Back from Quebec, one thing stands out more than anything else: the story many don’t want told.

More than 100 churches across Canada have been vandalised, damaged, or burned in recent years. Some dismiss individual incidents as isolated: old buildings, accidental fires, abandoned sites. But at a certain point, coincidence stops being a convincing explanation. Patterns emerge. And when they do, the refusal to seriously investigate them becomes a story in itself.

The deeper issue isn’t just the attacks — it’s the silence. Coverage has been minimal. Questions go unasked. Authorities appear reluctant to even acknowledge the scale of what’s happening, let alone explore why. Whether it’s negligence or discomfort, the effect is the same: a story fading into the background that arguably shouldn’t.

At the same time, on the global stage, something far more visible, but just as underreported, is unfolding.

In Washington, direct talks between Israel and Lebanon have quietly broken decades-old taboos. For the first time since the early 1990s, representatives from both sides are meeting face-to-face, discussing what could become a lasting peace arrangement. That alone signals a major geopolitical shift.

What makes it even more telling is who isn’t in the room.

France, once a dominant influence in Lebanon, is absent. Despite its historical ties and frequent commentary on Middle Eastern affairs, it has been sidelined in favour of a more direct, American-led approach. That absence speaks volumes about where real influence currently lies.

Meanwhile, European powers are floating ambitious post-war plans: missions to secure shipping routes, rebuild regions and stabilise economies. But many of these proposals come with a catch: they only start after the hard part is over. After conflict subsides. After others have done the heavy lifting.

That disconnect, between rhetoric and action, is becoming harder to ignore.

More than 50 Christian places of worship have been burned or vandalized in a wave of targeted attacks against Christian Canadians, yet government leaders and the RCMP have responded with alarming indifference. As these acts of persecution risk becoming normalized, we must take action. This petition calls on Prime Minister Mark Carney, RCMP Commissioner Michael Duheme, and Minister of Public Safety David McGuinty to recognize these attacks as acts of domestic terrorism and hate, take decisive action to end them, and ensure the safety of Christian communities. Regardless of your faith, stand with us by signing and sharing this petition to Save Our Churches.

    The Christians of Lebanon will probably be the first to cheer Israel’s decision to attach the country’s south. They’ve learned what happens when you allow the Muslims to settle in the country, and probably wouldn’t mind seeing a lot of them leave. It used to be a wonderful place until it got a serious dose of Islam.

    Great Freudian slip there, Ezra. LOL! France has NOT been a normal place since 1916 and Verdun.
