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.

Nurses in British Columbia are set to escalate their job action next week, picketing Vancouver General Hospital — the province’s largest — after a near-unanimous vote of nearly 50,000 nurses supported striking. While they pledge to keep delivering essential patient care, they’re halting all non-essential overtime and non-nursing duties. Union leaders say they’re not seeking disruption, but are frustrated the government isn’t addressing systemic issues, including a critical nursing shortage. A previous deal was rejected by a large majority, and the union’s CEO made it clear: real improvements to working conditions are now the government’s responsibility — or the strike will continue.

Winnipeg’s streets are heating up with gun violence as two separate incidents spotlight a troubling trend: a 35-year-old man faces 22 charges after allegedly pulling a loaded weapon on police during a traffic stop—despite already being under electronic monitoring—and a 50-year-old man is also charged after pointing a gun at a security guard. Add to that seven arrests in a St. Matthews drug raid and two men charged in a downtown March shooting that narrowly missed causing serious injury, and it’s clear law enforcement is scrambling to stem the tide of escalating crime.

Canada’s eyeing ten new nuclear reactors to power its future—but the price tag is astronomical, and the government’s turning to private investors like Quebec’s La Caisse to help pay for it. Inspired by the U.K.’s Sizewell C project, which could cost over $72 billion and has private investors covering more than half, the plan hinges on risky bets: nuclear projects are notorious for ballooning budgets and delays, like Hinkley Point C and Olkiluoto 3. To lure pension funds, governments are offering sweeteners like the “regulated asset base” model, where investors get paid back during construction and are shielded from cost overruns—often at the expense of taxpayers or consumers. While proponents tout job creation and long-term energy security, critics warn this could saddle the public with higher electricity bills. The gamble? Big returns, big risks, and a race to see who ends up footing the bill.

A year after buses were rerouted off Graham Avenue to make it pedestrian-friendly, local businesses are reeling—facing layoffs, reduced hours, and even shrinking spaces. Once bustling with transit traffic, the street now struggles to draw crowds, forcing owners to scramble with farmers markets and food truck festivals as temporary fixes. While city officials plan grants and long-term housing upgrades to revitalize the area, frustration simmers as businesses wait for recovery—and foot traffic remains stubbornly uncertain.

Winnipeg police just slapped a 35-year-old with 22 charges after a wild chase involving a loaded, homemade sawed-off gun. It started when officers tried to pull him over for riding an e-bike on the sidewalk — he bolted, ditched his sweater, and pulled a live .22 caliber weapon on cops. After a tense street pursuit, he was tackled, the gun skidded across the road, and bystanders were urged to grab it — but the cops secured both weapon and suspect. Lussier, already on probation and violating his ankle monitor, now faces assault with a weapon, firearms offenses, and probation violations — all after a chaotic, dangerous run through the city.
