Reading the CBC article I was thinking what the hell does MAGAbuycks wife have to do with any of those? Not disputing that might have received some shitty DMs or something, but c'mon Connor you're just going to use her like a human shield and not address the concern? Masterclass in media training.
Feels a little on the nose for #Winnipeg right now. 😬
Proposal to reduce Winnipeg’s default 50 km/h speed limit advances. We need to keep our eye on the prize. 30 kph is the true "safe speed." It is true that “it takes… seconds more to go 40 versus 50." Is also only takes seconds to go 30 as well. @safespeedswpg.bsky.social t.ly/-1Etq
Gutless moves from some of our councilor's at Public Works day. The inconvenience of drivers is more important to them than the lives of vulnerable road users. 30 seconds is more important than one soul. This really hurts. Wellington cr. pilot could have happened in a few months but oh no.
Advocating for safer streets is characterized as "radical" from two #winnipeg city councillors who are both well beyond the Best Before Date.
you know this council isn't used to an engaged and informed segment of the citizenry, holding them accountable, when they resort to name calling.
If only our controlled news media could frame incorrect statements from either ignorant or willingly incompetent City Councillors like this, maybe we could actually get traction on changes for the greater good
Does the guy even look at the public engagement his public service takes on? A large amount of people beyond the "all-powerful bike lobby" are in favour of these types of changes.
Our lives are expendable. City hall doesn't care.
These bike lanes are ready to install. They were ready to install *LAST YEAR*. Any further delay is unconscionable.
I don't see this as anything but an intentional pre-election move. The community has requested a permanent solution for 15+ years. The pilot was already delayed from 2025 to 2026 and now this is going to upend the pilot entirely. They're doing everything they can to do NOTHING.
I hope whenever Jack “just an athlete” Hughes or any other Team USA player goes to charitable events or engages in their own advocacy (in Jack’s case, LGBTQ+ and Pride campaigns), that someone follows them around with a picture of them shaking hands with Trump and his tiny little thumbs up pose
When Kyle Connor does his charity work for Parkinson’s, someone should ask how the Trump Administration’s 40% decrease in funding, cutting or freezing thousands of research grants to universities, hospitals, and laboratories, has affected the community around the disease
The same people who didn’t want to answer questions on the record about events in Minnesota because they don’t want to add fuel to the fire and want privacy, are the same ones willingly detouring from returning to their NHL clubs just to be used as political props for an administration of imbeciles
Hopefully this is the last 3v3 elimination game was ever see in Olympic hockey. Essentially a coinflip of if a puck bounce creates an 2on1, cheapens the gravity of the game and the medal.
Sad
They do not care about our safety. It is more important to them that drivers are not inconvenienced than it is that people get around safely. This is the evidence.
Creating a city where kids can safely walk, bike to school

My heart hurts for those only 8 hrs south of us. Two people executed by US gestapo. Fascism levels increasing. It's terrible.
They are so far gone.
At this point I wonder if these old evil people running the world want to burn all the fossil fuels as quickly as possible to bring about the end of us.
As someone with a newborn, while I've googled many many things so far (and avoid their Gemini AI bullshit), I have not and do not see any need to use ChatGPT. There's a wealth of knowledge online about raising a baby, I don't need an LLM to hallucinate that stuff for me.
It's good but so damn late to the game. Chicago started using debit/credit tap in 2013 (first adopter in US). Winnipeg implemented the broken Peggo system in 2016. We're consistent at being laggards and doing things half-assed.
if you've ever met a kid then you know they are predictably unpredictable so expecting them to behave perfectly is the most ridiculous approach to road safety - honestly just think about it.
A single vehicle parked on a broad, four lane road
This is currently the only car parked on all of Wellington Cres between Academy and Stradbrook, in case you’re wondering how well-used is the parking we’re currently afraid will be sacrificed to make sure cyclists aren’t.
Maybe Tim should've left the movie prop at the VSA. He should be charged for putting a 70 year old can of soup within arms reach of his father. #JusticeforG
