Manitoba implements new sales rules for machetes and long-blade weapons to combat violence.

Effective today, Manitoba has implemented new rules for selling machetes and long-blade weapons. Retailers must store these items out of reach from shoppers and sell only to adults with valid photo ID, keeping records for two years. Hedge trimmers, pruning shears, and saws are exempt. The regulations follow violent attacks in Winnipeg, and the province has asked online retailers to comply as well.
