“They’re Enforcing Freedom From Religion” Canadian Military Bans Chaplain Prayers @TheNewsForum

Uploaded August 2026 | Updated September 2026, 10 hours ago

The Canadian Armed Forces told chaplains to stop leading prayer at public ceremonies and give "spiritual reflections" instead. On Counterpoint, Tanya Granic Allen and guest Brock Stephenson discuss the change. Stephenson says it enforces "freedom from religion" over freedom of religion, notes no one is forced to see a chaplain, and points to Canada's multi-faith military tradition.
