DescriptionEpisode SummaryMost days, the news scrolls by faster than a Tim Hortons drive-thru—but every so often, a few stories remind us that goodness is still trending quietly, faithfully, one act at a time.
This week, Johan shares stories of neighbours whose small acts made a big impact:
00:55 The Interest Rate on Kindness Just Went Up
02:27 Waffling Her Way into Everyone’s Heart
4:40 Neighbourhood Watch | When Fences Make Good Neighbours—and Jackhammers Don’t
6:46 Knit Happens – How Port Stanley Painted the Town Red
From hidden cash to hand-stitched gratitude, these stories prove compassion is still Canada’s quiet superpower.
