什么时候见过加拿大官员演讲结束后，说过God bless Canada?
Grok
No, Canada was not explicitly founded as a Christian nation in the same way some countries claim a specific religious establishment, but Christianity played a very significant historical and cultural role in its founding and early development.
In short: Christianity profoundly shaped Canada’s cultural, social, and institutional foundations—especially through European colonization, Confederation compromises, and early public life—but Canada was not constitutionally founded as a “Christian nation” with an established church or religious tests for governance. Its governing principles today emphasize the rule of law, multiculturalism, and religious neutrality.

呵呵，现在的官员反神反传统，不说是因为法律禁止。但过去可没少说God Bless Canada，毕竟加拿大的文化，历史都是建立在基督文明上的，如果看历史，基督立国是绕不开的。

过去也没有听到过
无论是否说，这句话是对的：
Canada was not constitutionally founded as a “Christian nation”

呵呵，这是掩耳盗铃了。加拿大是事实上的建立在基督教的国家，不是回教，也是和尚喇嘛教，更不是巫术上的国家，不用特意加上这句，Canada was not constitutionally founded as a “Christian nation”，加上就显得画蛇添足了。

自以为比总理智慧，多学习，不懂多查查翻翻，不要自以为是地冒傻气。
国家的宪法是严格准确的，没有丝毫含糊的余地，no is no.

最后编辑:
在加拿大历史上，官员在演讲结束时说 "God bless Canada"（上帝保佑加拿大）的情况确实存在.
斯蒂芬·哈珀 (Stephen Harper) -- 最著名的使用者
前总理斯蒂芬·哈珀（2006-2015年在任）是这一短语最忠实的拥趸。哈珀几乎在每次重大演讲结束时都会说：“God bless Canada”（有时还会加上 “God bless our troops”）。其他官员的使用
- 布赖恩·马尔罗尼 (Brian Mulroney)：前总理马尔罗尼在一些场合（尤其是涉及国际关系或葬礼等庄重场合）也会使用类似的表达。
- 安大略省省长道格·福特 (Doug Ford)：在新冠疫情期间及之后的许多演讲中，他经常以 “God bless the people of Ontario” 作为结尾。
法律上的矛盾：有趣的是，虽然很多人反对在政治演讲中加入宗教，但加拿大 1982 年的宪法序言中确实写着：“加拿大建立在承认上帝主权（Supremacy of God）和法治的原则之上。”
ChatGPT:
- Does the phrase “the supremacy of God” appear in Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms?
Yes — the phrase “the supremacy of God” appears in the preamble of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (1982).
The exact wording is:
Important Context
- The phrase appears only in the preamble, not in the enforceable rights sections.
- Canadian courts rarely rely on it to interpret Charter rights.
- It does not make Canada a theocratic state.
- Section 2(a) of the Charter explicitly protects freedom of conscience and religion, which includes:
- Freedom to practice religion
- Freedom to have no religion
Canada remains a secular constitutional democracy, but the historical reference to God was included as part of political compromise during patriation of the Constitution in 1982.
How it compares to the U.S. Constitution?
Here’s a clear comparison between Canada and the United States on this issue:
Canada
The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (1982) begins with:Key points:
- The phrase appears only in the preamble.
- It is not legally enforceable.
- Courts almost never rely on it in decisions.
- Section 2(a) protects freedom of conscience and religion, including the right to have no religion.
- Canada has no established state religion.
United States
The United States Constitution contains no reference to God.Instead, the First Amendment to the United States Constitution explicitly states:
This creates:
- The Establishment Clause (no state religion)
- The Free Exercise Clause (religious freedom)
Practical Comparison
| Feature | Canada | United States |
|---|---|---|
| Mentions God in Constitution? | Yes (preamble only) | No |
| Explicit ban on establishing religion? | Not explicit, but implied through rights jurisprudence | Yes (Establishment Clause) |
| Freedom of religion protected? | Yes (Section 2(a)) | Yes (First Amendment) |
| State religion? | No | No |
Irony
Interestingly:- Canada mentions God but operates very secularly in practice.
- The U.S. does not mention God in its Constitution but has stronger public religious language in politics (e.g., “In God We Trust,” presidential oaths, etc.).
