Investigators remained on the scene Thursday at Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis, one day after a shooter opened fire during a back-to-school Mass with students from the attached school, killing two children and injuring 17 others.

Church and school officials say the campus will remain closed while police complete their work and support services are put in place for students, staff and families.

Manitoba's ethics commissioner has cleared Premier Wab Kinew of any wrongdoing after he accepted and paid for private travel with Winnipeg's professional football team to go to two Grey Cup games.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers invited Kinew on a private charter to the 2023 Grey Cup game in Hamilton and the following year to the football finals in Vancouver. The Bombers were playing both years.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre on Wednesday accused the federal Liberals of allowing temporary foreign workers to take jobs away from young Canadians while youth unemployment is high.

"As our young people have a quarter-century high in their unemployment, Mark Carney this year is expected to bring in a record number of temporary foreign workers to take the jobs of Canadian youth," Poilievre said. 

Statistics Canada data shows unemployment for youth, aged 15 to 24, hit 14.6 per cent in July. This is the highest it's been since 2010, outside of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The guitarist of the Christian rock band Kutless, James Mead, is slowly healing after he had a stroke in July. 

"I want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you who has supported me and my family since my stroke on July 26th," says Kutless on social media. "Your generosity, kindness, and encouragement have meant the world to us - we truly wouldn't be where we are without you."

Mead has been on the road to recovery, which includes many new routines and exercises. 

It started with a passion for cooking and a dream. It’s become a journey of 25 years, and counting.

“In January we’re going to start celebrating our 25th year, and we’ll be doing a lot of exciting things,” says Danny Kleinsasser, owner and founder of Danny’s Whole Hog.

Back in 2001, it was a simple operation. Kleinsasser had 25 barbecues, and he and his staff would train customers on how to roast a pig for their corporate get-together or family event. People loved it. They also had suggestions to make the business even better.

A Winnipeg parkade is set to play host to a powerful evening of worship and prayer this weekend.

Testimony Olumade is on the ANAN Experience team and says the ministry was formed after a December 2023 prayer walk. "As I was walking, I experienced a lot to stop me in my tracks. And in a quick vision, I saw Winnipeg and the crowd worshiping," Olumade said. "It was a lot of people worshiping and proclaiming the name of Jesus. Right there, I heard the Lord tell me, 'Yes, this is My vision for the city. The church will be united and the name of Jesus proclaimed in the city.'"
