The Manitoba chapter of Motorcycle Ride for Dad is celebrating its 17th annual ride to raise money and awareness for prostate cancer. 

"Our first ride was in 2009, and I think we had about 487 riders," says spokesman Ed Johner with Motorcycle Ride for Dad. "The ride has since then grown to as many as 1,500. Last year, we raised $650,000 in the fight against prostate cancer."

The money raised each year during the ride stays in Manitoba to help those fighting prostate cancer. 

The Christian TV show 100 Huntley Street invites Canadian Christians to join them in their 'Strong & Free: United in Prayer Campaign.' 

"Going back to January, we were sitting around in one of our content meetings," says Lara Watson, the Executive Producer and a host on 100 Huntley Street. "What we felt was what all Canadians were feeling. This tension in the air. That we don't know what's going to happen politically, economically, and socially."

As separatist discontent bubbles up anew in Alberta, experts say a vote to sever ties with Canada would pitch the country into unexplored territory on everything from money to First Nations and national parks.

“You’re in terra incognita. You’re off the map when we get to that stage of the proceedings,” said law professor Eric Adams.

“A lot of things are going to be broken on the way out the door.”

After the Second World War came to a close, Canada pulled itself away from Great Britain and planted itself firmly within a North American political and economic compact that generated prosperity for much of the western world for decades.

But as the world marks 80 years since the end of the war in Europe, an increasingly unstable geopolitical climate — and an administration in Washington bent on fighting a trade war with much of the world — has Canada looking back to the continent as a way to preserve peace and prosperity.

Colossians 4:5-6

"Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone."
