The storm isn't finished just yet as another wave of severe thunderstorms rolls through southern Manitoba early Thursday morning. 

UPDATE: The severe thunderstorm watch for Winnipeg ended at 6:33 a.m.

"We're not out of the woods just yet," says Keane Kokolsky, a meteorologist from Environment and Climate Change Canada (EC). "Severe thunderstorm watches do remain in effect for most of southern Manitoba."

After undergoing hip surgery earlier this week, Pastor Greg Laurie, lead pastor of Harvest Church in California, is giving thanks to God for allowing him to share his goodness, even before the procedure took place. 

"From the moment I walked into the hospital, God surrounded me with believers — the receptionist, the nurses, even my doctor, who asked me to pray for him before his surgeries that day," said Laurie in a post on social media. "My anesthesiologist was also a Christian. What a blessing!"

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe is set to meet today with federal Agriculture Minister Heath MacDonald, along with industry groups, to discuss the steep Chinese tariff on Canadian canola seed. 

Kody Blois, the parliamentary secretary for Prime Minister Mark Carney, and Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister Daryl Harrison are also to attend the meeting in Saskatoon.

A press conference is scheduled following the discussion. 

Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand is set to have her first official meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Washington today amid ongoing tensions in the bilateral relationship.

Anand and Rubio have previously spoken by phone, including in June ahead of the G7 Leaders' Summit in Kananaskis.

Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc cycled through Washington in July looking for a tariff offramp but instead U.S. President Donald Trump boosted duties on Canada to 35 per cent.

The word formed literally means "originated or created." 

God reached into my life when I was merely a tiny embryo and began to shape me within. He originated me. He began to put me together while I was still in the soft silence of my mother's womb. It was there my "inward parts" were originated by God....

Psalm 42:8

By day the Lord directs his love,
at night his song is with me—
a prayer to the God of my life.

Thousands of people made their way to a farm in the Friedensfeld area Wednesday evening for a concert put on by controversial American performer and political activist Sean Feucht.

The show is part of Feucht's Revive in 25 tour, and it was first set to be held in Winnipeg's Central Park before the city denied the event a permit last month, citing several concerns, chief amongst them safety.

Motorists will be able to drive over the Louise Bridge several weeks earlier than anticipated starting Friday morning.
