VANCOUVER – Telus Corp.’s global IT and customer services arm says it’s investigating a breach of its systems.

The company says the cyberattack involved unauthorized access to a “limited number” of Telus Digital’s systems, and that it has taken immediate steps to prevent further intrusion.

Spokesman Richard Gilhooley says Telus Digital’s operations remain fully operational and there is no evidence of disruption to customer connectivity or services.

He says the company will notify any customers who may have been affected as the investigation progresses.

The company says cyber forensics experts are supporting the investigation and it is also working with law enforcement.

Last September, Telus signed a deal to acquire the shares of Telus Digital it did not already own for a total of US$539 million, reversing its move to spin off the business in 2021.

Councillor facing sex charges running for re-election

Morgan Modjeski 2 minute read Yesterday at 7:47 PM CDT

A Winnipeg city councillor who faces sexual assault charges says he is running for re-election.

A day before Tuesday’s deadline, Russ Wyatt registered to run in the Transcona ward where he has served five terms and to which he was first elected in 2002.

“After much reflection, I have decided to stand for re-election in the Winnipeg municipal election,” Wyatt said in a statement Monday.

“Time and time again, I have stood up to the powers that be, and they would love to get rid of me. But I see the mess this city is in today, with the disastrous new bus routes, ever rising water bills, developer largesse, and poverty in our streets,” he said.

Jets up against the clock

Mike McIntyre 8 minute read Sunday, Sep. 20, 2026

Time has often been on the side of the Winnipeg Jets, with Cole Perfetti’s famous “Manitoba Miracle” buzzer-beater serving as Exhibit A.

But that won’t necessarily be the case this coming season, when the clock threatens to become a stubborn and, at times, confusing opponent.

Premier Wab Kinew’s decision to adopt permanent daylight time will have a significant impact on the hockey club, both as hosts and visitors, head coach Scott Arniel told the Free Press on Sunday.

Athletes are creatures of habit, and their regular routines are going to be challenged during the period from Nov. 1 to March 14, which covers the majority of the 84-game campaign.

Break spell before it hexes your marriage

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I have an itch that needs to be scratched every couple of days. I sneak home with a new young woman from my workplace, who is a witch, and spend an hour or more with her, learning some things my wife doesn’t know anything about. It’s not really sexual with this new person yet, but I’m feeling intrigued by her witchy-ness — and more.

I’m fascinated and want to learn whatever she’s willing to teach me as we go along. This is especially cool now my “magic woman” has told me she’s interested by the darkness in me. Whatever that means. Nobody’s ever noticed that before.

I feel my wife really doesn’t need to know I’m into this stuff. It would only hurt her, and it may lead to nothing. But how do you keep a secret from your partner for any length of time when they know your every mood and can almost smell your secrets?
