What kind of jobs? Black market water suppliers? Candle makers? Snake oil salesmen?

Pretty sure we're 10 posts away from making "Winnipeg Tornado Warnings" trend

Beep beep! Who's there? Tornado alert! Tornado alert who? Beep beep! Who's there? Another tornado alert! Another tornado alert who? Beep beep! Who's there? Yet another tornado alert! Yet another tornado alert who? Beep beep! OMG!! Who's there? I'm the original tornado alert. What's your problem?

"Bike to work, it'll be fun they said", she thought as she swam home

What if the tornado warnings never stop? Is this our lives now?

When there actually is a tornado in the Winnipeg area, no one will believe it until a house falls on top of them like in the Wizard of Oz

We don't even have food and housing for all

I'll vote for any mayoral candidate who talks about the second graph the way all of the other candidates will talk about the first graph

Imagine if in Feb 2025, you got to glimpse this future headline. But if instead of Carney, it said Canadian Prime Minister. And then finding out which candidate won that election and pulled this bullshit 16 months later... globalnews.ca/news/1187177...

Not that I have any use for Manitoba's PC party, but if they were to propose this exact thing, a lot more people would have very strong concerns about this

I'm sure it's a great sign that we are now "both sides"ing medical test results. Looking forward to seeing this mutate into folks testing "mostly negative" for infectious diseases.

Ngl, I am a lot more concerned about the vibe coded slop that keeps getting poured into Windows 11 than some code from the 1990s that has been working for the last 30 years. Like you goofs can't even make a working email client anymore www.pcworld.com/article/3133...

Not a lawyer...but pretty sure it's not illegal to be a drunk passenger. The only mistake they made was getting into a vehicle with a driver who had been drinking www.ctvnews.ca/winnipeg/art...

Social media companies will ban all Manitobans if there is a chance of being fined thousands, let alone billions lol

You guys, we solved the tax problem in Manitoba! Who needs tax revenue from candy, or rotisserie chicken, or gas - or anything really when we can just fine Facebook for BILLIONS of dollars?!! www.winnipegfreepress.com/arts-and-lif...

And how many billions are we spending to support public transit, active transportation, moving away from fossil fuels because they are vulnerable to the current sort of situations, etc? ... ... Ah well, guess it'll be cheaper this summer to flee from those "unstoppable" forest fires

When you buy prepared food at the grocery store, no one asks for a tip. But not sure the restaurant lobby wants to go there... www.winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/anal...

School of Leaves

Oh, cool - the NDP is helping to combat phone spam.... ...Oh nevermind, they are giving taxpayer money to a company run by MB Conservatives so insurance companies can more easily use AI to spam my phone. Lovely. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

As a pedestrian, it takes close to 90 seconds just to cross the intersection at Academy (at Maryland bridge) at any time day or night to continue walking or running on Wellington Crescent

It is a little funny to me that the "island" in question is Newfoundland. Like BBC, my friends, it's significantly larger than Ireland. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Going to a measles super-spreader event...in this economy?

1.2 km is huge? Even in terms of the full street length (~6km), calling it huge makes little sense. Unless you mean the width of this stretch, which god forbid we reallocate even temporarily to make it safer for everyone...

One time I got some free lotto credit and I thought it would be fun to bet on a sports thing. I picked what I thought was the safest bet based on the odds (it was baseball, which I have zero concept of what teams are good). Anyhow turns out it was the bet least likely to pay out...

One of my most unpopular, yet entirely correct opinions is that the only way to "solve" the out of control price of groceries is for government to open grocery stores. All other measures inadvertently (or perhaps advertently) increase profits of the gougers www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Drivers be pulling guns on each other but cyclists can't even get the city to install some plastic sticks that have already been bought and are sitting in a warehouse

Siri, what does deadlocked mean? www.ctvnews.ca/winnipeg/art...

Exhibit 1837738 of why paying close attention to what Winnipeg city councillors say isn't really great for one's general well-being and mental health. Like if this makes any sense to you - you definitely need a hug.

Siri, is this how you do nation building?

More like speed up consultation to kick it even further down the road 🙄

verifyage ....... ....... ....... sudo verifyage

Not that we need any more takes on the US hockey grossness, but since I still haven't seen anyone point it out: if the US didn't score that tying goal and ended up losing - their bff Trump would be openly insulting them instead of giving them medals of freedom

My understanding is the very popular bike lanes that run on Westminster to Granite are classified as temporary. They aren't perfect, but they exist and have enabled many people (myself included) to get around by bike for the past 4 years. There is no magical permanent design that will please all

Gotta say though, whatever team that American goalie plays for must have won them like 4 Stanley Cups. Lucky them!

The only thing that can heal my heart is another season of Heated Rivalry, but more gay and with a little hockey boy who sees ghosts

I think there should be a separate Olympic event for Hockey Shootout

That feeling when you realise that you can get the same feeling by waking up early, ingesting too much caffeine, and thinking about your shitty ex while watching the Sixth Sense and thus don't need to limit it to once every 4 years

Just look at the photo and don't read the headline. Go Team Canada!

Olympic athletes taking extreme measures to win? Is this another story about ski jumpers injecting acid into their penises? Oh..nope. It's about wearing a mask in crowded spaces during an ongoing pandemic. What the actual fuck NPR.

Forbidden edamame

Elbows up...so that they don't get in the way of boot licking

Putting "CBS puts a cast of kidnapped presidents into the Big Brother house and it's the reality tv hit of the summer" on my 2026 bingo card

I got drunk and made 60 skeets while watching Wicked For Good. Because what better way to say goodbye to 2025

Tonight I finally got around to making mulled wine! Tonight I enjoyed about half a bottle of delicious mulled wine! Tonight I realised that I haven't really drank any alcohol in the last 4 years or so! So I'm a little drunk and I'm going to watch the Wicked Part 2 or whatever it is called.

Bluesky wrapped really captured my view of the main problem in Winnipeg and the rest of the world...

Maybe I'm hopelessly jaded these days, but my initial reaction is "Yeah, duh. It'd be so much easier to just charge everyone 23% more"

"Cars need to have the capability to go much faster than any legal speed limit because what if there's an emergency?" ....proceeds to completely box themselves in a car trap... "Ooohh new hamburgers!"

Kinda wild that you have to get past the headline, sub-headline, and to the end of the third paragraph before you find the buried lead. All these birds dropped dead from avian flu. I'm sure it's totally fine... www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

That orange glow is because the province is on fire 4 months per year. Thanks sell-outs!

Siri, what is a recession indicator?
