That’ll be the question on everyone’s minds on Nov. 20, when comedian and television personality Howie Mandel appears at the Club Regent Event Centre.

Mandel, who’s originally from Toronto, initially hit it big as a standup comedian and as emergency room doctor in the NBC drama St. Elsewhere. He returned to TV prominence in 2005 as the host of the game show Deal or No Deal, which quickly became one of TV’s most popular game shows and earned him an Emmy nomination. He has also been a judge on the NBC talent show America’s Got Talent.

Ontario to move northwest regions to permanent daylight time

Liam Casey, The Canadian Press 3 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 11:29 AM CDT

TORONTO - Ontario is set to move parts of the province's northwest region to permanent daylight time in order to align with Manitoba, Indigenous Affairs Minister Greg Rickford told The Canadian Press.

Rickford said there is overwhelming consensus among municipalities, First Nations and businesses to make the time change permanent.

The province intends to make a regulatory change in the Time Act on Nov. 1 to allow regions west of the 90th meridian to align with Manitoba, he said.

Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew announced last month the province would stop twice-annual clock changes and stay on daylight time year-round in the central time zone, leaving it one hour ahead of the other Prairie provinces rather than aligned with them.

Man pleads guilty to five sex assaults at, near HSC

Dean Pritchard 5 minute read Yesterday at 3:41 PM CDT

A Winnipeg man previously found not criminally responsible for a violent assault on his father has pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting four women and a teen girl in and around the Health Sciences Centre last year.

Donovan Mohammed, 29, admitted responsibility for the attacks, on Friday in Winnipeg court. He remains in custody and will be sentenced at a later date following the completion of a court-ordered pre-sentence report.

Mohammed admitted to sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl and four women — all strangers to him — within the span of an hour on July 2, 2025.

Court heard three of Mohammed’s victims were nurses and three of the assaults were captured on security video.

Slain chef’s family infuriated by stayed charges

Morgan Modjeski 3 minute read 8:28 PM CDT

The family of a Ste. Anne chef who died after an altercation at a party says they are angry a manslaughter charge has been stayed against a 46-year-old man.

“What I’ve been told is they don’t have enough evidence to prosecute criminally because the only ones that are alive to tell the story are saying they did it in self defence,” said Jason Huley, brother of 49-year-old Cameron Huley, who died May 3.

“I’m pissed. I hate our justice system … I feel they let us down.”

Steinbach RCMP were called to a home in the RM of Ste. Anne just after 11:30 p.m. on May 2 about an assault. Cameron Huley was found suffering from serious injuries. He died hours later in hospital, police said.

Trey Vaval’s CFL career was almost over before it even started.

A month and a half before he was scheduled to report to Winnipeg for Blue Bombers rookie camp, Vaval broke his left hand in a motocross accident. An unsuccessful jump sent him flying over the handlebars before the bike came down and crushed his hand.

“As soon as I got up and got off the track, I felt good,” said Vaval after Wednesday’s closed practice.

Even a nurse on site checked him out and told him he likely had nothing more than a sprained wrist.

Tenants battling landlords find help in short supply from province

For nearly three years, Quincy Houdayer and Avery Helm repeatedly pressed their landlord to address plumbing failures, water damage and other maintenance problems at their West Broadway apartment, with records showing some issues persisted until the couple turned to the Residential Tenancies Branch.

Emails and text messages between the tenants, Clearwater Management and the RTB reviewed by the Free Press document recurring leaks and flooding, periods without heat or hot water, concerns about mould and basement conditions and repeated followups from the couple seeking repairs.

“Most of the experiences we’ve had with them can be boiled down to, like, they either are very dismissive about it, they act like it’s not their problem… or they will just fully, blatantly ignore you,” Helm said, adding that the only way to get Clearwater to respond was to threaten going to the RTB, a provincial government agency.

RTB data obtained by the Free Press also shows 13 orders involving the three-building complex at 193-197 Furby St. in 2026 alone. All but one favoured the tenant, while the remaining order ruled in favour of both the tenant and landlord on different items.
