IT’S hard to be shocked anymore by Madonna, but when the Living for Love singer stopped by The Howard Stern Show on Wednesday, she made a revelation about her love life that was pretty surprising.

When Stern asked Madonna why one of her appearances on The Late Show with David Letterman in 1994 seemed particularly “contentious,” the singer admitted that rapper Tupac had her feelin’ some kind of way:

“I was dating Tupac Shakur at the time, and the thing is, he got me all riled up about life in general. So, when I went on the show I was feeling very gangster.”

Madonna verbally spars with David Letterman in 1994.

Interesting, very interesting. We hope Tupac is enjoying this shoutout from his mansion in the sky.

Salvation Army calls on Winnipeggers to donate merchandise as sales soar

Kelly-Anne Riess 4 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

The Salvation Army is taking donated merchandise from other regions to stock its Winnipeg thrift stores as increasing sales outpace local donations.

Retail activity at the charity’s eight Winnipeg locations grew more than 10 per cent year over year during several months, from January through April, and again in June.

Although local donations remain strong, they haven’t kept pace with demand, prompting the organization to supplement inventory with merchandise from elsewhere.

Ted Troughton, managing director of the Salvation Army’s thrift store operations, said rising living costs are bringing in new customers.

Officials say catastrophic base fire was known ahead of time, allowed to burn

Jack Farrell and Fakiha Baig, The Canadian Press 5 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 9:33 PM CDT

Canada's military says a grass fire that killed four soldiers and sent scores more to hospital with bad burns was known well beforehand but not considered a threat.

Maj.-Gen. Wade Rutland, commander of 1st Canadian Division, says the grass fire was a kilometre away and considered sufficiently under control that training exercises were allowed to continue Saturday afternoon at Canadian Forces Base Wainwright in central Alberta.

However, he said conditions — including a violent, sudden windstorm — sent those flames racing over the Prairie landscape at lightning speed, landing right on top of the soldiers.

"This was a very uncommon occurrence," Rutland told a news conference Sunday.

Four councillor candidates vie for wide-open Fort Rouge-East Fort Garry ward

One of Winnipeg’s most densely populated wards is up for grabs come election day.

Four candidates are in the running in Fort Rouge-East Fort Garry, with the councillor position wide open after area Coun. Sherri Rollins announced in July she would be withdrawing her candidacy.

Journalist Brook Jones, hospitality worker and union organizer Carson Mauthe, city planner Jeff Palmer and retired finance worker Kevin Stuart have thrown their hats in the race.

Palmer has worked as a city planner for more than 20 years, in both the non-profit and private sectors, including CentreVenture and the University of Winnipeg Community Renewal Corporation.

Instead of canola on Friday, there was sod.

But in two years’ time, by current estimates, the bare plot of land in a St. Boniface industrial park will hold canola samples and seeds for testing.

Bayer Canada officially broke ground on a 60,000-square-foot research and development facility Friday morning.

“It’s about bringing new and better innovation to farmers,” said Kacy Perry, Bayer Crop Science Canada’s country division head.

Backstreet Boys’ 12-show Toronto run offers millennials a ticket to simpler times

Alex Nino Gheciu, The Canadian Press 5 minute read Saturday, Oct. 17, 2026

When Chelsea Smith heard the Backstreet Boys were coming to Toronto, she had a simple message for the five men who soundtracked her childhood.

“Here's my credit card, take all my money.”

The 35-year-old Vancouver fan wasn’t bluffing. Having already travelled to Las Vegas to see her teenybopper crushes, she's now preparing to fly across the country for two Toronto concerts, spending roughly $600 on tickets alone.

And she's hardly the only millennial willing to pay a tidy sum to party like it’s 1999.
