A man in his 20s is in critical condition after he was shot in downtown Winnipeg early Sunday morning.

MOON ALERT: Avoid shopping (except food and gas) and important decisions from 8 a.m. until noon today. After that, the moon moves from Cancer into Leo.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Hang in there, because as this day progresses, it becomes more lighthearted and fun-loving. Admittedly, power struggles with a friend or member of a group might squelch things. Be patient with kids. Basically, this is a friendly and productive day.

‘It’s childish’: Americans in Canada react to Trump’s renaming of Lake Ontario

Sharif Hassan, The Canadian Press 5 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 10:39 AM CDT

If you’re angered by U.S. President Donald Trump's renaming of Lake Ontario to “Lake America,” chances are that an American living in your neighbourhood might be just as outraged — if not more.

Many Americans who've made Canada their home are calling it an embarrassing, even "childish," stunt.

Ben Davis, a retired law professor, said Trump’s executive order to change the lake’s name is "so beneath the office of the United States president."

"And obviously it's another one of his distractions of the day, but it's just pitiful,” Davis said.

Smith’s pretzel logic confuses

Editorial 4 minute read Saturday, Sep. 5, 2026

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith had both sides of her mouth working overtime on Aug. 30, when she spoke at an event in Calgary to commemorate Alberta Day, the annual celebration of the province’s entry into Confederation in 1905 (officially Sept. 1, it was celebrated on the weekend).

Smith’s comments — and the things she did not say — revealed a lot about the political tightrope the premier is trying to walk over the challenges currently faced by her province. At the top of that list of challenges is a persistent campaign to separate Alberta from the aforementioned Confederation. A campaign that Smith appears to both support and oppose, depending on which day of the week it is.

Her Alberta Day remarks were an excellent case in point.

Smith has decided that on Oct. 19, Albertans will vote on a series of non-binding propositions in a province referendum. One of those questions will ask Albertans whether they want to hold a referendum on separation, thus making this fall’s vote a “referendum on whether to hold a referendum,” as some observers have dubbed it.

$8.7-million detox centre called ‘high-priced drunk tank’

Carol Sanders 4 minute read Friday, Sep. 4, 2026

The new facility to detain people in a drug psychosis for up to 72 hours is operating the way it should, the government said Friday, even though just 26 people have been held for that purpose since it opened.

“The (protective care centre) is doing what it’s meant to do: support people, meet them where they’re at, provide a caring environment,” Addictions Minister Bernadette Smith said after updated data were posted online.

The vast majority of those detained at the 20-room facility at 190 Disraeli Fwy. were recovering from alcohol intoxication, the update shows.

In total, 4,425 people were detained from the time the site opened on Dec. 2, 2025, until June 30, for an average of less than five hours.

A life's story: translator, poet, radio host, actor loved life to the fullest

Tiago Resko 7 minute read Saturday, Sep. 5, 2026

Born with an innate sense of curiosity, Charles Leblanc always wanted to understand the world around him. To him, words and theatre weren’t just pastimes. They were means of understanding the human experience and helping others see different perspectives.

The poet, translator, actor and radio host dedicated his life to this practice, founding the Winnipeg International Writers’ Festival, establishing French community radio station Envol — where he hosted a show for 25 years — and acting as a core member of the Association of Translators, Terminologists and Interpreters of Manitoba.

Leblanc’s contributions and dedication to Manitoba’s arts and literary scenes made an impact that continues to be felt by the community.

He died June 26 at the age of 75.
