A family-owned restaurant in downtown Steinbach turned into a hub of love and generosity on Wednesday, as MJ’s Cafe sold out of their special “Tasha Burger” fundraiser in support of 34-year-old Tasha Wiese, a local woman facing a life-changing medical journey after suddenly falling ill.

Derek Carr, the quarterback for the New Orleans Saints, recently shared his testimony at a Las Vegas Church, and how God is meeting their family during hard seasons of life. 

This past Sunday, Carr was asked to give the message at ChurchLV in Las Vegas, Nevada. 

To begin, Carr addressed rumours saying he did indeed have a shoulder injury and that he and the team are working through it. 

Then he shared what happened to his wife and their four kids while recently on vacation. To start, everyone got quite sick. 

1 John 5:14-15

"This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him."

Joshua 1:9

Someone once wrote, "Sow a thought, reap an act. Sow an act, reap a habit. Sow a habit, reap your character. Sow your character, reap your destiny."

Standing tall when tested takes courage—constant, relentless, never-give-up courage! You can be sure that the old flesh will fight for its arousal and satisfaction. All it takes is a little rationalization—just a little. Just look the other way. Just shrug it off. Don't sweat it. And before long you have a rattlesnake in your sleeping bag.

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says he’s a true Canadian but wouldn’t stop a public vote on separating from the country if it came forward.

Moe says residents are allowed to trigger provincial legislation for a plebiscite on the issue.

He says he does not judge people for having different opinions, but says he supports a united Canada.

Saskatchewan law allows the public to bring forward a petition for a plebiscite as long as 15 per cent of eligible voters sign on.

Opposition NDP Leader Carla Beck says Moe should rule out a vote on separation.

A 20-year-old man is facing charges after he allegedly set up a fake public fundraiser in support of a crash victim.

In October 2022, a 17-year-old boy was tragically killed in a car crash on St. Mary's Road. 

Days after his death, the 20-year-old created a campaign aimed at helping the grieving family with funeral costs through monetary donations, but had the funds routed to his own bank account. 

In just one week, over 240 people donated, with over $11,600 being deposited into the suspect's account. The family did not receive any of the funds.
