Yes. Exactly. Couldn't have put it better myself.
Living in Winnipeg means saying “It’s going to get *really* cold this weekend” when it’s already -23 C.

My first @winnipegfreepress.com story for 2026 is about experiencing Manitoban winter as a newcomer. This was an eye-opening piece to work on and there's so much more I could've written. But for now here's a story of a lovely 8yo, and his wonderful family.

I mean we have one of the few remaining books sections in the country, featuring local reviewers and books. I reported on local writing all year, both in my section and in arts and life, including a roundup on 10 notable local books from 2025 (which could have easily been 20) running Monday. 🤷

Free Press arts and life reporter here 👋

Just checked our back-end stats and we published more than 1,000 local arts stories this year. Our landing page is full of current local arts stories.

This is inaccurate and, frankly, hurtful.
