NS-13 propaganda spotted on Pembina.

Signs of local neo-Nazi recruiting efforts spark concern

Conrad Sweatman 7 minute read Yesterday at 2:00 AM CDT

A far-right canvassing push in Manitoba this month is raising concerns among Winnipeg residents.

Stickers promoting Nationalist-13, a men’s-only neo-Nazi group also known as NS-13 based primarily in Hamilton, Ont., have appeared in Winnipeg and parts of southern Manitoba. The stickers bear national socialist branding and messages such as “White Man, Fight Back” and “White Community, Political Action, Training and Fitness.”

Winnipeg writer Jess Woolford recently encountered an NS-13 poster on Pembina Highway.

“It was appalling,” Woolford said. “It has the Nazi death heads covering people’s faces. It was pretty disturbing to come across this … I just didn’t expect to see it so blatantly displayed in my neighbourhood.”

Important lessons lostRe: Parents still in charge amid health curriculum overhaul: premier, Sept. 23

The premier’s assurance that parents could continue to “opt-out” their children from health education classes on the premise that specific topics clash with their “personal beliefs” is, at once, disappointing and concerning.

To be blunt, such an approach is Trumpian. It condones “othering.”

The new curriculum content is intended to provide students with factual information that will help keep them safe from myriad physical, emotional and mental harms while also providing opportunities to develop understanding, respect and compassion for their fellow humans.

Nuit Blanche ready to wow in city’s core

Conrad Sweatman 5 minute read Friday, Sep. 25, 2026

For one night each September, downtown Winnipeg becomes an art gallery — an amusement park, even.

During Nuit Blanche, which takes place tonight, 3D projections spill across the Exchange District, The Forks and St. Boniface, and thousands flood the city core to take in live music, DJs and installations.

“There really isn’t anything like it. I know every promoter probably tells you that, but we are the only event that works at this scale in the fall,” says Nuit Blanche general manager Kurt Tittlemier.

“Culture Days Manitoba is run with the mission statement to make free, accessible artistic programming to all,” he adds, referring to the multi-week national festival, “and Nuit Blanche is our flagship event.”

‘Scared to Snitch’ could take subtler approach

Maureen Scurfield 3 minute read Yesterday at 2:01 AM CDT

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I just read the letter from “Scared to Snitch” and have some comments. The mother-in-law who gambles is an adult with a decent income. Nowhere does the letter say her gambling is causing her problems.

If that is the way she wants to spend her time, using her money, and it’s not impacting her life, what about letting it be? She’s an adult making her own decisions.

Options? Have a conversation with her, and ask, “Why those tears at the thought of others knowing?” That may be an opening to explore things more deeply. Why is she fearful?

I’m speaking from experience, having had a loved one deep into the addiction, which caused obvious and big consequences.

Prost! Raise a glass to Oktoberfest

Ben Sigurdson 4 minute read Yesterday at 2:01 AM CDT

As September comes to a close, a pair of local breweries are bringing some serious gemütlichkeit.

For the uninitiated, gemütlichkeit’s a word that doesn’t translate neatly from German to English, but which roughly means friendliness and good cheer.

Both Devil May Care Brewing Co. (155 Fort St.) and Kilter Brewing Co. (450 Rue Deschambault) are hosting Oktoberfest parties this weekend featuring food, music, games and, of course, plenty of beer.

Both breweries are rolling out special releases to coincide with their respective Oktoberfests — expect malty festbiers, marzens, rauchbiers and other German-inspired brews, served up in hefty steins alongside Bavarian-inspired fare. Devil May Care’s festivities run through to Sunday and feature eats by Freebird Kitchen, while Kilter keeps the party going through to Saturday, Oct. 3, and is offering pretzels and Oktoberfest-themed hot dogs. Lederhosen is encouraged.
