As Canada faces mounting challenges - economic stagnation, cultural erosion, and overreach from globalist policies - it’s time for a leader who can steer the nation back to its foundational values. Maxime Bernier, leader of the People’s Party of Canada (PPC), stands as the best choice to restore Canada’s greatness, much like Donald Trump has aimed to do in America. With a platform rooted in freedom, responsibility, and a respect for Judeo-Christian principles, Bernier offers a vision that aligns with the heart of what made Canada strong. Here’s why Bernier is the leader Canada needs, through a lens of faith and pragmatism.

A Defender of Individual Freedom and Responsibility

Bernier’s core belief is in “more freedom, less government,” a principle that resonates with the biblical call for personal responsibility. As Proverbs 16:9 reminds us, “The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.” Bernier trusts Canadians to make their own decisions, free from oppressive government mandates. His opposition to vaccine passports and lockdowns during the 2021 election showed his commitment to protecting bodily autonomy - a sacred gift from God (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Unlike leaders who bow to globalist pressures, Bernier’s stance mirrors Trump’s fight against overreach, ensuring Canadians can live according to their conscience, not the state’s whims.

Protecting Canada’s Christian Heritage

Canada was built on Christian values - hard work, family, and moral integrity. Bernier understands this foundation is under attack from radical multiculturalism and policies that prioritize foreign ideologies over Canadian identity. On a Christian Nationalist web show, he expressed a desire to return Canada to a “civilized country” by rejecting divisive diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies that undermine unity (Press Progress, 2025). He’s called for a halt to mass immigration that creates “ghettos,” advocating instead for an immigration system that prioritizes Canadian values, much like Trump’s push to secure America’s borders. As Christians, we’re called to love our neighbors (Mark 12:31), but that doesn’t mean erasing our identity or allowing cultural fragmentation that dishonors the nation God entrusted to us.

Economic Policies Rooted in Biblical Stewardship

Bernier’s economic vision reflects the biblical principle of stewardship—using resources wisely for the good of all (Luke 16:10). He’s a fiscal conservative who wants to slash taxes, eliminate corporate welfare, and end supply management, which artificially inflates prices for essentials like dairy. His push for free markets and reduced government spending ensures families can keep more of their hard-earned money, echoing Trump’s tax cuts that empowered American workers. Bernier’s rejection of the Paris Agreement and the carbon tax - policies that burden Canadians with little proven benefit - shows his commitment to practical, God-honoring governance over globalist agendas. By unlocking Canada’s oil and gas resources, as he discussed in a recent interview, Bernier would create jobs and energy independence, much like Trump’s focus on American energy dominance.

Standing Firm on Moral Issues

Bernier isn’t afraid to tackle moral issues head-on, a trait that aligns with Christian courage. He’s proposed reopening the abortion debate, arguing Canada should join “civilized countries” by restricting late-term abortions - a stance that mirrors Trump’s pro-life policies in the U.S. Life is sacred, as Psalm 139:13-14 declares, and Bernier’s willingness to protect the unborn reflects a heart aligned with God’s design. His rejection of radical ideologies, like those pushing transgender rights at the expense of biological truth, further shows his commitment to biblical principles over societal trends.

A Foreign Policy That Puts Canada First

Bernier’s “Canada First” approach, inspired by Trump’s “America First” motto, prioritizes national sovereignty over globalist entanglements. He’s called for exiting NATO and reevaluating Canada’s role in international alliances, focusing instead on strengthening ties with the U.S. under leaders like Trump who share his pragmatic vision. In a recent interview, he discussed Arctic cooperation and de-dollarization, showing a strategic mindset to protect Canada’s interests in a shifting global economy. As Christians, we’re called to be wise as serpents (Matthew 10:16), and Bernier’s foreign policy ensures Canada isn’t subservient to foreign powers that don’t share our values.

Courage to Confront the Establishment

Bernier’s break from the Conservative Party in 2018 was a bold move, driven by his refusal to compromise on principle. He called the party “intellectually and morally corrupt,” a sentiment that resonates with Christians who see the establishment as drifting from God’s truth. His willingness to challenge orthodoxy, even at the cost of personal political gain, mirrors Trump’s disruption of the Republican elite. Bernier’s authenticity—unlike the “fake patriots” he criticized on Tucker Carlson’s show - shows a leader who prioritizes Canada over personal ambition. This courage is what Canada needs to break free from leaders who pander to globalist agendas.

A Voice for the Forgotten

Bernier speaks for Canadians who feel ignored by the elite - rural workers, small business owners, and faith communities. His rallies have drawn disaffected conservatives who see him as a genuine alternative to the establishment, much like Trump’s appeal to America’s heartland. In Halifax, he promised to “make Canada great again” by cutting wasteful spending (like foreign aid to Africa) and returning money to taxpayers, reflecting a biblical call to care for our own first (1 Timothy 5:8). Bernier’s focus on ending mass immigration ensures Canada can care for its citizens without being overwhelmed, a practical approach that honors God’s command to govern justly.

Resilience in the Face of Adversity

Despite setbacks - losing his Beauce seat in 2019 and 2021, and facing media hostility - Bernier remains steadfast. The PPC’s vote share grew to 5% in 2021, showing his message resonates with Canadians who crave real change. His resilience reflects the Christian virtue of perseverance (James 1:12), much like Trump’s ability to weather relentless attacks while pushing forward. Bernier’s determination to keep fighting for Canada’s future, even when the odds are against him, makes him a leader worth rallying behind.

Making Canada Great Again

Maxime Bernier’s vision for Canada mirrors Trump’s for America: a nation that prioritizes its people, protects its heritage, and governs with wisdom. By defending freedom, upholding Christian values, and putting Canada first, Bernier can restore the greatness that globalist policies have eroded. As Christians, we’re called to pray for leaders who fear God and serve justly (1 Timothy 2:1-2). Bernier, with his unwavering commitment to principle, is the leader Canada needs to rise again—strong, free, and faithful to its roots.

Let’s stand with Bernier and the PPC in the 2025 election to make Canada great again, just as Trump is doing here in America.
