Alberta Health Services (AHS) is once again spreading holiday cheer with its Toys for Tickets campaign. This initiative gives people who’ve recently received an AHS parking ticket the opportunity to donate a new, unwrapped toy instead of paying their fine.

“Last year, we collected more than 870 toys provincewide, nearly doubling the donations from the previous year,” says Nick Ternovatsky, Director of Parking, AHS. “We are thrilled to continue this tradition, which brings joy to children and families while making the holidays brighter for so many.”

The 16th annual Northern Spirit Light Show hosted by the Peace Draft Horse club has returned to light up the night at Evergreen Park.

Chris Pratt and his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger welcomed a new member to their family.

On Nov. 8, 2024, the pair introduced their son, Ford Fitzgerald Schwarzenegger Pratt, to the world. 

A recent post on for KING & COUNTRY's Facebook page has hit record views according to the band.

Since sharing 14-year-old Jaukeem Forston's performance of  "God Only Knows" on The Voice on Facebook, the video has reached over 53 million views. 

"Jaukeem! Mate, you did an amazing job with God Only Knows!" said the band in a post on Facebook. "We are truly honoured, and we are cheering you on in the journey." 

If no political party is willing to say uncle, the drawn-out stalemate in the House of Commons is heading for an unprecedented situation that could amount to a tacit lack of confidence in the government, without anyone in Parliament casting a vote. 

The Conservatives and Bloc Québécois have already announced plans to try to bring down the government and trigger an election with a non-confidence motion at the next opportunity. But there's no telling when that opportunity will come, because the House has been gridlocked in a filibuster for more than a month.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the federal government could have acted faster on reining in immigration programs, after blaming "bad actors" for gaming the system.

Trudeau released a nearly seven-minute video on YouTube Sunday talking about the recent reduction in permanent residents being admitted to Canada and changes to the temporary foreign worker program. 

Over the next two years, the permanent residency stream is being reduced by about 20 per cent to 365,000 in 2027.

AgSafe Alberta has added another level to its FARMERS CARE program.

Level 4 is now available at AgSafeAB.ca. 

This free program provides valuable safety information that agricultural producers can navigate at their own pace.

All levels of FARMERS CARE cover a wealth of valuable information in a condensed format, avoiding the major time commitment that typically comes with intensive safety courses.

1 Kings 19

A severe case of ingrown eyeballs strikes all of us every once in a while. In both dramatic and subtle ways, the stubborn enemy of our souls whispers sweet little nothings in our ears. He reminds us of how unappreciated and ill-treated we are...how important yet overlooked...how gifted yet ignored...how capable yet unrecognized . . . how bright yet eclipsed . . . how valuable yet unrewarded.
