Coming soon to a workplace or academic institution near you. It has long been said that when America sneezes Canada catches a cold, and concomitantly with the intertwining of their economies forming the world’s largest bilateral trading partners when the US economy coughed the Canadian economy choked. President Trump is to all appearance’s hell bent on carrying out his oft repeated promise to make America Great Again.

“Today teaches tomorrow a lesson” – African ProverbCanada has always been touted as a forward thinking land of freedom; a multicultural society where all citizens are free from racial discrimination. Historically, while Canada did not have (Jim Crow) laws like in the United States, segregation did exist in the true North strong and free. Southwestern Ontario became home to Canada’s largest historic Black population, due to waves of Black settlement in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

Everyone and their mother, or rather, anyone with a say in the political arena is calling on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to resign. In a democratic society, elected leaders derive their right to govern from the will of the people, as expressed through free and fair elections.

A New Year is here and it’s so important to recognize that if you don’t want your new year to be the same as your last year, you will have to decide to make different choices and then take the necessary action steps to do something different, so that change can occur. It’s not about making another set of New Year’s resolution on New Year’s Eve; it’s about making better choices 365 days a year. Don’t kid yourself, be honest and wherever you might find yourself today is your starting point.

Yet, among all the goals we set, there is one that holds the power to shape our entire year profoundly: increasing our prayer life. The Bible, particularly the Gospel of Luke, reminds us of the transformative power of prayer and its central role in our walk with God.

In the final year of my three-year teacher-training programme, we were all sent out to different schools in rural Jamaica to doour Practice Teaching before graduation. There were six of us in my group. It was not by accident that the six of us who also shared the same dormitory, were sent to the same school. We were all good friends. Part of our assignment was to conduct the whole service at one of the local churches. So, it was for us to decide who would do the different duties.
