Proverbs 16:9

God offers instruction, but then it's our move. We must accept His instruction and apply it to our lives. Then, and only then, can we expect to cash in on the benefits of His instruction. So you see, application is the essential link between instruction and change.

Between Friday April 11, 2025 and Wednesday April 23, 2025, Grande Prairie RCMP received multiple reports of thefts from Canada Post community mailboxes where unknown suspects were believed to have broken into the mailboxes, stealing the mail inside. The thefts occurred in multiple neighborhoods during this time period.

County of GP fire crews are sounding the alarm after drivers were caught running over live fire hoses.

They say it’s not just illegal—it’s dangerous and can delay critical firefighting efforts.

Damaged hoses put both firefighters and the public at serious risk.

Fines start at $500, so stay clear and follow all emergency directions.

The Liberals have won their fourth mandate this time under the leadership of leader Mark Carney.

When Mark Carney formed government as Canada's 24th Prime Minister on March 14, 2025, he selected 34-year-old Kody Blois from the Kings-Hants riding in Nova Scotia as the Federal Minister for Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and Rural Economic Development.

Blois is heading back to Parliament after winning his riding last night. Expectations are that Carney could keep him in that role, but that will be determined when he announces his new cabinet in the days ahead.

On Wednesday, April 16, 2025, Grande Prairie RCMP Drug Section with assistance of Grande Prairie RCMP Police Dog Services executed multiple search warrants at residence in the area of Pinnacle and Lakeland.

As a result the following items were seized by police:

Conservative incumbent Todd Doherty was re-elected in the Cariboo—Prince George riding with a 60.3% of the vote. 

Doherty has represented this British Columbia district since 2015 and is known for his advocacy on mental health issues, including sponsoring legislation to support first responders dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder. While detailed riding-level results are still being finalized, Doherty's victory contributes to the Conservative Party's overall performance in the election.

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." 

Brandon Lake has released a new single off his forthcoming album, King of Hearts.
