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.

Korchinski-Paquet's mother makes new allegation against police at coroner's inquest - CP24

Published: October 22, 2026 at 11:31a.m. EDTTORONTO — A coroner’s inquest into the death of Regis Korchinski-Paquet is scrambling to find a way forward after the Toronto woman’s mother unexpectedly made a new allegation against police officers during her testimony this morning. Korchinski-Paquet fell from her 24th-floor balcony in the late afternoon of May 27, 2020, while police officers were in the west-end apartment she shared with several family members. As she described her memories of that day, Claudette Beals told the inquest this morning that she saw officers push her daughter toward the balcony, prompting lawyers for several of the parties to raise concerns in the absence of the jury about previously undisclosed evidence. Among them were lawyers representing the officers at the scene, who said their clients weren’t given a chance to respond to the allegation when they testified earlier this week. The presiding coroner has called a recess so that counsel can discuss how to proceed.

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.
