Consequences of verdict on City Football Group satellites primed to be even more damaging

There is a map of the world on which City Football Group shades its influence in blue.

As an illustration, it is not so different from those maps that show the Roman Empire’s territory — mostly around the Mediterranean, coloured red in history textbooks — or on which the extent of the British Empire — also in red — takes up about a fifth of the page.

The visual effect is not an accident.

This map, published on City Football Group’s official website, is introduced by a preamble that declares the holding company to be “the world’s leading private owner and operator of football clubs — with total or partial ownership of 12 worldwide.”

It was a record-breaking night for Harvest Manitoba made possible by a genuine Winnipeg hero and his family.

The organization’s annual Empty Bowls Celebrity Auction Dinner on Thursday raised $6.5 million to support Manitobans facing hunger and food insecurity.

And it was a $5-million legacy donation from late city philanthropist Doug Harvey and his family that will see the event go down in the history books as the largest gala fundraising total ever recorded in Manitoba.

“There was literally nothing that lit my dad up more than contributing himself, but even more so, inspiring others to give,” his daughter Lauren Harvey said Friday.

A Rocky day on the mayoral campaign trail for Kevin Klein

Malak Abas 12 minute read 12:00 PM CDT

Kevin Klein acknowledges it’s hard to foresee what he’ll wake up to each morning in the final weeks of a mayoral campaign.

But the seasoned politician, who has served as both a city councillor and a provincial cabinet minister, couldn’t have predicted the events — what he describes as “drama” — that unfolded last Sunday.

Fellow mayoral candidate Mike Vogiatzakis accused Klein’s campaign team of offering him a job to drop out of the race, while a guest writer’s column in the Winnipeg Sun that questioned the deaths of Indigenous children at residential schools, just days after the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, sparked condemnation from a prominent Indigenous organization. (Klein is the CEO of the Klein Group, the company that owns the Sun. He has maintained he is not involved in its operations while running for mayor.)

The Free Press had already been scheduled to join Klein on the campaign trail Monday, intending to document a day in the life of the front-running candidate to unseat incumbent Scott Gillingham, before the controversies hit.

Klein promises revamped system for mental health, wellness calls

Joyanne Pursaga 4 minute read 5:45 PM CDT

Kevin Klein is promising if elected to pair advanced care paramedics and mental health clinicians in SUVs to respond to some wellness checks, with a goal to treat more patients on scene.

Three such units, with one of each of the specialized staff per vehicle, would be added in each of his first three years in office, the mayoral candidate says.

Through a pilot project, they would help patients primarily with non-violent mental health issues, as well as some less serious medical concerns, if needed.

“The paramedic treats. The clinician connects the patient to care that is not a hallway bed. Together they can cancel the ambulance and the fire truck,” a press release put out by his campaign says.

Manitoba worker dead after fall from roof

Matthew Frank 2 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 5:56 PM CDT

The province is investigating after a worker died on the job after falling off a roof last month.

The worker, who was employed by Winnipeg-based Pristine Roofing & Siding, was critically injured on Sept. 22 after falling from a roof during a residential re-roofing project in the Rural Municipality of St. Andrews, a provincial spokesperson said in an email.

The man later died.

The investigation is ongoing, and no other information will be provided, the spokesperson said Thursday.

Landlords will face fines for breaching confidentiality

Carol Sanders 4 minute read 5:04 PM CDT

The province is amending legislation to allow landlords to be penalized if they breach the confidentiality of tenants who break their lease by obtaining a domestic violence certificate.

“Hopefully, now there’s going to be measures in place so that if this happens again, and God forbid it happens again to anyone else, that there would be penalties imposed on landlords who do that,” said one victim whose concerns were published on the front page of the Free Press last month.

Under current legislation, landlords must ensure that any information received from those tenants regarding the termination of the tenancy is kept confidential, but there are no penalties for landlords who violate that section of the act. After hearing from victims put at risk when landlords broke the law by violating their confidentiality, the government announced Monday that it is amending the Residential Tenancies Act to allow for penalties.

The young woman who spoke to the Free Press showed that her landlord copied her alleged abuser in email correspondence that included her personal email address and the domestic violence certificate she obtained in 2025 to end a tenancy agreement early and leave an abusive relationship.
