The Independent Investigation Unit is investigating after a man died while in police custody.

Just before 4 a.m. on Sunday, members of the Winnipeg Police Service arrested a man in the 100 block of King Edward Street East on an outstanding warrant.

The man was brought to police headquarters at 245 Smith Street and turned over to the Central Processing Unit. He was medically cleared by a CPU paramedic and put in a holding room.

A few hours later, around 7:30 a.m., while conducting a scheduled arousal check, the man was found unresponsive in the holding room.

God's Lake Narrows RCMP say a pick-up truck struck the 21-month-old in the child's yard at around 4 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 12.

No charges have been laid.

The investigation continues.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre will gather with his caucus on Parliament Hill today as he prepares to make another push to topple the Liberal government as early as next week.

The one-day caucus meeting ahead of the return of Parliament Monday will begin with a public address by Poilievre, who has maintained his party's commanding lead in the polls throughout the summer.

They are the last of the major parties to have a fall strategy session after the Liberals, NDP and Bloc Québécois all met last week.

On Monday Parliamentarians will return to the familiar stone walls of West Block in Ottawa to find the political landscape has shifted significantly.

When they last gathered in the capital the Liberals knew their prospects were poor after languishing in the polls for more than a year, but they were secure in the knowledge the New Democrats would prevent them from toppling before they table the next budget, at least.

But the summer saw several seismic shifts that mean the government will now operate as a true minority that could fall to an election at any time.

Passengers with plans to fly on Canada's largest airline can breathe a sigh of relief after Air Canada said Sunday it has reached a tentative agreement with the union representing more than 5,200 of its pilots. 

The news of a preliminary deal with the Air Line Pilots Association came shortly after midnight on Sunday when the airline issued a press release just days ahead of a potential work stoppage for Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge. 

The tentative deal averts a strike or lockout that could have begun on Wednesday, with flight cancellations expected before then.

Ephesians 4:11-16

Many professions draw public attention like warm watermelon draws flies. Those who practise them are constantly in the news. If it isn't the money they make, it's the company they keep or the trends they set or the controversy they spawn. Their notoriety is somewhere between amazing and appalling.

There is one profession, however, that is neither notorious nor controversial. Although essential to our future as a nation, being inseparably linked to the home as few other professions are, it has been treated like a stepchild.
