All are welcome to join the fourth annual North Star Sunday service on September 27th at 11 a.m. at Durham Memorial A.M.E. Zion Church, 200 East Eagle Street, Buffalo, pastored by Reverend Michael Bell, with guest speaker DeWitt Lee III, the annual North Star Day UGRR award presentations, and a community ceremonial North Star Walk to Freedom to the Michigan Street Baptist Church.

Once arriving, we have something especially exciting and empowering for the youth.

Because this Sunday is North Star Day, the youth will be instructed in how freedom seekers were able to read the constellations and use the North Star to self-emancipate themselves by making it to Canada.

we have seen from the ukraine war how important satellite communications are on the battlefield the ukrainian forces have relied on starlink to a great extent in targeting russian forces and keeping track of their own troop movements but this fits this idea that canada would have our own satellite system it fits with carnegie's ambition to develop sovereign cloud computing domestic artificial intelligence capacity and other tech controlled by canadians for canadians but the key takeaway here is We are not expecting any combat with the U.S. forces at any time soon.

They're not going to be tanks rolling across Peace Bridge or at Lewiston or any kind of War of 1812 revisited.

specifically the Peace Bridge.

We look at what went down last night.

The Buffalo Bills playing the Detroit Lions, an American football game, two American teams, led off by the Canadian national anthem.

We drink Labatt, which is a Canadian beer.

We cross the Peace Bridge frequently, and we see Canadians as our neighbors.

I don't have a problem with the Buffalo Bills doing this.

I really don't.
