| 0:00.0 | It's Friday, |
| 0:05.0 | Friday, February 11, 2022. |
| 0:07.8 | I'm Albert Moller and this is the briefing, |
| 0:10.0 | a daily analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview. |
| 0:13.6 | We're going to look today at the trucker protests in Canada. |
| 0:16.6 | They started in Ottawa, the nation's capital, and the big fact is, this kind of thing really doesn't |
| 0:21.5 | happen in Canada. The fact that it is happening in |
| 0:23.8 | Canada is big news on both sides of America's northern border. Now let's just |
| 0:29.2 | step back for a moment and say that the United States should be incredibly thankful for the fact |
| 0:34.0 | that we share so much of North America and this continent and landmass with the |

| 1:11.5 | between the nation now known as Canada and the nation now known as the United States |
| 1:15.8 | means two different experiences on so many different issues. |
| 1:19.0 | The most important difference is that the United States broke from Great Britain in a revolution, something |
| 1:23.7 | Canada profoundly has not done. In one sense this leads to a difference in the |
| 1:28.6 | character of the two countries. America prizes a sense of revolution as a part of our national creed and identity. |
| 1:36.5 | We were birthed in a liberation in a revolution for freedom. |
| 1:41.0 | But as you're looking at Canada, you are looking at a contrary narrative. |
