Mayor’s Office. I used to be interesting here, but now I’m not. Then again, this used to be an interesting place, and now…(gestures wildly with his hands)

I honestly don't think Kevin Klein even realizes when he's lying now. It's happens so easily for him.

A 60-year-old man bragging about once being a finalist, not even a winner, for a top 40 under 40 competition is sad.

A bit rich coming from the guy who voted against pursuing the legal action that recovered $30 million. The inquiry commissioner praised the elected officials who fought to get that money back. Klein wasn’t one of them.

Premier Kinew called it a “total catastrophe,” and the new inquiry report shows why. Winnipeg taxpayers were overcharged by $43.3 million on the police HQ, a project that came in $74 million over budget and two years late. The report has 25 recommendations. Winnipeggers deserve a City Hall that acts on them and is open about how every dollar is spent. It’s time for change. Vote Kevin Klein on October 28.

Clock is ticking for a Hellebucyk-Buffalo trade, but a second line of Perfetti - Bjorck - Quinn might actually be pretty good. Even if Viggo isn't ready yet, Perfetti (playmaker) and Quinn (shooter) would complement each other.

I’m 10 minutes into a high school convocation and how have we not figured out how to make these things any less painful over the last century?

Which is why we should be selling everything that is willing to move.

If ever there were a summer to be a seller, the one where the cap soars while the UFA market is horrendous sure seems like it

Today's news makes my Jets - Red Wings mega-trade even more interesting: To Detroit: Connor Scheifele Hellebuyck To Winnipeg: Cossa Sandin-Pellikka Danielson Kasper Brandsegg-Nygård Tell me that's not a fun deal...

Then pair that with this: To San Jose: Morrissey #8 pick 2027 2nd round pick To Winnipeg: #2 pick #20 pick Igor Chernyshov Pick Stenberg at #2, and use the $30M in cap room to have fun with UFAs, RFAs, or picking up crappy contracts from other teams in return for picks.

Update: It’s believed St Louis/Buffalo went the distance on Thomas trade talks. Sounds like the Sabres aren’t willing to part with the necessary pieces. (Prospects, Player, 1st). Still teams nibbling, but the Blues are firm in what the return needs to be for the young center.

correlation i have observed: the most talented people i know (who also happen to be high agency) have the shittiest workflow organization - no notion organization hell, usually messy apple notes and google docs - regular users of pen and paper - no superhuman or fancy email

For anyone curious, there is actual data on this. For every 100 new market rate units, nearly 70 units become available to below median income households, 31 of which are in the bottom quintile (!). tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

Supply Skepticism Revisited

Although “supply skeptics” claim that new housing supply does not slow growth in rents, our review of rigorous recent studies finds that: (a) increases in housing supply reduce rents or slow the gr...

New housing is expensive and not affordable to the poor. But the people who can afford to live in the new building vacate their old home, which is affordable. The affordability benefits of new housing are indirect.
