Episode Summary

Most 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.
