At a full day workshop today (Leadership Winnipeg with Wpg Chamber of Commerce & @volunteermb) - awesome so far! Sadly, however, I am the only one to stay in and work through lunch while everyone else has gone to eat out. Sigh. #notforprofitlife #artsadmin #artsadminlife

This is all just being said out loud now on the air on Fox “News”, instead of away from the cameras like before. That’s what’s changed. They’re testing the response and normalizing the idea at the same time.

It should not have to come to using the ward allowance to do this, but for once I support Eadie, as these encampments need more support. We have encampments all along St John's Park and across the river in Elmwood Park, and with the shooting in St John's Park earlier this month, folks are scared.
Mynarski Coun. Ross Eadie is prepared to exhaust his ward’s community fund to support St. Boniface Street Links in addressing the growing encampment issue in North Point Douglas.

“Fixing climate change is too expensive.”
Um no. What’s really expensive is doing nothing.
Climate disasters cost billions—and those costs are rising fast. Climate solutions save money and lives, as well as building a better world for us all 🌏💚

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

Dear @cityofwinnipeg.bsky.social Cathedral Ave between Main St & Scotia St was cleaned last night but this vehicle was not moved or towed and this spot missed. Also, they left a ridge of dirt the whole length of the street. Can this be re-cleaned please?

Hi once more, @cityofwinnipeg.bsky.social, the new concrete median on Matheson Ave at St Cross St has been destroyed during snow clearing this winter and these two new, huge concrete slabs are askew, leaving a gravel hole in the path pedestrians take to walk across the street on the east side.

Reminder that removing GST on a good that we both export and import, that is unreasonably tariffed in the United States is effectively getting a subsidy from ALL Canadian taxpayers for your personal car purchase.
Worse, it makes good on Trump's promise to "make other countries" pay.

Good morning, @cityofwinnipeg.bsky.social this road sign from the little median at Scotia St & Matheson Ave along the North Winnipeg Parkway has been knocked over sometime this winter. Can it please be put back up?

My smart watch just told me it has detected elevated stress levels and that I should try listening to some calming music (for which I need to subscribe, apparently). Gee thanks, tell me something I don't know already! Yes, it has been that kind of day...

You know which Canadian has done nothing useful to support Canada during Trump’s trade war crisis?
Pierre Poilievre.
Not surprising considering his record supporting Trump, MAGA & the extremist Trucker convoy, attacks on media, connection to Stephen Harper, and refusal to get a security clearance.
