HIS JOURNEY FROM SIKH TO CHRISTIAN

This is a captivating and heartening testimony. It's interesting how non-devout his family were and how unwelcoming the Sikh temples were, too. His relational experiences with Jesus are quite worth hearing about.

RADIO-RELATED STUFF: MOSTLY THINGS I LIKE

Like that Volkswagen Volksfest commercial with all the effects.


Kudos to Bell for having a commercial featuring a boy changing his baby brother's diaper.


Glad "Take it Outside" with Carson Arthur has returned for another season on CJBQ. 

ANITA AND ME

Yet another case of the film being better than the book. In the novel, the whole thing of Mena getting seriously injured on the horse is just ridiculous, plus the kid she met in the hospital served no real purpose. Also, in the picture the characters grow in change whereas none of that really takes place in the book. 

90 BILLION DOLLAR LIBERAL LAND GRAB: WHY LOCALS ARE FIGHTING TO STOP THE ALTO HIGH-SPEED RAIL NIGHTMARE

Good to see so many care and are willing to stand up concerning this issue of which, I must admit, I was not really aware until a few days ago. 

THE TRUTH ABOUT DIGITAL IDS THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW

This video is about something which is both coming sooner than we think and possesses a lot worse implications than what those behind it will let on to the public. 

GOD ALWAYS HEARS OUR PRAYERS

For Christians, God always hears our prayers. It's just that, sometimes, His response is "No" or "not yet." Even when our requests are answered in one of these two ways, we can be assured that the Lord still only intends good for His people and that He is growing us, perfecting and sanctifying us while utilizing whatever He allows us to go through in this life. 

CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF THE FRANCO-ONTARIAN FLAG

The Celebrating 50 years, Shaping the future together! initiative is generating remarkable engagement


 

Toronto (Ontario), March 6, 2026—With more than 140 artistic and community projects from across Ontario, the Celebrating 50 years, Shaping the future together! initiative has generated remarkable engagement among Ontario’s Francophone community.

Of these proposals, 72 applications were officially submitted and evaluated by an independent jury from the Ontario Arts Council. At the end of this rigorous process, 17 projects were selected that reflect both the Francophone community in Ontario today and the one taking shape for tomorrow.

“The 50th anniversary of the Franco-Ontarian flag deserved a celebration commensurate with its importance,” said the Honourable Edith Dumont, Lieutenant Governor of Ontario. “The community’s response to this call for projects is a fine demonstration of that. I look forward to seeing these creations come to life in the coming months.” 

“The Franco-Ontarian flag is a symbol of pride and resilience for Francophones across Ontario,” said the Honourable Caroline Mulroney, Minister of Francophone Affairs. “As we celebrate the flag’s 50th anniversary, the work created through this initiative will reflect the vitality of Ontario’s Francophonie for years to come.”

“Since the 1970s, the Ontario Arts Council has been proud to support the richness and uniqueness of Franco-Ontarian creativity, and we are delighted to be associated with this important initiative and celebration,’ said Michael Murray, CEO of the Ontario Arts Council. ’The projects funded by this program offer an exceptional opportunity to connect the past, present, and future of Francophone arts in Ontario.”

Sustain enthusiasm since the initiative’s launch

Launched in September 2025 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Franco-Ontarian flag, Celebrating 50 years, Shaping the future together! is a provincial artistic and community co-creation initiative led by the Office of the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario in partnership with the Alliance culturelle de l’Ontario, and supported by the Government of Ontario, the Ontario Arts Council and TFO.

The journey continues!

The liaison team will now assist project leaders in bringing their visions to life and shaping this collective work.

Although the period for projects seeking financial support has now ended, the initiative remains open to artists, organizations, and communities who can still join the process, either by collaborating on an existing project or by proposing their own contribution.
