In this #Winnipeg weekend with temperatures soaring hug your trees a little tighter today. Thank you @treespleasewpg.bsky.social, @treeswinnipeg.bsky.social and all those who piped up. Thanks @doubleemmartin.bsky.social for circling back to this story. www.winnipegfreepress.com/local/2026/0...

Marcy Lowe: “No automotive technology can fully address the negative social consequences of a car-dominated society. … The challenge of creating an alternative transport future is ultimately a political one.”

As we head into the next municipal election, there are some qualities that are sorely needed on city council: Empathy & Imagination. #winnipeg #wpgpoli #yyc #yyccc open.substack.com/pub/brianpin...

BREAKING: US to withdraw from the International Court of Poetic Justice.

“SIGNIFICANT” Bob Bowman has witnessed and coached many athletes to world records. But Summer McIntosh’s 200m butterfly world record felt a little different for the legendary coach. McIntosh took it down. Bowman took it all in. My @cbcsports story: www.cbc.ca/sports/olymp...

Canadian Bluesky-ers: has anyone been insured for housing via Sandbox Mutual Insurance? If so, what's your experience like so far?

“How much is a magical world worth?” A beautiful thread about Cabo Verde, the Peace Corps, and the World Cup:

Obituary: ‘Renegade’ family physician Dr. Michael Klein fought to demedicalize childbirth. He aimed to stop overuse of invasive procedures like episiotomies and cesarean sections, and promoted midwifery, by @picardonhealth.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic... via @theglobeandmail.com

Canada lost to Morocco 3-0 after a great first half, and their World Cup is over. And as far as Canada came in a run to the round of 16, what you saw was a young football country, with so many deficiencies compared to elite nations, and so much room to grow. www.thestar.com/sports/socce...

New from me. Mark Carney’s Oprah giveaway day, and a vexing question: if a new pipeline is a money-printing machine, why does no private company want to build it so that taxpayers have to? #cdnpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/opi...

« Dans la logique carneysienne, c’est la lutte contre les changements climatiques qui est un "objectif à court terme", alors que sa propre vision du développement économique du Canada [est] "viable à long terme". On a affaire à une fabuleuse inversion des termes » www.ledevoir.com/opinion/chro...

After a year of outreach and major government support, there’s still no private proponent for a new west coast pipeline. No private proponent? That signals: no business case. #abpoli #cdnpoli Our oil and gas expert explains on @bloomberg.com 🎙️👇

Happy Independence Day to my American friends. You freed yourselves from the tyranny of cask ales, Sunday roasts at the pub, and scones with clotted cream and strawberries. Well done. That would have been awful. Close call. 😐

A Pipeline to Nowhere: Carney’s Dangerous Political Game A viable project or a costly political fantasy? @amyjanzwood @mcgillu @markjcarney markhamhislop.substack.com/p/a-pipeline...

Alberta and Ottawa said any new pipeline would be privately funded. Today that promise was broken: a private company will cover just 10%. Taxpayers will front up tens of billions of dollars. If oil exports are such an economic opportunity for Canada, why won’t companies invest? buff.ly/Ao6yGt3

The private sector isn’t going to pay for a new oil pipeline or the production to fill it. ❌💰 With planned tune-ups of existing pipes, capacity is well above planned production increases. 📈 This pipeline is about politics — not economics. #cdnpoli #abpoli

Welcome to our climate changed world.

“The city’s transition away from the car, tho fantastically chaotic, has become a global role model. Under mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social, Paris was ‘the most influential city in the world’ says Canadian urbanist Brent Toderian. Hidalgo, stepping down after 12 yrs, exulted: ‘The bike beat the car.’”

Hard to believe I wrote this a month ago. Since, open drug use has been "targeted". Yet, paramedics are still a daily occurrence on my block, residents are still administering naloxone, the despair continues. You can't "enforce" your way out of a crisis! #winnipeg open.substack.com/pub/brianpin...

The cognitive dissonance of a country facing repeated climate crises that abandons minimal climate action is . . . woof.

As someone in this picture I find it a little odd that @natureportfolio.nature.com chose this image to illustrate the point. We were very careful when choosing a slogan for our signs that it be scientificly defenceable. "Science says New Oil & Gas = Death" is a plain statement of fact 🧵

I’m asking for your support, so I can keep fighting for Somerset Ward and a city that leaves no one behind. I don’t take money from developers, and our campaign is fueled entirely by grassroots people power. Donate here, so I can hit the ground running: www.troster2026.ca/donate Thank you 🩷

bus lanes improve accessibility! paratransit vehicles like this one move faster, which is critical as paratransit riders already face longer trip times than those who can use conventional transit. bus lanes also reliably provide a clear curb to deploy a ramp anywhere, unimpeded by street parking.

Today's the day candidates begin registering for election in #winnipeg. So far 3 sitting cllrs have decided that time is up. What we need is real leadership for our city. We are too quick to accept mediocrity. Looking forward to a better conversation! #wpgpoli open.substack.com/pub/brianpin...

Sory Mr. Carney. Unless - for the sake of greed and short-term profit - you desire to incinerate the planet, they absolutely are. #EndFossilFuels
