Unlike regular charcoal briquettes, our Quebracho Blanco Lump Charcoal is made from 100% natural hardwood.

Heroes and our first Line of Defense in Canada the CBSA Made a Banner Crush to the Drug Trade coming into Canada at Emerson Manitoba.
Border agents, RCMP, seize $6 million in cocaine at Emerson, Man. border crossing!!!!!
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and Manitoba RCMP say they’ve made a significant seizure of a substance believed to be cocaine at the Emerson, Man., port of entry.
On July 14, an examination of a commercial truck at the border crossing led to the seizure of more than 63 kilograms of suspected cocaine, police said, making it the largest CBSA narcotics seizure at a Manitoba port of entry in the past five years.
Note from Dave!
If you see suspicious activity, persons asking you for a ride across the border in your vehicle, a loose lipped driver talking about smuggling loads of weapons or drugs, do us all a big favour and contact authorities. Try to get as much information as possible without becoming involved and shut these bad guys down. They are bad for our business.
The contraband, which was discovered with the help of detector dogs, has an approximate street value of $6 million.
Any disruption to the flow of drugs into this country has farreaching effects and has a significant impact on the safety of our communities. The CBSA & RCMP remains committed to enforcing laws against illicit drugs to their full extent.”
If you have information about suspicious cross-border activity, please contact the CBSA Border Watch Toll free Line at 1-888-502-9060.

I January of 2022 a lawsuit was filed by the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) on behalf of the Honourable Brian Peckford, the last surviving signatory of our Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and others, with a goal of striking down the vaccine mandates for travel.
In October of 2022 the federal courts struck this case based on mootness, stating that the use of judicial resources for a five-day hearing, when the travel mandate had now been lifted, outweighed the public interest in having the case heard on the merits
This completely ignored the threat of mandates being reinstated at the government’s discretion, and disregarded the significant public interest in knowing that our Charter is being upheld by our courts.
Even the chief medical officer expressed that travel mandates were unlikely to be effective, noting that the WHO also advised against them Obviously, the Trudeau government was not following science but a political agenda, seeking to make an example of all who opposed. They ignored Charter rights and failed to provide proof that mandates had a positive effect on transmission (because the evidence did not exist).
The JCCF have filed an appeal to the dismissal of their case and are currently waiting for a date to have their appeal heard
The appeal highlights the judge’s error in failing to use the threepart legal test they are to apply when considering exercising discretion toward hearing a case:
The existence of a truly adversarial context.
The presence of particular circumstances which justify the expenditure of limited judicial resources to resolve moot cases.
Respect shown by the courts to limit themselves to their proper adjudicative role as opposed to making freestanding, legislative type pronouncements
On behalf of all Canadians, we applaud their tenacity and hope the courts will finally acknowledge the Charter and further acknowledge that the processes in place to supersede these rights have never been demonstrated in the eyes of the law.
We have seen some support for our Charter in recent cases, hopefully this is a sign of the return of our free Canada.

The Women In Trucking Association (WIT) has announced Liana Castro as its July 2023 Member of the Month. Castro is a driver trainer at LGT Transport, a leading transportation company in the cryogenic industry.
Driven by the freedom, flexibility, sense of adventure, and opportunity to travel, a career in trucking was the perfect fit for Castro. She began pulling reefers, followed by going local to deliver food service. She then transitioned to linehaul and pulled doubles and triples. Later, when Castro was interested in hauling fuel, the company she applied to needed cryo drivers That was the moment she was introduced to the cryogenic industry
"I found it absolutely fascinating and was glad I got into that division instead,” said Castro. “It opened more doors for me and ultimately led me to LGT Transport.”
With 14 years of experience in truck driving, Castro has established herself as a skilled, reliable, and dependable driver She is meticulous about her equipment, follows the cus-

tomer's requirements, and consistently goes above and beyond. Proving to be an invaluable member of the LGT team for the past six years, she was promoted to driver trainer in February of 2023. As the first female to hold this position at the company, she is paving the way for other women to follow in her footsteps
Today, Castro trains drivers to transport cryogenic materials such as CO2, liquid oxygen, nitrogen, and argon. Her role is crucial, as she ensures that new drivers learn to follow all safety protocols. She enjoys sharing her knowledge and experience to help others thrive in the industry.
With perseverance, determination and passion, Castro demonstrates that anyone can succeed in pursuing their dreams “Don't be intimidated or put off by the industry just because it's male-populated,” she said. “Trucking is a great opportunity for anyone willing to put in the effort. Keep at it.”
Women In Trucking Association, Inc. is a nonprofit association established to encourage the employment of women in the trucking industry, promote their accomplishments and minimize obstacles faced by women working in the trucking industry.
Membership is not limited to women, as 17 percent of its members are men who support the mission.

