JD Vance sounds alarm over slew of Canadian church burnings: ‘Anti-Christian bigotry’

The US Vice President-elect re-posted Conservative MP Jamil Jivani’s recent message regarding Christian persecution in Canada, saying ‘Jamil is speaking the truth’ and ‘shame on journalists who refuse to see what’s obvious.’

The recent rash of arson and vandalism attacks on mostly Catholic churches in Canada has drawn the attention of U.S. Vice President-elect JD Vance, who called the burnings a display of “anti-Christian bigotry.”

“Canada has seen a number of church burnings in recent years thanks to anti-Christian bigotry,” Vance wrote on X last Friday.

“All over the world, Christians are the most persecuted religious group.”

Vance’s X posting included a re-post of a posting from Conservative MP Jamil Jivani’s recent message regarding Christian persecution in Canada that LifeSiteNews reported last week.

Vance said that “Jamil is speaking the truth.”

“Shame on journalists who refuse to see what’s obvious,” he added.

Last week, Jivani, citing continued persecution of Christians in Canada, launched an initiative calling on “all levels of government” to put an end to “anti-Christian bigotry.”

The “Protect Christians in Canada” initiative seeks to raise awareness and end “anti-Christian bigotry in Canadian institutions.”

Jivani was recently elected as a Conservative MP in a by-election and since that time has been outspoken in his defense of Christians.

The church burnings started in 2021 after the mainstream media and the federal government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ran with inflammatory and dubious claims that hundreds of children were buried and disregarded by Catholic priests and nuns who ran some of the now-closed residential schools.

As a result of the claims, since the spring of 2021, 112 churches, most of them Catholic, many of them on indigenous lands that serve the local population, have been burned to the ground, vandalized, or defiled in Canada.

The latest of these attacks occurred last month.

The legacy media and the Trudeau government have implied that the Catholic Church is complicit in the deaths of thousands of indigenous Canadians who attended government-mandated residential schools.

However, these claims have never been proved. In October, retired Manitoba judge Brian Giesbrecht said Canadians are being “deliberately deceived by their own government” after blasting the Trudeau government for “actively pursuing” a policy that blames the Catholic Church for the unfounded “deaths and secret burials” of Indigenous children.

Giesbrecht observed that the reality is historical records “clearly show” “the children who died of disease or accident while attending residential school were all given Christian burials, with their deaths properly recorded.”

Trump fires chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff, appoints new military leader

President Donald Trump announced Friday the dismissal of General Charles Brown, the current Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump expressed his gratitude toward Brown for his extensive contributions and leadership, wishing him and his family a prosperous future. Brown’s departure marks a pivotal moment in U.S. military leadership following over 40 years of service.

“I want to thank General Charles “CQ” Brown for his over 40 years of service to our country, including as our current Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He is a fine gentleman and an outstanding leader, and I wish a great future for him and his family,” Trump wrote.

Simultaneously, Trump introduced his nominee for Brown’s successor.

“Today, I am honored to announce that I am nominating Air Force Lieutenant General Dan “Razin” Caine to be the next Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. General Caine is an accomplished pilot, national security expert, successful entrepreneur, and a “warfighter” with significant interagency and special operations experience,” Trump said.

Trump said Caine’s appointment comes after he was overlooked for advancement during former President Joe Biden’s presidency.

“General Caine was passed over for promotion by Sleepy Joe Biden. But not anymore! Alongside Secretary Pete Hegseth, General Caine and our military will restore peace through strength, put America First, and rebuild our military,” Trump said. President Trump also announced plans to appoint five additional senior military officials, tasks he has delegated to Secretary Hegseth.

It was reported Thursday that Hegseth plans to dismiss Brown as part of President Trump’s commitment to eliminate “wokeness” from the military. Brown reportedly appears on a list of proposed removals submitted to Congress.

Brown had previously expressed his wish to retain his position even after Trump took office, and according to sources speaking to NBC News in Dec. 2024, Trump seemingly moderated his views on the general. Biden nominated Brown as chairman in 2023, and despite a heated confirmation hearing where senators scrutinized his alleged implementation of racial quotas in Air Force hiring practices, he was confirmed.

Meanwhile, Brown’s replacement, Caine, took office as the associate director for Military Affairs at the CIA on Nov. 3, 2021, after serving as the director of Special Programs at the Pentagon. Lt. Gen. Dan Caine, an F-16 pilot with extensive experience including over 150 combat hours, was commissioned in 1990 and has held numerous key roles, from the White House staff to special operations, and balances his military career with entrepreneurial ventures.
