When Senator Shane Jett walked into the Capital City Bikers Church in Ottawa, he wasn’t there for a sermon—he was there to read a letter he’d mailed to Canada’s Parliament, urging lawmakers to reconsider a law that could silence pastors across the nation.

Letter to Canada and Bill C‑9

In early October, Jett, a former Navy intelligence officer and experienced banking executive, sent a detailed missive to members of the Canadian Parliament. The letter cited the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, adopted in 1982, and singled out Bill C‑9, the Combating Hate Act, as a clear departure from longstanding protections for religious speech. He warned that the bill “removing a longstanding defense for good faith expression of opinion based on a religious text” could expose pastors to criminal liability simply for quoting Scripture.

Jett’s outreach sparked a response from a small but vocal group of conservative, Bible‑believing Canadians. Their willingness to engage demonstrates that even in a nation perceived as liberal, there remains a remnant of faith‑based legislators willing to push back against what they view as governmental overreach.

Free Speech and the Bikers Church

At the Capital City Bikers Church, Jett joined Pastor Rob and Melissa McKee, leaders of what he described as “absolute patriots of the First Order.” Together they discussed the broader implications of Bill C‑9 and encouraged Canadian Christians to contact their representatives. Jett highlighted the work of Action for Canada (actionforcanada.ca), an organization founded eleven years ago to mobilize conservative voices.

He also referenced a Canadian activist known as “Billboard Chris,” who campaigns against gender‑transition surgeries for minors. Jett said, “If you hold your peace, that’s tacit consent,” drawing a parallel between silence on controversial issues and the acceptance of policies that undermine religious liberty.

Islamization Concerns in Texas and Oklahoma

Shifting focus back to the United States, Jett warned listeners about what he termed the “Islamization” of Texas and Oklahoma. He noted an “explosion” in the number of mosques and Islamic centers, attributing the trend to both legal immigration and undocumented entry. According to Jett, the growth has led to attempts to normalize Sharia law within local institutions, a development he believes threatens the constitutional framework of the United States.

He cited two Texas members of Congress—Representative Chip Roy and Representative Keith Self—as allies in confronting these challenges, emphasizing the need for coordinated legislative action at both state and federal levels.

Brazil Connection and Global Freedom

Closing the conversation, Jett turned to Brazil, a nation where he has “a unique and important connection” and even speaks Portuguese. He framed Brazil’s current political climate as a battleground between Marxist‑leaning forces and proponents of freedom, suggesting that the fight for liberty is not confined to North America.

Jett’s remarks underscore a broader theme: the defense of free speech, religious liberty, and limited government is a global effort. By linking local concerns in Oklahoma and Texas to international struggles in Canada and Brazil, he argues that American voters have a stake in safeguarding these principles at every level of governance.

As the midterm elections approach, Jett’s message serves as a rallying cry for citizens who feel that their constitutional rights are under siege. He urges listeners to “vote Republican” and to stay vigilant, reminding them that the outcomes of these elections will determine whether President Trump’s agenda can continue to advance in Congress.
