CANADIAN actor-writer-producer and all-around funnyman Seth Rogen married his longtime girlfriend, writer-director Lauren Miller over the weekend

According to US Weekly, the three-day event took place at the Kunde Estate in Sonoma, Calif., culminating on Saturday “atop a hill surrounded by vineyards.”

Officiated by a female rabbi, the couple exchanged their vows in front of a Who’s Who of modern comedy including: Jonah Hill, Adam Sandler, Paul Rudd and, of course, director-producer Judd Apatow and wife Leslie Mann.

“The wedding was more laughs than anything else,” a source told the website. “Every other line was a joke and the crowd couldn’t contain their laughter. It was non-stop fun!”

The picturesque ceremony is in contrast to the couple’s rather awkward engagement story. As he told Conan O’Brien in November 2010, the 29-year-old star let nerves spoil his engagement to Miller, 30, whom he met while working as a staff writer for Da Ali G Show. “(After buying the engagement ring) I felt like someone had given me like a truckload of heroin to hold onto. I felt like the feds were going to kick in my door at any second,” he told the O’Brien. “I couldn’t have a conversation with my girlfriend. All I could think of was this ring.”

To get it off his chest, he proposed on the spot, even though Miller was changing in the closet at the time. “I didn’t picture it like this, and I know she didn’t picture it like this,” he said. “No little girl is like ‘It’ll happen in a closet with my (boobs) out.'”

The Vancouver native has starred in the films Knocked Up, Pineapple Express, Funny People and The Green Hornet. His latest movie, 50/50, opened Friday.

‘Huge resource gaps’: judge shortage leads to circuit court cuts

Dean Pritchard 4 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 6:33 PM CDT

A shortage of judges is forcing Manitoba’s provincial court to slash sittings across the province.

The court announced in a notice to the profession Wednesday that it will be reducing the number of annual court sittings at nine rural circuit locations and St. Boniface provincial court in Winnipeg by 68 sittings, effective April 1, 2027.

The reductions are necessary to balance “access to justice needs with the complement of judicial resources currently insufficient to maintain the current court schedule,” said the notice, signed by provincial court Chief Judge Ryan Rolston.

Affected circuit courts include Altona, Arborg, Beausejour, Easterville, Cranberry Portage, Lundar, Grand Rapids, Moose Lake, and Pine Falls.

Weekender festivities to take over downtown

Sheldon Birnie 3 minute read Yesterday at 6:00 AM CDT

Come one, come all, to Graham Avenue this weekend.

Organizers of the Weekender hope to welcome thousands of Winnipeggers to the streets and parking lots in and around the Graham Avenue pedestrian mall in what they are billing as “Downtown’s Biggest Street Party.”

Starting Friday evening and running through Sunday, the free festival boasts a plethora of ways by which visitors can enjoy themselves. From food trucks to markets, games to live music, classic cars and free bike repairs, the festival aims to provide a little something for everyone.

“The Weekender is truly about bringing people together, to have fun, to experience all that downtown has to offer,” says Olivia Billson, director of communications and public relations for Downtown Winnipeg BIZ, which is putting on the festival in conjunction with Smith Events and Arch Events.

Cultivating compassion in young people

Jordan Laidlaw 5 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

We live in the unenviable era of rising American imperialism and the emergence of a precarious new world order.

As U.S. President Donald Trump escalates his annexation threats over Canada, Greenland and Venezuela; deteriorates decades-long relations with NATO; and offers concessions to totalitarian North Korea; we must remain steadfast and vigilantly united against these ominous — and markedly unusual — sociopolitical developments.

We have so much to learn from our past. As historical patterns suggest, these threats are not idle nor mere political rhetoric. Rather, these threats should be treated with utmost seriousness. As Winston Churchill so famously uttered, “Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”

As a Canadian public educator, I hold the vehement conviction that we need to instruct our youth on the societal dangers of imperialism, while simultaneously exploring the “contentious” concepts of sharing and acceptance.

Ditch Dynacare now

Re: Labour board ruling halts Dynacare strike (Sept. 9)

It is upsetting — no, infuriating — that Manitoba and other provinces (e.g., Ontario) are using Dynacare for their medical laboratory services. Dynacare is owned by a huge American corporation, Labcorp, located in North Carolina.

Doing a deep dive (via Google) into Labcorp and Dynacare’s finances is revealing. Labcorp does not separately report its Dynacare profits. But you can be sure that hundreds of millions of dollars are draining south. An important question to ask is how much of Canada’s publicly funded health-care money is ending up as profit for a U.S. owned corporation? And why is this not being investigated and reported? This is unacceptable.

‘Dynacare sucks’: premier muses about bringing lab services back into public system

Carol Sanders 5 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 7:45 PM CDT

Premier Wab Kinew says Manitoba may bring Dynacare’s diagnostic lab services back into the public system rather than continue to sign contracts with the for-profit company.

“Dynacare sucks. They’ve made an absolute mess of this situation,” the premier said Wednesday, the day the company’s 350 employees reported back to work after the labour board halted their strike after just one day.

Kinew first made the remark about Dynacare in a CBC radio interview Wednesday morning and added he is “not happy with them.”

Dynacare performs the majority of non-emergency blood and urine tests in the province.
