The Winnipeg Blue Bombers will be without their starting quarterback for the first game of the 2025 season. 

On Wednesday afternoon, the Canadian Football League (CFL) announced that Zach Collaros has been suspended one game for failure to respond to Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) officials for an off-season drug test.

While several attempts were made to contact Collaros, there was ultimately no response within 24 hours.

Prime Minister Mark Carney is expected to brief Canada's premiers today following his seemingly successful first meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday.

Carney and Trump spent about two hours together at the White House, including about half an hour in front of the cameras in the Oval Office, and a private luncheon.

Both leaders were accompanied by senior members of their cabinets and their chiefs of staff.

A 34-year-old man from Winnipeg is dead following a collision Sunday morning near Stonewall.

The crash happened around 10 a.m. on Highway 67, just east of Highway 7 in the Rural Municipality of Rockwood.

Stonewall RCMP say a semi was travelling west on Highway 67 when an SUV in the eastbound lanes crossed the dividing line and collided head-on with the semi truck. 

The driver of the SUV, a 34-year-old man from Winnipeg, was transported to hospital, where he died of his injuries.

Manitoba's new Opposition leader says his party wants changes and clarity on a bill by the NDP government that would add gender expression to the province's human rights code.

The bill, now making its way through the legislature, would include protections for people to be called by their preferred pronouns.

Progressive Conservative Leader Obby Khan said Tuesday he has heard concerns by some members of the public who fear people could face a complaint for addressing someone by the wrong gender.

The Conservative caucus has tapped former leader Andrew Scheer to lead the party in the House of Commons when Parliament resumes on May 26 — a role that's needed because Pierre Poilievre lost his seat in last week's election.

"I'll be taking over the parliamentary leadership duties of the caucus until Mr. Poilievre rejoins us in the House," Scheer told reporters after emerging from an all-day caucus meeting on Parliament Hill Tuesday.
