Man, it seems like CBC TV Ottawa's entire staff is leaving.
Interesting there are more French-Canadian teens who upload stuff to TikTok than Anglophones.
Picked up WRUR Rochester begging for money, WDCX Buffalo with preacher, and Bounce FM Brockville with news yesterday morning.
Five and a half years ago, on a typical Tuesday afternoon I made my way in to the inner city. Now for context, I do live in the inner city, however not in the deepest parts. I decided to go to the main library in my city, but first I needed some sustenance, so stopped at a restaurant in the same mall the library was in.
I was enjoying myself, just watching people and chatting with the server when someone walked in out of the blue saying, “I want eggs, fries, I’ve got a gun, and I want all the money in the register.”
What Did I do?
Most people would assume I would duck under the table, start calling my family while under the table, and telling them just how much I love them. No, I somehow remained calm, and just prayed, not only that reciting in my head the Scriptures I’d memorized.
When security was called, and the guy made himself scarce the server came over asking, “are you ok?” I responded, “yeah, just fine.”

This happened over four years ago, but I just heard about it today. Though I was never a huge fan of the robots in disguise, to say this is way cool is an understatement. This shows how much God has blessed the minds of man.
When people, and many folks have asked my dad how to describe where my hometown is, he often answers with either, “100 miles north of Toronto and half an inch from heaven.” Or “God’s country.”
I’ll admit, and so would my sister that when we were teenagers we thought our town to be “unsophisticated” “country” and “trashy.” Opting to put it in our rear views once old enough, but now that we’re older it holds a certain kind of charm for us. Why?
It’s Not Typical
Most Canadian towns are very driven by alcohol, but not my hometown. Yes, we do have bars, but they aren’t all it has to offer. You will fall in love with our cute little boutiques and artisan shops.
It Doesn’t Have Canadian Arrogance
When you pull in to the town I grew up in you’ll also notice folks act differently. For our American readers you might think with the warmth and friendliness of the locals that you are somewhere down south. We take care of our own around here. Example, when a neighbor of my mom’s was stricken with cancer, some of the ladies organized not only a quilting circle, but took meals to her.
Family Values
This is another area where we buck trends, according to statistics couples are more likely to live together for at least one year before marriage. Not in my hometown, that feeling of being in Bible Belt America continues, as many of us believe that this is living in sin. While attending, I don’t know if it’s like this now, but the local elementary school, I knew of very few kids whose parents had separated or divorced.
Staying Faithful
While church attendance in Canada as a whole declines sharply, again we have bucked the trend.
Gillie
This is a complicated question to answer, but I will try to answer it with some Biblical truth, and common sense.
Daniel Hewgill (1784-1874) was my 4th great-grandfather, and until 1832 he lived in Damby in the north of England. He was educated, hard working, and above all else God fearing. In 1832, he packed a steamer trunk, wife Alice, (1787-1849), and four children and headed across the ocean.
He carried with him one other essential forgotten in this day and age, the Bible. One fellow passenger said of Daniel he had never met such a devout and God fearing individual in his life. He went on to explain that Daniel was an active preacher, and did not partake in the riotous behavior of the other passengers. He passed on his values to my 3rd great-grandfather William (1821-1896), and 2nd great-grandfather Thomas (1852-1955.)
What has happened?
We have strayed so far from the narrow path because we crave total inclusion. It is still perfectly fine to discriminate against someone with a disability, however if you protest a homosexual establishment in your town you are pretty much tarred and feathered in the public square.
I often wonder, and have thought of it recently as Canada Day approaches, what would Daniel, William, and Thomas think of this dumpster fire of a country, or should I say non-country?
Gillie
God's creation is a mathematical equation perpetually. It is so complex that we humans can not comprehend its complexities. Only through God's grace can we even begin to understand the wisdom, logic and common sense of the knowledge of our perfect Creator. Our choices can keep its perfect direction or corrupt its perfect meaning.
In God's timing all evils will be exposed and His true purpose for us will be redeemed.
