John Pinette’s bronchitis should be should be gone by the fall, so the standup comedian will make up his postponed shows then.

Pinette cancelled his Canadian tour — which would have stopped at the Burton Cummings Theatre Saturday — due to a severe case of bronchitis and exhaustion. He has rescheduled the tour and will perform at the same Winnipeg venue, Oct. 19.

Ticket holders can use their May 5 tickets for the new date, or get refunds at point of purchase.

Manitoba doctor denies working to revive Carberry ER in response to recruitment lawsuit

A Manitoba doctor has denied he was working as a recruiter after an Ontario doctor accused him of misleading him about a position at the Carberry hospital.

Dr. Klevis Iliriani, who worked at the hospital in Carberry from May to August 2024, filed his statement of claim in Court of King’s Bench earlier this year.

Iliriani, who lives in an Ottawa suburb, has alleged recruiters negligently misrepresented the job at the Carberry hospital and breached the terms of his contract, which resulted in less pay than promised.

His court filing names defendants Dr. Dave Maharajh and Barry Banek as the recruiters.

Feeding hope’s flame: Sisters support annual ovarian cancer event on mom’s behalf

Tiago Resko 4 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 7:42 PM CDT

When Christa Slatnik and Cindy Sanchez lost their mother to ovarian cancer in 2000, it was devastating.

But when the twin sisters got the opportunity to volunteer for Winnipeg’s first-ever Ovarian Cancer Walk of Hope in 2004, it allowed them to honour their mother and continue her legacy.

“Although losing her was the hardest thing we’ve ever gone through, especially when we were only 23 years old, to try to take such a negative thing and turn it around and help other people makes her loss feel like it’s improving the world by increasing awareness,” said Slatnik.

The walk of hope on Sept. 27 will mark 22 years of the sisters volunteering with Ovarian Cancer Canada to bring the walk of hope to Winnipeg.

U of M study shows female entrepreneurs have it tough on dating market

Jen Zoratti 6 minute read Yesterday at 10:00 AM CDT

Xiumei Li had a friend who had been on the dating scene for a while.

He’d been seeing an impressive woman, a startup founder building a successful business. She was a good conversationalist. She was interesting.

She sounded great. So why didn’t it work out?

Some gentle prodding revealed he was intimidated by her, but also felt that “there was a gap between what he expected for a partner versus what this female entrepreneur had to offer,” Li says.

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.

RUTH BONNEVILLE / FREE PRESS FILES The Public Utilities Board has finalized a four per cent general rate increase for Manitoba Hydro, effective Jan. 1, 2026 along with general revenue increases of 3.5 per cent for Jan. 1, 2027, and three per cent for Jan. 1, 2028.

I recently read Manitoba Hydro’s integrated resource plan (IRP) and the independent review by Daymark Energy. I’m no expert, but it seems clear that Hydro’s plan to add three new gas combustion turbines to the Brandon power station is going to cost Manitobans a lot more than we bargained for.

Four teens dead in crash near Winnipeg Beach

1 minute read Yesterday at 4:52 PM CDT

Four teenagers have died in a highway crash near Winnipeg Beach.

Manitoba RCMP are investigating the two-vehicle collision, which happened at about 9:15 p.m. Sept. 6. A vehicle travelling west on Highway 229 was struck while crossing Highway 8, RCMP stated in a news release Monday.

Everyone inside the westbound vehicle died at the scene, including the driver, an 18-year-old female from Winnipeg, and three passengers: an 18-year-old male from Gimli, an 18-year-old female from Sandy Hook and a 17-year-old male from Ear Falls, Ont.

The intersection is controlled by stop signs for westbound and eastbound traffic. Both vehicles went into the southwest ditch, with one vehicle rolling and landing on its roof, RCMP stated.
