*Notes on data: The figures are compiled by the COVID-19 Open Data Working Group based on the latest publicly available data and are subject to change. Note that some provinces report weekly, while others report same-day or figures from the previous day. Vaccine doses administered is not equivalent to the number of people inoculated as the approved vaccines require two doses per person. The vaccines are currently not being administered to children under 18 and those with certain health conditions. In some cases the number of doses administered may appear to exceed the number of doses distributed as some provinces have been drawing extra doses per vial.

Manitoba Premier Kinew ‘willing to entertain’ Alberta to Ontario pipeline

The Canadian Press 3 minute read Updated: 10:44 AM CDT

CHARLOTTETOWN - Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew said Wednesday he's open to a west-east pipeline being pitched by his counterparts in Alberta and Ontario.

Kinew, speaking to reporters at a meeting of premiers in Charlottetown, said the pipeline could make Canada stronger and that there are workers in his province who would be eager to help build it.

"I love Alberta, I love Albertans, so (I'm) willing to entertain the idea," he said.

The pipeline proposal was announced earlier this month by Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Ontario Premier Doug Ford.

Photos reveal ‘pretty nasty’ scene inside flooded Dauphin hospital

Morgan Modjeski 5 minute read 6:33 PM CDT

Prairie Mountain has released 22 photos depicting the muddy mess in the Dauphin hospital left by floodwater last month that has shut down the regional facility for as long as a year.

Dauphin Mayor David Bosiak said he understands the photos were released in response to criticism from some who wonder why the hospital will be closed for as long as a year.

“(The public) needed to see the scale and the scope of the damage,” he said. “And the pictures that PMH released today, I think have really opened people’s eyes as to what’s gone on at the hospital.”

He said 80 people are working to clean the filthy facility in conditions that are “less than ideal.” Sections of the hospital still have no power and there’s no air circulation as a result.

Bell under fire after 911 outage

Chris Kitching 7 minute read Updated: 6:06 PM CDT

Bell Canada — Manitoba’s 911 service provider — is facing questions about reliability and redundancy measures after an hours-long outage outside Winnipeg, caused by a severed fibre optic cable, prevented dozens of calls from getting through Wednesday.

Bell spokeswoman Elise von Scheel said backup systems that reroute 911 calls when an outage occurs due to equipment damage also experienced “issues” after a third party cut the cable during construction “near Winnipeg.”

“Manitoba’s 911 system relies on legacy architecture that does not support the failsafes that newer systems have, which is why Bell is in the process of upgrading the ecosystem to next generation 911,” von Scheel wrote in an email.

“All Manitoba public safety answering points are planned to be migrated to the new system by the end of 2026. Migration to NG911 is the fastest and most effective remediation to prevent instances like this in the future.”
