Our Mission
The mission of ARPA Canada is to educate, equip, and encourage Reformed Christians to political action and to bring a biblical perspective to our civil authorities. ARPA Canada exists because we care. We care about our nation, our communities, our families, and our freedoms. Most of all, we care about what God says is good and right. Jesus Christ told us that the greatest commandment is to “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind” and to “Love your neighbour as yourself.” How do we show love? By living our lives in devotion to Him.

Editing begins on our Ending Suffering: the Palliative Alternative compilation video. Over 11,000 words from 10 interviewees to rearrange, a narration to re-write, and an opening and closing to craft. Our prayer: this resource can be an encouraging one for Christians and others to not give up on those who need our help, but to offer truly compassionate help in the face of legalized assisted suicide.

Monika Devereaux-TschuorThat is sad. Being a mom is the best job in the world, the toughest but also the best. Parents have the most important job, raising the future generation, they're our future ! Those that choose not to have offspring will one day be cared for by people whose parents chose to selflessly contribute to the future of society.

17 hours agoRon KnorrIf True normal Canadian families would have had lots of babies we wouldn't be having the problem we have right now in our government! Go forth and multiply real Canadians for Real Change!! Or else this country will not be the Canada as we now it!
14 hours agoEmily DeboerIt's not really that surprising to me. Its the way a lot of movies, etc portray children and our society (and govt) is influenced by that.
12 hours agoAda DeansIf for no other reasoning; Who do they expect will help pay the taxes in years to come if there are no more children born? Immigrants?