Jesus is the equation of corrections, directions and eternal life in His Father's kingdom. Amen.
Doug
Pride month; a celebration of death, a celebration of the end of humanity as we know it because of what it has become.
Remember the days of Noah, remember the days of Lot, remember Jesus' warning about the eternal death that we are blindly walking into that is Satan's following of be trans and be gay.
Pray in the name of Jesus for all the misdirected people who do not know what they have done. Amen.
Doug
A tree that has no leaves, it only has what it needs to sustain itself and is keeping its treasures to itself.
you need to become through Jesus a tree that bears the fruit that feeds life into others from the great tree that is His Father in Heaven.
Genisis 6 18
The time of the great
Harvest of souls is at hand,
The pruning of evil
From in the earth
And on its land
As God's people gain great power
Come together and stand
in freedom from deception through God's Spirit in you, the gift of Jesus Christ. 1 John
Amen.
Doug
Transitioning from an enslaved life under Satan/Nimrod.
God's people are in this world but not of it. We are not of the world's system but God's kingdom system where every evil lie is gone and God's people know how to keep them away. We will have all we need and not want for anything as our lives will no longer be vain and materialistic.
God's truth in Jesus Christ sets us free from evil ways and it becomes a mindset that evil does not want to enter.
Doug
In my opinion, the human woman is God's greatest creation on Earth. To have survived these many millennia in a world whose god (Satan) hates them. The persecution of mankind's woman has deceived them into the misdirections of this world that under Satan has become by removing God's truth and replaced with the lies of vanity, lust and a misdirected following into the reality of the days ahead that are at hand.
Deuteronomy 5 17-18 22 5
Children in their mother's wombs are God's people, too. Some women of this day think there right to choose has been removed by the falling of Row v. Wade. Women can still make all the bad choices they want. The only choice being attacked is the right to have an abortion because of the bad choices that they made that brought on the consequences of the new life within them.
Sex outside of marriage between the kinds of man is a sin that can no longer be erased by another sin. Thou shall not kill.

Friends, I wouldn't share this with you if this ideological madness wasn't chemically castrating and surgically mutilating our children at a record pace. The hour is late and many lives hang in the balance.
Tens of millions of children are being indoctrinated with the belief that the transgender movement is progress and medical mutilation of our bodies is just "gender-affirming care."
Across the internet, groups for "detransitioners," or individuals who were put on cross-sex hormones and/or had surgery but now regret it, are exploding in record numbers. There are thousands of stories like these now.
Enter this young man, who shared Monday how he feels shattered and broken after being wrecked by activists, therapists, and doctors:
Twitter Tweet frame
TullipR 🦎 ♂
@TullipR
I want to tell everyone what they took from us, what irreversible really means, and what that reality looks like for us.
No one told me any of what I’m going to tell you now.
Read the full conversation on Twitter
Twitter Tweet frame end
Because Twitter is censoring part of his thread (of course), I'm going to post the entirety of his statement here. I must warn you all, this is hard stuff to stomach and is obviously not appropriate for kids.
But lives hang in the balance – and if we don't talk about these things, more children are going to end up like this.
[One Last Content Warning]:
I have no sensation in my crotch region at all.
You could stab me with a knife and I wouldn't know. The entire area is numb, like it's shell shocked and unable to comprehend what happened, even 4 years on.
I tore a sutra 4 days post recovery, they promised to address it, i begged them in emails to fix it, they scorned me instead.
Years later, I have what looks like a chunk of missing flesh next to my neo-vagina, it literally looks like someone hacked at me.
They still wont fix it
No one told me that the base area of your penis is left, it can't be removed - meaning you're left with a literal stump inside that twitches.
When you take Testosterone and your libido returns, you wake up with morning wood, without the tree.
I wish this was a joke
And if you do take testosterone after being post op, you run the risk of internal hair in the neo-vagina. Imagine dealing with internal hair growth after everything?
What a choice... be healthy on Testosterone and a freak, or remain a sexless eunuch.
And thats something that will never come back and one of the reason why i got surgery.
