Khan is one of two candidates vying to become the next leader of Manitoba's Progressive Conservative party.

Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew says freezing the scheduled rental rate for agricultural Crown land (ACL) forage leases for the 2025 growing season is about affordability.

For 2025, the annual rent will be set at the same rate as 2024 for ACL forage leases and permits, which, according to the Province, means producers won't see an increase to the rate on their invoice for 2025. 

"This is something, in particular, that we're looking at for the beef producers and the operations that have grazing lands on Crown lands," explained Kinew. 

Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew says the results of Tuesday's U.S. presidential election will be pivotal to the future of our province's economy.

Since his own election last fall, Kinew has been working to strengthen Manitoba's relationship with the United States through a series of trade missions.

"Whichever way the American public decides to cast their votes, we're going to be that good trading partner, that ally that they can trust, and we're going to continue to look at them as our friend and ally, and trading partner," said Kinew.

There were only minor injuries in a crash involving a semi and sport utility vehicle on Highway 75 Wednesday afternoon.

The woman was ticketed under the Highway Traffic Act.

Accompanied by the womens' families, who also brought with them their spiritual supports, one of which was a Christian pastor, Kinew says the moment happened on their way back down the hill.
