 Let's talk some more about Canada as the 51st state.

 Especially the logistical nightmare it would be, or beecome.

I think President Trump knows this, and that's partly why I feel

he's simply been trolling (now former) Canadiam PM Justin Trudeau, and now

is trolling PM Wanna-Be: Mark Carney, the male with a wicked temper and too 

many ties the globalist Mafia known as the World Economic Forum.

What could Americans look forward to in the absorbing of Canada?

• 43 Million Canadians with a combined superiority and inferiority complex.
• 43 Million Canadians who will no longer have medical coverage. 
• 43 Million Canadians needing Social Security numbers.
• 43 Million Canadians added to the I.R.S.
• 43 Million Canadians needing vetting for security purposes. 
• 43 Million Canadians, some of whom will be added to social security bennefit roles - imagine that, a sudden surge in payouts.
• Canada is a Welfare state - what happens to all those Canadians needing social services. 
• On the topic of money - 43 Million people will demand A*L*L of their Canadian dollars converted to American dollars AT PAR. Imagine the financial burdon on the American system.
• 51st State or 51st through 64th State? 
• Being one big state would assure no more Republican governments.
• Additions to the electoral college.
• Couple of new senators per new state
•  New Congress Critters per state, depending on population.
• Quebec - Nuff said.
• Does America really want the "French" problem?
• First nations issues.
• What to do about Canada being a part of the Commonwealth?
• Britain might have something to say about that.
• Inheriting Canada's national debt, currently somewhere around $1.2 trillion.
• The aforementioned somewhat stuck-up Canadians moving anywhere they want to within the now enormous America. 
• Finicky tea drinkers.

That's just a few things to consider.

 There could be many other nightmares to do with the change.

• What about international treaties Canada has with other nations?
• Trade agreements with other nations.
• Military agreements with other nation.
• The aforementioned commonwealth being a big part of that

In the end, it probably wouldn't be worth it to America, even with all of the mineral rights involved in the change.
Trump knows this, he's just yanking the Canadian leash.

 

What do you do when you get caught short by a snowfall? Well, got a Zamboni? Well why not use it to scrape snow off of your parking lot? That's what this arena did.

 

It's so tremendously obvious, we don't actually have a true media (except maybe independents like Rebel News) what we have is the propaganda arm of leftist political parties such as the Democrats, Labor, or in this case, the Canadian Liberal Party.

 

Don't get me wrong, Scheer was week and ineffective, but he was a better choice than boy blunder with the fancy socks and hair, and name recognition (which is all he had.)

We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.

What is the Christ candle?

The Christ candle represents the light of God come to Earth in human form, the form a baby. That baby came to Earth to go to the cross, to be the sacrifice for all of our sins. His sacrifice made up for the annual temple sacrifice which could never atone once, for all, for all our sins.

From John 1:4-5

In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it

The Christ Candle fills a similar function as the Paschal Candle at Easter. It represents the work of Christ to us, our light in the darkness through his birth, life, death, and resurrection.

What should our response be?

Matthew 5:16 clearly tells us:

16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. And as John said in 1 john 1:5 -7 This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin

Merry Christmas all!

What Does the Fourth Advent Candle Stand for?

While Advent wreaths as we know them have been around for nearly 200 years, the tradition of celebrating Advent goes back much further. As a result, advent wreath designs and the number of Advent candles vary worldwide and across denominations.

In contemporary Western Christianity, the typical Advent wreath has four candles inside an evergreen wreath. Each one is lit during a new week of Advent and has a particular meaning attached to it. Candle 1 is known as “Hope, or sometimes, the Prophet’s Candle,” and it stands for hope. Candle 2 is known as “the Peace, or Bethlehem Candle,” and stands for peace. Candle 3 known as “the Joy Candle” and stands for joy. Candle 4 is known as “the Love Candle, also often called the Angel’s Candle,” and stands for love.

Some Christians add a fifth candle, known as “Christ’s Candle,” which stands for baby Jesus. This candle is lit on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, the culmination of Advent.

 

On the Third Sunday Of Advent, we light the Joy Candle, Otherwise known as the Shepherd Candle, this candle reflects the joy that comes through Jesus’ arrival, and through the salvation he has gifted us.

For the Catholic, Anglican and Lutheran Churches, this Sunday is also often called "Gaudete" (Gaudete is from the Latin, which means Rejoice) So, we are to be joyful at the arrival of our Lord and Savior, Jesus, the Christ. He will save His people.

This is the second Sunday of Advent - the lighting of the Peace Candle, also called the Bethlehem Candle. This candle points to a future of peace, one which will last forever. But first, Christ was to be born in Bethlehem, in the most humble of circumstances. Then, amazingly to some, He needed to go to the Cross, eventually, he will return, then, and only then, will everlasting peace come to pass. It's up to you to understand and receive Him into your heart. Only you can decide that for yourself.

Until that time, we remember the birth of the Christ child, in the most humble of circumstances.

 

 What Is Advent?

Advent is a four-week season in the Church calendar dedicated to anticipating the arrival, or "advent," of Jesus of Nazareth, the long-awaited Messiah and King. Christians from many backgrounds celebrate this time with reflections on hope, peace, love, and joy. And while their practices may look different, all focus on the hope-filled arrival of Jesus.

 Why Is Advent Important?

Advent can be a simple and fun tradition of counting down to Christmas. But for others—particularly those who believe Jesus to be the incarnation of God and the long-awaited Messiah—Advent is a shared experience of meditation and prayer that celebrates the arrival of Jesus.


What about the First Candle of Advent?

The first candle of Advent, represents the Hope of the arrival of the coming Messiah, Jesus, the redeemer. He was to reconcile man to God, sacrificing Himself on the cross to save us.