Rescue dogs and lost pets who need a ride home have a Awesome Group of allies in Canada, TRUCKERS.
A group based in Thunder Bay, Ont., will help coordinate rides for animals who are heading from one part of the country to another.
Furry Hobos and Hiway Heroes is the creation of Margaret Foster. A former truck driver, she took it upon herself to help coordinate rides for those with four legs.
"It actually gives them something they feel good about. I mean, you go up and down the road here, you see the accidents and everything else that happens," said Foster
She said nearly 300 dogs have been transported through the group to their new homes, anywhere in Canada. She said some trucks in the United States are also now part of her 'network', allowing
for international movement of the animals in need.
Foster said drivers are not compensated, but she asks for a donation of home baking, or a gift card for coffee
Help from the community
Foster said many of the drivers have their own animals in their trucks, that they refer to as 'An Ambassador.'
As for continuing to help ferry rescue animals, or those who are lost and found to their proper homes, Foster said most drivers can't get enough of it
"[One driver], he gets a hold of me all the time and says, 'Margaret, I'm getting tired of laughing at my own jokes, you'd better give me a dog.'"

The Nzymes Treats and Sprouted Granules are our most popular items, and for good reason. Every body needs Enzymes, and that especially applies to pets. Because of heat and processing, so much of what is available for them as food is completely void of enzymes. This enzyme-empty scenario leads to deficiencies that often show up in the joints, skin, coat, digestion, energy levels, neurological function and general health. It is truly amazing to see how the addition of a simple supplement can make such a difference in these areas.

This the Story from 16 year old Turi who delivered this in a speech bravly at Camp Hope for hundreds to hear. We need to help give the youth a voice!
Before the Ottawa convoy, we had a convoy at the Manitoba/US border I went with my mom She said we were making history I wasn’t fully awake at the time But I took notice of how many people there cared I say I wasn’t fully awake but that doesn’t mean I didn’t know everything that one who is awake, does.
The corruptions, injustices, failures in humanity, and the treatment of the people by the ones in power. I knew the systems were failing around me.
But I had no desire to change it I’d accepted it for what it was It’s not like I was gonna be the next president and change it even if I wanted to? And I figured no one else would either, so this group of people rallying for a change, they were right, but making a mockery of themselves in my eyes. I figured I’d stay on the sidelines and watch.
My mom and brother went to Ottawa. Us back at home, got videos and pictures everyday. My brother had me in tears a few times because what I doubted, and told them was pointless, was something so much bigger than I could have ever imagined.
The love they were receiving, was something I found myself longing to be apart of. I was mad at myself for not going. For not being a bigger person and standing up for what I knew was right. The respect I gained for my mom, and for every person in those months, is something I never thought I’d have for anyone And, I experienced such guilt for standing on the sides For not believing everything my mom had told me.
For doubting, cause it was all true and there was thousands upon thousands of people standing up for ME, and all of humanity.
And then Trudeau invoked the emergencies act, and proved to me even more how corrupt the system is. If I had ever before felt that my mom and everyone fighting for my freedom was embarrassing, Ottawa showed me that would never be true The number of people there blew my mind
I know am not alone in this feeling
There are so many of us youth out there who know the truth now, because there are those hero’s everywhere
I’d found a hope that allowed me to really open my eyes. But I didn’t wanna make a change or use my voice back then. Now, that’s all I want to do! I want to hear others stories too. And going back to saying I felt like I had no power and there was nothing I could do about it? I wrote my 2023 Unity Convoy speech about people like that It was getting past that in myself, that brought me to where I am And anyone who thinks like that, is allowing the bad in our world to continue. Finding our voice is all we need. We may not be in the billions but we can try and hope we will be heard. One by one. I am sure there are many youth who stood on the sidelines just as I did. Watched their moms and dads go to Ottawa Ottawa gave me my voice, I wasn’t even there Now, my passion is to help the others find theirs too! TJ

The scope and magnitude of the COVID-19 response were / remain unprecedented.
The impacts were national and the responses of the governments affected the vast majority of Canadians.
Canadians have many legitimate questions concerning how the response was managed and what scientific and policy advice governments’ relied upon – questions to which the governmental response thus far has been non-existent or unsatisfactory.
Calls for the governments themselves to commission an inquiry have gone unheeded.
The governments cannot be expected to objectively and impartially conduct the required investigation of themselves –hence the need for a National Citizens Inquiry.
It is necessary to solicit, receive, and evaluate first hand personal testimony from those impacted by governments’ response to COVID-19. It is important that this testimony be given sincerely, and free of coercion or censorship.

