Bombers bring A-game in avenging Labour Day loss

Taylor Allen 7 minute read Yesterday at 7:11 PM CDT

This season hasn’t been overly pretty at times for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

But if they’ve proven anything over their last four games, including Saturday’s 19-6 Banjo Bowl victory over the Saskatchewan Roughriders, it’s that they’re capable of beating the CFL’s best when they come to play.

“The sky’s the limit for this team. We can hang with anyone, and we know that,” said receiver Tommy Nield. “It’s just a matter of being consistent and playing team football.”

The Bombers, now 7-6, avenged their Labour Day Classic loss and won the season series with the Riders (8-5) thanks to point differential in their head-to-head meetings.

George Chuvalo, a hard-nosed heavyweight who never hit the canvas despite taking on the world's best boxers, has died.

Sully's Boxing Gym in Toronto, where Chuvalo trained during his career, confirmed his death in a social media post Saturday. The gym said Chuvalo died on his 89th birthday.

"Today, Sully's lost a piece of its history," the gym said.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford also paid tribute to Chuvalo, calling him "a heavyweight boxing legend, a family friend and a Canadian icon."

Canadians loving Carney’s decision to stand tall against floundering U.S. bully

Tom Brodbeck 4 minute read Friday, Sep. 11, 2026

It’s hard to imagine a more dramatic political contrast than the one unfolding on opposite sides of the Canada-U.S. border.

Mark Carney is fighting a trade war with Donald Trump, taking the occasional verbal punch from the American president and imposing retaliatory tariffs on U.S. products.

And the prime minister is being rewarded for it politically.

Trump, meanwhile, is fighting pretty much everyone he can find — including some of America’s closest allies — and his own voters are increasingly giving him the political equivalent of a raised middle finger. That’s quite a tale of two leaders.

Downtown no place to be after dark, huge majority of Winnipeggers say in survey

Joyanne Pursaga 8 minute read Friday, Sep. 11, 2026

Most Winnipeggers are afraid to walk alone downtown and believe the city needs more police officers, a new survey finds.

Winnipeg Police Service released its 2026 citizen survey Friday.

Downtown safety appears to remain a major concern, with just 44 per cent saying they feel very or reasonably safe walking alone in the area during the day. The number plummets to eight per cent overall at night, down from nine per cent in 2024, the last time the survey was conducted.

This year, 14 per cent of men felt very or reasonably safe walking alone downtown at night, compared to just three per cent of women.

Port of Churchill expansion could chase belugas away, U of M researcher says

Nicole Buffie 4 minute read Yesterday at 9:07 AM CDT

As plans to expand the Port of Churchill into a four-season trade corridor gathers momentum, a University of Manitoba researcher has published a report on what ship traffic could mean for the beluga whales that gather in the Churchill River estuary each summer.

Veronica Coppolaro said more vessels in the waterways bring a risk that belugas will stop using the estuary for migration, which would impact the ecological landscape, tourism and communities that rely on the animals for food and cultural purposes.

“There are studies showing that (noises) change the way they swim, they change the way (the whales) are vocalizing, they change their main activity, and so this (expansion) can have consequences at different levels,” she said.

The Churchill river estuary is a marine habitat where the Churchill River empties into Hudson Bay. During the summer months belugas gather in the area to feed and give birth.
