It’s too bad Pillion is already gone from theatres in Winnipeg but I still recommend seeing it

Fuck Canadaland, gave up on it years ago because of Jesse's racist bullshit

ya the article could have been so superficial but really got into it, impressive!

How A Campy 1970s Game Show Became Part Of Canada's National Lexicon | Defector On tiny Hornby Island northwest of Vancouver, after the Women’s World Cup in the summer of 2015, our bed-and-breakfast host was telling us about the town. The pizza place in the park is terrific, he s...

I only learned today that “what a gong show” etc isn’t well-known in USA

#Winnipeg city councillors will say the dumbest shit imaginable to people who come to talk with them in good faith and then have the gall to say that delegations are being disrespectful when they calmly respond "but sir, what you just said is incongruent with the law, common-sense, and REALITY"

it still uses an incredibly dated web technology from the 90s called “frames”, bizarre choice

But an improvement nonetheless

I passed on this initially because I felt At Capacity for podcasts, but now that I’m listening, it‘s relentlessly relevant, sometimes uncomfortably so, I highly recommend.

The people outside of a country that they left for whatever reasons should not be listened to over the people who still live in said country. *Exile* politics is always fraught. Exiles have self-interests like everyone else.

To everyone who cheerleaded Carney's faux speech in Davos & posturing as independent middle power -

His atrocious statement today backing US-Israeli attacks on Iran make clear that he & Canada are firmly aligned with dominant imperial interests.

And he did so while shaking hands with Modi in India

BART proves that more policing =\= safer transit (or the perception of safety)

it's more overpoliced than TTC, but means nothing because the underlying issue is the bay has a more dystopian housing crisis, there is little shelter space, & public services (esp health) in the US is abysmally funded.

Still obsessed with this mix.

Play at loud volumes on a system with BASS!

they deleted it!

PegGuessr PegGuessr shows you drone photos taken over Winnipeg and challenges you to pinpoint exactly where they were taken on a map. How well do you know your city from the sky?

Hey #Winnipeg have you played pegguessr.fun?

Pinpoint the locations of drone shots of Peg city.

Also, many will argue that snow clearing, like Transit Plus, has gotten considerably worse since it much of it was outsourced. Snow clearing is a public service that impacts so many people. Maybe leaving these services up to the lowest bidder is a bad idea and we should bring them back in house.

As we have said and continue to say: the absolute vibe-based public safety conversation is not going to change until we get serious about social change: library-specific deescalation work and broader social interventions around housing, youth engagement, safe consumption, and accessible healthcare.

regardless of your stance on public consumption of illicit drugs, loose language legislation granting transit cops power to detain anyone they *believe* to be consuming drugs is very, very bad.

people are a little too trusting of the cops to discern who on a train looks like they're a "drug user"

Don’t give Winnipeg city council any ideas.

Them saying that in the headline made just write off the number entirely, like why would I trust that
