Coun. Scott Gillingham is not running for PC leader, his campaign says.
It’s still a two-person race: Stefanson and Glover.
Gillingham blames the tight timelines for getting out.
Gillingham on the PCs: “It has become clear to me and to others that my party…has become oblivious, indifferent or even contemptuous when it comes to the advice, the experience and the partnership offered by local officials, local communities and local leaders across Manitoba…
… regardless of their party affiliation or what community they're from.

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, speaking in Winnipeg at Sinclair Park, is announcing a rebate to help first-time home-buyers.

He says he wants to “get big money out of housing.”
Singh has not costed this promise. More to come later.
Lighthearted moment at Sinclair Park as city contractor Reimer Soils drops a load of earth at the corner of Machray and Arlington.

A series of loud … slow … bangs.

This couple did everything right: They brought a GPS beacon on their trip and used it when their canoe was damaged. cbc.ca/news/canada/ma…
Compare and contrast to the Germans who got into trouble on the same river five years ago:

They paddled in a boat that could not survive the Hayes River.

They did not take a GPS beacon or satellite phone along.
There are “purists” who claim those devices spoil the wilderness experience.

That is nonsense.

If you’re going somewhere where you know you could not extract yourself if your gear fails or you become injured, then you take a communications device.
