VANCOUVER – The Jonas Brothers rocked B.C. Place on Sunday during the Grey Cup halftime show.

A mass of cheerleaders and a marching band unveiled Nick, Joe and Kevin Jonas on the field as the pop trio launched into their 2020 hit “What A Man Gotta Do.”

The focus then turned to a neon-lit stage that alternatively spouted fireworks and plumes of flames over the course of the 12-minute set, and the brothers performed shortened versions of eight of their songs.

Dancers and backup musicians on the stage wore black and orange Grey Cup 2024 jerseys, but the Jonas Brothers did not sport any CFL gear.

The band, who first rose to fame following a series of appearances on the Disney Channel in 2005, closed with 2019’s “Sucker” while cheerleaders from across the CFL performed a choreographed dance in front of the stage.

Canadian country artist Owen Riegling performed his songs “Old Dirt Roads” and “Moonshines” before kickoff, and Toronto singer Sofia Camara performed the national anthem.

High road not so easy

Re: Khan should’ve taken high road: Goertzen (Oct. 3)

Politics is a tough game. Just ask former provincial Liberal leader Dougald Lamont. He got thrown under the bus by a prominent Manitoba/Canadian Liberal who advised people to vote NDP in the last provincial election.

As Lamont said when he lost the election, he is “human” and what happened to him “hurt.” Khan is also human. It is easy to criticize him for not taking the “high road.”

Botched execution revives death penalty debate

Arthur Chapman 5 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

The United States of America’s seemingly endless, often futile, search for the painless, bloodless method of executing prisoners continues. The latest horrifying chapter occurred in Tennessee on Sept. 30, when the state tried to kill convicted murderer Christa Pike by lethal injection.

It didn’t work. Pike survived two dosages of pentobarbital. She was rushed to a hospital where, according to her lawyer, she was receiving “lifesaving care”.

Tennessee governor Bill Lee has cancelled upcoming executions, but he isn’t moving away from capital punishment.

Lee said, as quoted in the New York Times: “The people of Tennessee have determined that capital punishment is the appropriate sentence for the most heinous of crimes. The people of Tennessee expect those sentences to be carried out in a manner that’s not only legal and constitutional but effective, and that didn’t happen.”

13 guns seized from West St. Paul homes

1 minute read Yesterday at 12:28 PM CDT

Two men have been charged with a number of firearms offences after an RCMP investigation into illegal weapons in West St. Paul yielded the seizure of more than a dozen firearms last month.

RCMP investigators from the Manitoba Integrated Law Enforcement Team, which probes organized and serious crime in the province, began looking into the two suspects on a tip from the Canada Border Services Agency.

Officers obtained warrants to search two homes, one on Pipeline Road and the other on Griffin Way, on Sept. 11.

Between the two houses, Mounties found 13 guns, including two that were sawed off, about 20,000 rounds of ammunition and several high-capacity magazines that had been altered to hold more ammunition than is legally allowed.

Clocks stay in daylight saving, but analysis backs permanent standard time

Ashley Joannou, The Canadian Press 6 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 6:15 AM CDT

VANCOUVER - Ralph Mistlberger's light is adjustable, allowing him to have the full spectrum of options depending on what his internal clock needs.

"You want cool in the morning. You want warm in the evening or warm in the afternoon," he said.

"And so, it goes from being more bluish in the morning to more reddish in the evenings. Both of those are important because artificial light affects your clock."

Mistlberger knows real sunlight is better than a lamp, but after more than 40 years as a neuroscientist studying sleep and the body's circadian rhythms, he's preparing for what's to come Nov. 1.

Estate of woman who died from local anesthetic injected into blood vessel sues Morden dentist, his business, clinic

Erik Pindera 4 minute read Yesterday at 4:08 PM CDT

The estate of a 23-year-old woman who died after receiving a local anesthetic during a wisdom tooth extraction at a Morden dental clinic has filed a lawsuit over her death.

Virginia Blatz never returned home after she went to Boundary Trails Dental Centre to have her wisdom teeth removed on Nov. 27, 2024. An autopsy later confirmed she died from local anesthetic systemic toxicity caused by an inadvertent injection into a blood vessel, her family has previously said.

Her father, Dulaney Blatz, filed a lawsuit in the Court of King’s Bench on behalf of her estate late last month, naming Ronald David Janz — the dentist who performed the procedure — his dental corporation and the dental corporation that operates the clinic as defendants.

None of the defendants have filed statements of defence in response to the claim, which has not yet been heard in court.

Mayoral candidates Klein, Vogiatzakis continue to snipe over inducement allegations

Chris Kitching and Joyanne Pursaga 6 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 5:50 PM CDT

Winnipeg mayoral candidate Mike Vogiatzakis told reporters Monday he will contact the city clerk to report his allegation that rival Kevin Klein offered him a job to drop out of the race.

Vogiatzakis and Klein both doubled down a day after accusing each other of offering the other a position at city hall, if they were victorious in the Oct. 28 election, in exchange for a withdrawal.

“Do I want to get him charged? Not really. I don’t want to destroy anybody’s life,” Vogiatzakis told reporters.

“Kevin’s a good guy. I thought he was a friend of mine, but he’s not. Kevin uses leverage to get ahead, and he tried to use me as leverage.”
