Opening Words (00:00-00:35)

Part I: It Has Been Awhile (00:35–05:31)
After a brief hiatus, The Confederation Report returns to reflect on major developments—from Nicolás Maduro’s removal and the national backlash against Bill C-9 to the Cántaro Institute’s acquisition of the 171-acre Worldview Campus—while considering these events in light of God’s providence.

Part II: Bill C-9, Clinton, and Allie-Beth Stuckey (05:31–10:19)
Bill C-9 raised serious concerns among Canadians—especially Christians—about the potential criminalization of biblical teaching, prompting a rare nationwide backlash that forced the government to pause the legislation while the cultural debate over truth, empathy, and political coercion continues.

Part III: Drugs, Cartels, and Puerto Vallarta (10:19–13:20)
Following the death of cartel leader “El Mencho” during a Mexican military raid, violent reprisals erupted across western Mexico, exposing the deep instability surrounding cartel power and prompting Christians to pray for justice, repentance, and gospel renewal in the region.

Did You Know? (13:20 –14:04)
On June 2, 1866, Canadian militia forces clashed with Fenian insurgents at the Battle of Ridgeway—the last foreign invasion fought on Ontario soil—an engagement that left nine Canadians dead and later helped inspire the tradition that evolved into modern Remembrance Day.
