Manitoba Public Insurance (MPI) says it’s increasing efforts to stop illegal vehicle sales and fraud through expanded oversight of curbers—unlicensed sellers who pose as private individuals while buying and selling multiple vehicles.

In a news release issued on Thursday, MPI warned that curbers operate without regulation, meaning buyers may end up with vehicles that have rolled-back odometers, undisclosed collision histories, cloned Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs), or other hidden issues. These risks leave consumers with no recourse if something goes wrong.

What If Theatre is set to take Winnipeg theatregoers away from the Gargoyle Theatre in the West End to the fictional town of Waska, Manitoba. There, a grisly crime that took place forty years ago involving cannibalism still haunts the streets and psyches of its residents, and the once-bustling tourist community is all but deserted as a result.

It was love that first brought soprano Elin Rombo to Brandon as a young student. 

“We used to joke that it all started with the Balkan War,” she recalls. “Back in Sweden in the 90’s, I had a boyfriend in high school, and he was a refugee from the former Yugoslavia. He couldn’t stay in Sweden for different reasons, and he had to find somewhere to go.” 

Winnipeg's mayor is encouraging Winnipeggers to donate to the Canadian Red Cross as out-of-control wildfires in northern Manitoba force over 17,000 Manitobans to evacuate to Winnipeg. 

"We know many families are arriving with little more than the clothes on their backs," said Mayor Scott Gillingham. "Our job now is to make sure they feel safe, supported, and welcomed."

To ensure a smooth response, the city has activated its Emergency Operations Centre to coordinate facilities and services for incoming evacuees.

The results of the 2025 CAA Worst Roads campaign are in. 

This year, Provincial Trunk Highway 34 has taken over the top spot. 

Ewald Friesen, manager of government and community relations for CAA Manitoba, says they've seen this road make the list before, but not the number one spot.

"This is the sixth time that this highway has made it to our top ten list, so it's what we would like to call a usual suspect," said Friesen. "The stretch of highway runs between Holland and Gladstone, and you know, we've seen it before, but never in our top in our number one spot.

Winnipeg is ready and set as thousands of Manitobans flock to Winnipeg due to wildfires burning out of control in northern Manitoba.

The centre opened at 9 p.m. on Wednesday and will remain open until everyone has found a place to stay.
