Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew accused a group of Republicans of throwing a "timber tantrum" and playing "political games" after they called out Canada over wildfires sending smoke billowing across the international border into their states.

"These are attention-seekers who can't come up with a good idea on health care or on making life more affordable," Kinew told The Canadian Press. "So they're playing games with something that's very serious."

Tornado warnings have now ended for most areas, but Environment Canada says a severe thunderstorm watch remains in effect for southern Manitoba, including the City of Winnipeg.

As of 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, there is still one isolated patch of severe thunderstorm warnings southeast of Winnipeg.

Earlier in the evening, funnel clouds were spotted near Garven Road (Provincial Road 213), just east of Vernon Road, looking southeast toward Oakbank. The photos, taken by Vince Chan around 5:35 p.m., did not show any funnels touching down.

The Manitoba Métis Federation is turning down Prime Minister Mark Carney's invitation to discuss his government's controversial major projects legislation, saying it won't attend the meeting alongside another Métis group it says has no reason to exist.

The federation, which represents Red River Métis, says Carney's decision to include the Métis Nation of Ontario in Thursday's meeting undermines the integrity of the gathering and puts the government's plans for major projects at risk.

Just before 3:30 a.m., the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service received a call about a fire in a single-storey home in the 400 block of Beverley Street. There were also reports that residents may be trapped in the house.

Smoke was coming from the home when crews arrived, and firefighters quickly launched an interior fire attack. 

Crews searched the home, but found no occupants. It was later discovered that everyone made it out safely before firefighters arrived at the scene.
