The Liberals have won their fourth mandate this time under the leadership of leader Mark Carney.

When Mark Carney formed government as Canada's 24th Prime Minister on March 14, 2025, he selected 34-year-old Kody Blois from the Kings-Hants riding in Nova Scotia as the Federal Minister for Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and Rural Economic Development.

Blois is heading back to Parliament after winning his riding last night. Expectations are that Carney could keep him in that role, but that will be determined when he announces his new cabinet in the days ahead.

The Seine River School Division (SRSD) is stepping out of this academic year, and heading into the next, with a little extra cash. 

Colin Campbell, superintendent of the SRSD, says they're fortunate to have received about $270,000. 

"We're obviously grateful for that money and we are putting it directly back into our schools in the areas of furnishing," he says, adding that could include lockers, desks, chairs, and more. 

The community has once again stepped up in a big way to support Steinbach Community Outreach (SCO). 

Tasha Wiese continues on her journey of recovery, growing stronger with each passing day. 

Since March, she has been healing from a life-threatening illness that led to multiple amputations. 

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre will not have a seat in the next Parliament, after a stunning upset by Liberal candidate Bruce Fanjoy in the riding of Carleton. 

Poilievre's loss raises a host of questions about his ability to continue with the Conservative party leadership, and the role he will play as the House of Commons reconvenes. 

In his concession speech on election night, Poilievre pledged that Conservatives will "do our constitutional duty of holding government to account and proposing better alternatives."

Prime Minister Mark Carney promised to unite the country and govern for all after Canadians handed the Liberals a fourth consecutive mandate in Monday's federal election.

"Who is ready," he shouted to cheers and applause and people chanting his name in a crowded hockey arena in Ottawa in the wee hours of the morning. "Who is ready? Who is ready to stand up for Canada with me? And who is ready to build Canada strong?"

Prime Minister Mark Carney will lead a minority government after a very close general election race that left the Liberals just three seats shy of a majority. 

Just before 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday, Elections Canada showed the Liberals projected to win 169 ridings after flipping one riding in Quebec from the Bloc Québécois earlier in the day. 

The Conservatives won 144 seats and will form the official Opposition again. The Bloc Québécois followed with 22 seats, the NDP with seven projected seats and the Green Party with one seat.

The SRSS Sabres soccer team is picking up momentum and the group is coming off a very impressive weekend where they won a prestigious tournament. 

For Angela Zwaagstra and Veronique Daoust, the path to a new career didn’t begin in their teens or twenties—it started in their late thirties and mid-forties. The two southeastern Manitoba women are now thriving in careers that once felt out of reach, and they say age and experience have only helped them succeed.
