Today’s must-read
A rift between Premier Wab Kinew and a prominent member of his NDP caucus has appeared before the legislative session has even begun.
After incumbent Fort Garry MLA Mark Wasyliw was overlooked for a cabinet post then snubbed Kinew by not shaking his hand at Monday’s MLA swearing-in ceremony, the criminal defence lawyer said he plans to take on more cases now that he’s not in cabinet and will have more time to devote to his law practice.
That did not sit well with his boss. Carol Sanders has the story.

On the bright side
Hudson Lylyk is a little boy with a big heart. At just five years old, the Winnipeg child took it upon himself to start a fundraising effort in support of Koats for Kids, generating more than $1,800 worth of donations for children in need.
“He’s very kind-hearted and gentle, and he always has been,” said mother Bria Lylyk. “He’s just always thinking of other people.” Tyler Sealer has the story.
