The Eagles will be landing at the Stadium this summer.

The reunited California country-rockers — Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmit — will play Canad Inns Stadium on June 22 with the Dixie Chicks as part of a newly announced eight-show stadium tour stretching from Winnipeg to New Jersey.

Australian country star Keith Urban is on the American dates, but not part of the Winnipeg or Toronto shows.

Tickets for the Winnipeg show go on sale Monday, March 29, but prices weren’t immediately released. When the Eagles played the

MTS Centre on March 13, 2009 tickets ranged from $96 to $239.

The Grammy-winning band was a fixture on the charts in the 1970s with five No. 1 singles, 14 top 40 hits and four No. 1 albums. Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975) is one of the 10 best-selling records of all time, with sales of more than 40 million.

The Eagles split up in 1980 but reunited in 1994 for a lucrative comeback tour. They released a new album, Long Road Out of Eden, in 2007.

The upcoming tour will be the first for the Dixie Chicks in four years. According to the band’s official website, the group – Martie Maguire, Emily Robison and Natalie Maines — will perform material from all four of their albums.

The country trio, who have won 13 Grammys over the years, released their last album, Taking the Long Way, in 2006.

A quick look at where provinces and territories stand on time changes

The Canadian Press 2 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 6:28 AM CDT

WINNIPEG - Manitoba's government said Thursday the province will be sticking with daylight time year-round, making it the latest jurisdiction to move away from twice-annual time changes. Here's a look at where things stand across Canada:

British Columbia said in March that it was moving to permanent Pacific daylight time. The change also means that parts of northeastern B.C., which have been on mountain standard time year round, are now in alignment with the rest of the province.

Alberta also switched to permanent daylight time this year in what it calls Alberta time. The change means it now has the same time as Saskatchewan year round.

Saskatchewan has been on permanent central standard time since 1966.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FILES President Donald Trump (left) shares a moment with Prime Minister Mark Carney last year. Even if Canada expands its trade with other countries — which it must do — the United States will almost certainly remain Canada’s most important trading partner.

Canada-U.S. trade relationship is broken, but the damage can — and will — be repaired

Tom Brodbeck 5 minute read Thursday, Sep. 17, 2026

Canada needs to get serious about diversifying its trade beyond the United States. But at the same time, Canadians should expect relations with the U.S. to normalize after Donald Trump is no longer in the White House.

For generations, Canada-U.S. trade was considered almost a fact of geography. The two countries share the world’s longest undefended border, deeply integrated supply chains and a century of commercial relationships.

Canadian manufacturers depend on American customers. American manufacturers depend on Canadian suppliers. Energy, agriculture, automotive production and countless other industries operate across the border as though it barely exists.

That isn’t going to change dramatically, even in the midst of a bitter trade war unleashed by the U.S. president.

Klein launches mayoral campaign with pledge to make Winnipeg safest city in Canada

Joyanne Pursaga 5 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 7:48 PM CDT

Mayoral candidate Kevin Klein says he would make Winnipeg the safest city in Canada by the end of his four-year term, if elected.

“Crime is happening all over the city and we have to take steps to address it,” Klein said at his first campaign announcement Friday morning.

The candidate said crime is “getting out of control,” noting his grandchild’s car seat was recently stolen from a vehicle parked in a typically quiet neighbourhood.

He promised to hire 100 to 110 more police officers, which he believes would cost between $9 million and $11 million.

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

Niigaan Sinclair 4 minute read Yesterday at 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.

His current fight is pressuring government for equitable funding of deaf athletes.

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.

His blissful kiss is well worth the risk

Maureen Scurfield 4 minute read Yesterday at 2:00 AM CDT

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: The best kisser I ever met knocked me off balance. My little joke was, “That’s why we have to go home now and lie down in a hurry!” We’ve been seeing each other for almost six months. This man can convince me to do almost anything — so much fun!

But, now he’s been transferred out of province for bigger money at a new company.

He’s leaving soon and he could have asked me to move with him, as his trucking partner, but he didn’t! Other women will soon have their hands on him, believe me!

I’m already 27 and I don’t want to date any more guys — just him. Now what can I do? I feel sadder every day.
