Here’s the actual, verifiable situation in Canada right now**—no speculation, just what’s been publicly documented. --- # 🇨🇦 Canada: Digital currency (CBDC) ### Current status * The Bank of Canada has **NOT launched a digital dollar * It has only done research and testing * As of recent updates, the project is actually being scaled back, not accelerated ([Bank of Canada][1]) 👉 Key point: * A digital Canadian dollar does not exist today * There is no launch date announced --- ### What they *have* done * Ran public consultations in 2023 to ask Canadians what they think ([Bank of Canada][2]) * Studied: * privacy issues * how it would work technically * risks to the financial system ([Bank of Canada][1]) 👉 Important detail: Any actual launch would require approval from Parliament, not just the central bank ([Bank of Canada][3]) --- ### Official stance (simplified) * “We’re preparing in case it’s needed” * “There’s no decision to create one” Some sources even note it’s been put “on the back burner” for now ([NerdWallet][4]) --- # 🪪 Canada: Digital ID Canada does NOT have a mandatory national digital ID system What exists instead: * Separate provincial programs (like BC Services Card, Ontario Digital ID plans) * Federal-level ideas are still evolving and debated * Adoption is gradual and optional, not forced 👉 There is: * No nationwide rollout * No requirement tying it to money or banking --- # ⏳ So is there a 2030 timeline? No—there is no official 2030 deadline in Canada for: * Digital currency * Digital ID * Or combining the two What actually exists: * Ongoing research * Policy discussions * Slow, cautious experimentation --- # 🧠 What’s really happening (in plain terms) Instead of a single plan, you’re seeing: 1. “Wait and see” approach Canada is watching: * What other countries do * How technology evolves * Public reaction 2. Contingency planning They want to be ready if: * Cash use drops a lot * Private digital money (crypto, big tech payments) takes over 3. Political limits Even if a digital dollar were proposed: * It would be debated publicly * Laws would need to pass * It could be delayed or rejected --- # ⚖️ Bottom line * There is no confirmed timeline (2030 or otherwise) * Canada is not close to rolling this out * In fact, progress has been slower and more cautious than many people expect --- If you want, I can also show you what other countries (like China or the EU) are actually doing—those comparisons help put things into perspective and clear up a lot of the “global plan” confusion.

It's time for the Top 25 for 2025! This is the moment when we look at what the most popular articles were from last year, and get a glimpse into who is viewing them. Apparently bread-making was at the very top of the list! People wanting to learn about my services got a good number of hits as well, which I find very encouraging. Both my cookie articles made it into the top 25! Who says going wild means giving up fun things like sweets? (we won't mention the brain needs sugar, just not at junkfood levels). I was happy to see how many devotional commentaries made it into the top 25 articles. As your Biblical Natural Health Coach, my premise does come solidly from Scripture as the final authority on what I share and do. I stopped keeping up with the latest in SEO rules and regulations, and even without those efforts anymore, the following list of referrers showed up for 2025: As problematic as gab has been over this past year for me as a user, it has sent a fair number of visitors to my content. Both Librti and USA.life, two other alternative platforms that I am on, have sent traffic as well. Lists like this show that no matter where you live, shifting to a more natural way of handling your health using food as medicine is a common train of thought these days. The baffling thing for me, is seeing decidedly muslim nations in the list. Places such as Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Indonesia. it is my prayer that the true seekers among them will find Christ as their Lord and Saviour. If you've never made this decision and want to learn more, reach out to me and let's chat. This concludes our look back over 2025 and what it meant for content people are viewing on Naturalhealthgodsway.ca. Here's looking out across 2026, and asking God to go with us into a year that promises to be adventurous in more ways than one.

We all have a sense of smell. Every food has a scent created by a terpene, alcohol, ester or a phenol. When it comes to wholefood as medicine, one's ability to smell the food aids the mouth in generating intricacies of the salivary amilase. Your saliva is the first step of digestion, telling the stomach what enzymes to call for to digest what is coming down the pipe (literally). I've created a tool to help identify where your body needs help and why. Not all cravings are due to allergies, bad habits, or marketing influences. When the brain cries out for a given food or drink, stop and assess. What's in that food/drink that the brain is calling for? When we identify that, then ingest a healthier option containing that compound, the brain is often happier and the body responds favourably. The tool I've created contains 24 tiny herb vials, each containing a wild herb from the Central Okanagan, chosen for it's affinity for a body system or commonly-seen condition. When you tell me what your knee-jerk reaction is to a scent, I'll note it so we can examine what it might mean for your health picture. There are reasons foods smell, good, bad, nice, awesome, revolting, meh, etc. There are reasons your brain will lung at some scents and recoil at others. While much gentler in scent than EO's, use of the whole plant allows us to get a much more comprehensive smell from which to gather information about what your body needs. If you'd like to book your Scented Plant-based Health Assessment, be sure to fill out my client intake form either in pdf or digitally signed and once I have that in hand and we've had our first session together (first session is always free), we will book your Scented Plant-based Health Assessment.

Islam ‘Radicalization’ Narrative Rejected in Blunt Fox News Interview with Gad Saad [WATCH]! A Fox News segment featuring evolutionary psychologist Gad Saad and host Jesse Watters sparked renewed debate over immigration, religious ideology, and the limits of vetting in Western societies, with Saad arguing that core Islamic tenets are fundamentally incompatible with Western liberties and Watters questioning whether authorities can effectively screen for radical beliefs. During the exchange, Saad said he has spent decades warning about what he described as an irreconcilable conflict between Western values and Islamic doctrine, particularly when adherents fully embrace the religion’s teachings. https://www.lifezette.com/2025/12/islam-radicalization-narrative-rejected-in-blunt-fox-news-interview-with-gad-saad-watch
