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 judge has thrown out a class-action lawsuit that sought damages for certain grain farmers in relation to the end of the Canadian Wheat Board monopoly by the federal government.

It’s the last of extensive litigation over the dissolution of the board.

Manitoba Court of King’s Bench Justice Chris Martin, in a decision this month, dismissed farmer Edward Andrew Dennis’s 2017 civil claim against the federal attorney general and G3 Global Grain Group, the successor to the wheat board.

The wheat board was created in 1935 as a voluntary marketing program and transformed into a compulsory marketing agency in which farmers were required to sell their wheat and barley to it.
