Winnipeg’s three leading mayoral candidates offered competing plans to address crime and community safety during a 680 CJOB debate Wednesday, while defending their ability to work with Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew and the federal government.

Incumbent Scott Gillingham, former provincial politician Kevin Klein and political newcomer Mike Vogiatzakis debated policing, bail reform, crisis response and their prospective relationships with other governments ahead of the Oct. 28 election. The debate was moderated by the News’ Richard Clotuier. Gillingham said that despite not agreeing with Kinew on all the issues, the two are able to work together. He pointed to his quarterly meetings with Kinew and his bail reform work on the federal level as examples of his efforts to work on Winnipeg-specific issues. Kevin Klein said that if elected, his past as a Progressive Conservative member of the provincial legislature and his columns on the Winnipeg Sun would not affect his relationship with the province.

Carney, Erdogan launch ‘strong and resilient’ Canada-Turkiye partnership - Al Jazeera

On trade, investment and innovation, leaders will work towards conclusion of a Canada-Turkiye Free Trade Agreement. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan have announced the launch of a Canada-Turkiye Strategic Partnership, backed by a three-year action plan. “In an increasingly complex global security environment, rising geopolitical uncertainties, and evolving humanitarian challenges, a strong and resilient Canada-Turkiye partnership is essential, providing a foundation to mitigate shared threats and capitalise on new opportunities,” said a statement by the two leaders on Thursday. This comes as Carney is on a two-day visit to Turkiye, seeking to forge a new partnership as Canada looks to reduce its dependence on the United States. The partnership’s three-year action plan rests on four pillars: trade and investment; defence and security; energy; and ties between people, the statement said. On trade, investment and innovation, the two leaders agreed to “work toward successful conclusion of a Canada-Turkiye Free Trade Agreement”, it said.

Open this photo in gallery:Alberta voters went to the polls on Monday and were asked 10 different questions. Jeff McIntosh/The Canadian PressMore of the constitutional questions in Alberta’s historic referendum have flipped to “no” with votes still being counted. Alberta voters went to the polls on Monday and were asked 10 different questions. The key question was on separation and roughly 75 per cent of votes backed staying in Canada, but it has taken longer to count votes on the nine other questions. Early results showed Albertans were in favour of proposals such as choosing their own judges, abolishing the Senate and changing the Constitution to boost provincial rights. But the “no” side pulled ahead Thursday as the counting continued. The “yes” side continued to lead on questions dealing with immigration, but the margins were tight. The Alberta referendum by the numbersAlberta Premier Danielle Smith had already claimed victory on the immigration questions, saying it appeared she was going to be given clear direction from voters to move ahead, although she hinted it could take some time for her government to act.
