Greek myth and Japanese folklore. Vibrant colours and a vague sense of foreboding.

Environment Canada is continuing to alert southern Manitoba to the air quality issues caused by the wildfires in northern Manitoba, which continue to rage. 

"This air quality statement is in place for the wildfire smoke that's coming down from the northern and central portions of the prairie provinces towards southern Manitoba," says Eric Dykes, a meteorologist with Environment and Climate Change Canada (EC). 

The air quality will sit mostly between 7 and 9 throughout Monday, which is very high. 

Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand says the economy is becoming the primary focus of Canada's relationships in the Indo-Pacific — a shift that appears linked to Canada's recent moves to overcome its security dispute with India.

Anand was in Japan and Malaysia this week for her first trip to the region since taking over as foreign minister in May. Her message coming out of that trip was that Canada's foreign policy is shifting — though not abandoning — the priorities set by the previous Liberal government of former prime minister Justin Trudeau.

The Canadian Armed Forces says it's evacuated over a thousand residents of a northern Manitoba community threatened by a wildfire, while towns and villages in the province are welcoming cooler weather they say is helping firefighters.

The attack of a Winnipeg first responder who was allegedly hit with a pole by a man while responding to a vehicle fire is being condemned by the city's firefighters' union.

United Fire Fighters of Winnipeg president Nick Kasper says situations like this one are becoming more common, and they underscore the need for legislation that protects first responders.

Winnipeg police have said firefighters responded Friday to a pickup truck on fire north of the city's downtown.

The Department of National Defence is looking at the possibility of complementing its incoming F-35 fleet with uncrewed combat aircraft.

Unclassified documents obtained by The Canadian Press show the department is researching various options for acquiring the emerging technology.

The documents suggest that purchasing a fleet of aerial combat drones that could fly alongside fighter jets could cost as much as $16 billion and would require hundreds of staff.

🎭 The Winnipeg Fringe is back—and it’s bolder, weirder, and more wonderful than ever.

Running July 17–28, the 2025 Winnipeg Fringe Theatre Festival takes over the Exchange District with more than 150 productions, including local favourites, touring troupes, comedy acts, one-person epics, dance, drag, improv, musicals, puppetry—and probably at least one Shakespeare adaptation with sock puppets. That’s the joy of the Fringe: anything goes!
