I have read similar ideas regarding people in power and it makes sense to me. However, I don't agree with your assessment of Canadians. I don't think we believe that the federal government grants us our rights and in our Charter of Rights and Freedoms it clearly states what we have as rights. Covid and the government's response to it has awakened people to realize that they need to hold politicians accountable for their actions, especially when trying to enforce unreasonable rules.
Gwendolyn, I've received a lot of comments from Canadians who are upset that I said this about Canadians. Of course, it is a generalization. Yes, there are some Canadians who believe that their rights come from God, but I think the number (or percentage) is quite low. I had a lengthy discussion with Brian Peckford and I asked him why Canadians have let the government infringe on their rights so dramatically. We both concluded that it's because, in general, Canadians don't believe that their rights come from God. American is far from perfect too, but it is in our DNA because of the Bill of Rights from 1776.
