Winnipeggers unhappy with city leadership, but mostly unwilling to do anything about it

This is not an endorsement (not my job) nor is it a prediction (predictions are for suckers) of what will happen Wednesday in Winnipeg’s mayoral race. It is, however, a call to arms for voters.

Trump says he expects trade war with Canada to end ‘pretty soon’

OTTAWA - U.S. President Donald Trump says he expects his constantly evolving trade war with Canada to end "pretty soon" as Prime Minister Mark Carney suggests Washington could be moving closer to Ottawa's demands.

Trump told a rally in Port Huron, Michigan, on Sunday that Canada had been "ripping off" the U.S. on trade and he had no choice but to impose levies on Canadian goods.

He said the trade dispute would be settled "pretty soon" and that Canada was "willing to give us anything at this moment."

At a news conference Monday, Carney was asked if there had been any movement on the trade file in the past week.

Winnipeg put on a great event with Heritage Classic, Jets can’t hold up their end of the bargain

The Winnipeg Jets know how to throw a great outdoor party. Unfortunately for the club, they haven’t perfected the all-important hockey portion of the Heritage Classic.

A 2-1 loss to the Montreal Canadiens on Sunday night inside Princess Auto Stadium comes 10 years after a 3-0 downer against the Edmonton Oilers inside the same football facility.

Better luck in 2036, perhaps?

Hey, at least the Jets finally found a way to score a goal in this one as Isak Rosen broke Jacob Fowler’s shutout bid with just under five minutes left in regulation. But they were ultimately unable to finish off a memorable weekend with a much-needed win in front of a raucous, sold-out crowd of 32,343.

Salomonsson ‘feeling good’ after season debut in Jets colours

Sal is officially back with his NHL pals and is eager to get back up to speed.

The Swedish blue-liner made his season debut with the Winnipeg Jets in the Heritage Classic on Sunday in his return from off-season shoulder surgery. And Elias Salomonsson handled himself well despite his return to NHL action coinciding with the spectacle of an outdoor game.

Sure, there was the expected rust to shake off after being limited to two games with the Manitoba Moose last week, but the defenceman was immediately elevated into a second pairing role.

“He showed off his skating and first-pass ability,” said Jets head coach Scott Arniel. “His timing, some contact and practicing at NHL pace will help him get up to speed.”
