Manitoba Liberal MP Ben Carr, making a key announcement Friday that will help grow Canada's pulse industry.

Carr on behalf of Federal Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay announced a federal investment of $11,017,979 million to support the new Pulse Cluster under the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership funding.

Disregarded policies and a failure of management led to the development of the inordinately costly and much-maligned ArriveCan app, an investigation by Canada's auditor general has found. 

The federal government launched the app in April 2020 as a way to track health and contact information for people entering Canada during the COVID-19 pandemic, and to digitize customs and immigration declarations.

The auditor found the government's reliance on sole-sourced external contractors drove up the price of the app, and those costs weren't properly tracked.

People around the world are sending prayers and condolences after a shooting at a megachurch in the USA on Sunday.

In between services at Houston's Lakewood Church, pastored by Joel Osteen, a woman armed with a rifle opened fire. Two off-duty police officers who were working as security returned fire, and killed the suspect. A child and an adult male were also injured.

Zach Williams is opening up about his rock and roll past, as well as how he met God while listening to a Christian song, in his new book Rescue Story. 

Before Willaims was singing about the gospel he was living life to party. The singer was in high school when he started dabbling in drugs. Shortly after he joined a rock band and started touring. 

Genesis 42:21–24

Speaking among themselves, they said, “Clearly we are being punished because of what we did to Joseph long ago. We saw his anguish when he pleaded for his life, but we wouldn’t listen. That’s why we’re in this trouble.”

“Didn’t I tell you not to sin against the boy?” Reuben asked. “But you wouldn’t listen. And now we have to answer for his blood!”

1 Corinthians 13: 6-7

"Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."
