Hundreds gather for Walk for Jesus through downtown Winnipeg ▶️

Hundreds of people marched through downtown Winnipeg on Saturday as part of the annual Walk for Jesus.

The group stretched several blocks long as participants made their way from the Manitoba Legislature east along Broadway, then south on Donald Street across the Midtown Bridge. From there, the walk continued west on River Avenue before heading north on Osborne Street and back to the Legislature.

Verse of the day: April 20

1 Corinthians 15:55-57

"'Where, O death, is your victory?
    Where, O death, is your sting?'

The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."

Purpose

Jeremiah 1:4-10

Monotony and mediocrity mesh like teeth in gears. One spawns the other, leaving us yawning, bored, and adrift. In referring to monotony, I do not have in mind a lack of activity as much as a lack of purpose. We can be busy yet bored, involved yet indifferent. Life becomes tediously repetitious, dull, humdrum, pedestrian. In a word, blah. 

Poilievre promises to end ban on single-use plastic straws, Liberals to release full platform Saturday

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre promised to strike down a key element of the Liberal government's environmental policy Friday as he and other party leaders got back on the campaign trail following the national leaders' debates in Montreal.

Both Poilievre and NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh stayed in Quebec to make announcements Friday morning, while Liberal Leader Mark Carney made his way to Niagara Falls, Ont.

Verse of the day: April 19

1 Corinthians 15:20-22

But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ, all will be made alive.

Dreams

2 Samuel 7:1-3

There is an important dimension to hanging tough that you dare not miss. It is the thing that keeps you going. I call it a dream. I don't mean those things we experience at night while we're asleep. No, by dream, I mean a God-given idea, plan, agenda, or goal that leads to God-honouring results.

Supreme Court of Canada clarifies treatment of student loan debt under bankruptcy law

The Supreme Court of Canada says a person must wait seven years after completely finishing their post-secondary studies before they can be released from student loan debt under the federal bankruptcy law.

The top court's decision came Thursday in the case of Izabela Piekut, who received government student loans in the course of three university programs from 1987 to 2003.

Piekut later returned to school and earned a master's degree in 2009 without the help of additional student loans.
