Baptize California has done it for a second year in a row, hosting an event in which thousands were baptized at Huntington Beach.

Just under a year ago, Baptize California hosted a praise and worship church service on the beach as a record-breaking 12,000 people were baptized. This year 7,752 people were baptized in the ocean and other baptismal tanks over the course of 10 hours. 

Senior federal officials have been looking quietly for ways to bring together Canadians who don't see eye to eye on the economy, immigration and social issues.

Prime Minister Mark Carney is expected to brief Canada's premiers today following his seemingly successful first meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday.

Carney and Trump spent about two hours together at the White House, including about half an hour in front of the cameras in the Oval Office, and a private luncheon.

Both leaders were accompanied by senior members of their cabinets and their chiefs of staff.

A 34-year-old man from Winnipeg is dead following a collision Sunday morning near Stonewall.

The crash happened around 10 a.m. on Highway 67, just east of Highway 7 in the Rural Municipality of Rockwood.

Stonewall RCMP say a semi was travelling west on Highway 67 when an SUV in the eastbound lanes crossed the dividing line and collided head-on with the semi truck. 

The driver of the SUV, a 34-year-old man from Winnipeg, was transported to hospital, where he died of his injuries.

Psalm 1:1-6

The essential question isn't difficult to state: How can I, a person who has absorbed so many years of mediocre thinking, change? How can I, like a caterpillar, move from squirming in the dirt to enjoying the sweet nectar in God's creation? As in the caterpillar's case, a radical metamorphosis must occur. It is a process that will be difficult, demanding, and lengthy—but, oh, how sweet the results! If you are really serious about conquering mediocrity (which, remember, starts in the mind), then I have three words to offer—memorize, personalize, and analyze.

Manitoba's new Opposition leader says his party wants changes and clarity on a bill by the NDP government that would add gender expression to the province's human rights code.

The bill, now making its way through the legislature, would include protections for people to be called by their preferred pronouns.

Progressive Conservative Leader Obby Khan said Tuesday he has heard concerns by some members of the public who fear people could face a complaint for addressing someone by the wrong gender.

The Conservative caucus has tapped former leader Andrew Scheer to lead the party in the House of Commons when Parliament resumes on May 26 — a role that's needed because Pierre Poilievre lost his seat in last week's election.

"I'll be taking over the parliamentary leadership duties of the caucus until Mr. Poilievre rejoins us in the House," Scheer told reporters after emerging from an all-day caucus meeting on Parliament Hill Tuesday.

Prime Minister Mark Carney and U.S. President Donald Trump met Tuesday in Washington for their first face-to-face discussion of U.S.-Canada relations and Trump's ongoing trade war.

Here are some highlights from the meeting, which Carney described as both "wide-ranging" and "constructive."

Carney says Canadians will 'never' put a price tag on sovereignty
