DAUGHTRY, led by former American Idol contestant Chris Daughtry, will perform at the MTS Centre on May 17, according to Pollstar.com.

Lifehouse and Cayo will open. Ticket information was not immediately available.

Like Clay Aiken and Jennifer Hudson, the North Carolina rocker is one of the more successful losers of the TV talent show. Daughtry, who finished fourth in 2006, and his band have since released two albums —- including Daughtry, which was the first debut disc by a rock band to sell a million copies in only five weeks in the U.S. Their latest, Leave This Town, was released last year. Their second single, Life After You, was co-written by Nickelback’s Chad Kroeger.

Hellebuyck standoff caused by… Nathan MacKinnon?

Looking for someone to blame in the Connor Hellebuyck fiasco and cast as public enemy No. 1? How about long-time Winnipeg Jets nemesis Nathan MacKinnon?

Allow us to explain as we fire up the time machine and head back to February in Italy.

Oh, what could have been if MacKinnon had been able to score on what appeared to be an open net late in the third period of the men’s gold medal game with Hellebuyck down and seemingly out of position.

Instead, the star forward fired wide, keeping the score deadlocked at 1-1 as the clock ticked down on regulation.

Kinew has crucial role to play helping Carney get the ball rolling on resource projects

Niigaan Sinclair 4 minute read 6:29 PM CDT

Manitoba premier Wab Kinew attended the inaugural Canada Investment Summit in Toronto this past week to pitch his government’s plan for a $80-billion expansion of the Port of Churchill to more than 100 of the world’s largest companies and investment firms.

Kinew’s proposal is one of 167 projects highlighted at the summit by Prime Minister Mark Carney, appearing alongside a high-speed rail line connecting Edmonton and Calgary, a floating liquefied natural gas terminal on the B.C. coast and numerous pipeline, mineral, manufacturing and digital technology projects.

The Port of Churchill project got special attention, however. Kinew took centre stage to offer opportunities for investors to support year-round shipping, LNG facilities and a new energy corridor.

The premier also sweetened the pot for investors, announcing a provincial sales tax exemption for capital spending on the project.

‘Parental rights’ issue resurfaces

Maggie Macintosh 4 minute read Yesterday at 2:00 AM CDT

Trustee campaign material that condemns rainbow flags is being met with outrage of all kinds, written complaints and, in one case, a cease-and-desist order.

“Parental rights,” including questions about classroom diversity, equity and inclusion policies, are resurfacing heading into school board elections across Manitoba.

“People are trying to advance their politics and their issues while simultaneously calling teachers ideologues and brainwashers,” said Shannon Moore, an associate professor at the University of Manitoba who studies sexual health education. “And I find that rich.”

Moore said parents have a right to choose independent school or homeschool, but they do not have a right to dictate curriculum that is currently developed using research and mainstream morals.

Let’s start off this week’s edition with the Week 21 matchup between the Montreal Roses and AFC Toronto that had already taken place before last week’s column was written.

It was, arguably, the heavyweight matchup of that week, with the Roses attempting to place a three-game buffer between itself and the surging Mighty Maroons while Toronto was trying to gain some breathing room between itself and the Ottawa Rapid.

Instead? A 2-2 draw thwarted any progress from either team.

Making way for the Rapid to leapfrog back into second place over Toronto… right? Well, buckle up for the riveting answer to that question and the jostling for fourth place in this column’s latest edition.

Jim Kyte defied the odds to have the hockey career that he did.

The hard-nosed defenceman from Ottawa made history by becoming the first legally deaf NHL player when the Winnipeg Jets drafted him 12th overall in 1982.

“Right now, I’m the only one in history to play in the NHL, but I’d like to be able to say I am the first player — which would imply that there would be a second player, and hopefully a third, fourth, fifth,” Kyte recently told the Free Press.

Between 1982 and 1996, he suited up in 598 career NHL games, including 399 as a member of the 1.0 Jets.

Province applauds apprenticeship numbers

Gabrielle Piché 4 minute read 7:24 PM CDT

Apprentice use at build sites of the Victoria General Hospital emergency room and four new schools has doubled expectations, the Manitoba government reported on Friday.

The construction projects are subject to Manitoba Jobs Agreements, a controversial policy the New Democrats unveiled last year.

Through the contracts, at least 10 per cent of construction hours must be worked by apprentices. So far, apprentices have covered 21 per cent of hours, Public Service Delivery Minister Mintu Sandhu said.

Work on the schools and Winnipeg emergency room — the first Manitoba Jobs Agreement projects — began this year. The overall number of hours worked wasn’t available by end of day Friday.
