An annual event that brings over 1,000 young adults to Calvary Temple in Winnipeg is back this week. 

Collide Conference is back for year three. Brittany Petkau and Rhythm Knowler, who serve as two of the three directors of the event, along with the full team are excited to see what God is going to do this year. 

The Chosen team has decided that moving forward, they will no longer share release dates unless they are locked in.

Dallas Jenkins made the announcement via a live stream on YouTube on Monday.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre will not have a seat in the next Parliament, after a stunning upset by Liberal candidate Bruce Fanjoy in the riding of Carleton. 

Poilievre's loss raises a host of questions about his ability to continue with the Conservative party leadership, and the role he will play as the House of Commons reconvenes. 

In his concession speech on election night, Poilievre pledged that Conservatives will "do our constitutional duty of holding government to account and proposing better alternatives."
