You’d only regret not acting on longtime crush

Maureen Scurfield 3 minute read Yesterday at 2:00 AM CDT

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: For years I had a big crush on my older sister’s hot-looking best friend who was often over at our house. My sister found out about my crush and told me, “I’ll kill you, if you go after my friend!” I was crushed at the time, and kept my distance, although I still had erotic dreams about that girl a lot.

This fall my sister is going to university out of province, and her friend is still here in Winnipeg, going to the same college as I am. I ran into her recently at a mall. She looked me up and down and said, “Wow!” Was she teasing me like a little boy or was she actually flirting with me now my sister’s out of the way?

More importantly, do I need my sister’s permission to ask out this friend of hers now she lives in Ontario? Please help!

MOON ALERT: There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions. The moon is in Pisces.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Tread carefully because the sun is opposite Neptune in your sign which can make things confusing. You might think you know what’s going on but actually you either do not have the facts or you’re on the wrong page. And it’s probably not be your fault.

Janice Filmon has a new accolade to add to the list of honours she’s received over the years.

The volunteer, philanthropist and former lieutenant-governor of Manitoba was inducted into the Winnipeg Citizens Hall of Fame on Wednesday. A bronze bust of Filmon was unveiled in Assiniboine Park, where it joins 51 others near the Leaf.

“It’s exciting,” Filmon said. “I don’t remember being so surprised in my adult life as I was when I was told that this was happening.”

In addition to serving as Manitoba’s 25th lieutenant-governor from 2015 to 2022, Filmon has chaired the Nellie McClung Foundation, the CancerCare Manitoba Foundation and co-chaired Leadership Winnipeg.

TIM SMITH / Brandon Sun files Pumpjacks at work in a farm field near Waskada. Manitoba has roughly 4,000 wells currently producing oil and has quadrupled (to four) its number of inspectors in recent years.

Manitoba’s small oil, gas sector lists 31 ownerless sites — far cry from thousands in Alberta, Saskatchewan

Eva Wasney 7 minute read Yesterday at 7:00 AM CDT

As other western provinces struggle to address the environmental and economic fallout from an accumulation of thousands of orphan oil and gas wells, only a tiny portion of Manitoba’s petroleum infrastructure is sitting idle and unclaimed.

But it’s unclear if the province’s small roster of orphan wells is the byproduct of effective regulation — or an historic lack of departmental oversight.

Manitoba’s oil and gas industry is relatively small and generally opaque. None of the experts contacted for this story had direct knowledge of the province’s orphan well landscape.

“My lab has probably measured the most non-producing wells in the country. I don’t think anybody I know is working on it (in Manitoba) who are in the academic realm,” says Mary Kang, an associate professor in civil engineering at McGill University in Montreal.

Kevin Cheveldayoff couldn’t help but make light of the situation.

Near the end of the press conference to discuss where things stand with training camp holdout Connor Hellebuyck, the general manager of the Jets was asked if he felt comfortable with the five goalies who were in training camp.

“You know I can’t have five on the roster,” Cheveldayoff quipped.

Only Cheveldayoff knows for sure how he feels about the organizational depth at the position and whether he’s planning to open the campaign with either Dom DiVincentiis or Thomas Milic in the backup role behind Stuart Skinner.

After 30 years of film policy, what does Manitoba actually own?

Hersh Seth 6 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

A property listing from Niverville is worth a close look. It covers 25,000 square feet, has a 40-foot clear-span ceiling rated at 36 tons, 2,400 amps of power, radiant heat in the concrete, pre-cast walls, and four acres situated at the intersection of Wallace Road and Provincial Road 311. The advertisement states that it’s brand new and asks $9.5 million.

This is Jette Studios, and it has never hosted a single production.

Three years ago Julijette and Volume Global announced a private investment of $30 million aimed at setting up a studio village in phases, which was to create as many as 300 jobs. The local member of the legislative assembly referred to Niverville as the Hollywood of the north. The province had already committed $40.6 million to infrastructure in and around the town and then, in April, pledged an additional $10 million for road work on the grounds that it would lead to a smoother drive to the studio. The building opened in the spring and was put up for sale on August 16.

It has not been made public why the property is for sale, and it would be unfair to speculate about the finances of a private company from outside. However, there is a reasonable question underlying this situation, and it goes beyond just one building: given all the public money that has been spent, what does Manitoba actually own?
