    • Overblown or on the money? Winnipeg reacts to proposed property assessments
      Feb 4 2026

      Do you know how much your house is worth?


      Over the last few weeks, the City of Winnipeg mailed out 200,000 proposed property assessment letters for the 2027 tax year.


      Some residents say they’ve been caught off guard by big increases to the assessed value of their homes, saying they're concerned about potentially higher property taxes.


      Today, we unpack the high valuations, how the calculation is made and the process for contesting a city assessment, and hear what Winnipeggers think.

    • Manitoba PC voters say their party is at a crossroads
      Jan 30 2026

      Earlier this month, the Manitoba Progressive Conservatives distanced themselves from board member Patrick Allard over social media comments he made after a woman was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis.


      PC Leader Obby Khan denounced Allard's post and said his statements don't reflect the values of the PC Party. He also said Allard will not be a PC candidate in the upcoming election, and the party's board decided to suspend Allard's party membership and his position on the board.


      Allard condemned the move, saying the party is turning its back on its conservative base.


      Today, we hear from three different PC voters across the province. They share their thoughts on whether the move to suspend Allard was reasonable, and whether the party reflects their values anymore.

    • What Winnipeg can learn from Calgary’s massive water main break
      Jan 23 2026

      Flooded streets, stranded motorists, boil water advisories and directions to conserve water — Calgarians saw another catastrophic water main break late last month, the second in less than two years.


      Restrictions have now been lifted, but Calgary’s mayor says it’s a wake-up call, alerting the city that repairs to the aging infrastructure aren't adequate, and it’s time for a long-term solution.


      But underneath the streets of Winnipeg, there are many pipes of the same age and material as the one that broke in Calgary. So should we be worried? CBC’s Cameron MacLean explains how vulnerable our water system really is.
