in Winnipeg, they're replacing one in a suburb (very easy to get to) with one outside the city where there is no public transport at all
I genuinely recommend “urbanist Costco” in my tips for anyone going to Vancouver. Does indeed break many American brains.
And the thing that breaks many a brains - a Costco underneath a building right in the neighbourhood (terrible picture but you can look it up)

Powerful questioning from my colleague @elliechowns.bsky.social, pinning the government on exactly what it needs to do - NOW - to bring about an end to the atrocities being committed in Sudan.
In the midst of horrific mass killings and violence, British-made military equipment has been found in Sudan.
It's clear our arms export licensing system is not fit for purpose; we need a full review, alongside an embargo on all arms exports to the UAE now.
