Chef’s choice — barbecue sauce

There is nothing that speaks more of summer in the city, than sipping on a libation and nibbling on wings dripping in sweet sticky sauce.

That can occur in your backyard or at one of the many patios restaurants around the city.

Here’s a barbecue sauce recipe that you can use on chicken wings or ribs.

45 ml oil

1 teaspoon dijon Mustard

1/2 cup brown Sugar

1 chili pepper

2 teaspoons chili powder (use more or less to taste)

1 teaspoon liquid smoke (available at most Asian food stores)

1/2 teaspoon hickory salt (or regular salt)

2 cups Ketchup

1 cup water

1 clove garlic, crushed

Yields 1 litre

Combine all ingredients together, except oil, stirring well.

Bring to a boil and simmer for 40 minutes.

Strain and use over wings or ribs. (add a shot of Bourbon to booze them up a little)

And if you want to sample how we make it, stop by our patio at the School of Hospitality and Culinary Arts in Bijou Park adjacent to Old Market Square. Chefs Jonathan Royal and Claire Snowball have conjured up patio fair — including BBQ turkey wings — with style and a twist. Open Tuesday to Saturday, 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. Come on down – we’ve been expecting you!

Back to school means increased costs for parents, post-secondary students

Joel Schlesinger 6 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

In the words of advice for students from Thornton Melon: “It’s rough out there. Move back in with your parents.”

As comedian Rodney Dangerfield’s character alluded to in the 1986 comedy Back to School, it is indeed a tough financial environment as students head back to the classroom in 2026.

A Capital One Canada survey found families are struggling with costs, with nearly six in 10 parents surveyed stating back-to-school expenses are higher than expected.

It’s not just tuition, new clothes and supplies. Extracurricular activities — like hockey, figure skating, ringette, soccer, dance, etc. — also ramp up, involving tuition-sized payments.

MPI restricts loan program to winter tires only

MPI restricts loan program to winter tires only

Nicole Buffie 5 minute read Thursday, Sep. 3, 2026

Manitoba Public Insurance is getting strict about its winter tire program after years in which customers used it to buy other types of tires.

As of Oct. 1, only tires that are “designed and marketed solely for winter driving conditions, including snow and ice,” will be eligible for financing through the public insurer.

Currently, all-weather, all-season, four-season and year-round tires are included in the program, which allows MPI clients to pay the cost in monthly installments. The program, established in 2014, offers financing for up to $2,000, plus interest.

In an email to retailers, MPI says the program is being changed so it “helps ensure customers receive the full winter-driving safety benefits associated with dedicated winter tires.”

Woman who saved child, father from Red River uncomfortable with hero label

Scott Billeck 6 minute read Wednesday, Sep. 2, 2026

A Winnipeg woman who’s been hailed as a hero by police for saving a father and his young child from the Red River says she doesn’t feel like one.

“I’m a mom… and I would do it again,” said Jayclyn Morrissette, who was walking with her neighbour through St. John’s Park on Aug. 24 when they spotted a young girl flailing in the nearby river. “I was meant to be there and that was supposed to happen.”

Morrissette, who spoke to the Free Press Wednesday after police released details about the rescue, said she and her neighbour began looking for the child’s parents and found them at the nearby playground searching for her.

Morrissette waved them over. The father, who she said could not swim, jumped into the river first and immediately began to sink.

Mayoralty candidate Vogiatzakis decries war of words

Joyanne Pursaga 4 minute read Yesterday at 5:28 PM CDT

A mayoral candidate took aim at personal insults among two of his competitors Friday, stressing the election campaign should focus on city issues instead.

“I’m really embarrassed by the mayoral candidates slinging mud at each other. We should be more professional … I don’t think we need to bring up people’s past or garbage that they’ve been involved in. I think this needs to be about the City of Winnipeg and what we’re going to do for the City of Winnipeg,” Mike Vogiatzakis said at a press conference Friday.

He confirmed he was referring specifically to skirmishes between Scott Gillingham, who is seeking re-election as mayor, and Kevin Klein, a former city councillor and provincial cabinet minister who registered for the race this week.

Within a few hours of Klein’s Tuesday announcement that he would enter the mayoral contest, Gillingham issued a statement labelling Klein “toxic,” a “Caribbean political fixer” for Peter Nygard and a supporter of U.S. President Donald Trump.

Agriculture sector wary of ‘strong headwind’ from south

Laura Rance-Unger 5 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

Industry analysts talked in circles on a recent webinar as they discussed the implications for agriculture of Canada’s deteriorating relationship with its largest trading partner.

On one hand, panellists for the hastily convened Canadian AgriFood Policy Institute event acknowledged the futility of negotiating on quicksand: a deal made today with the United States might be sucked into the muck tomorrow.

But on the other, webinar panellists speculated with varying degrees of optimism over what it will take to get negotiators back to bargaining.

This disconnect isn’t unique to this cluster of analysts. However, it underscores the difficulty of coming to terms with the seismic shift in America’s attitudes towards Canada.

INSTEAD of a travel itch, confusion and frustration have emerged among some Manitoba brewers while the province plans interprovincial trade missions for the sector.

The government has slated $500,000 for its initiative.

Work is just beginning. The Manitoba Chambers of Commerce and Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries have been tapped to assist.

Delegations may land in Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia or Ontario, a government spokesperson said.
