In the midst of escalating global tensions, particularly with the disastrous Epstein War in Iran initiated by Trump and Netanyahu, Canadians cannot afford to ignore the troubling behaviours of our political leaders at home. Recently, Canada's Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has faced significant ridicule in Politico, raising serious concerns about his leadership. Furthermore, revelations regarding a secret meeting involving his team, including Andrew Scheer, in Washington, DC, have sparked alarm regarding our national sovereignty. When pressed for details, Scheer's inability to recall who he met with is not just dismissive; it's alarming.This situation demands transparency from our leaders. The Conservative ties to the Trump regime, especially regarding discussions on separation and funding, cannot be taken lightly. As discussed on Keith Leslie's and Mark Cripps' panel with host Laura Babcock, these are not merely political missteps but threats to our very identity as a nation. Moreover, we must hold Ontario Premier Doug Ford accountable for his Trump-style power grabs, and his failure to keep promises on key issues such as housing and healthcare, his controversial plans for Toronto Airport, and the OSAP program for students and one of his appointments in Niagara had to resign for having a signed copy of Hitler's manifesto! His actions are undermining the trust that Canadians place in their government, and calls for protests are happening.Meanwhile, Prime Minister Mark Carney is impressing Canadians and the world with his leadership and investments in protecting the North.There's so much at stake right now. We need to engage with these critical discussions and demand answers from our leaders. Let's not remain passive while our sovereignty is put at risk by hidden agendas.

It's Wednesday, August 20th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Muslim Nigerians killed 7,000 Christians this year A Nigerian-based nonprofit reports Islamic extremists have killed over 7,000 Christians in the country so far this year. The International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law also found that nearly 8,000 Christians were violently seized and abducted.  The report notes this translates into “an average of 30 Christian deaths per day and more than one per hour.” Since 2009, Jihadists in Nigeria have killed over 125,000 Christians and destroyed nearly 20,000 church buildings.  Please pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ in Nigeria. The country is ranked seventh on the Open Doors' World Watch List of the most difficult countries to be a Christian.  Psalm 14:4 asks, “Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and do not call on the LORD?” Absurd charges dropped against Scottish pro-life grandmother Authorities in Scotland dropped charges against a 75-year-old grandmother who was arrested for holding a sign near an abortion mill.  Back in February, Rose Docherty held a sign that read: “Coercion is a crime, here to talk, only if you want.” Officials arrested her for violating a “buffer zone” law that restricts free expression near abortion mills. Docherty reacted to her case being dropped. She said, “This is a victory not just for me, but for everyone in Scotland who believes we should be free to hold a peaceful conversation.” Conservative Canadian Pierre Poilievre wins election In Canada, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre (pronounced PAH-lee-ev) won a special election in the province of Alberta on Monday.  Poilievre heads back to Canada's parliament after losing his seat earlier this year. He will continue his work as the opposition leader against Canada's ruling Liberal Party. Listen to comments from Poilievre. POILIEVRE: “We will work together. We will fight together. We will sacrifice together to restore the opportunity that our grandparents left for us, so that we can leave it for our grandchildren, so that we can once again restore a country that is strong, self-reliant and sovereign. That is why we stay united. That is why we go forward. May God keep our land glorious and free.” Trump wants to end mail-in ballots In the United States, President Donald Trump said Monday that he wants to end mail-in ballots as well as voting machines. Listen to comments from Trump.  TRUMP:  “You can never have a real democracy with mail in ballots. We, as a Republican Party, are going to do everything possible that we get rid of mail-in ballots. We're going to start with an executive order, that's being written right now by the best lawyers in the country, to end mail-in ballots because they're corrupt.” Trump wrote on Truth Social, “With their HORRIBLE Radical Left policies, like Open Borders, Men Playing in Women's Sports, Transgender and ‘WOKE' for everyone, and so much more, Democrats are virtually Unelectable without using this completely disproven Mail-In SCAM.” Bank of America will stop "debanking" conservatives The New York Post reports that Bank of America scrapped a rule used to “debank” conservatives. Major banks have also used the rule to deny services to religious groups, especially Evangelical ones.  JP Morgan Chase dropped the rule last year. Bank of America finally followed suit.  Jeremy Tedesco with Alliance Defending Freedom said, “Over the past two years, ADF and our partners in both the private and public sectors have repeatedly engaged with Bank of America's leadership to advocate for this change.” Fewer Americans are moving The Wall Street Journal reports that U.S. domestic migration rates are down. Only 7.9% of Americans relocated to a new town or city last year, down from about 20% in the 1950s and 60s. The rate has been steadily declining since then. People are also moving less within their own county. That rate is down 47% over the past three decades.  The falling domestic migration rates are associated with high mortgage rates, dual-income households, an aging population, and remote job opportunities.  Church-engaged Christians have less stress, anxiety, and loneliness And finally, the American Bible Society released the fifth chapter of its State of Bible: USA 2025 report. The chapter measured church engagement as the level of a person's involvement in the life, mission, and community of a local church. Only 34% of self-identified Christians attend church weekly. In terms of generations, Gen Z had the lowest levels of church engagement. Women, married people, Evangelicals, and people in small cities were more likely to be highly engaged with their church. John Plake with the American Bible Society said, “Our survey shows that church-engaged Christians have significantly less stress, less anxiety, less loneliness, and more hope.” Hebrews 10:24-25 says, “And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, August 20th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).
