LONGUEUIL, Que. – Héroux-Devtek Inc. says it has entered into an agreement with aircraft manufacturer Lockheed Martin to develop landing gear for its next generation of defence aircraft.

The contract will focus on the development of a completely new generation of landing gear, which the Quebec-based company says recognizes the expertise of its engineering and manufacturing teams.

The world’s third-largest landing gear manufacturer has had a relationship with the U.S. defence company since the 1990s.

It has manufactured landing gear for C-130 cargo aircraft, and designed and built landing gear for the CH-53K helicopter and flight opening door uplock system for the F-35 multi-role aircraft.

No financial details were provided.

Héroux-Devtek supplies landing gear for commercial and defence aircraft, with about 90 per cent of sales coming from outside Canada, including 53 per cent in the United States.

“Winning this very promising contract will help strengthen our business relationship with this important client and bring about new opportunities,” stated CEO Martin Brassard.

Carney warns of tough times ahead in national address as retaliatory tariffs begin

Nick Murray, The Canadian Press 5 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 4:10 PM CDT

OTTAWA - Canada's pivot away from the United States will "come at a cost" but the alternative would be far worse, Prime Minister Mark Carney said Tuesday.

Carney made the remarks in a video released just hours after his government made good on a promise to implement retaliatory tariffs on the United States. Those tariffs respond to American duties imposed last month by U.S. President Donald Trump, after the two countries could not come to an agreement to settle some outstanding trade irritants.

Carney spent much of the video laying out Canada's response to Trump's protectionist trade policies, including expanding trade with other countries and building more capacity domestically.

But he said it "won't be easy."

Why our democracy depends on your vote

Erna Buffie 5 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

Some years ago, I did some pretty in-depth research on ancient Athens and its democratic system of government as part of a documentary film I was pitching. It was actually a lot of fun, because I was looking at ways their democratic beliefs and practices were both similar to and different from ours.

Some of the differences were quite striking, such as the fact that only Athenian-born males 18 years of age and over could participate. Or the fact their executive branch was selected by a totally random lottery system — a system one expert described as akin to picking names out of a phone book.

Then there was the practice of ostracism, a procedure I found particularly attractive. Essentially, every year the citizens of Athens chose a political figure who was becoming too powerful or pushing for a more authoritarian regime and voted to banish him from the city for 10 years.

Needless to say, I can think of quite a few politicians I’d like to see subjected to that procedure.

Two years after 74-year-old James Monaghan was stabbed in his Sherburn Street home, DNA found on a beer can led police to his killer.

Shara Harper, 29, pleaded guilty to manslaughter and on Tuesday was sentenced to six years in prison.

A neighbour found Monaghan dead in his home on July 29, 2022. He had been stabbed twice in the chest and back.

The investigation into Monaghan’s killing had stalled until June 2024, when DNA found on an empty beer can in Monaghan’s home was confirmed to be a match for Harper.

Senior assaulted at bus stop

An 18-year-old man has been charged after a 67-year-old woman was randomly attacked at a bus stop on Portage Avenue last month.

The senior was sitting on a bench at a bus stop at Portage and Craig Street on Aug. 10 when a man lay down beside her, the Winnipeg Police Service said in a news release Tuesday.

The woman was “minding her own business” when the man began to kick and punch her, police said. The suspect followed her onto a city bus, but was kicked off shortly after for causing a disturbance.

The victim sustained injuries to her upper body but did not require medical attention.

Weekender festivities to take over downtown

Sheldon Birnie 3 minute read 6:00 AM CDT

Come one, come all, to Graham Avenue this weekend.

Organizers of the Weekender hope to welcome thousands of Winnipeggers to the streets and parking lots in and around the Graham Avenue pedestrian mall in what they are billing as “Downtown’s Biggest Street Party.”

Starting Friday evening and running through Sunday, the free festival boasts a plethora of ways by which visitors can enjoy themselves. From food trucks to markets, games to live music, classic cars and free bike repairs, the festival aims to provide a little something for everyone.

“The Weekender is truly about bringing people together, to have fun, to experience all that downtown has to offer,” says Olivia Billson, director of communications and public relations for Downtown Winnipeg BIZ, which is putting on the festival in conjunction with Smith Events and Arch Events.
