Roughly 30 million Amazonians living in Brazil have been hearing the gospel in a new way this year. Previously predominantly a Catholic area, evangelical Christianity is spreading.

A battle is heating up between Pierre Poilievre and Jagmeet Singh ahead of the return of the House of Commons next week, as the Conservatives challenge the NDP to help them bring down the government.
