WINNIPEG — A day before the legislative session ends, the NDP government introduced a bill to ensure landlords can’t charge tenants backpay for approved above-guideline rent increases.

Bill 59, the Residential Tenancies Amendment Act (2), would prohibit a landlord who has applied for a rent increase above the maximum permitted by regulation from charging tenants the new rate until it is approved.

Premier Wab Kinew announced earlier this month that renters would not have to pay the increases until the provincial Residential Tenancies Branch hears landlords’ arguments and issues its decisions.

“We recently passed legislation in the house to make sure life will be more affordable,” Kinew said at a news conference on Oct. 20, referring to a new rent bill introduced in March and expected to become law before the session ends today. He was flanked by Winnipeg tenants facing rent increases of more than 50 per cent.

WINNIPEG — Scott Gillingham won the mayoral election Wednesday night, securing a second term while political newcomers won or led about half of the races for councillor.

Gillingham had 39.7 per cent of all votes Wednesday evening with virtually all polling locations reporting unofficial results, followed by Kevin Klein (20.7 per cent), Noah Redden (19.9 per cent) and Mike Vogiatzakis (9.7 per cent) in a field of 12 candidates.

Kevin Klein conceded defeat in a speech to campaign volunteers and supports, marking his second consecutive loss in a Winnipeg mayoral race.

The other candidates were Mazher Alam, Johnny Calderon, Chris Clacio, Tracey Drexler, Brad Gross, Umar Hayat, Joshua Pagdato and Don Woodstock.

WINNIPEG — Manitoba’s police watchdog has authorized charges against a Portage la Prairie RCMP officer who allegedly hit and injured a man on a bicycle with his police cruiser.

The Independent Investigation Unit of Manitoba announced two charges against RCMP Const. Wail Mohamed after launching an investigation in March 2025, the IIU said in a news release Monday.

Mohamed is facing one count of operating a conveyance in a dangerous manner to the public and one count of assault with a weapon.

On March 26, 2025, Mounties saw two people matching the description of suspects from a previous criminal incident, the release stated. As one officer spoke with a woman, Mohamed saw a man leave on a bicycle, the IIU said.

WINNIPEG — A Winnipeg woman who helped dispose the body of a slain Mexican man under threat of death from his killers has been ordered to serve another 8½ months in jail.

Devlin Langlois, 25, had pleaded guilty to accessory after the fact to murder in the March 2025 killing of 28-year-old Diego Moscoza in a Selkirk Avenue house.

Court of King’s Bench Justice Candace Grammond, in a written ruling delivered Friday, rejected a recommendation by Langlois’s lawyer Joshua Rogala that she be sentenced to the equivalent of nearly 16 months of time served.

Grammond said she accepted that Langlois feared for her life. However, she made no effort to help Moscoza when he was gravely injured and his killers were not present in the home and had not yet threatened her.
