The Winkler Flyers dropped a 3-1 decision to the Portage Terriers Sunday afternoon at Stride Place. Nicholas Mckee had the lone goal for the defending Turnbull Cup champions who have lost three of their last four games.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has written to the provinces' premiers, asking them to eliminate their sales taxes on new homes that are under $1 million.

It follows Poilievre's own pledge last week that if he becomes prime minister, he will axe the federal sales tax on new homes sold for under $1 million.

The Conservatives estimated that measure would reduce the cost of an $800,000 home by $40,000 and spur construction of another 30,000 homes per year.

The provincewide lockout against a union of more than 700 foremen at all British Columbia ports is expected to begin at 8 a.m.

The BC Maritime Employers Association has said the lockout is meant to "facilitate a safe and orderly wind-down of operations" in light of "escalating and unpredictable strike action."

Last week, it said the move was being done "defensively" after International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 514 had issued a 72-hour strike notice for job action, which also starts at 8 a.m.

The Winkler And District Christmas Cheerboard kicked off its 2024 season with the annual Holly Jolly Breakfast Saturday morning at Central Station Community Centre. The fundraiser marked the beginning of the Cheerboard's campaign to raise $130,000 for hampers this December.

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.

The Manitoba Wildlife Federation (MWF) is hosting a series of town hall meetings this week across Southern Manitoba, including in Pilot Mound, Portage and Brandon.

Previous meetings held in Northern and Central Manitoba have garnered significant interest, according to Rob Olson the Federation's Senior Scientific Advisor.

The Canadian Agri-Food Trade Alliance (CAFTA) attended the 33rd Annual Tri-National Agricultural Accord meetings from October 21-23 in Arlington, VA, to reinforce its strong support for the North American agri-food trading system.

“The strength of CAFTA’s delegation underscores our firm commitment to the North American agri-food trading framework, particularly as we approach the 2026 CUSMA Review,” said CAFTA president Greg Northey. “With the U.S. Presidential election on the horizon, it is critical to hear directly from our U.S. and Mexican partners.”
