Klein has burned bridges with PM, Gillingham says

Elmwood–East Kildonan candidate promises to tackle ‘inefficiency’ in government

The former assistant of late Elmwood–East Kildonan councillor Jason Schreyer is again running for the seat.

Chris Sweryda officially launched his campaign Saturday. He did so with the backdrop of a grocery program he runs, where food is sold near-cost out of St. Gerard School’s gym.

Rows of cereal, pasta sauce and chips filled tables ahead of the program’s afternoon opening. Sweryda created the pop-up with Schreyer months ahead of the former councillor’s April 2025 death.

The program sees roughly 500 people each day it’s open (which is every other week on Saturday), Sweryda said.

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

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.

Environment Canada says high winds and heavy rain in store for Atlantic Canada

HALIFAX - Parts of Atlantic Canada are in for some wet, windy — and in some cases snowy — weather today. 

Environment Canada has issued weather warnings for much of the south coast of Newfoundland where as much as 100 millimetres of rain — and winds of up to 100 kilometres per hour — are expected this evening and overnight. 

Up to 20 centimetres of snow is forecast for parts of Labrador, changing to ice pellets and freezing rain as temperatures rise Tuesday. 

Storm warnings are in place for much of New Brunswick, where the strongest winds and up to 60 mm of rain are expected along the Fundy coast.
