5 minute read Tuesday, Sep. 9, 2025Churchill has always been a place of connection and of change. However, last week’s remarks from Prime Minister Mark Carney that Churchill could become a year-round export terminal for liquefied natural gas (LNG) suggest a risky vision for the future that could imperil the balance and diversity that has allowed this unusual community on Hudson Bay to endure.
At its founding, Churchill connected Inuit, Dene and Cree communities with the Hudson Bay Company’s vast trading network. In the waning days of the fur trade, Churchill re-emerged as an important cold war base, housing thousands of troops.
When North America’s defence needs changed, Churchill again reinvented itself as a research hub for aerospace and a broad array of scientific enquiry. Through the second half of the 20th century, Churchill also became a critical social service centre for much of Hudson Bay and the central Arctic. Now it has emerged as one of Canada’s great ecotourism destinations. Few places better capture the adaptability and resilience of the North.
The prime minister and Premier Wab Kinew have both described Churchill LNG exports as a “nation-building” project. Investment in the transportation corridor that connects the Arctic to southern Canada through the port and railroad is indeed overdue. The Port of Churchill is a national asset with enormous potential and diverse strengths.
Clean air as privilege
4 minute read Saturday, Sep. 6, 2025For elders with dementia, youth with anxiety, or evacuees coping with displacement, smoke is not just a public health irritant. It’s an accelerant for mental health issues.
You can’t put an N95 on your brain. You can’t tell your nervous system to calm down when the air outside looks like dusk at noon.
For older adults, people with asthma, families on fixed incomes, or those living in crowded apartments or trailers, wildfire season in Manitoba is more than just a nuisance. It’s a trigger. Of breathlessness. Of panic. Of helplessness.
And every year, the advice is the same:

2 minute read Sunday, Sep. 21, 2025MONACO (AP) — The final of the men’s Champions League is moving forward three hours to a 6 p.m. kickoff in central Europe, UEFA said on Thursday.
Better for families and children to attend and watch on television, use public transport after the game, and for fans to party post-match in host cities, the European soccer body said.
The earlier start will be used at the next final on Saturday, May 30 at Puskas Arena in Budapest, Hungary. The final has been played on Saturdays since 2010.
The 9 p.m. kickoff in recent years meant a game that went to extra time and a penalty shootout would finish barely before midnight local time.
