Trade war fuelling spike in city costs

Joyanne Pursaga 3 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

A trade war between the U.S. and Canada could cost the City of Winnipeg millions of dollars more than was anticipated during the budget process for this year’s expenditures and beyond.

The city is at risk of paying up to $4.7 million more for $913.7 million of upcoming construction expenses by the end of 2027, due to the effects of tariffs and counter-tariffs.

The affected projects include part of the massive $3.1-billion North End sewage treatment plant upgrade that is now underway, Paul Beckta, a senior city economist, said during a Monday finance committee meeting.

However, Beckta said those financial concerns will become a reality only if the city keeps the same suppliers and current tariff levels remain in place.

Seven years sought for serial harasser

Dean Pritchard 5 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

Alexander Beaton finished serving a two-year jail sentence for criminally harassing six women and didn’t last two days in the community before he was back at it, sending unwanted obscene messages and videos to a dozen women.

Now prosecutors are seeking a seven-year prison sentence for the 30-year-old Winnipeg man, whose latest string of victims includes a police officer who investigated his earlier crimes.

“He essentially continued (offending) unabated,” Crown attorney Brett Rach told provincial court Judge Malcolm McDonald at a sentencing hearing Friday. “It caused more than a nuisance to these victims — it caused them to fear for their safety.”

Beaton pleaded guilty to 14 charges of criminal harassment, sending indecent communications and breaching court orders for a campaign of harassment waged between 2015 and 2025.

A clear example of doing things right

Editorial 4 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

This week’s re-opening of a temporary emergency department in the flood-damaged Dauphin Regional Health Centre was described by government officials as a “monumental team effort.” It was certainly that, but the story about how the ER was restored so quickly is so much more.

Initial reports suggested it would take months, if not an entire year, to restore the health centre to full operation after severe flooding in late June. Storm water had completely flooded the basement of the hospital, damaging power and HVAC systems, rendering the facility uninhabitable.

The Dauphin centre provides primary care to more than 45,000 people in the Parkland region. The prospect that it would have to remain closed to patients for up to a year enraged local residents and put the provincial NDP government on the hot seat.

On a visit to the damaged facility in mid-July, Premier Wab Kinew said that a year delay in re-opening of the facility was “unacceptable.” He and Health Minister Uzoma Asagwara both pledged to expedite repairs as much as humanly possible. The premier doubled down on that pledge in mid-August, when he said that ER services would be restored to Dauphin by Labour Day on Sept. 7.

Transit safety drives first mayoral debate

Morgan Modjeski 4 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

The safety of Winnipeg Transit drivers was front and centre Monday as the first mayoral debate of the 2026 election focused on public transit.

Kevin Klein, the most experienced of the 10 candidates at the Amalgamated Transit Union 1505-hosted debate, said the time for partial safety shields has passed.

“The partial shields have failed drivers. That’s why we need change,” the former PC MLA and city councillor said, adding driver safety is not a staffing issue, but a “protection failure.”

If elected, Klein said he will bring in full-shield implementation across the city within two years and start a nine-bus pilot project immediately.
