Canada Was Built on Christianity. What Happened?
With Allan and Corri Hunsperger · Guest: Bryan Brulotte
Entrepreneur, former Canadian Armed Forces officer and public intellectual Bryan Brulotte joins us to talk about the Christian foundation Canada was built on and what happens when a country walks away from it. From our hospitals and schools to the rule of law, individual rights and the responsibility to serve others, Christianity helped shape much of what Canadians now take for granted. Bryan looks at where Canada lost its way, why he still has hope for our country, and what it will take to rebuild the values that made Canada strong in the first place.
