Woman dies in house fire on Fleet Avenue

Morgan Modjeski 4 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 9:37 AM CDT

A woman is dead after a fire destroyed part of a house in Winnipeg’s Rockwood community.

Neighbour Russ Kolisnyk said he watched as fire crews battled the blaze at about 10:30 a.m. at 1076 Fleet Ave. Monday.

“They went into the back of the house with hoses, all of the other equipment, they were in their full gear,” the 61-year-old said. “Then we heard a person coming out and they came out the front door with her.”

A couple, believed to be in their 60s, lived in the home, another neighbour said.

Aren’t there other power options?

Jules Legal 4 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

It seems like only yesterday that Manitoba Hydro was basking in the glory of what to do with all the surplus energy being generated by the newly constructed hydro generating stations along the Nelson River. And so it built a multibillion-dollar, high-voltage hydro line to export this surplus energy to the U.S. Bipole III, they called it.

Now, managers at Manitoba Hydro are telling us Manitobans could be facing a power shortage as early as 2029 and that a natural gas turbine generating station is urgently required.

Part of this looming shortfall can be attributed to our growing population and we must not ignore the fact our consumptive lifestyle keeps demanding ever more megawatts.

So what happened to cause such a dramatic turnaround?

‘Buy Canadian’ takes on new meaning

Gabrielle Piché 6 minute read Yesterday at 6:30 PM CDT

The “Buy Canadian” push has re-emerged as the federal government rolls out tariffs on $27.6 billion worth of imports from the United States.

Premier Wab Kinew led the Manitoba charge Tuesday, hours after the federal government announced the retaliatory levies that will take effect Sept. 8.

“Whether you look at it as an affordability initiative, or you look at it as a way to support our economy here, buying local always makes sense,” Kinew said at an unrelated press conference. “It makes even more sense right now.”

Mark Carney’s government has responded to new 50 per cent tariffs imposed by the United States on $27.6 billion worth of Canadian products. Trade talks between the countries broke down late Friday.

Reject roadie role, stick to your own tune

Maureen Scurfield 5 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: My girlfriend is a great singer and guitar player, but now she’s gotten in with some male musicians to form a band for playing bars. I’m a drummer, but a terrible one. They found themselves a great one a couple weeks ago, so I’ve been pushed out.

My girl could see I was feeling jealous of her continued band action, so she told me I should still come out to help schlep the equipment to and from the gig. That’s just not happening — I won’t be their lowly roadie to boss around!

So, now what happens to her and I? Let me guess — we break up, and what do you know? The singer guy sees his chance and makes a big play for her. She is a beautiful, talented woman. Help!

Another downtown eatery bites the dust

Nicole Buffie 6 minute read Monday, Aug. 24, 2026

Another longtime downtown Winnipeg restaurant has closed its doors, leaving another hole in the city’s core.

Rudy’s Eat & Drink announced on social media it was closing after 15 years in Manitoba Hydro Place but did not cite a reason.

“Cheers to the years of local beer, burger weeks, jets games, weddings, catering, stone soup week, DJ nights, charitable events and everything in between — we will hold these memories forever,” the post said. “The end of an era — but there’s always another chapter.”

General manager Mackenzie Robb declined to comment on the eatery’s closure. Rudy’s last day of service was on Friday.
