Restaurants ‘under pressure’

Happy hour outings are on Jackie Piggott’s calendar — but even those are fewer.

She and her husband might visit a restaurant once a month. It’s a change over the past year: earlier, they may go twice, thrice or weekly.

“It’s something that we’ve talked about, my husband and myself, just because the pricing is so expensive,” Piggott said, stopping during a grocery run in St. Vital. “It’s also better for our health.”

She’s in the majority: a new Restaurants Canada report found 80 per cent of Canadians are eating out less frequently because of higher living costs, up from 75 per cent in 2025.

Shoal Lake Lodge a manifestation of reconciliation in action

Before proceeding with this story, it is so very important to acknowledge that Shoal Lake (Treaty 3 Territory) is the source of Winnipeg’s drinking water.

Ironically, for all the years that we have enjoyed the gift of some of the best and safest water in the world, those who reside on the shores of its source have suffered without. Years’ long boil water advisories caused insecurity of not having a safe source of water for children and families. That this was only very recently addressed and solved in a just and hopefully lasting way is commentary for another time and in another place.

Today, in the interest in encouraging positive and meaningful conversations in these difficult and divisive time — and in the spirit of looking at the energy of what lies ahead rather than looking back at what was — there is hope. And possibility.

Shoal Lake is situated approximately two hours east of Winnipeg, sitting astride the Manitoba-Ontario border. Two different roads access separate First Nation communities that are on the lake. The first being Freedom Road, completed in June 2018, which intersects the Trans-Canada Highway just west of Falcon Lake, and now allows community members of Shoal Lake FN 40 vehicle access. Second is Ontario Highway 673, across the provincial border, which allows road access to Iskatewizaagegan (Shoal Lake) No. 39.

Tenants slam Alta.-based landlord, protest rent increases

Charlie Medd wasn’t ready for another adventure last October, when she moved out of the Wolseley Avenue apartment she had called home for 15 years.

Medd said life at Lincoln Apartments began to change after Wingspan Properties, an Alberta-based landlord, bought the building, made minor cosmetic changes and increased rent. She felt the changes were intended to push renters — many of them on fixed incomes — out the door.

“At some point, I got scared. I’d been there 15 years,” Medd said about the threat of rent increases. “I’d just painted my whole apartment. But when I heard that there’s going to be that many people homeless, I thought, ‘I’m too old for another adventure.’

“It felt like you were getting a nudge out the door. Like, ‘Yeah, we’re going to be doing this, and your rent is going to go up every year.’”

No more Jets 1.0 or 2.0: League announces all eras of Winnipeg’s club to be merged

Mark Scheifele’s goal was always to chase down his mentor and former Barrie Colts head coach Dale Hawerchuk, no matter what the official record book said.

So when the NHL and the Winnipeg Jets announced on Thursday morning that they were consolidating the franchise history to include the 1.0 and 2.0 eras (including the Atlanta Thrashers chapter of the club), Scheifele was among those to give the move two thumbs up.

“Yeah, it clarifies it for you guys more, not as much (for) me,” said Scheifele. “It’s really cool to bring in the old Jets records, and especially Dale. Chasing him down was always on my mind. So, it’s cool to do it actually in the record books.”

Scheifele remains the franchise leader in games played (961) and he’s likely to eclipse Hawerchuk in goals (Scheifele has 372 to Hawerchuk’s 379) and points (Scheifele has 907 to Hawerchuk’s 929) this season. He now has Thomas Steen’s 553 assists in his sights after amassing 535 heading into 2026-27.
