CAA Manitoba's Worst Roads campaign is quickly coming to a close.

Manitobans have until the end of today to vote for the province's most notorious roadway. 

Ewald Friesen is the Manager of government and community relations for CAA Manitoba. He says one trend they're noticing is that more and more rural roads are making the top of the list. 

The large Canadian flag that was recently draped on the front of the Manitoba legislature is being repaired for a second time and is being adopted by the Manitoba government.

The nine-by-18-metre flag was property of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers football team and was brought out onto the field for the national anthem before each home game.

The provincial government borrowed it in early March and had it hung above the legislature's main entrance as a symbol of the resistance to tariffs threatened by U.S. President Donald Trump. 

Liberal Leader Mark Carney said Thursday he would pass tougher laws to stop people from being harassed at their places of worship, part of a suite of crime and justice measures he unveiled at a campaign stop in southern Ontario.

The promise comes after more than a year of reports of rising hate targeting Jews and Muslims in Canada following the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel in 2023, and the war in Gaza.
