The waning days of the federal election campaign saw voters turn out in record numbers for advance polls and party leaders attempt to poke holes in each others' platforms.

Elections Canada said in a news release Tuesday that the four days of advance polling between Friday and Monday set a new record for turnout, with 7.3 million people casting ballots early.

That's up 25 per cent from the 5.8 million people who took part in advance voting in the 2021 federal election.

The sequel to Mel Gibson's 2004 film, The Passion of the Christ, is set to begin filming in August, and Jim Caviezel has been going to C.S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters to prepare to reprise the role of Jesus. 

The Resurrection of Christ is scheduled to be released in 2026, more than 20 years after the original. 

Romans 14:11

"It is written:

'As surely as I live,' says the Lord,
'every knee will bow before me;
    every tongue will acknowledge God.'"

A West End home suffered significant damage following a fire Monday evening. 

The blaze broke out just before 9 p.m. in a house in the 700 block of Valour Road.

Flames and smoke were shooting out of the home when crews arrived.

Firefighters were able to get the blaze under control within half an hour.

Everyone was able to get out of the home safely before crews arrived.

Preliminary observations suggest the fire was accidental and related to cooking.

A young basketball star from Uganda who came to Canada to pursue his dreams both on and off the court has died. 

Michael Makumbi, 22, attended the University of Manitoba as an international student. He was also part of the Legacy Preparatory Basketball Academy and Segue, a faith-based student club at the UM.

The young athlete died suddenly during the Easter weekend, which friends and family are attributing to a blood clot. 

Emmy award-winning comedian Nate Bargatze is using his comedy as a service to God. 

Although he does not want to be labelled as a faith-based comedian, Bargatze says that he is trying to create shows that are safe for the entire family.
