Canada at the Crossroads: Lament, Law, and the Lordship of Christ

On this Canada Day episode of the Podcast for Cultural Reformation, Dr. Michael Thiessen is joined by Dr. Joe Boot and Dr. Aaron Rock for a wide-ranging conversation on the state of Canada in 2026.

Is Canada a nation to celebrate, lament, or both? They reflect on the spiritual and cultural condition of the country, the continuing relevance of George Grant’s Lament for a Nation, the dangers of progressivism and statism, and the urgent need for Christians to recover a biblical vision of law, liberty, nationhood, and public life.

From church leadership and Christian education to government overreach, surveillance, and the question of whether Canada will live under God’s law or man’s law, this episode calls Christians away from despair and toward faithful, hopeful, generational obedience under the lordship of Jesus Christ.
