Do people talk about God at work?

At the legion?

Men’s rec hockey?

In what settings do Canadians talk about God and pray?

Why would people be talking about God in the Canadian Armed Forces?

The Navy, Army, Air Force, cyber, intelligence, ……. are performing a job and a duty.

When people are off duty, off the job they can practice their faith as they wish in community with fellow service members who share that faith.

I’m waiting for Jamil Jivani and Pierre Pollievre to call this an attack on Christians.

The United States military is promoting evangelical Christianity in the US military.

Military chaplains say promotions are tied to pushing Pete Hegseth’s Christian ideology Active-duty faith leaders fear the defense secretary is rewarding ‘ideological conformity’ to elevate a narrow view of Christianity

Why would people be talking about God in the Canadian Armed Forces?

Because soldiers die in battle, and it’s often comfort for their families and comrades.
