Dynacare workers on strike across Manitoba over wage dispute

Erik Pindera 3 minute read 9:07 AM CDT

Dynacare laboratory technicians and technologists are now on strike after contract negotiations with the private company stalled Friday, bringing operations at all Manitoba locations to a halt.

The company, which conducts blood and other medical tests at 22 outlets in Winnipeg, Brandon and surrounding communities, is deadlocked in contract negotiations with the union that represents its 350 workers.

Jason Linklater, president of the Manitoba Association of Health Care Professionals, is expected to speak to reporters at a picket line Monday morning.

The union said in a news release it remains open to “substantive talks” with the company.

Canadians do not want to sacrifice nature for development

Emily McMillan and Akaash Maharaj 4 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s pledge to build faster — “Build, baby, build” — helped propel the Liberals to victory, but his government’s push to fast-track major development projects by cutting environmental oversight is sharply out of step with Canadians’ priorities.

It is a political miscalculation that could come back to haunt the Liberals at the ballot box.

New polling, commissioned by Nature Canada and conducted by EKOS Research Associates, shows strong support among Canadians for protecting nature and endangered species while building the economy.

Canadians soundly reject the notion that they must sacrifice conservation protections for economic development.

Slow start but gritty play not enough in Bombers OT loss to Roughriders in Labour Day Classic

Ken Wiebe 7 minute read Sunday, Sep. 6, 2026

REGINA – Leave it to Brady Oliveira to succinctly describe that fine line between jubilation and the alternate.

In the aftermath of another Labour Day Classic that went down to the wire, Oliveira went through the joy of tying the game with no time left on the clock to the empty feeling that came moments later when the Saskatchewan Roughriders finished off a 32-26 victory on Sunday night before a raucous crowd of 34,352 at Mosaic Stadium.

“It’s terrible,” said Oliveira. “You just kind of feel all of the emotions. I’m pretty pissed right now. We were close, we were right there. We didn’t play our best football and we still gave ourselves a chance, which could be a silver lining.

“I don’t like to look at silver linings because the fact of the matter is we play this game to get positive results. We want to win the game and we didn’t win the game. So, I’m pissed.”

NDP minister needs lesson in political civility

Dan Lett 5 minute read Friday, Sep. 4, 2026

Families Minister Nahanni Fontaine’s decision to intercede in Winnipeg’s mayoral election may be surprising to some political observers. To others, however, it is entirely on brand.

On Tuesday, Fontaine posted a video on social media in which she expressed concern that former city councillor and Progressive Conservative cabinet minister Kevin Klein was entering the race to challenge incumbent Mayor Scott Gillingham.

The caption on the video was blunt: “I mean, really, who chooses to work for Count Dracula?”

“Kevin Klein once worked for Peter Nygard. Peter Nygard is Canada’s equivalent to (American sex offender) Jeffrey Epstein — had his own little island, did unspeakable, disgusting things to women and girls … anyways, I just thought that Winnipeggers would want to know that Kevin Klein, at one point, worked for Peter Nygard,” she says in the video.
