Marian Anderson, the great contralto who won worldwide acclaim, didn't simply grow great; she grew great simply. In spite of her fame, she remained a beautiful model of humility.

A reporter interviewing Miss Anderson once asked her to name the greatest moment in her life. She had had so many big moments to choose from. For example:

There is no evidence that indicates the federal Conservatives were behind a bot network on social media that praised a Pierre Poilievre rally, a new study has found. 

The Canadian Digital Media Research Network launched an investigation after hundreds of X accounts posted about the Conservative leader's July rally in Kirkland Lake, Ont., all using the same language with phrases like "buzzing with energy" and "as a northern Ontarian."

A serial killer has been formally sentenced to four concurrent life sentences with no chance of parole for 25 years in the slayings of four Indigenous women in Winnipeg.

Jeremy Skibicki showed no emotion as the sentence was handed down Wednesday.

When asked by Court of King's Bench Justice Glenn Joyal if he had anything to say, Skibicki replied, “No.”

The judge said he was bound by law to impose the automatic sentence after convicting Skibicki last month of four counts of first-degree murder.

Manitoba's harvest is now well underway. 

According to the weekly crop report for the province, 60 per cent of the winter wheat has been harvested and along with 72 per cent of the fall rye.

In addition, 3 per cent of the spring wheat and oats, 15 per cent of the barley, and 20 per cent of the field peas have now come off the field. 

After being taken off the field on a stretcher on Friday night during the first quarter, there's good news surrounding Blue Bombers offensive lineman Stanley Bryant. 

According to head coach Mike O'Shea, Bryant was sick but is expected to take the field against the Saskatchewan Roughriders in Sunday's Labour Day Classic.
