Incumbents are hard to beat in Winnipeg, sadly. I've got my eye on the council races - lots of change about to happen in many wards as incumbents step down. Also intently watching my St.James ward - it's very likely the incumbent will lose. Which ones are you watching? #wpgpoli
Gillingham's team calls out Klein's amateur hour blunder with his social media ad displaying Edmonton as Winnipeg. For someone who touts "Facts Matter" - Winnipeggers need to see that a leader (and their team) can get things right. #wpgpoli #winnipegelection
Still not sure how I feel about this time change. Have to change my clocks to go to the lake for the weekend and 2x to get to my business in Thunder Bay.
Psychological intimidation is a tactic Wab uses consistently in the house. He's actually quite good at it... And that should concern people. #mbpoli

Zero details given but I won't be enforcing this as a parent. I will however, continue to teach, guide, & monitor my kids behaviour to use social media & AI for their benefit to learn & connect. As individuals, we need to learn discipline & control of our actions & surroundings.

For an organisation like Siloam to go "media silent" is a big deal. This is unusual and a sign of major problems. If I were a board member, I'd be seriously concerned right now about this spiralling further out of control. #winnipeg

Despite some of the highest equalization increases, the MB govt still cannot balance the books. $1b more expected in this budget and still projecting a $500b deficit #mbpoli
No pressure Madan. It's not like anyone is expecting you to be productive for that salary...it's funny/sad - another not so thought out "plan" by the MB govt.

Hold CRA to same standards imposed on people who owe - my reassessment notice came, 2 weeks to reply, owing bill came within days. Tried calling CRA lately? Disaster over there.
Taxpayers complain of long waits for CRA to fix its errors, deliver refunds share.google/MCS2WX5uPKiZT6L…
For those who are afraid 15 min cities destroy choice & limit freedoms..You need to get out more. It's about creating more choice & amenities close to you, not less

Happy to hear this. This place is such an eyesore and blight on the neighbourhood in its current form. No alcohol will be served in the refurbished hotel and the vendor will be a restaurant. Should be good for the #westendwpg

My kids and I were just commenting the other day how much we really like the look of these lights on Portage Ave while driving past them. Terrible idea to replace them with an ugly metal poles #winnipeg
Light posts a triumph of utility over beauty

What do these look like? It's a number you don't recognize (here-250 area code & listed as West Kootenay Landscaping) and they provide a website link that is not the real one. You can always check the REAL website first if you are unsure (I entered in the ticket #, doesn't exist)
Quick little trip to the UK and here's a short list of what I'll miss most returning to #winnipeg in no particular order:
1. Rivers are for the people. Huge sections of the Thames are for public enjoyment.
2. Standing pubs on streetside & takeaway beers. /1
3. Small store frontages. It makes things so much more interesting, safer feeling and vibrant.
4. Tap on & off transit payments on the tube and busses
5. Controlled tipping & tax included in the price. It is out of hand here
6. Walking culture. It's a pain to drive in London /2
