CHRISTIAN FAITH IN THE CFL
Prior to watching this video, I thought Athletes in Action only ministered at the postsecondary level, not the professional.
So great to hear this chaplain asks for God's daily guidance in his work for the Lord.
Also wonderful to hear the guys are taking the initiative and self-feeding, as he puts it.
Sounds like Christianity is growing in the Canadian Football League, just as it is in a lot of other areas. May this continue and expand in the upcoming CFL season, in Jesus name, amen.

THE VENTURES - WIPEOUT LIVE IN JAPAN 1966
I really like this version. I especially appreciate the fact that, where the drums are the driving instrument in the studio version, the guitar, and a different kind at that, is the driving force here.

HOW THE FRANCOPHONIE BRINGS US TOGETHER: A DIALOGUE ON CULTURAL DIPLOMACY
Toronto, Ontario, March 20, 2026 — On this International Day of La Francophonie, celebrated worldwide under the theme “Peace Generation,” the Honourable Edith Dumont underscores the relevance and momentum sparked by the roundtable “Bridges Across the Francophonie,” held on March 17 in her Suite at Queen’s Park.
Moderated by journalist Heather Hiscox, the event convened leaders from diplomatic, media, cultural, and academic circles to reflect on how the French language fosters dialogue, builds bridges, and strengthens cultural diplomacy.
Throughout the discussions, a powerful message emerged: young people must be given genuine opportunities to meet, exchange ideas, and create together. Supporting Francophone and Francophile youth, in all their diversity, is an investment in a generation committed to the future, to solidarity, and to living together in harmony. It is also a way of bringing cultural diplomacy to life by fostering openness to others and cultivating lasting bonds.
In this context, the conversation also highlighted Africa’s significant demographic role within the global Francophonie, and that cultural diplomacy, carried forward through artistic, sporting, and institutional exchanges, fosters mutual appreciation, a deep sense of belonging, and international cooperation.
“What I felt at the end of those two hours was joy, the joy of being together and speaking about a Francophonie that is clearly very much alive,” said the Honourable Edith Dumont, Lieutenant Governor of Ontario. “Being together in Toronto, an extraordinarily diverse city, reminds us that we are, in fact, connected to the entire world. I am Francophone in Ontario. I am Franco-Canadian. And I am also a Francophone of the world.”
The roundtable brought together His Excellency Appolinaire Aya, Ambassador of the Republic of the Congo to Canada; Xavier Brassard Bédard, President and Chief Executive Officer of TFO; Marie Christine Morin, Executive Director of the Fédération culturelle canadienne-française; and Dr. Jonathan Paquette, International Francophonie Research Chair on Cultural Heritage Policies chairholder at the University of Ottawa.
The full recording of the conversation is now available for those who wish to continue the reflection sparked by this event: audio recording (available in French only).
Photos from the event are also available for publication.

WHAT DO I WANT IN A GIRL?
One who handles her kid's accidents
like an Inuit
sipping a milkshake
in a snowstorm.
One who sets the kids up
with a wholesome activity
so she can take some time
to play with her toys.
One who, if she works in a caring profession,
Or anything that involves caring at all
Can cry with and over
The people for whom she has to do so.
One who constantly puts herself last,
And by doing so
always gets what she wants.
All these things I cogitate
while hoping I can reciprocate.
