Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has confirmed he will ask the other opposition parties to bring down the Liberal government next week with a non-confidence motion.

A Conservative spokesperson said the motion will simply say the House has no confidence in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his government.

What are the obstacles for gospel ministry to the Deaf?

Rob Myers with DOOR International shares three misconceptions or challenges that make Deaf-led churches rare today.

"Some of it has to do with the lens that we use to view the Deaf community. Many times when we talk about Deaf ministry, people put on the viewpoint of special needs ministry," Myers says.

Instead, Deaf communities should be viewed as minority languages, people groups with their own distinct cultures.

Bill Gaither is remembering The Nelons in a special memorial video released a couple of months after the death of three of their members. 

"I've done a number of these tributes, most of them are to some of our older Gospel artists who have lived a great life. But this one was so different because they were so young," said Bill in the tribute video. "I think they were just simply coming into their own, and it's sad for all of us, and it's hard for us to express how we feel. Four young lives taken way too soon."

Right now, we are in the early part of Autumn, and the days are getting shorter. The road traffic is heavier due to the combination of students and teachers returning to school, and people returning to work from their summer vacations. All of this can make for a perfect storm that can make the commute to work trying to say the least. 

For those choosing to get to work on their bikes, the trip to work means that utmost concentration and safe riding habits are key to arriving at work or home safely.
