The modernization of the Senate

Paul G. Thomas 5 minute read Saturday, Apr. 5, 2025

Senate reform and ongoing modernization of its operations will not be a prominent issue in the current election. However, the outcome of the election will have significant consequences for the role of the Senate in the national policy process and for the dynamics of its internal decision-making.

Sirop d’érable, le trésor de Saint-Pierre-Jolys

Lucille Dourlens 5 minute read Saturday, Apr. 5, 2025

L’incontournable Festival du Temps des sucres se prépare à revenir au village de Saint-Pierre-Jolys les 5 et 6 avril. Prenant place dans la Cabane à sucre, une extension du musée, les visiteurs pourront festoyer et célébrer ce fameux sirop local aux teintes ambrées.

Le temps se fait plus doux dans le village de Saint-Pierre-Jolys où les récoltes de sirop d’érable ont doucement commencé depuis la semaine du 17 mars.

En effet, des gelées la nuit combinées à des températures plus élevées le jour créent les conditions propices à la saison des récoltes. Ce type de météo permet d’exercer une pression à l’intérieur de l’arbre favorisant ensuite l’écoulement de “l’eau sucrée” comme aime l’appeler Roland Gagné, le gérant de la Cabane à sucre du village.

“Grâce à Mère Nature, l’eau remonte des racines jusqu’en haut de l’arbre. Ça permet de nettoyer les veines de l’érable et ensuite le liquide s’écoule.”

Impro: Une finale époustouflante

Lucille Dourlens 5 minute read Saturday, Mar. 29, 2025

La finale de la Ligue d’improvisation du secondaire tellement époustouflante (LISTE) de la Division scolaire franco-manitobaine s’est déroulée dans une ambiance festive le 18 mars dernier. Une soirée qui a vu l’équipe La verdure violente du Collège Louis-Riel l’emporter au bout de deux heures de match.

Comme à l’accoutumée, la compétition s’est tenue dans la bonne humeur au Centre culturel franco-manitobain (CCFM), dans la salle Pauline-Boutal.

Les gradins étaient remplis de parents, frères, sœurs et amis venus soutenir leurs participants favoris.

L’équipe Citrus improbus (maillot rouge) du Centre scolaire Léo-Rémillard entraînée par Roger Durand a affronté l’équipe La verdure violente (maillot vert) du Collège Louis-Riel, entraînée par Carine Roy. À l’issue de la soirée, l’équipe Piste de chameau, de l’école Pointe-des-Chênes, s’est aussi vu remettre le prix spécial époustouflant qui récompense leur esprit sportif.

Red River course focuses on Indigenous cooking techniques, ingredients

Eva Wasney 5 minute read Wednesday, Mar. 26, 2025

With the lunch rush over, the kitchen takes a collective sigh of relief. Jokes are cracked while the flattop is scraped clean and smiles float around the room as prep stations are tidied for the next day’s service.

Gabriel Nanacowop, who had some nerves about overseeing Wiisinin Diner as chef-of-the-day, is feeling particularly satisfied.

“It was good, fast-paced,” says Nanacowop, one of 11 students enrolled in Red River College Polytechnic’s Indigenous Culinary Skills program.

Red River has been offering the yearlong certificate program for nearly a decade. In it, Indigenous students are given a crash course on food preparation, kitchen safety and business basics, with a focus on cultural ingredients and cooking techniques.

Winnipeg TV content delivery firm Taiv acquires potential Ontario rival Local Reach

Aaron Epp 4 minute read Tuesday, Mar. 25, 2025

A Winnipeg advertising technology company is one step closer to launching its product in Canada after acquiring a startup based in Kingston, Ont.

Taiv Inc. purchased Local Reach in a deal that closed last month. The terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Local Reach co-founders Evan Ferreira and Joseph Liao, who created the startup while studying at Queen’s University in Kingston, will move to Winnipeg and join Taiv’s staff. Taiv acquired some of the startup’s tech as part of the cash-and-stock transaction.

It’s Taiv’s first acquisition and a big milestone for the six-year-old company, according to co-founder and CEO Noah Palansky.

At the start of Premier Wab Kinew’s government’s mandate, it signalled it would work to get Manitoba to a net-zero electricity grid by 2035. With 99 per cent of the province’s electricity already emissions-free, it is a small, but important gap to bridge.

