Police Consultant Claims Freedom Convoy Was A Deceitful ‘Movement By Right-Wing Christians’ To Recruit New Followers

According to a consultant with the Ottawa police, the Freedom convoy, which took place in early 2022, was a deceptive “movement by right-wing Christians,” in an effort to manipulate Canadians into being converted to Christ.

In an email to officers, consultant Erin Kelly, the CEO of Advanced Symbolics Inc, insisted that the “real agenda” behind the protests had nothing to do with vaccine mandates.

“Given that today is the Lord’s Day, we are starting to see some of the real agenda here,” Kelly wrote to police. 

The consultant claimed that the “religious images” being posted on Social Media were “more evidence this isn’t about vaccine mandates.”

“It’s a movement by right-wing Christians who used mandates as a pretense to gain a following and privileged access as ‘protesters,’” she insisted.

“If they’d said ‘join us for a Christian rally in Ottawa’ no one would have come,” Kelly asserted.

LifeSite News reported that in response to Kelly’s “important insights” then-Ottawa police chief Peter Sloly “ordered the information from the Christian groups to be sent to all police managers.”

According to Blacklocks, “documents did not disclose how much police paid for surveillance of Christian imagery at the protests”

The Canadian Freedom convoy was highly successful, resulting not only in worldwide support but the dropping of overreaching vaccine mandates in multiple Canadian Provinces. 

Additionally, the Liberal government’s crackdown on the protests sparked outrage, including from members of the European Union, who called the methods used to disperse freedom convoy supporters and the freezing of bank accounts a ‘disgrace to any democracy.’

Religious Freedom has been further degraded by the Liberal Trudeau government in Canada. In the same month the freedom convoy began, the demonization of God’s standard of morality was used to enact an “anti-conversion therapy” law criminalizing the teaching of biblical sexuality.

This increasing hostility to Believers and Biblical truth, according to the apostle Paul, is a harbinger of the soon return of Christ. In his letter to Timothy, Paul warns that “in the last days perilous times shall come” in which “men of corrupt minds” will be “reprobate concerning the faith” (2 Tim. 3:8, also see 2 Tim. 3:12-13).

“If there was any question about Justin Trudeau’s totalitarian regime and discrimination against Christians, look no further than the case of Pastor Artur Pawlowski, who [spent weeks] behind bars – without a trial,” noted Stand up for the Truth host David Fiorazo earlier this year. “He was recently denied bail. Having been arrested five times and jailed three times since COVID was unleashed on the world, you might think he was a violent criminal. Nope. But as one reporter concluded: Canadian officials can’t tell the difference between a criminal and a Christian.”

“[Canada’s] leadership and power elites have abandoned God, reason, truth, and freedom,” Fiorazo stressed.

Antisemitic Delusion: Even Amid Venezuelan Chaos, Israel Is Blamed As The Villan Pulling The Strings

Not everyone shared in this victory. Some were very critical of Trump, and others were deluded enough in their minds to blame Israel. Yes, that's right, they blamed Israel, and once again, Candace Owens was leading the charge. "Within minutes, Candace Owens reframed Venezuela's liberation into an Israel-centric conspiracy, declaring that 'Zionists cheer every regime change because they steal land, oil, and other resources.'"

Hunted For Faith In Christ: Shining A Spotlight On The Crisis Faced By Nigerian And Syrian Believers

Those speaking out against these atrocities are concerned over the lack of coverage by prominent news sources and attention from political leaders around the world. Some have attributed the removal of nations, such as Nigeria, from the Countries of Particular Concern (CPC) and lifting of U.S. sanctions on Syria as global measures that would have otherwise kept pressure on entities that severely violate international religious freedom.

Bold Ambassadors For Christ Who Were Powerfully Used By God In 2025

In the case of some, it was God's sovereignty that permitted tragic events to unfold, knowing the impact of the Gospel would be worth the cost. In other instances, God raised individuals into higher positions of responsibility, knowing that their prioritizing of Jesus above all else would provide opportunities to proclaim Biblical truth in powerful ways. Here is a list of Christians who were used by God in 2025 to make a tremendous impact.
