Svard wins Manitoba Open in playoff

History will show Daniel Svard won the 2026 Manitoba Open on the 73rd hole of play, sinking a nervy three-foot par putt in a playoff to claim his first professional victory on Sunday afternoon at Elmhurst.

But it was much earlier in his final round — which started with three bogeys in the first five holes — where the tournament really was won. Or, more precisely, not lost.

“Pretty wild, the range of emotions I went through,” said the 23-year-old PGA Tour Americas rookie from Sweden, who began the day with a two-shot lead but suddenly found himself in chase mode.

“I was feeling really good and really confident and then I had kind of a nightmare start. I actually had to make some big putts to not completely play myself out of it. Everything kind of worked out in the end, but it was a roller-coaster to get there. I’m pretty excited and proud of how I got there to fight back.”

City inundated with thousands of complaints after launch of new transit system

Despite complaints from thousands of dissatisfied users, Winnipeg hasn't hit the brakes on the rollout of its new primary transit network. And it appears that ignoring the public response cost Winnipeg Transit millions of dollars in lost revenue and ridership.

Wooed by wood, Cedarella founder takes pride in handcrafted designs

Marina Bulan is the founder of Cedarella, a two-year-old venture that turns out eye-catching wood products such as jewelry, kitchen decor, children’s toys and, most recently, metre-high outdoor planters that double as home street-number indicators.

Ahead of immigrating to Winnipeg a decade ago from their native Russia, Bulan and her partner thought it would be prudent to conduct some research on their soon-to-be new home, a city they knew next to nothing about.

Imagine their surprise as they were viewing the 2007 surrealist film My Winnipeg, which comically blends historical facts about our burg with what Winnipeg-born writer/director Guy Maddin has termed “mystical hypothesizing.”

(For instance, there is no proof that, as reported in the award-winning flick, Winnipeg is the sleepwalking capital of the world, and that residents keep keys to their former abodes on their person in the event they turn up there during a bout of somnambulism.)

Executive exodus continues at Shared Health with three recent departures

‘We got attacked’: Carney says retaliatory tariffs on U.S. to take effect next month

OTTAWA - Prime Minister Mark Carney says retaliatory tariffs will hit the U.S. starting next month after Canada walked away from what he called a "bad deal."

The U.S. introduced new 50 per cent tariffs on billions of dollars in Canadian exports on Saturday after trade talks failed.

"We got attacked," Carney told reporters on Parliament Hill Saturday when asked about the escalating trade war.

Carney suspended talks with the United States late Friday and summoned his negotiators back to Ottawa.
