Manitoba Premier Kinew ‘willing to entertain’ Alberta to Ontario pipeline

The Canadian Press 3 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 4:13 PM CDT

CHARLOTTETOWN - Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew said Wednesday he's open to a west-east pipeline being pitched by his counterparts in Alberta and Ontario.

Kinew, speaking to reporters at a meeting of premiers in Charlottetown, said the pipeline could make Canada stronger and that there are workers in his province who would be eager to help build it.

"I love Alberta, I love Albertans, so (I'm) willing to entertain the idea," he said.

The pipeline proposal was announced earlier this month by Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Ontario Premier Doug Ford.

Body of younger brother found in Nutimik Lake on fifth day of search

Morgan Modjeski and Nicole Buffie 3 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 9:29 PM CDT

THE body of a 10-year-old boy — one of two brothers presumed drowned — has been recovered from Nutimik Lake.

Maximo Au Ramirez and his older brother Aaron Au Ramirez, 13, were visiting Whiteshell Provincial Park Saturday with their father when Maximo slipped off rocks and fell into the water. Aaron went in to try to save him.

On Wednesday evening, a social media post from the Nutimik Lake Lodge, which has been serving as a hub for many searchers and volunteers, posted a notice that said the 10-year-old’s body had been recovered.

“We will continue to search for his brother Aaron Au Ramirez,” said the post. “Please pray he will show himself soon.”

Health care and economic growth

PLEASE do not ask how my algorithm delivered this news.

Still, apparently, embalmers are finding that “tough, white, rubbery, fibrous masses resembling strips of calamari … are turning up in body after body across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand.”

According to this news source, these fibrous entities emerged after the COVID pandemic and subsequent vaccine rollout.

Citing research published in the International Journal of Innovative Research in Medical Science by a retired U.S. Army officer, the news presenter weaves a horror story of an unsuspecting public being duped into accepting harmful vaccines. The YouTube video I viewed is just one example of the anti-vaccination lobby’s toolkit.

Best to steer clear if ex is still life of the party

Maureen Scurfield 4 minute read Yesterday at 2:01 AM CDT

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I spotted an old girlfriend at the beach recently, and what a jolt. She was tanned and gorgeous. She had a pink towel wrapped around her lower half and it reminded me of when she would walk towards me with a sexy look on her face after a shower. She always knew what she was doing and how it affected me.

We didn’t end up chatting at the beach, but to my surprise she called me later that day, asking to take me out to dinner. What should I do? We were a great pair, except for her excessive partying and drinking. I didn’t ask her if she’s being a good girl now. Please advise.

— Curiosity Aroused, West Kildonan

Dear Curious: The more mature version of this ex might be interesting for you — if she has actually graduated from her bad old days of partying. You’ll probably know after a dinner out with her, especially if you have a couple of cocktails.

Man accused of impaired driving nabbed for speeding near park

2 minute read Yesterday at 2:01 AM CDT

BRANDON — A 22-year-old man is facing several charges, including impaired driving, after he was arrested last week for going 100 kilometres per hour near a park.

On July 16 around 4:30 p.m., Ste. Rose du Lac RCMP officers saw a truck that appeared to be travelling 100 km/h in a 40 km/h zone near a park in Ebb and Flow First Nation.

The truck was seen near the intersection of Lake Road Northeast and Northwest Road, RCMP said Tuesday.

Police realized the truck matched a description of a vehicle that had fled from officers multiple times earlier in the week, the release said.
