One of the striking thing about this protest is that there are no riot shields.
I see riot shields at various protests.
But not here.
Riot shields are defensive.
But there is no need to defend yourself from peaceful protestors.

More churches in Canada when interviewing a pastoral candidate need to ask if he is ready to go to prison for the sake of the gospel.
I never heard it until I came to Grande Prairie.
But with Canada's legal trajectory, our pastors need to be ready to suffer and rejoice.

There is an important pronoun in Acts 2: "They sold THEIR property."
Generosity in the New Testament is not coerced and private property (re the 8th commandment) is assumed.
So there is not much that is socialist abut the NT.
