VIDEO: Remarkable speech: politician calls for humility and free will

It's very unusual for a politician to utter anything than vaguely religious platitudes when speaking to an audience of Christians. Indeed, many would not even attend such a gathering for fear of offending the non-believers and anti-Christians who dominate the polity in today's secular humanist society. 

Pierre Poilievre, the leader of the Conservative Party of Canada (and, please God, Prime Minister in waiting) is not that type of mealy-mouthed politician. On May 7th, he addressed the National Prayer Breakfast, an annual event held in Ottawa under the authority of the speakers of the Senate and the House of Commons on behalf of the Parliamentary Prayer Breakfast Group. 

M Poilievre had the temerity to bring up some important points that most pols would prefer not to discuss. For instance... "Minister" means "servant", as in servant of the people, someone who ministers to the needs of those who elect them. Being a good minister means being humble and listening to the people.

And another... God told people what's right and what's wrong, and gave them free will to choose beetween the two. He did not try to force His will on the people, but told them what He wanted, and the consequences of doing otherwise.

Finally... At the end of the day, God is in His Heaven, and He will reign, unto the end of time, no matter what mere mortals do. As the psalmist wrote (45:11 DRV): "Be still and see that I am God; I will be exalted amont the nations, and I will be exalted in the earth."
