🚨 Delitos y seguridad pública

  1. Arrestan en el norte de Manitoba a sospechoso de intento de asesinato buscado en Ontario. La Policía Regional de Peel informó que Nakeem Jamar Johnson, de 36 años, buscado por una orden de arresto del 3 de febrero de 2022, fue detenido el 22 de septiembre en Cross Lake, a unos 530 km al norte de Winnipeg; en las redadas de 2023 en el GTA se incautaron cinco armas de fuego y alrededor de 10 kg de metanfetamina, indicó la policía.
  2. La junta de libertad condicional revoca la liberación estatutaria del asesino convicto Shawn Lamb. La Junta de Libertad Condicional de Canadá devolvió a la custodia a Shawn Lamb, de 66 años, tras concluir que violó condiciones luego de una sentencia de 20 años impuesta en noviembre de 2013 por dos condenas por homicidio involuntario; la junta señaló que su conducta se deterioró en marzo de 2026 y que había empezado actividades de “voluntariado” sin supervisión ni apoyo de agencia.
  3. Escuela abandonada en Peguis destruida por incendio. Una escuela abandonada en la Peguis First Nation, en la región de Interlake de Manitoba, quedó calcinada (fecha consignada en el artículo); el edificio estaba desocupado al momento del siniestro y los equipos de emergencia acudieron al lugar en Peguis First Nation, según el informe.

💼 Economía y negocios

  1. Alcaldes estadounidenses instan a los habitantes de Manitoba a retomar viajes transfronterizos tras fuerte caída. El alcalde de Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, y el alcalde de Fargo, Josh Boschee, invitaron públicamente a los canadienses a regresar, después de que los cruces Pembina–Emerson registraran una caída del 35% en 2025 frente a 2024, halló la Oficina de Transporte de EE. UU.; datos de Statistics Canada citados indican 3 millones de canadienses que regresaron desde EE. UU. en enero de 2025 frente a 2.3 millones en enero de 2026.
  2. Suben los salarios mínimos en cinco provincias; Manitoba sube a $16.40 (dólares canadienses). Estos aumentos provinciales entran en vigor en esta ronda en Ontario ($17.95), P.E.I. ($17.30), Nueva Escocia ($17.00), Manitoba ($16.40) y Saskatchewan ($15.70), según el informe.
  3. Manitoba prohíbe notas médicas por ausencias cortas a partir del jueves. Las nuevas normas impiden que los empleadores pidan documentación médica por ausencias de una semana o menos, o de 10 días o menos en un año calendario; Doctors Manitoba describió los límites de Manitoba como las “normas más claras y fuertes en Canadá”.
