Canadian-American country music star Orville Peck has postponed all his upcoming shows due to his mental and physical health.

The “Take You Back” singer announced the news on social media Wednesday.

He says he needs to replenish his mental and physical health before he can return to his “Bronco” tour and bring audiences his best.

The cancelled shows include performances in Montreal, Ottawa and Edmonton, as well as the Winnipeg Folk Festival.

The news came the same day that Regina-born singer-songwriter Andy Shauf cancelled his July shows, citing chronic back pain.

The only Canadian date affected is a show in Quebec City on July 13.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 22, 2023.

Bombers continue to be a mystery

Taylor Allen 5 minute read 7:40 PM CDT

Not even Mike O’Shea can put his finger on the 2026 edition of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

At times, his team has resembled a flaming dumpster. At others — including Saturday’s crucial 33-28 victory over the Calgary Stampeders — it has looked like a legitimate Grey Cup contender.

Despite all the twists and turns, the Bombers are now in position to clinch a playoff spot this week if they can beat the first-place Edmonton Elks (12-4) at Commonwealth Stadium on Friday.

“Every year is different, but this one feels a little odd,” O’Shea said with a laugh after Tuesday’s practice at Fort Garry Lions Field.

A piece of Winnipeg’s magic history has vanished, and internationally renowned escape artist Dean Gunnarson is offering a $500 reward to anyone who can make it reappear.

The plaque marked the birthplace of what has become the world’s largest organization of professional and amateur magicians, the International Brotherhood of Magicians, which was founded in Winnipeg more than a century ago.

Gunnarson said fellow magician and local magic historian Bruce Thompson discovered the disappearance Tuesday while on his way to work.

Thompson returned to inspect the site and found what appeared to be evidence it had been forcibly removed.

White-supremacist highway sign casts pall on Steinbach city council campaign

Matthew Frank 4 minute read 7:41 PM CDT

The RCMP is investigating a white-nationalist sign near Steinbach with racist messaging and alleged links to a known Canadian far-right group.

A sign hanging on a overpass at the intersection of Highways 1 and 12 read: “STEINBACH VOTES WHITE NOT BROWN,” according to photos posted on social media.

Also written was the name Nationalist-13, a men’s-only neo-Nazi group, also known as NS-13, primarily based in Hamilton, Ont. The Free Press couldn’t independently verify if the group is associated or who hung the sign.

“On Oct. 13, the Steinbach RCMP were made aware of this sign and have opened an investigation,” a spokesperson said in an email statement. They also said the sign has been removed.

St. Norbert–Seine River wide open race with four contenders

Two farmers, a nurse and a garden shop operator.

While that may sound like the beginning of a “walk into a bar” joke, it’s the description of who is seeking a council seat in St. Norbert-Seine River.

The race is wide open since Markus Chambers, the current representative, isn’t seeking a third term.

Political newcomer Ray Dubois has owned Ron Paul Garden Centre for 17 years, and before that, he ran pharmacy tech businesses.

Calvin Pickard has been many things to Stuart Skinner.

An ally, sounding board, confidante and most importantly, a close friend.

They were a goalie tandem for parts of three seasons with the Edmonton Oilers, making two trips to the Stanley Cup final, combining for 29 playoff wins, but falling just short of achieving the ultimate goal on both of those occasions.

They were opponents just once last season when the Oilers and Pittsburgh Penguins met for the first time since the trade that shipped Skinner to Pennsylvania, but it was Tristan Jarry – the guy he was traded for – standing at the opposite side of the rink.
