Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has written to the leader of the New Democrats, urging him to force an election this fall.

Poilievre's letter to Jagmeet Singh says the NDP does not have a mandate from voters to keep Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in power for another year.

He's urging Singh to vote non-confidence in the government when the House of Commons resumes in September.

The NDP entered a supply and confidence deal with the Liberals in 2022, agreeing to keep the minority government in power until 2025 in exchange for movement on key priorities.

With a string of violent attacks perpetrated by youth as young as 12 years old, the Executive Director of Inner City Youth Alive (ICYA) shares his thoughts on how best to address the situation. 

Kent Dueck started ICYA 38 years ago in the heart of Winnipeg. The staff and volunteers have worked with youth who come from broken homes and trauma as well as some teens who belong to a gang.

This year in particular, Winnipeg has seen a rise in teenage-related crimes, which has increased 42 per cent in the last five years. 

A severe thunderstorm headed across southern Manitoba on Thursday in the early morning hours with the watch ending just after 6:00 a.m.

The biggest threat with this thunderstorm is strong wind gusts, large hail, and heavy rain that could flood certain areas.
