Manitoba’s premier still tops public approval, but a big tax cut on groceries hasn’t hit wallets like promised. Despite removing the 7% PST to save $24 million, most Manitobans say their bills are still soaring—savings feel like pennies against skyrocketing prices. A poll of 50 shoppers found 44 saw no real change, and families are scrambling for deals just to make ends meet. The government hasn’t responded yet, leaving many wondering if the policy was more political than practical.

AS Roma’s stunning four-match Serie A win streak has everyone stunned — and for good reason. Donyell Malen is lighting up the league with six goals in three weeks, including clutch winners, while rookie defender Leonardo Balerdi, barely 129 minutes into his loan, is already being compared to Franco Baresi by Gasperini. The coach himself has turned this squad into a Champions League contender, and now they’re set to clash with Inter Milan — also undefeated — in a high-stakes showdown that could define their season.

Thanks to clearer data from the Manitoba Jobs Agreement, the Building Trades Council confirms this success isn’t luck—it’s a smart strategy that’s building a stronger, more inclusive skilled trades workforce.

Misipawistik Cree Nation in northern Manitoba is calling on hunters to voluntarily halt moose hunting this fall and winter, citing a critically low population of just 281 animals — down from previous counts — and accusing the province of failing to protect them. Land guardians will monitor the area and engage with hunters, as locals report increasingly scarce sightings, even venturing into Saskatchewan to hunt. For the First Nation, moose are far more than game — they’re central to culture, family traditions, and spiritual connection to the land. With treaty rights at stake, Misipawistik has also filed legal action against the provincial governme...

Penner leads the league in receiving yards while Element follows closely in passing stats. Now, riding momentum, they face undefeated Regina at home — ready to prove their best is yet to come. ...

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre paints a grim picture of Canada’s economy, crime, and jobs—but the data tells a different story. Crime severity is actually falling, job losses in one month don’t reflect the year-over-year gain of over 200,000 positions, and GDP grew 0.8% in Q2. While opposition leaders are meant to spotlight problems, when facts contradict the narrative, attention fades. Maybe focusing on reality—warts and all—would be more effective.

Winnipeg mayoral candidate Kevin Klein is rolling out a bold, four-year plan to make Winnipeg the safest city in Canada — starting with 100 to 110 new police hires at a cost of $9–$11 million, plus a public safety task force led by former police chief Devon Clunis to strategize and measure success. He’s also pledging panic buttons on all transit buses within two years to protect drivers from assaults, while pushing the provincial government to expand drug treatment courts as an alternative to incarceration for substance-related offenses.

Manitoba’s roads are getting deadlier this year, with 60 traffic deaths already reported — Portage la Prairie hit especially hard.

And in town, neighbors have halted approval of a new daycare after raising alarms about traffic, parking, and design uncertainty.

Larry Brock, the MP for Brantford-Brant South-Six Nations, has officially resigned from Parliament effective September 18th, stepping back to rejoin his legal career at the Crown attorney’s office — a move that signals yet another Conservative MP exiting Pierre Poilievre’s caucus since the last election. This departure creates a byelection vacancy in Ontario, joining five other vacant seats set to be filled soon. Brock’s exit follows a prior announcement and marks his fifth year in office; it’s part of a growing trend with six MPs leaving Poilievre’s ranks this year. While some have joined the Liberals or...

The third driver, a 41-year-old, was treated for minor injuries. RCMP are investigating how the chain reaction unfolded — a sobering reminder of road dangers that can turn tragic in seconds.
