Worship artist Chris Tomlin has revived ancient words, transforming 1,800-year-old hymnal texts into a powerful new song.

The lyric and musical notations, found in Egypt, have become known as "The First Hymn." Archaeologists found this artifact in 1918, calling it "P.Oxy 1786." It contained 35 words offering praise to God. 

The Federal Court of Appeal has dismissed a challenge of a government ban on firearms that Ottawa considers fit only for the battlefield, not hunting or sport shooting. 

The Liberals outlawed some 1,500 firearm models and variants in May 2020, meaning they could no longer be legally used, sold or imported. 

The move was generally applauded by gun control advocates as a first step toward removing firearms used in mass shootings from circulation. 

Liberal Leader Mark Carney's French language skills will be put to the test, and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre will seek to turn his numbers around, when the five main federal party leaders square off in Montreal tonight in the first of two debates ahead of election day on April 28.

The two-hour French-language debate will be moderated by Radio-Canada's Patrice Roy and will focus on five themes: the cost of living, energy and climate, the trade war, identity and sovereignty, and immigration and foreign affairs.

Sports fans show their support by cheering on their favourite team and for one Winnipegger, he takes his support to a whole new level. 

Dan Nolin has been an avid Winnipeg Jets fan for several years. Not only does he enjoy watching the game, but also brings joy to Winnipeggers during the playoffs in his 1971 Chevy Vega wagon. 

"I just started with a Jet sticker, logos on the side and it was spring playoff, so it's like, 'Oh, let's take the hot rod out.' And I had a Winnipeg Jet plate, so I put it on the car and the rest his history."

From the moment that Ryan Anzo stepped on stage for a Christmas recital in elementary school, he was hooked on music and is now using his talent to bring glory to God. 

"I did everything I could do from music theatre to choir and then from that I started to branch into doing solo stuff and even joining a boy band," Anzo said.

"And then from there, when I got saved, I just wanted to make music for God and now I think God has opened the doors for me and I've been growing in my relationship with Him. It's been a blessing, honestly."

Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew has discussed increased trade with representatives from Europe and appears open to having a second port on Hudson Bay.

A Christian author and dad to 10 children is offering funny and heartwarming insights to raising children in his newest book. 

"This is my brand new book called Yes Dear, I'm Watching Them," says author Jason Weening. "It's a joke for many dads who've probably said that exact phrase, as the kids are hammering nails into their fingers, or falling out of trees, or building bike ramps over the garage." 

Weening lives in Estevan, SK, with his wife and their 10 children between the ages of one and 19. 

Canadians got a break on inflation in March as gas prices fell and a slowdown in travel to the United States helped cool airfare costs, Statistics Canada said Tuesday.

The annual rate of inflation slowed to 2.3 per cent last month, down from 2.6 per cent in February. A poll provided by LSEG Data & Analytics ahead of Tuesday’s release had expected yearly inflation to hold steady month-to-month.

StatCan said gas prices fell 1.6 per cent year-over-year in March, coming off a hike of 5.1 per cent in February.
