I made a post on a social media, which was my opinion, that Israel and friends need to liberate Gazians from Hamas just as the Allies and Russia liberated Germans from Nazis. I still believe that. I do not expect everyone else to. If you befriend a Gasian so they will trust you, most would say the same thing. They are aware that Hamas has paid informants who try to abstract that from Gazians and then remove their remaining family from being alive. They may never trust you enough; they all have heard stories, fictional or not, of such. Back to the topic, many long-term friends blocked me over that. I suspect most of them were left-leaning, but I could be wrong. Has anyone else had that kind of experience? Stan

The province of Ontario took in more immigrants than Florida and California combined in 2024. Not sure of last year. We have a lot of Somalis in Canada; there has been some violence between the various tribes, but for the most part, they have settled in well and have become taxpayers.

No, I'm a racist😇

I have been encouraging people to read the bible from cover to cover for years. I don't know many who have done that.

On a cold night in Alberta on Feb. 8, the RCMP stated that they responded to a report of a charter bus that had hit the median and rolled over at approximately 10:27 pm on Feb. 7 on Highway 43, one kilometre west of Debolt. The vehicle was a charter bus carrying the Grande Prairie Adventist Church Pathfinder Club home from a Pathfinder Bible Experience program in Edmonton. Of the 37 occupants, Pathfinder leader Lillian Banda was pronounced dead at the scene. Of the remaining occupants, six sustained serious injuries and were taken to a local hospital, where they were treated. All the other travellers made it safely home. Alberta Conference president pastor Jeff Potts said the conference will send a team of pastors trained in counselling to Grande Prairie Adventist Church to provide support. Pastor Dan Wilson of Grand Prairie Adventist Church held a special prayer service on Feb. 8 at 6 pm, which included pathfinders conference wide. Youth Director Roberson Dorelus is also supporting the youth. “Please keep the Grande Prairie Church in your prayers,” Potts said. “Pray for [pastor] Dan Wilson as he ministers to his church family.” Written by Pastor Shawn Ellis, editor of Canadian Adventist Messenger, with contributions from Troy McQueen, communications director for the Alberta Conference, and Erika Rolling, reporter for Everything Grand Prairie! https://adventistmessenger.ca/news/alberta-pathfinder-club-caught-in-tragic-collision
