Swan River lifts mandatory evacuations as floodwaters recede, but caution remains as homes still face standing water and cleanup ahead. The federal government deploys Canadian Armed Forces and Team Rubicon to aid Manitoba’s Parkland region, while mayors and communities brace for more rain, rising waters, and stranded residents — all as recovery efforts ramp up with pumps, sandbags, and temporary dikes.

The Gordie Howe Bridge, meant to link Detroit and Windsor, remains shut down amid swirling speculation that big donations from the Ambassador Bridge’s Moroun family are stalling progress — though U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra insists it’s just technical delays. Reports surfaced of a $1 million Moroun donation to a Trump super PAC around the same time Trump hinted at blocking the bridge unless the U.S. got compensation, fueling suspicion. Hoekstra, who also received over $35,000 from the Morouns during his last term, brushed it off as standard business lobbying. Meanwhile, the U.S. refuses to budge on funding, arguing it’s paying more than half the bridge’s revenue — despite Canada covering the full construction cost — since traffic on the Ambassador Bridge, owned by Americans, generates income. Complicating matters further, Hoekstra is skeptical about the CUSMA trade deal’s future, noting Canada hasn’t even begun talks while Mexico has, and tariff exemptions are up in the air — with termination on the table.

Sidney Green, the trailblazing Jewish Canadian lawyer and politician who died at 96, didn’t just make history—he lived it with unshakable conviction. From his working-class roots to becoming the first Jewish Canadian to seriously challenge for party leadership in 1968, Green carved a legacy defined by honesty, intellect, and the courage to stand firm—even when it cost him. A courtroom legend and a cabinet minister who resigned over religious school funding, he refused to compromise his values. Even in retirement, he dominated private law into his 80s, leaving behind a life of principle, passion, and profound impact.
