Southern Manitoba is in for an extended stretch of warm and sunny weather, with temperatures on the rise and little chance of rain in the forecast. 

Chris Stammers, meteorologist with Environment Canada, says the region has been enjoying comfortable conditions in the low to mid 20s, but that will change as we move further into the week. 

A 39-year-old man is recovering after being shot at Saturday afternoon.

The incidents happened shortly after 3 p.m. near Mountain Avenue and Salter Street.

When officers arrived, they located a 39-year-old man suffering from a serious upper body injury consistent with being shot.

He was transported to hospital in unstable condition but has since been upgraded to stable.

No other injuries were reported. 

The intersection was closed for hours while police investigated.

The Major Crimes Unit has taken over the investigation. 

Among the tour groups converging on Parliament Hill under umbrellas this week, new and newly re-elected members of Parliament are getting acquainted with their offices and colleagues ahead of the opening of the House of Commons this week. 

The first order of business for MPs is the selection of a new House Speaker on Monday morning, and at least six returning members are asking their colleagues to support their bid to take the chair. 

James 1:19

"My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry."

Psalm 128:1, 3

Before supper one night, I suggested to my son Curtis (who was six) that he shouldserveCharissa (four) before he served himself. Naturally, he wondered why, since the platter of chicken sat directly in front of him and he was starving. I explained it is polite for fellas to serve girls before they serve themselves. The rule sounded weird to him, but he was willing if she didn’t take too long.

Surprisingly, after prayer, he picked up the huge platter, held it in front of his sister, and asked which piece of chicken she wanted.

The Newsboys will no longer be touring Canada this spring, and both the band and the tour promoter are offering sharply different explanations for why.

Faith Live, the promoter behind the Worldwide Revival Nights Tour, announced the cancellation Saturday evening, calling it a difficult but necessary decision based on prayer, planning, and recent concerns that arose following a change in the band’s lineup.

Canada Post customers may face delays as tens of thousands of workers swear off overtime shifts, though a much bigger disruption was averted after the union backed down from a strike threat.

Nonetheless, the possibility of escalating job action could continue to scare off customers who pulled their shipments over the past couple of weeks, draining more business from the cash-strapped organization.

“I’m scared for the future,” said Edmonton mail carrier Dustin Ellis, who recently went on leave to study for a new career in social work.
