- The Manitoba government is reviewing a contract signed by the previous government in August with a staffing agency that was supposed to bring 150 doctors to the province. So far the agency has recruited none at all.
- This year is not expected to be a bad year as far as flooding in Manitoba. Wildfires, though, may be another story.
- The latest Abacus poll indicates that former Calgary mayor Naheed Nenshi is the most favoured candidate for the Alberta NDP leadership, but even under his leadership the party would have a hard time winning an election. Because Albertans gonna Alberta I guess.
- A report from Environmental Defence has concluded that the Trudeau government is still subsidizing fossil fuels with billions of dollars. It's kind of a mystery; the kind of people who they're trying to win over aren't going to vote Liberal no matter what, because of their irrational hatred of everything Trudeau and the Liberals represent. And by doing this they're giving sensible, rational Canadians a good reason to hate them.
- The University of Winnipeg had to cancel classes Monday and is still struggling, after what was described as a "cyber incident" shut down the school's networks. Apparently professors have forgotten how to deliver a lecture without computers.
- Across the country, school attendance has failed to recover to pre-pandemic levels. The long term impact of this remains to be seen. Meanwhile in Manitoba drug-related deaths have skyrocketed since 2020 as well.
- A Toronto woman has been charged with multiple offenses, including criminal negligence causing bodily harm, after her dog, which was unlawfully off leash in a playground, attacked a child and caused injuries described as "life-altering". She allegedly then attempted to flee the scene rather than render assistance; what makes this especially galling is that she and her partner have been in trouble before over the same issue.
- Two men charged in the human smuggling case that led to an Indian family freezing to death on the Manitoba-Minnesota border have pleaded not guilty.
