“For unto you is born this day a Savior”
Luke 2:11, Bible verse
To all of our loyal readers,
We’d like to wish every supporter, member, and reader of The Canadian Loyalist a merry Christmas. Not "happy holidays," not "season's greetings" — but Merry Christmas. We now live in an age where speaking these words plainly has become an insult, but we say them proudly and without apology as Canadians have said for generations before this very moment today.
This Christmas season reminds us why we do what we do. We write about conservative topics to restore Canada. We are doing it for the young Canadians, like us, in high school, university, or college, who are searching. Searching for economic prosperity and opportunity. For a future worth inheriting. For the chance to own a home, start a family, and build a life in the country their parents, grandparents, and ancestors built. We write this newsletter to help create that chance.
Our vision is to unite like-minded Canadians from coast to coast, eventually hosting in-person events, rallies, and gatherings in communities nationwide. This is our first steps. Yet, this holiday is more than just a date on the calendar; it is a cornerstone of our Western Judeo-Christian civilization that has inspired moments of profound clarity and triumph. From the battlefields of Europe to the reaches of space itself, Christmas has often served as the backdrop for the very best of the human spirit. As we look to restore the Canada we know and love, we draw inspiration from these historic moments where tradition, courage, and discovery met to change the world forever:
Christmas Throughout History: Moments of Unity and Achievement
The Christmas Truce of 1914: Between December 24—25, approximately ~100,000 British and German troops ceased fire along the Western Front. Soldiers sang carols across the trenches, exchanged gifts, buried their fallen comrades, and even played football in no man's land—a powerful reminder that shared humanity can transcend even the horrors of war.2
Apollo 8's Christmas Eve Broadcast (1968): On Christmas Eve, Apollo 8 became the first human-crewed spacecraft to orbit the Moon. As millions watched on live television, the astronauts read from the Book of Genesis while transmitting the iconic "Earthrise" photograph — showing our fragile blue planet rising over the lunar horizon, uniting humanity in wonder.
Discovery of Thyroxine (1915): On Christmas Day, biochemist Edward Kendall successfully isolated the thyroid hormone thyroxine for the first time in history. This breakthrough would revolutionize the treatment of thyroid disease and save countless lives in the decades to come.1
This Christmas, may you find strength in your convictions, vigor in your faith, aspiration in times of uncertainty, and firmness in your beliefs. If there is one time throughout history which has consistently seen peace prosper, and where people have managed to set aside their differences and unite, it is Christmas. This season has witnessed miracles both great and small — of hope and endurance, immaculate feats of bravery and the indominable human spirit.
This Christmas, we — at The Canadian Loyalist — hope you have a jubilant Christmas season, and we hope you find joy in your traditions, and courage for the year ahead. Thank you for standing with us. Together, we will ensure that the next generation inherits a Canada worth fighting for.
In Honour of Those Who Serve
We dedicate this Christmas message to all actively serving and veteran members of the Canadian Armed Forces, who put their lives on the line to protect our freedoms and way of life. We honour the fallen — those members of our Armed Forces who made the ultimate sacrifice in conflicts across the globe, paying with their lives so that we might live in peace and liberty. Their courage, their service, and their sacrifice will never be forgotten. To them, and to their families, we owe a debt that can never be fully repaid.
Merry Christmas, and may God bless Canada.
