High-tech times lead to high-stress tension. The never-ending drive for more, mixed with the popular tendency to increase production and intensify involvement, leaves most folks in the workplace not only exhausted but dissatisfied.

Instead of Saturday being a change-of-pace day, it has become an opportunity to squeeze in a second job. And Sundays? A time for renewal and refreshment? You're smiling. No, it's the day most type-A high achievers start another to-do list in preparation for the new week.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told his MPs Wednesday that he would reflect on what they had to say in a three-hour caucus meeting where some Liberals confronted him about his leadership.

Trudeau was smiling when he left the meeting on Wednesday afternoon, and as he walked briskly past a horde of reporters on Parliament Hill he said only that the Liberal party is "strong and united."

The 116 Avenue upgrades for 2024 have been completed, enhancing safety, efficiency and longevity as part of the City of Grande Prairie’s ongoing commitment to improving vital infrastructure.

This year’s construction on 116 Avenue was part of a multi-phase project aimed at addressing aging infrastructure and enhancing traffic flow.

A spill clean-up is underway on Highway 2, about 20 kilometers north of Sexsmith.

Expect lane closures and alternating one-lane traffic as crews work in the area. Speed limits have been reduced to 50 km/h, and flag persons are on-site to direct traffic.

Please be prepared for delays and possible congestion. Work is expected to continue until 7:00 p.m. tonight.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has resisted calls for his resignation for more than a year now but in recent weeks those calls have grown louder and in some cases more public.

The Liberal caucus meets Wednesday and Trudeau is expected to be confronted by a group of MPs who have banded together to try and finally convince him to go.

Here’s what you need to know ahead of this meeting. 

It's been almost a year since former Victoria's Secret model, Nicole Weider, was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. 

Weider, who gave up her modelling career to follow Jesus, received the devastating news on Nov. 19, 2023.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will face down his own caucus members in a hotly anticipated meeting this morning, as several of them plan to try to convince him to step aside.

Rumours have circulated for weeks about an undisclosed number of Liberal MPs who have signed on to the effort to oust the prime minister in the hopes of improving the party's chances in the next election. 

That promises to make the regular weekly caucus meeting on Parliament Hill extra tense, as Trudeau has showed no signs of stepping down from the top job.

Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.

Matthew 6

Jesus opened a five-gallon can of worms the day He preached His Sermon on the Mount. There wasn't a Pharisee within gunshot range who wouldn't have given his last denarius to have seen Him strung up by sundown. They hated Him because He refused to let them get away with their phoney religious drool!

Ottawa marked the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attack on Parliament Hill Tuesday, but for the family of the reservist who was killed that day the memory is still raw.

"I can't believe it's been 10 years. It felt like it was yesterday," said Ephraim Cirillo after a private family ceremony held at the National War Memorial Tuesday morning.