My sex drive died about 6 months on HRT and at the time I was glad to be rid of it, but now 10 years later, Im realising what [I'm] missing out on and what I won't get back.
Because even if i had a sex drive, my neo vagina is so narrow and small, i wouldn't even be able to have sex if i wanted too.
And when I do use a small dilator, I have random pockets of sensation that only seem to pick up pain, rather than pleasure.
Any pleasure I do get comes from the Prostate that was moved forward and wrapped in glands from the penis, meaning anal sex isn't possible and can risk further damage.
Then theres the dreams. I dream often, that I have both sets of genitals, in the dream I'm distressed I have both, why both I think? I tell myself to wake up because I know it['s] just a dream.
And I awaken into a living nightmare.
In those moments of amnesia as I would wake, I would reach down to my crotch area expecting something that was there for 3 decades, and it's not.
My heart skips a beat, every single damn time.
Then theres the act of going to the toilet. It takes me about 10 minutes to empty my bladder, it's extremely slow, painful and because it dribbles no matter how much i relax, it will then just go all over that entire area, leaving me soake[d].
So after cleaning myself up, I will find moments later that my underwear is wet - no matter how much I wiped, it slowly drips out for the best part of an hour.
I never knew at 35 I ran the risk like smelling like p*** everywhere I went.
Now i get to the point where [I'm] detransitioned and the realisation that this is permanent is catching up with me.
During transition, I was obsessive and deeply unwell, I cannot believe they were allowed to do this to me, even after all the red flags.
I wasn't even asked if I wanted to freeze sperm or want kids. In my obsessive, deeply unwell state they just nodded along and didn't tell me the realities, what life would be like.
And finally, theres dilation, which is like some sort of demonic ceremony where you impale yourself for 20 agonising minutes to remind you of your own stupidity.
This isn't even the half of it. And this isn't regret either, this is grief and anger.
F*** everyone who let this happen.
When I lost 1600ml blood during surgery, it took days to get a blood transfusion.
The surgery lasted 3 hours longer.
They joked about the blood loss too.
TulipR is no less a man made in God's image than any other man. He was castrated and made a eunuch by the religious cult that rules our civilization – and he will sadly suffer for it for the rest of his life on earth – but that does not change his worth in God's eyes. Therefore, it should not change his worth in our eyes.
We always look to the horrors of the past and wish we could have stopped them. We wished we could have looked at the endless wars or the slave trade or the Nazi experiments or the gas chambers or the Tuskegee experiments and done something to change history.
Instead of looking to the past, we must realize we have that chance right now. Millions of children could be saved from this horror if we act.
We just have to be brave.

Montreal, Canada | June 22, 2022 - SPARK Microsystems, a Canadian fabless semiconductor company specializing in next-generation ultra-wideband (UWB), today announced the availability of its Software Development Kit 1.0 (SDK) for its SR1000 Series UWB transceivers. SPARK’s SDK can be used to simplify and accelerate development of high data rate, low power, and low latency UWB communication links for various applications. This software development kit uses SPARK’s Evaluation Kit (EVK) board as a reference hardware platform for code development and debugging.
The SPARK Software Development Kit includes a comprehensive set of APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) to facilitate development of various software applications without requiring direct access and control of the UWB transceiver. Combined with various example application code included in the SDK, this enables more efficient development of new products using SPARK UWB communication technology.
“Release of the SPARK SDK 1.0 represents another milestone in our effort to proliferate our products using the unique SPARK UWB technology and support fast time to market for a wide range of customer applications.” said Frederic Nabki, Co-Founder and CTO, SPARK Microsystems.
The SPARK SDK is a collection of software development tools and examples in one comprehensive package for use by developers to create UWB-based products and applications. The SDK provides multiple simple and concise application examples to educate developers on using SPARK core libraries, such as the SPARK Wireless Core and the SPARK Audio Core, which bring additional functionality and accelerate development time. It also provides a board support package (BSP) that will enable developers to try the application examples on an already supported and tested hardware platform. In addition, SPARK’s SDK offers an effortless way for developers to experiment with SPARK technology by customizing existing applications and then testing and debugging code on SPARK’s EVK boards.
