It's cool that the people writing this don't know any Canadian History.
It's awesome that people haven't heard of the Winnipeg General Strike.
COOOL THING THAT PRESENT PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE HISTORY OF WHERE THEY LIVE.
I LOVE BEING ALIVE IN 2025

Preston Manning is really out here recreating the meme.
The only variation on the bit is he's more of a son of "the guy who did this" rather than being "the guy."
This is not to say he isn't very much a "the guy." Preston Manning is one of the active, quasi-sucssful, players in Canadian politics.

I partook in the dancing not too long after this video.
My partner was very patient with all the slipping and sliding I did.
Really regretting my choice of shoes.

Got chatting with the festival coordinator Wendy Duthe. She says 30% of volunteers didn't show for their shifts.
Duthe says this level of no-show isn't abnormal given the temperature.
What is new though, most of the no-shows are fire tenders!
