Donald Trump swings tariffs like Thor swings a hammer. He’s already smacked Canadian imports with a 35% tariff, and I’m egging him on to tack on another 10% tithe, for a holy top-up.Across Canada, governments keep cancelling Christian acts such as US Christian worship leader Sean Feucht. Left wing loons on their soap boxes can’t stomach his anti-abortion, anti-LGBTQ+, or refusal to bow down to the gender identity nonsense.Funny, eh? Muslim clerics like Britain’s Imam Abu Taymiyyah tour coast to coast without a peep from the “Communist Broadcasting Network,” better known as CBC. Prime Minister Mark Carney even insists Muslim values are Canadian values..OLDCORN: From aprons to extremism? Traditional values are not ‘extremist’.Enter the tithe. Genesis orders believers to fork over one tenth of every gain. Yep, 10% of the paycheque, no wiggle room.“And of all that you give me I will give a full tenth to you,” Genesis 28:22.Trump, never shy about sprinkling Scripture into a stump speech, could dress up a 10% surcharge on Canadian stuff as a spiritual tariff. .The goal is to jolt Canada into remembering the Christian roots that helped build the country.A 10% tithe lands three quick punches.First, smack anti-Christian bias right in Canadian exports, replaying the steel and dairy slugfest of 2018.Second, fill a kitty to bankroll American Christian missionaries and worship concerts from Vancouver to St. John’s, so singers like Feucht can belt hymns and worship music without red tape..OLDCORN: Looney Tunes Rachel Gilmore rails against Conservative MPs defending Christian artist Sean Feucht.Third, shout to the globe that faith can be a trade issue, not just a personal issue.Canada is Uncle Sam’s No. 2 trading buddy. An additional 10% tariff would jack up the tab on softwood and maple syrup..But sticker shock is the whole point.Canucks who yawn when a worship night gets cancelled will snap to attention when the price of a new pickup truck jumps. The squeeze might force politicians to guard Christian speech with the same fire they show for other religions and for the LGBTQ cause now ruling the cultural landscape.Sure, my plan may overrate US muscle, yet it exposes a bigger beef.The Charter shields religion, yet arenas and parks get jumpy when Christians sing praise and worship songs in public. But, it’s perfectly acceptable to dance around naked in front of young children at Pride parades..Saskatoon approves permit for US Christian artist Sean Feucht’s concert, mayor ‘deeply concerned’.In a pluralistic country like Canada, the referees must call the game fair for every team.There is a simple fix.Canadian cities could unlock the gates for every faith, whether the soundtrack is a hymn or the adhan.
