Canada has spent a generation trading self-reliance for convenience — in the pantry, the workshop, the town hall, and, too often, the pulpit. DOMINION: North of Dependence asks a plain question and refuses to look away from the answer: can Canada stand alone? Subtitled From the Table to the Town Hall, this is a practical guide to rebuilding sovereignty at every level — from what’s in your cupboard to what’s said, or left unsaid, in the halls where decisions are made.

This is not a book of complaint. It is a book of building — food security, local trade, civic engagement, and the quiet, deliberate work of a people learning to depend on one another again before they are forced to. Chapter by chapter, it moves from the household outward, treating self-reliance as a discipline rather than a slogan.

The book’s third section, “The Church’s Voice Before the Seventh Seal,” steps beyond policy and pantry lists into Scripture itself — asking what a nation named from a psalm owes to the God who named it, and what the Church is called to say in the space between the sixth seal and the seventh.

Psalm 72:8 (ESV)
“May he have dominion from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.”
