Tomorrow I will wake up and still be a Winnipeg Jets fan. But for the rest of the night…

Merry Christmas everyone! With a family like this, every day is a gift.

Operation Red Nose Winnipeg is suspending service tonight. (I'm their media liaison.) We should be back up and running ... er, driving tomorrow. (Myself included!) Please share this to let Winnipeggers who were hoping for a ride tonight know. Email I just sent to media attached.

Sigh. Dumb penalty there.

Two weeks from tomorrow, I am once again playing trivia master at the Getaway Cafe. Come end the year on a high note with GC Holiday Trivia! Register here: getawaycafe.ca/events/trivi...

Thinking a lot lately about the teachers in Alberta who are struggling. I hope that colleagues in @albertateachers.bsky.social know that they have support from us in Manitoba. #StandWithATA @mbteachers.bsky.social

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

die-hard | adjective | strongly or fanatically determined or devoted Die Hard | noun | a Christmas movie

We're kicking off the new year with purpose! Join me, virtually, for a "Tech Check" in January. December gets busy so make sure you register today so you don't miss out! #MERLIN_MB

It starts. #backyardrink #ItsColdOutThere

Sigh. I think the rest of the league has the Jets figured out while the Jets have nothing figured out. I feel bad for the new kid between the pipes.

One weekend and I’m already 25% towards my goal of raising $250 to support men’s health! Please support my Movember fundraiser: movember.com/m/jonwaite?m...

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Our Westjet raffle is in 14 hours, and I'd be remiss if I didn’t draw this to your attention: right now, one ticket gives you one-in-270 chance of winning (think of the chances if you buy multiples!) Support employment inclusion here!

Movember is the leading charity changing the face of men's health, and this Movember I'm joining them. Together we can make a difference for men's health – in prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention. Help me stop men dying too young.

Happy Halloween! We hope everyone has a safe and fun night tonight. This was us at our regular trivia night last night. #IYKYK #Oceanic815

Blue Jay Ben Houstie ~ Heiltsuk 2024

Former Free Press reporter Nick Martin, who wrote the monthly suspense column in the books section and was prolific in his standalone reviews of mystery/thriller novels, died Oct. 15 at age 77 while on holiday in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Could you live in a perpetual state of crisis? Latest @winnipegfreepress.com column www.winnipegfreepress.com/local/2025/1...

RIP. Nick was one of the best reporters the Freep ever had. His education reporting was excellent.

For Cybersecurity Awareness Month, we asked some of our MERLIN staff to share their biggest password pet peeves. These everyday habits can open the door to major risks. Strong, unique passwords keep our classrooms and campuses secure. 🔐 #WhoWeAreWednesday #MERLIN_MB

On Friday, I was fortunate to be able to attend smudge ceremonies at École Ste. Anne Immersion and Ste. Anne Elementary. Seine River is lucky to have elder Eric Flett and Indigenous Education consultant Chantelle Desorcy working closely with staff and students every day.

Today, SRTA members, along with students and staff in Seine River, are wearing orange to honour residential school survivors. As educators, we move forward on paths of reconciliation through our actions and words, for as long as the sun shines, the grass grows, and the river flows. #OrangeShirtDay

It really feels like this @tsnofficial.bsky.social broadcast is a Calgary regional. Very slanted, but that’s par for the course for this network. I think this might be the last game I watch on TSN.

What perfect album came out when you were 16?

Happy Canada Day from @princessauto.bsky.social Stadium!

Last week I was honoured to attend the graduation ceremony at the Ste. Anne Adult Learning Centre. It is always a highlight of my year to see these wonderful learners be recognized for completing their mature diploma program. Congrats to the graduates and thanks to their teachers!

Another MTS AGM in the books, and I am ready to get back to my house, my family, and my friends. I gave it my best shot and it didn’t go my way, but that’s democracy.
