9 led to a meeting with Tanya and collaboration on a letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney. His challenge: honour your oath, defend Canada’s Christian inheritance, and uphold the public trust.

The discussion and letter connect the Coronation Oath to the responsibilities of public office, raising concerns about safeguards for Biblical expression, freedom of speech and assembly, and the protection of churches and synagogues.

We encourage you to share the letter and the interview with your pastor, elected representatives, family and friends. Canadians must insist that those entrusted with public authority honour their solemn commitments.

Alberta: Stealth Jihad In Plain Sight

In this Empower Hour, Tanya Gaw provided a powerful presentation on Action4Canada’s August 2025 Investigative Report: Islamic Networks, Ideology, and Infiltration in Alberta. The report examines Islamic networks, including the Muslim Brotherhood, and their objectives concerning education, finance, charitable organizations and political entryism.

The report prompted a meeting with senior Alberta government officials, who requested that Action4Canada provide policy recommendations on immigration, terrorism and the Muslim Brotherhood. Yet A4C has received no substantive response from Premier Danielle Smith’s government. Tanya also addressed efforts over the past year and a half to secure a Conservative MP’s sponsorship of an e-petition calling for the Muslim Brotherhood to be designated a terrorist organization. Successive MPs have declined.

Canadians deserve answers. Political sensitivities must never place an organization or its activities beyond scrutiny—or excuse a failure to enforce Canadian law.

Tanya also addressed Stealth Jihad through the expansion of halal meat in Canada. In halal meat slaughter, a Muslim worker invokes the name of Allah (a false god). Muslim leaders describe halal as a means “to conquer the world through the halal movement.”

Tanya spoke directly with Costco’s meat manager, Ernest Campbell, who said that every air-chill poultry plant in Canada supplies only halal chicken and that Costco had no choice. He told her to take up the issue with the processors. After a rancher reached out to challenge that account saying 95% of slaughter is non-halal, Tanya called several chicken processors herself. They told her they supply non-halal chicken and that buyers have to request halal. That directly contradicts Mr Campbell’s claim that the industry supplies only halal chicken. Where Costco offers organic as its only non-halal option, members who want to avoid halal chicken are left paying a premium. Why should members have to pay more because 5% of the muslim population demand special privilege? This is outrageous and it must be stopped.

Costco has the buying power to drive change. Sign and share the petition to Ban Halal meat. Citizens have consumer power. Christmas is the busiest shopping season. Are you willing to boycott Costco to defend your nation against a foreign threat?

If you missed this presentation, please make time to watch it and share it widely. Read the report, examine its supporting evidence, and bring your questions to elected officials. Public accountability begins with informed citizens willing to act.
