Stop Bill C9: A Call to Speak, Make the Calls, and Reclaim Our Nation

2026-01-15

Bill C9 in the Canadian Parliament intends to strip religious exemptions from existing hate speech laws, effectively allowing the Federal Government to interfere and dictate what gets preached from the pulpit with 2 years in Jail for quoting the Bible. Marc Miller, a personal friend of Trudeau, our Minister of Culture and Chair of the Justice Committee has called the Bible Hate Speech. We need to stop this and we can.

Friends, I'm speaking to you this morning with urgency and boldness. We are at a crossroads. The stakes are real. We are being asked to choose between quiet complacency and active, unified resistance to laws and ideologies that would silence the voice of faith and erode the foundations of our nation.

Why this matters

Our concern is not partisan theater; it is spiritual and civic. When laws are proposed that effectively allow the state to decide which religious words are acceptable, the result is chilling: pastors, small churches and ordinary citizens will have to censor themselves or face legal and financial ruin.

The removal of legal protections for religious expression sends a clear signal: speech from the pulpit can be treated as suspect. That transforms prayerful persuasion into a potential crime. This is not theoretical. Small congregations without deep pockets would be exposed to ruinous lawsuits and legal costs even if the charges ultimately fail.

Our historical lens: lessons from Esther and the prophets

The story of Esther is a template for action. Mordecai refused to be silent and called Esther to act despite personal risk. When boldness met obedience, deliverance followed. That same principle applies now. Waiting passively while decisions are made behind closed doors guarantees that deliverance will come from another hand, not ours.

God refines and prepares people for moments like this. Like the polished arrow held in the quiver, believers have been sharpened quietly. The call now is to step from the shadow and release that arrow of truth into public life.

What we will do — a practical plan

Words without action are empty. Our plan is simple and strategic, and it leverages a powerful civic tool: phone calls. Over the next days we will

Make targeted phone calls to parliamentarians and decision-makers so their offices hear directly from constituents.
Use a shared script to keep messages clear, firm and respectful. You do not need to be a polished speaker — authenticity matters more than polish.
Distribute the load so calls are spread evenly across offices and dates, creating a sustained pressure the government cannot ignore.

How to participate (simple steps)

Register with the campaign so you get the call list and script. www.4MyCanada.com
Find the section that corresponds to your name to get your daily numbers.
Make at least five calls per day during the designated period. Leave a clear message if you reach voicemail.
Pray and fast as you feel led — combine spiritual preparation with practical action.

Making five calls a day takes about 10–15 minutes. Imagine the impact if hundreds or thousands of us commit: tens of thousands of calls become impossible to ignore.

What to say on the call - It's all in the scripts

It's all in the scripts at 4MyCanada.com
Be direct, calm, and resolute. Here are the essentials to include:

Your name and that you are a constituent.
That you oppose legislation which removes protections for religious speech.
A clear request: ask the MP to oppose the bill or to ensure religious defenses remain.
A polite close: thank them for their time and ask for a response if possible.

Why phone calls work

Email can be deleted, and petitions can be dismissed. But when phones ring en masse, offices feel it physically. Call volumes shape political calculations. Pressure from engaged citizens has stopped harmful measures before; it can do so again if we sustain it now.

Spiritual posture: pray, speak, act

This is not a mere political campaign. It is a spiritual movement. We stand in prayer and then move with courage. Our words are not idle. Scripture says life and death are in the tongue. Speaking truth in love and declaring justice is an exercise of stewardship over our national voice.

Expect resistance. Expect attempts to intimidate or to delegitimize our efforts. That only shows the power of what we say. When the pressure mounts, our unity becomes the lever God uses to move mountains.

Practical encouragements

Small churches matter: If you lead a modest congregation, know that your voice and the voice of your members count. Protecting legal protections for religious speech protects everyone.
Spread the load: Invite a friend to join. Multiply your impact by calling together or sharing the registration link.
Document your effort: Keep a quick record of who you called and when — that helps show sustained action.

Final exhortation

Do not shrink back into pleasant complacency. Love sometimes has a hard edge when it confronts injustice. When faith communities stand together and use their civic rights, governments are forced to listen. We are not called to violence or chaos. We are called to speak, to stand, and to act—out of love for our neighbours and our nation.

The wait is over. You have been refined and prepared. Now is the time to step forward, pick up the phone, and speak with conviction. When we act in unity, what seems immovable begins to shift.
