As storm season rolls across the Prairies, weather watchers might hear meteorologists talk about a “cap” — and no, it’s not the kind you wear on your head.

Capping, also known as a “capping inversion,” is a layer of warm air higher up in the atmosphere that acts like a lid, preventing thunderstorms from forming, at least for a while.

Think of capping like a lid on a pot of boiling water. The atmosphere underneath is trying to bubble up, but that warm layer above holds it down. Storms that are capped will have a soft, flat top to it.

The Canadian Nurses Association says it hopes the new "united Team Canada" approach at the Council of the Federation will lead to harmonization of nurses' licences across the country.

The association was among a number of health-care advocacy groups at the recent annual meeting of Canada's premiers.

While health care tends to take centre stage when the premiers meet, this year's gathering with Prime Minister Mark Carney was dominated by discussion of U.S. President Donald Trump's global trade war.

Most Canadians believe the country is making good progress on reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples, a new poll from Leger suggests.

"The extent to which people feel progress on reconciliation is being made or not has an important bearing on how they feel about the country," said Jack Jedwab, president and CEO of the Association for Canadian Studies, which commissioned the poll.

The survey of 1,580 respondents was conducted between June 20 and 22. A margin of error cannot be associated to the survey because online polls are not considered to be truly random samples.

Hebrews 12:1

"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us."

Deuteronomy 6:7

We are to walk of spiritual things in our homes just as we would talk about anything else.

You talk together about how the Dodgers played last night. No big deal, you just talk about that. You talk about what you're going to do next week. You don't lecture on it. You don't make a big announcement, you simply talk about it...You may talk about what you plan to watch on television that evening.

You don't hold classes on it, you merely talk about it. There is an easygoing, natural flow of conversation...

Canadian cities have increasingly rejected U.S. Christian musician Sean Feucht in recent days, amid protests and permit cancellations tied to his controversial political and religious views. Now, a church has been fined for hosting him in concert.

The City of Montreal has fined a local church for hosting a concert by the U.S.-based Christian musician Sean Feucht.

Feucht's controversial views and his status as a rising star in the MAGA movement have led officials to cancel his concerts in several Canadian cities in recent days.

But on Friday evening, an evangelical church in Montreal allowed Feucht to perform a hastily scheduled concert over the objections of the city administration, and is now facing a $2,500 fine. 

There is a heat warning in effect for the city of Winnipeg and southern Manitoba.
