3 minute read Wednesday, Sep. 17, 2025Two neighbouring Winnipeg restaurants have landed in the national spotlight just six months after opening.
On Tuesday, Baby Baby (137 Osborne St.) and Shirley’s (135 Osborne St.) were named among 31 finalists in the running for a spot on Air Canada’s 2025 Best New Restaurants list.
For Chris Gama, co-chef and partner at Baby Baby, it’s a meaningful accolade after years of behind-the-scenes labour.
“It’s been a lot of work,” says Gama, who co-owns the restaurant with Raya Konrad, Daly Gyles and Nick Gladu. “We’re really proud of ourselves and we’re really proud of our team… because it takes all of us to build something nice,”

3 minute read Tuesday, Sep. 16, 2025Missed payments by Manitoba small businesses rose nearly 13 per cent earlier this year, new Equifax Canada data show.
The credit bureau counted 2,005 Manitoba businesses that didn’t meet at least one payment deadline between April and June, when looking at financial trade delinquencies. Construction, mining, transportation and wholesale trades were among the categories to see increased delinquency rates.
“Provinces that have been stable in the past are really showing areas where they’re starting to pull apart,” said Jeff Brown, Equifax Canada’s head of commercial solutions.
Manitoba’s financial trades delinquency rate year-over-year change outpaced the national average of 8.67 per cent.

5 minute read Saturday, Sep. 13, 2025Living through the second Trump administration as a Canadian has been likened, by one commentator, to a teenager being kicked out of the house. We must grow up fast and deal with the fact that we can now only rely on ourselves. So, the federal government is moving fast on files related to security, sovereignty and connectivity. The Liberals passed Bill C-5 to expedite projects that will help Canadians live on our own. Wonderful.
But.
In our rush forward, we cannot overlook the power of nation-building research, which must go hand-in-glove with these infrastructure projects. Research and infrastructure are not competing priorities: they are essential partners in nation-building.
Bill C-5, the Building Canada Act, grants the federal government sweeping powers to quickly build large projects that help goods move faster and more easily. This act intends to strengthen our security, autonomy, resilience and advance the interests of Indigenous Peoples. But there can be no nation-building without nation-building research.

3 minute read Friday, Sep. 12, 2025Manitoba homeowners and renters will be the first to benefit from a new federal program to reduce — and for some, eliminate — the cost of energy retrofits.
Federal environment and natural resources ministers Julie Dabrusin and Tim Hodgson joined provincial officials in Winnipeg’s Chalmers neighbourhood Friday to announce $29 million for Efficiency Manitoba under the greener homes affordability program.
“The way we heat, cool and power our homes impacts our environment, our wallets and the comfort of our daily lives,” Hodgson said, adding that 7,000 modest-income households in Manitoba would have access to no-cost energy retrofits.
“That will make their energy bills hundreds of dollars cheaper, their homes more comfortable and their carbon footprint smaller,” he said.