In booth 326 at Sensors Converge 2022, SPARK Microsystems will highlight the many advantages that UWB delivers for sensor applications compared to legacy short-range wireless platforms like Bluetooth. The company will demonstrate its new Wireless Sensor Kits (WSKs) based on the SDK. This extreme low power and compact reference module – just 40mm X 40mm – houses multiple sensors (optical, gyroscope, motion sensors/accelerometers) and leverages a SPARK SR1020 UWB transceiver for point-to-point sensor applications. This kit comes with software examples and necessary information for customers to design sensor modules specific to their own applications.

Ian Punnett had a couple interesting shows this weekend.
George Noory sounded like he had a cold last night.
Picked up Radio 95.1 Rochester Sunday morning.
Odd Global Maritimes runs "The Young and the Restless" from 4:00-5:00 local time instead of starting it at the bottom of the hour.
That new Robin Hood show sounds like a must miss.
Contrary to popular contemporary belief, the earth is round and, what's more, Christians, as well as the majority of unbelievers throughout history, figured this out as this video shows.
Ben Shapiro certainly sounds like he drinks seven cups of coffee a day.
WHAS Louisville, why would you run a Dave Ramsey feature before the news and then another one immediately after?
Picked up 1690 WPTX from Mechanicsville, Maryland.
Good Indy 88.5 Toronto has NXNE Radio on its third HD channel. Nice to see at least one Canadian radio station doing something unique with this technology.
A spirit of bitterness pervades today's world and the hearts of so many people, both saved and unsaved. This thorough, well-articulated sermon lays out what bitterness is, the negative effects it has and how to get victory over the bitterness in one's heart.
Heavenly Father,
In Jesus name I pray
For the guidance of your Spirit
Through another day
As by Your shield and Your sword
I keep my attackers at basy.
Please God hear my voice
And just let me say
As I make my way through this world
Of the death, dumb, blind, and gay,
As I walk in your light
Seeking Your people gone astray
Jesus Christ is my Lord
My truth and my way
As You've called me to Your house
And prepared a place that I stay.
Doug
The other day I had a man fall on his face in front of me so I gave him food, something to drink and showed him the name of Jesus Christ.
We are falling for the evil that is the face of our leaders of this fallen on its face world.
The fear psychosis
That wants to bring us to full compliance
The lies about truth
And the Frankenstein science
That is fed to us daily
Through our pocket appliance
That leads us into the fog
Of our liars alliance.
Only the blood of our Lord
Trumps Satan's defiance.
Doug
The gay trans movement: what is it when it has no purpose in reality??
Why is it strong in North America but weak in most of the rest of the world?
It seems that its purpose in the North American virtual reality would be to block population growth as people that support this deception are also celebrating the evil behind woman empowerment and abortion.
Doug
What I have been hearing and seeing are difficult to comprehend in my mind and most people in this day will tell me that I am crazy. The one thing I know 100 percent is that God is in charge and working to remove the evil that has been slaving the earth at an accelerating rate for a very long time.
God is allowing this to happen in order to expose Satan's lies that attempt to separate us from God's truth about us. God's truth is difficult to see because the insanities of evil can be impossible to believe.
Doug
If mentally insane people did not have guns then sane people would not need guns.
When a woman kills her child in the womb what does she become: a woman who has never had a child or a mother who put her child to death in utero.
The more they try to idiot proof the world the more idiots they create.
If a person is unarmed this means they have no arms. Guns kill, knives kill, cars kill, but only when they're being held in someone's hands. Hands don't need weapons to kill.
I used to wonder if it was me who was insane in this world. I've since learned that it is this world that is insane and not me, thank God.
Doug
The unstoppable power of all that is, all that was and all that will be.
Reaping the fruit of the seed that you have sown: are the branches green, lush and full of bloom or have they been eaten by the locusts of despair and doom.
God is about to judge the way you have stewarded your dwelling and what is around you.
