The greatest turnout was in the ridings of Winnipeg West, which saw 74.33 per cent of eligible voters cast a ballot, and Winnipeg South, where 74.3 per cent voted. The lowest turnout was 37.54 per cent in the Churchill-Keewatinook Aski riding.

The province has asked Manitoba's auditor general to review a $100-million daycare construction project initiated by the previous Progressive Conservative government in partnership with a company which paid millions of dollars to a separate company co-owned by the director of the PCs' 2023 re-election campaign.

In 2022, the province announced a $70-million "partnership" which included John Q Public Inc., a company that is owned by 12 rural municipalities, which are listed as shareholders.

'The total project managed by John Q was valued at almost $100 million and may not have followed normal provincial or municipal procurement practices," says an April 16 letter from Brian O'Leary, deputy minister of education and early learning, to the auditor general, which was tabled during question period Thursday.

A Manitoba judge says the court must consider showing a sample of child pornography during a May sentencing hearing for a man who has pleaded guilty to possessing the material.

The defence suggested because Yankie is not contesting the facts in this case, a written description of the material would suffice.

However, the Crown said the sample should be reviewed alongside a written description of the material at the sentencing hearing, referencing a 2002 Alberta appeal court decision that stated "the photographs do not depict the crime — they are the crime."

More than one in four units at the Glasshouse had a short-term rental licence approved since new city bylaws came into effect last year — that's 56 licence approvals in the 194-unit building, a CBC News analysis of city data has found.

As of April 2024, any owners who rent out a home for a continuous period of less than 30 days are required to get a business licence from the city and renew it annually. In Winnipeg, websites like Airbnb or Vrbo host many of these listings.

According to the bylaw, any permanent Winnipeg resident can temporarily rent out their primary residence — and only their primary residence — if it was bought after Feb. 23, 2023.

However, some owners can rent out their primary residence and three non-primary residences if the properties were owned on or before that date.

Juangco-Maniquiz was "cautiously optimistic" about the bylaws, but says the city's decision to grandfather in some people who own multiple units has done little to help her building's situation.

This is the first time Kinew has indicated any openness to the idea of a second port, which has been raised before.

The prior Progressive Conservative government in Manitoba put forward a funding commitment to study it, but Kinew's government cancelled that.

On Tuesday, he said the idea would not even be on the table if Trump didn't upend world trade.
