The southeast is getting battered today as heavy winds are hitting the area, causing Environment and Climate Change Canada to issue a wind warning. Speeds are expected to ramp up around noon to around 90 km/h, dropping by the evening to manageable levels.

Meteorologist Crawford Luke takes a look at what's blowing into the southeast.

A new public art project in Carlyle is sparking conversation and reflection, as banners honouring Indigenous history and the journey toward reconciliation were unveiled yesterday. 

Grain Rush is back in the southeast, with farmers getting lunchtime meals from KFC over the next few weeks, thanks to sponsors such as NextAcre Real Estate. The very first meal went out to Fichter Farms, which operates just outside of Bienfait.

Todd Fichter says that the farm is just about ready to switch over crops at this time.

"Just about done with wheat today. Tomorrow will be our last day of wheat, and then on to canola."

The Shirley Carson Therapeutic Park in Lampman has launched a new program aimed at getting people of all ages moving while enjoying the outdoors.

Treasurer of the park committee, Monica Dukart, says the initiative, called Community in Motion, is all about encouraging residents to come out, walk, and connect.

“Initially, what we're trying to do is think of ways to encourage the community to use the therapeutic park, to enjoy all the beautiful flowers and trees,” said Dukart. “So we thought, why don’t we meet once a week and encourage the community to get moving?”

It looks like India is thinking about implementing an import duty on yellow peas. 

India Pulses and Grains Association is concerned that an increase in yellow pea production in Canada and Russia could result in more imports.

They say ongoing imports have brought down prices, which could discourage Indian farmers from expanding their own pulse production.

The IPGA says in order to raise the price of yellow peas in the domestic market, they are calling on the Indian government to impose a 30 to 40 per cent import duty.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is calling on the Liberals to scrap the temporary foreign worker program, arguing it has caused an employment crisis among young Canadians.

"The Liberals have to answer why is it that they're shutting our own youth out of jobs and replacing them with low-wage, temporary foreign workers from poor countries who are ultimately being exploited," Poilievre told a news conference Wednesday morning in Mississauga, Ont.

"We want Canadian workers to have Canadian jobs. We want to bring back high wages."

Prime Minister Mark Carney and his cabinet will meet behind closed doors for a second day in a row today, as the Liberal government prepares for Parliament's return in a little under two weeks.

Cabinet is discussing efforts to spur industrial investment, refocus Ottawa's spending priorities for the coming fall budget and counter U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs.

The federal government is expected in October to table Carney's first budget since taking office.

Estevan’s Living Skies Woodworking is turning heads, locally and beyond. Owner Steven Raymond recently crafted a custom sign for country star Lainey Wilson, continuing a growing list of high-profile clients that includes Colter Wall, Jelly Roll, and even Hawthorne Bjornsson from Game of Thrones.

The idea behind each piece, Steven explains, is personalization. “We did not want to just put Lainey Wilson on the sign. We scoured her social media for color palettes and symbols she loves. The horseshoe was a huge thing for her. It really reflects her southern roots.”
