Police can’t arrest away city drug crisis

Tom Brodbeck 5 minute read 2:02 AM CDT

Winnipeggers have debated how to respond to the city’s worsening drug crisis for years.

There has never been much disagreement that open drug use, trafficking and disorder in public spaces are serious problems. The disagreement has been about how to respond without making a deadly crisis even worse.

The Winnipeg Police Service’s recent 10-day crackdown on open drug use has made one thing abundantly clear: while enforcing the law is entirely appropriate, the operation appears to have been poorly planned and insufficiently co-ordinated with the people who understand the crisis best.

Police have every right — and indeed an obligation — to enforce laws on drug trafficking and other criminal activity. Nobody should expect officers to simply ignore illegal behaviour on city streets.

Province has ‘serious concerns’ with Winnipeg personal care home

Tyler Searle 5 minute read Yesterday at 5:51 PM CDT

The Manitoba government has placed licensing conditions on a Winnipeg personal care home after an inspection uncovered “serious concerns” related to the safety of senior residents.

Health Minister Uzoma Asagwara confirmed the province issued the order against the Extendicare Heritage Lodge — an 86-bed nursing home at 3555 Portage Ave. — effective June 9.

“This is an important oversight tool, and it is not used lightly. Conditions are imposed when there are serious concerns that require enhanced oversight and clear, corrective action,” Asagwara said in a statement.

“Our expectation is simple: Extendicare must meet the standards Manitoba seniors and families deserve. We will continue working with the (Winnipeg Regional Health Authority) to monitor this facility closely and ensure the required improvements are made.”

This is the new abnormal

I’m sure we all have read with concern articles about “new” events we are having to deal with. Very specifically: more in number, and intensity, wildfires and the smoke that comes with them; flooding, as we have seen this summer; the hottest days on record and potential for heat domes; more tornadoes; drought conditions affecting forests, crops, even lowering the water table.

We are also informed to expect these events to happen on a regular basis — every summer!

What I take issue with is the phrase “new normal.” These events are not normal, period. They are abnormal. The word “normal” somehow implies that what is happening is all right; it is OK. That we just have to get used to them.

Winnipeg high school football coach subject of hazing investigation

Maggie Macintosh 4 minute read Tuesday, Jul. 7, 2026

Manitoba’s independent teacher commissioner is investigating the head coach of the Grant Park Pirates football program amid allegations of team hazing.

The AAAA varsity team is at the centre of a probe into allegations student-athletes who played for Doug Kovacs during the 2025-26 school year drew blood while carrying out a locker room ritual.

Multiple sources confirmed Kovacs was put on leave from Grant Park High School in the spring in response to a complaint about his coaching style.

“There’s a lot of different red flags here,” said one parent of a football player who was recently contacted about the case by the office of commissioner Noni Classen.

Tanmaxxing trend leaving gen Z cooked

Picture it: a tanning salon, 2009.

An endless loop of Pitbull’s I Know You Want Me — uno dos tres quatro — is thumping while I, marinating in a lotion with a scent best described as Coconuts N’ Chemicals, am getting a base tan.

I am going to Lollapalooza in Chicago again and do not want to burn the way I did the year before. My fellow millennials will know the true torture that is a gladiator-sandal sunburn at a summer music festival that requires hours of standing. And don’t even get me started on the tan lines after. Like a trussed turkey.

That very same summer, international cancer experts moved tanning beds into the highest risk category for cancer, alongside tobacco smoke, the hepatitis B virus and, memorably, mustard gas. After two or three sessions, I quit going to the tanning salon and never returned.

Carney’s pick for Manitoba senator called a curious choice

Carol Sanders 5 minute read Thursday, Jul. 9, 2026

Manitoba’s newest representative in the Senate only moved to the province in 2019.

Unlike former Manitoba Senate candidates, Geeta Tucker hasn’t known this province for very long — and that’s raised the eyebrows of some experienced politicians and academics.

Retired Manitoba senator Don Plett said he hadn’t heard of Tucker until this week. The Conservative said he has nothing against her personally, but he questioned whether she knows Manitoba well enough to represent its interests in the chamber of sober second thought.

“I think it is imperative that you have strong roots to the region you’re representing,” Plett said Wednesday.
