Opinion
When the going gets tough, the tough get praying….

Amidst the turbulence of our present medical situation in the world, fear and panic is the easy way out.
We, in Alberta, are blessed with a Premier who has stood up for the common man. He has never advocated tough measures nor walking lockstep with our Prime Minister and Dr. Tam. Dr. Hinshaw has maintained a calm response in the face of public pressure.
People of all stripes have an opinion on the origins, prevention and cure for Covid 19.
We can talk about this until the end of 2020, but when the going gets tough, the tough get praying. Petra, a popular Christian rock group, wrote a song called “Get on your knees and fight like a man.”
It is now time to fight like men and women who believe in God and His power to change the world. The only way we, as human beings can change the world is to stand up the bullies, to those who would force their will on us when we do not and will never agree.
Our provincial leaders are now in that place.
Earlier tonight, November 22, I received a whats app message that stated the following:
A friend whos sister- in -law is a neighbor of Jason Kenny just texted me tonight – she said he is asking for prayer tonight and tomorrow. He is feeling intense pressure to bow to the feds to shut Alberta down.
They are also urging people to send him a quick email….telling them they’re praying for him and stand with him for no further lockdowns. Share with others
Now is the time to fight on our knees for OUR province and country.
We do not want a lockdown like Manitoba or Toronto.
There is NO blood running in the streets, patients are not waiting outside hospitals with covid/flu symptoms and nor are schools shut down with no teachers or students. Stores till have staff and our economy is still alive, for now.
This is NO emergency. But it could be if a lockdown is imposed.
PRAY like your life depends on it, because it does.
If the federal government defies the constitution and forces a lockdown, PRAY still that God will heal and protect as he has promised.
Part of a church? Organize a prayer night or get together with your friends. This is the time to act.
If you do not believe in God…pray to your god, send good thoughts and an email supporting NO lockdown if you feel that is right.
There are no atheists in foxholes. I believe that this is a crucial time in Alberta history.
Be part of the victory over Ottawa and help us protect democracy in our province.
Business
Are you an essential worker in the time of COVID?

This is thought provoking article from 19 time Emmy Award winning journalist John Stossel. You may be familiar with Stossel who spent decades with 20/20 and Good Morning America on ABC.
The Dallas Morning News called him “the most consistently thought- provoking TV reporter of our time.” The Orlando Sentinel said “he has the gift for entertaining while saying something profound.”
Stossel left television news to create Stossel TV. He’s hoping short videos and the freedom of not working for a network will help him educate young people in a way not possible when he worked with television news shows. John Stossel started a non-profit to educate youth about the free market. About 10 million students a year discuss liberty and free markets through Stossel in the Classroom.
While his weekly videos are both entertaining and informative, this particular video will certainly appeal to a much wider audience during the days of restricted businesses and higher unemployment due to the COVID19 crisis.
