Manitoba NDP holds Point Douglas in tight byelection
Bernadette Smith won the Point Douglas byelection for the Manitoba NDP, keeping the seat after a closer-than-usual race. Liberal challenger John Cacayuran finished second, PC Jodi Moskal third. Smith, new to elected office, pledged to oppose government cuts as she heads to the legislature. Royce Koop of the University of Manitoba said the result is still a win for the NDP after last year’s setback.

Casino owner seeks a more community minded landlord
Court documents detail a rental dispute over square footage after Elements Lounge at the Lodge was transferred by Vanshaw in 2014 in exchange for debt relief and profit share. Vanshaw halted rent, a 2016 Lodge-favoring ruling urged negotiation, and Vanshaw appealed gaining a temporary stay. AGLC relocation timing depends on community input. Lokhande points to charity stake as crucial in votes, while Mayor Clugston notes no zoning issues and no city opinion.

Government calls hate crime rise troubling across Canada
Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale called the rise in police-reported hate crimes deeply troubling as Statistics Canada reports eight of ten provinces saw increases from 2014 to 2015. Alberta led the surge with 193 incidents, driven by Islamophobia and other group-directed hate, while Thunder Bay recorded the highest metro rate largely due to anti Aboriginal offences. Indigenous leaders cite reporting gaps and distrust of police, noting children migrate for education and vulnerability rises when families fear retaliation.