Jesus came into the world riding on God's mountain of truth. The test is what do we do with it.
Doug
Why are you and your tormenters here?
You've allowed their in-dwelling presence
To become abundantly clear.
They manifest through you
As they cackle and sneer
They're here to destroy you
With their deceptions and fear.
They have baited and lured you
Into their dens of despair
Where you will lie there and rot
And no one will care.
Only Jesus can help you
Become released from their snare
Only the Son of God's grace loves you enough
To redeem you from there.
Doug
WWJ Detroit was coming in really well for a little while there last night.
WWCR must be pretty desperate to allow someone to put Tony Alamo back on there.
Good on CJBQ for thanking the farmers.
David Ridgen and "Someone Knows Something" are really moving up in the world. Heard an advertisement for the podcast on an IHeart Radio station last night.
Though some of them may truly have a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, Catholics are not Christians and Roman Catholicism is not Christianity. This thorough article lays out over a couple dozen differences.
Though it contains a few things I disagree with, I can not help but link to something this good.
I pray in the name of Jesus Christ that the Catholics who read it would prayerfully consider what is being said, look at the verses he uses for themselves and come to Acts 2 38 salvation.
Based on notes to myself.
Catching up on Scriptures for America broadcasts.
My mom and aunt went on vacation together.
Was attending Bible study at the local Pentecostal church and loving it.
Threw away my plastic corningware dishes.
Tried to get a friendship going with the new local Seventh-day Adventist pastor but it just never ended up happening.
Would go to the library, take out books, scan them into my computer, put them on a USB stick, and listen to them on my Daisy player.
Had wanted to audit and volunteer with various programs at the local community college to gain some practical skills but that never worked out.
Got a new cane through my ONM instructor. The next time I bought a cane I ordered it over the phone.
Was reading "Alias Grace."
We got a lot of rain one weekend: so much that my basement was flooded. I felt blessed, though, because my basement is only a crawlspace. The plummer told me people lost brand new rec rooms and he had to break basement windows to get the sump pump into the house in a few cases.
My dryer was having problems. I ended up needing to call in an electrician to get the wire replaced.
On this show, Richie and Tom talk about 5G, as well as many other topics. The video is interspersed with clips that provide both proof and illustration.
Based on notes to myself.
Up too late yet again; surfing the internet on a Sunday night.
Made friends with the guy who was staying in my neighbour's house for the summer.
Tried to get back doing things on Wattpad but lost interest.
Listening to the many cassettes my friend gave me when he moved.
Participated in a Zoom call over the phone about the changes CELA was making to its website.
Attended the memorial service for a friend and prominent local businessman who died suddenly.
Once the weather got warm I couldn't wait to get out to my backyard again to read and enjoy the wildlife and my neighbours.
Looks like switching from K-Lite to 102.9 The Bounce proved to be a good thing.
Kind of cool John Laroquette is coming back to TV this fall.
I don't know if making Celebrity Jeopardy its own series is a good thing.
Based on notes to myself.
A dear friend of mine had moved to Kingston a few months earlier.
Witnessed to a YouTuber. Hope it had a significant, positive impact.
Started applying for jobs at new businesses in town
Had begun my relationship with TBL.
Was volunteering at the weekly luncheon one of the churches in town put on.
Would sure like to start receiving braille UK music magazine "Upbeat" again through CELA.
Have you ever wondered how many libraries are there in the biggest cities in the world?
Picodi.com analysts prepared a new report in which we found out which capitals and major cities around the world and in Canada have the most public libraries and where the access to them is the easiest.
– The easiest access to public libraries is in Belize’s capital—Belmopan. There are 0.74 libraries per 10,000 residents there
– In Toronto 10 thousand Torontonians have less than one library, 0.33 to be exact
– The most favorable ratio of the number of libraries to the number of residents is in Vancouver – a little less than a half of a library per 10 thousand residents (0.41 each)
The full list of data is available at this link: https://www.picodi.com/ca/
AH: I had recently heard about which cities in the United States had the most and least active library circulation, and this item is interesting to me as well.
