Two events at the Manitoba legislature have been cancelled this year due to fears for the safety of politicians, visitors and staff
Two long-standing events at the Manitoba legislature that allow members of the public nearly unfettered access to the historic building during the holiday season have been cancelled this year partly due to security concerns.
“Significant construction on the property and security matters raised safety concerns for managing potentially thousands of visitors to the building in a short period of time,” Don Leitch, clerk of the executive council, said in a written statement Thursday.The event was put on hold for the last two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions on public gatherings. Those restrictions were removed earlier this year.
Even before the encampments and blockades, security inside the building had been tightened and some entryways were closed.

Developing Canada's critical minerals crucial for national securityIt may not be readily apparent, but critical minerals are essential for a wide variety of goods that Canadians enjoy everyday. Critical minerals can be found in most consumer electronics, semiconductors, critical infrastructure, defence, security, and space-based technologies and systems. Critical minerals also play a significant role in renewable energy and clean technology, such as advanced batteries, magnets, wind turbines, solar panels, and modular reactors. Given Canada’s deep expertise in mining and manufacturing ingenuity, as well as our plentiful natural resources, we are very well positioned to lead in the critical minerals sector across myriad parts of the value chain. In the current international security environment, however, it is becoming increasingly clear that critical minerals are not solely a significant economic opportunity for Canada, they are also integral to our national security and the security of our allies. This is particularly apparent in light of the emerging continental defence challenges that Canada and the United States are facing together. Canada and the U.S. have a close and interdependent relationship, including shared culture, economic, political, and national security and defence interests. This defence and national security interdependence accelerated after the Second World War, including the integration of our defence industrial bases to the extent that Canada’s defence industrial base is considered vital to America’s national security. Our shared role in defending the maritime and aerospace approaches to North America through NORAD was vital to our national security during the Cold War and is seeing a renewed sense of urgency in the face of state-based threats. As new threats emerge in the form of new hypersonic weapons and advanced cruise missiles, the modernization of continental defence has become a greater priority for Canada and the U.S. This means investing in new radar systems, space systems, communications systems, g