It is necessary to ascertain where governmental responses to COVID-19 were effective, ineffective or counterproductive, and where alternative methods could have yielded better or more appropriate results.
It is necessary to establish accountability for the impacts of measures taken and to ascertain the social and economic costs of those measures.
It is necessary to ensure that our governments manage any future declared public emergencies, and their exercise of related emergency orders or powers, in a transparent, responsive, democratic, and effective manner.

Halie made history as the first woman to win races in the iconic NASCAR K&N Pro Series West.
Start your engines for a beast of an episode! 21-year-old stock car racing driver Hailie Deegan from Temecula, California, joins Episode 6 of Season 3 of the sports and pop culture podcast UNLEASHED with The Dingo and Danny.
Recorded at Studio M inside Monster Energy headquarters in Corona, California, the episode gets personal with the young racing prodigy who already made history as the first woman to win races in the iconic NASCAR K&N Pro Series West.
“It’s different. It’s very, very different. There are things that I’m starting to see now where I get treated differently as a girl. Even with crew guys, I feel like sometimes it’s hard to get them to believe in me And that has been a big struggle,” said Deegan about her experience as a woman in motorsports.
Recognized as one of the most talented women in motorsports, Deegan started racing motorized karts at the age of eight.
Following in the footsteps of her father, decorated off road racer and freestyle motocross rider Brian Deegan, she began competing in the off-road pro lite category at age 16.
Trading dirt racing for asphalt courses, she started racing in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West in 2018. Right off the bat, she made history as the first female driver to win races in the West Series in the 2018 and 2019 seasons
A true ambassador for women’s racing, Deegan has received the award for Most Popular Driver in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series back-to-back in 2021 and 2022. Learn what the future holds for the racing prodigy in the exclusive interview – only on UNLEASHED!
I N T H I S E D I T I O N W E I N T R O D U C E I N T H I S E D I T I O N W E I N T R O D U C E Y O U Y O U T O H A L I E D E E G A N T O H A L I E D E E G A N I f y o u d o n ’ t k n o w w h o H a l i e i s , y o u w i l l I f y o u d o n ’ t k n o w w h o H a l i e i s , y o u w i l l
Deegan was born with a need for speed that runs in the family. Her father, Brian Deegan, is a multiple off-road racing champion and one of the most winning freestyle motocross riders on the circuit. Even today, Hailie Deegan is constantly reminded of her father ’s legend status: “So many stories. The racing world is so small so every time I meet people, they’ll remember something about my dad, and I’m like, ‘Okay, that’s a new story!’”
The apple did not fall far from the tree. At age 7, young Hailie was racing mini dirt bikes and received a Trophy Kart when she was 8. “There are a lot of memories that I have, like my first race My first offroad truck I remember I had this little pink quad and it was tiny. And it was powder-coated in pink with my name on the front that my parents got me for Christmas.”
Her enthusiasm for motorsports is supplemented by a keen racing IQ and competitive drive. Deegan won her first kart race at age 8 in 2009 and has kept the wins coming since: In 2013, she took the victory in the Junior 2 Karts, making her the first female driver to win a LOORRS championship. Stepping up to the next higher class, Deegan became the Modified Kart National Champion in 2016 and was named Lucas Oil Off Road Driver of the Year
For a major career pivot, Deegan made the switch from racing on dirt tracks to stock car races
on asphalt courses in 2016 as a NASCAR Drive for Diversity member “Other than go-karting, I didn’t have much experience in any sort of pavement racing. So it was just new!” Deegan soon got the hang of the new race format: In 2018, she stepped up to the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West series and broke new ground as the first woman to win a race in the division when she clinched the win at the NAPA Auto Parts Idaho 208 at Meridian Speedway in Idaho.
At the same time, she became more aware of her position as a woman in a male-dominated sport: “I never looked at myself differently. I thought I was just a girl that raced, whatever. That was a big change for me going into the stock car world ”
In 2020, Deegan was named the ARCA Menards Series Rookie of the Year, finishing in third place in point rankings after earning four Top Five and 17 Top Ten finishes that season. Continuing her evolution, Deegan started racing massive trucks in the 2021 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. After a strong performance, she ended her rookie year by clinching the 2021 Truck Series Most Popular Driver award, which she repeated in 2022.
What’s next for Hailie Deegan? Heading into the 2023 season, Deegan has found the support and confidence to maintain her momentum in the pro leagues. “This year I feel that I have people supporting me who believe in me.”
