Hollywood would recast the Christmas story. Joseph’s collar is way too blue. Mary is green from inexperience. The couple’s star power doesn’t match the bill. Too obscure, too simple. The story warrants some headliners. And what about the shepherds? Do they sing? A good public relations firm would move the birth to a big city. The Son of God deserves a royal entry. Less peasant, more pizazz.

But we didn’t design the hour. God did. And God was content to enter the world in the presence of sleepy sheep and a wide-eyed carpenter. No spotlights, just candlelight. No crowns, just cows chewing cud. If God was willing to wrap himself in rags, then all questions about his love for you are off the table. When Christ was born, so was our hope. That’s why I love Christmas.

A record 16,499 people were killed by euthanasia in Canada in 2024, totaling 5.1% of all death in the country.  

Since euthanasia was legalized in 2016 there have been a reported 76,475 instances of euthanasia or assisted suicide in the country.  

While many may believe that chronic pain is the primary reason for a request for euthanasia, that is not the case. 

The primary factors cited by those who requested euthanasia were a loss of independence, perceiving themselves as a burden on their family, friends, or caregivers, and emotional distress.  

Individuals who need love, care, and compassion are instead being treated like animals. Euthanasia and assisted suicide are a terrible injustice and violation of the sanctity of life.
