Oksusu cha, literally “corn tea,” is a traditional Korean tisane or herbal tea made by steeping roasted corn kernels in boiling water.

Looks like:

The dark brown kernels look like the unpopped kernels that end up at the bottom of your popcorn bowl.

Tastes like:

Roasted corn tea has a mildly sweet and distinctly corn flavour. Sugar may be added if more sweetness is desired.

Used in:

In Korean, oksusu cha is commonly enjoyed hot in the winter and cold during summer. It can be drunk on its own or with meals and is said to boost digestion and intestinal health. It is often combined with roasted barley tea, or “bori cha,” as the corn’s sweetness offsets the slight bitterness of the barley.

Practice — and superstition — makes perfect

It seems the words routine and superstition blend together for the Winnipeg Goldeyes.

While the players have a set pre- and post-game timetable — whether or not they label all game-day routines as superstitions — it’s clear they have their own internal rules that must be followed.

For pitcher James Bradwell, though he believes he doesn’t have any crazy pre-game rituals that need to be upheld, he knows what works and sticks to it.

“I will always put my right sock on before my left, right cleat on before my left,” the North Vancouver product said, having only started these routines after joining the Fish.

Entrepreneurial spotlight finds IndigiHub

Aaron Epp 4 minute read 8:11 PM CDT

The list of accolades keeps getting longer for the Winnipeg-based founder of IndigiHub, an online resource for Indigenous entrepreneurs.

In February, Zachary Flett was named one of three finalists for the Indigenous Innovation Award at North Forge’s inaugural DARE Innovation Awards. In May, he received the Community Impact Award at the Manitoba Tech Awards.

Earlier this month, Flett was selected as one of five finalists in the Indigenous division at the Young Entrepreneur of the Year Awards, a national competition that saw more than 650 people nominated across 10 categories.

The recognition feels good, Flett said, but at the same time, he wants to keep the focus off himself and on his product.

Woman pleads guilty in toddler’s death

Erik Pindera 4 minute read 6:00 AM CDT

A woman who pleaded guilty to failing to provide the necessaries of life after her 13-month-old son died of an drug overdose in their Sherbrook Street apartment will serve a sentence of house arrest.

Latasha Stewart, in her mid-30s, was given the conditional sentence order of two years less a day by provincial court Judge Malcolm McDonald last Wednesday over the Dec. 29, 2022 death of her son Romeo.

“The circumstances in this case are truly tragic. As a result of an adult’s careless drug use, a 13-month-old boy lost his life,” said McDonald.

“It’s hard to imagine a clearer … lesson in the dangers of street-drug use in a household with young children present (than) in this case.”

A number of people were inside and outside the home when police arrived. The victim was pronounced dead after paramedics arrived.

Police said the suspect, Justin Linklater, was arrested at the scene and charged. He was remanded in custody prior to a court appearance.

Senior’s family frustrated by Manitoba Housing’s response to apartment’s bedbug infestation

Malak Abas 5 minute read 6:00 AM CDT

The family of a senior who left his Manitoba Housing apartment after two years of bedbug infestations is accusing the provincial body of being ineffectual and irresponsible in its treatment of the persistent pests.

The senior had lived at the Columbus Courts building at 253 Edgeland Blvd., since 2011, but when he began getting severe skin rashes all over his body about two years ago, his son began to worry.

They found out the 14-storey building was being sprayed for bedbugs after an infestation had impacted several units. After multiple rounds of pesticide treatments, the problem has not subsided, the son told the Free Press.

“They come in, they spray pesticides and then they leave. And it’s been completely ineffectual,” he said. “My dad keeps seeing the bedbugs even the day after the treatments and continuously, they’ve just gotten worse and worse.”

The trolls inside the Conservative tent

David McLaughlin 5 minute read Saturday, Aug. 22, 2026

The Conservative Party of Canada has a troll problem. And it’s coming from inside the tent.

Once, trolls existed only in imagination. They were figures of mythical proportion, big and small. They lived solitary lives under bridges, in caves, or forests. They were considered dim-witted and mean. Best avoided.

Today, they are real, unavoidable, and ubiquitous on social media. They are anything but solitary. There are tribes of them out there and tribal is how they think and post. As for dim-witted and mean, others can opine but they are uniformly mean and dismissive.

Mean to anyone who disagrees with their views. Dismissive of any view but their own. They distribute questionable, at best, facts and opinions grounded in hostility towards anything or anyone deemed disagreeable or heretical to their world view.
