Humility of mind is really an attitude, isn't it?

It's a pre-set mentality that determines ahead of time thoughts like this: I care about those around me.

Why do I always have to be first?

I'm going to help someone else win for a change.

Today I'm going to curb my fierce competitive tendencies.

Instead of always thinking about receiving, we'll start looking for ways to give. Instead of holding grudges against those who offend us, we'll be anxious to forgive.

Multi-Grammy winner Lauren Daigle has released a new single.

Her latest track, "Let It Be a Hallelujah," is one that she wrote in the past, but never made it to the airwaves.

"Years ago, in the writing cycle between ‘How Can It Be’ and ‘Look Up Child’, I remember this gem, "Let It Be a Hallelujah," landing in the land of Dropbox and never making its way to my record," said Daigle in a post on social media.

Originally from Winnipeg, Jonathon Fenton is attempting to swim 26 km across Lake Winnipeg this weekend in support of CancerCare. 

Fenton was first diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma in 1999 while living in Japan. 

"I decided to move back to Winnipeg and got treatment there at the Health Science Centre," says Fenton. "I got surgery and did six months of chemo. Then everything was great for 20 years, not even a flare-up or anything."

Unionized workers at Canada Post are entering their final day to vote on the Crown corporation's latest contract offer.

Voting is set to wrap up today at 5 p.m., with results expected to be shared shortly after.

The offer includes wage hikes of about 13 per cent over four years but also adds part-time workers that Canada Post has said are necessary to keep the postal service afloat.

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers has urged the roughly 55,000 postal service workers it represents to reject the proposal.

Canada was hit with 35 per cent tariffs on Friday after U.S. President Donald Trump followed through on his threat to increase the duties if Ottawa didn't make a trade deal.

The White House has said the tariffs would not affect goods compliant with the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement on trade, commonly known as CUSMA.

Prime Minister Mark Carney had tempered expectations of an agreement by Friday, saying Ottawa will only agree to a deal "if there's one on the table that is in the best interests of Canadians."

Two Winnipeg sisters are turning lemonade into hope for people affected by cancer.

For the past two years, Erika and Carly Wedlake have hosted a lemonade stand at Sandy Hook RV park to raise funds for CancerCare Manitoba. 

"It started when we had a family member named Jack, and he died from cancer, and we wanted to do something," said Erika. "So we started a little lemonade stand and went through CancerCare Manitoba, got stuff and did that for the past few years."