Une technologie de pointe au Manitoba

Hugo Beaucamp 5 minute read Saturday, Mar. 22, 2025

À Saint-Eustache, la compagnie Tritec Concrete se lance dans la commercialisation d’une technologie d’élimination des déchets organiques aux nombreux avantages.

Sur le terrain de la compagnie Tritec Concrete, aux abords de Saint-Eustache à l’ouest de Winnipeg, une machine d’une dizaine de mètres de haut se dresse à l’extérieur, derrière les hangars.

Il s’agit d’un prototype de Rapid Organic Converter (ROC). Celui-ci fonctionne en continu depuis 2016 et a vu le jour sous l’impulsion de Jamie Dufresne, propriétaire de Tritec Concrete, qui a travaillé pendant une bonne partie de sa carrière dans la recherche et le développement.

“Je cherchais un moyen de récupérer les déchets agricoles, que nous brûlions à l’époque, et de trouver un moyen de le granuler ou l’ensacher. Le système actuel consomme tout ce qui est organique.”

La galerie d’art du Centre culturel franco-manitobain accueille une nouvelle exposition consacrée à la céramique mystérieusement intitulée Rester sur sa faim. L’artiste Solange Roy y présente des créations gourmandes dès le 20 mars.

À seulement 24 ans, la jeune artiste originaire de Winnipeg expose pour la première fois en solo son travail autour de la céramique.

Et pour ce faire, la nouvelle exposition de la galerie d’art du CCFM prend le nom intriguant suivant Rester sur sa faim… Ici Solange Roy y explore sa relation avec la nourriture, un sujet qui la touche personnellement.

“Cette exposition représente ma relation compliquée avec la nourriture. Cela me touche car ce n’est jamais une relation parfaite, particulièrement pour les femmes j’ai l’impression,” explique-t-elle à propos d’un trouble de l’alimentation développé pendant son enfance.

Conservative MPs beat Liberals, NDP on online engagement, study finds

Anja Karadeglija, The Canadian Press 3 minute read Thursday, Dec. 4, 2025

OTTAWA - A new study from McGill University says Conservative MPs far outpace their Liberal and NDP counterparts in online engagement, partly due to the their voices being amplified on X.

The report from McGill’s Media Ecosystem Observatory found in 2024, online posts from federal Conservative MPs garnered 61 per cent more engagement — likes, shares and comments — than those from Liberal and NDP MPs combined.

It found that engagement with Conservative politicians on X has increased 52 per cent since Elon Musk, a key ally of U.S. President Donald Trump, took over the platform previously known as Twitter in 2022.

The report looked at online posts from all members of Parliament on Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube and TikTok between January 2022 and November 2024.

When making a major career course correction, Julie Robichaud did the math. She calculated that a job at Magellan Aerospace, Winnipeg would give her wings to soar to new and higher professional goals.

“I had just come out of 10 years in hospitality and decided to switch gears, so I started at Magellan at three days a week and they quickly moved me to five days,” says Robichaud.

“It’s been great. The company is very good about giving me the educational and other supports I need to succeed and to grow.”

Magellan Aerospace is a global company that designs, engineers and manufactures aeroengine and aerostructure components for the aerospace and space markets. Located in Winnipeg, the company’s employees build everything from complex aircraft assemblies to satellite buses.

Quand le froid gèle la collecte de sang

Hugo Beaucamp 5 minute read Saturday, Mar. 8, 2025

Les intempéries hivernales ont parfois des impacts insoupçonnés. Alors que les déplacements ont été rendus difficiles à travers le pays, la Société canadienne du sang doit combler les pertes causées pour répondre à un besoin toujours plus important.

Le temps hivernal s’est montré quelque peu extrême le mois dernier. S’il n’est pas nécessairement évident de faire le lien entre les deux, et bien les aléas météorologiques ont un impact direct sur la collecte de sang au Manitoba et plus largement dans tout le pays.

Aujourd’hui, il faut savoir que, la branche manitobaine de la Société canadienne du sang (SCS), ne compte pas moins de 30 cliniques mobiles. Ces dernières se déplacent trois fois par semaine dans les communautés rurales de la province. Entre autres, Brandon, Portage la Prairie ou bien Selkirk.

Or les intempéries ont provoqué l’annulation de plusieurs centaines de rendez-vous, comme l’explique Rayna Porter, responsable du développement communautaire pour la SCS ici, à Winnipeg.
