- A focus group consisting of likely voters from Winnipeg's swing constituencies were favourable towards Wab Kinew and the NDP, were somewhat turned off by Heather Stefanson and the Tories, and barely know who Dougald Lamont was. If that's reflective of the broader picture (a big if with focus groups) it bodes well for the NDP.
- Tamara Lich and Chris Barber are about to be tried for mischief, obstructing police, counselling others to commit mischief and intimidation in connection with the "Freedom Convoy" protest in Ottawa. Meanwhile in the States, Enrique Tarrio of the Proud Boys is to be sentenced for his role in the Capitol riot.
- Glaciers in the Rockies are quickly disappearing, with one well-studied example in Banff National Park having retreated by 80 metres horizontally.
- A Lone Star Tick, the species known to sometimes cause people to develop an allergy to red meat and dairy products, has been found on a dog in Winnipeg. Turns out this is the seventh one found in Manitoba since July 2022. The species is not yet considered established here, but conditions are changing.
- Cuba has discovered a human trafficking ring allegedly forcing Cuban citizens to join Russia's military. If that's how Russia treats their supposed friends one might expect them to have a hard time finding more, but one of their people is leading the polls in Slovakia. And they can still rely on the DPRK for the time being.
- Turkey's attempt to salvage the Black Sea grain deal has not succeeded.
- The Church of Scientology is lobbying against effective right to repair legislation, apparently out of fear that people will be able to reverse engineer their "E-meters" and reveal the mumbo jumbo that underlies them.
