Looking at this picture of Terry Fox - and that baby face. I didn't appreciate how young he was. He was only 22 when he had to stop his run.

Happy birthday to @drewdles.bsky.social, community builder, supporter and all around good person!

Typical economy seat pitch is 30" these days. It was about 32" 25 years ago, and 33-35" in the 80's. Seat reclining these days is a whole new conversation.

A few years ago I would have pressed on and attended folk fest on a day like today. I know now the tradeoff won't be worth it. My constitution isn't forgiving of this kind of heat and humidity.

It's good training for people who want to be good humans. ⬇️

I agree with this editorial but with comment on two things: I think "sober second thought" (with nudges) works better than "flip flop" in this instance. Secondly, I would call this responsive rather than reactive. www.winnipegfreepress.com/local/2026/0...

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...

You didn't have to coax the crowd to go after Coxie.

Breaking news - I’ve retired! Yes, after 41-plus years in journalism - 38 of them at the Winnipeg Free Press - I’ve retired. A thread…

July is Disability Pride Month in Canada! Celebrate the diversity, resilience, contributions, and achievements of people with disabilities. #DisabilityPrideMonth #DisabilityPride #Accessibility #Inclusion #Canada #DisabilityInclusion #DisabilitySky

Father John Misty. Beautiful, brutally dark, preachy, buffoonish, confused, scarily lucid. Brilliant. 10/10 Best show I've seen in a while.

The Secret Beach (featuring Kacy from "Kacy and Clayton" brought the sweet harmonies (and goofiest between song banter). Interlake and Fur Mountain SK represent.

Their originals were spectacular. I can't compare them, but if you like the curveballs Kate Bush throws, you might like Black Country, New Road. Sometimes challenging, always lovely. Will be circling back on this one.

Black Country, New Road just busted out a killer cover of Black Star's Ballad of El Goodo, one of my faves. Sweet!

Great to see @winnipegfolkfest.bsky.social moving the accessibility ball forward. This year we have live audio description for people with vision loss!

FONTINE kicks off @winnipegfolkfest.bsky.social with a solid set of great tunes.

I had the privilege of working with Kevin, and sitting nearby in the newsroom, for many years back in my Free Press days. Perhaps his greatest skill was remaining a lovely human while he diligently pursued his craft.

Earl Grey summer vibes #Winnipeg

I'm so happy for @fpkevinrollason.bsky.social (and a little wistful for the rest of us!). A dedicated #Winnipeg reporter, a big hearted guy, a wonderful family man-a complete mensch. Have a wonderful retirement, Kevin, and thank you for sharing all the wonderful stories.

This story definitely has teeth. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Hear @winnipegfolkfest.bsky.social's Chris Frayer on the Folkus podcast www.folkcanada.com/post/the-art...

ARGH, no!

Many #Winnipeg neighbourhoods (imcluding my hood) getting mosquito fogging tonight. Might want to keep the windows closed. legacy.winnipeg.ca/publicworks/...

Great to see and hear Manitoba's @boygolden.bsky.social on @worldcafe.bsky.social! www.npr.org/2026/07/07/n...

That "eyemask" makes it look more like Robin than a robin.

How geography, climate change conspired to create summer floods in the Parklands www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The TSN panel is pretty hilarious. "Do you think they 🇺🇸 were smelling themselves a bit coming in?"

I wonder how things are at the Belgian Club \o/

Helluva game Canada. On with the day.

We're in this.

Glorious #Winnipeg morning.

Today is a day for somber reflection and listening to the fine tradition of protest songs. Some humour, some serious, some outright laments, here’s music critical of systems of abusive, racist power and the false hope of the American Dream. tidal.com/playlist/622...

Horrifying. A building where over 100 disabled people with developmental disabilities live in New York has allegedly not had functioning AC for three years. www.timesunion.com/capitol/arti...

What an image on Independence day 250.

Oh hey cool, I did the same thing last night but on Deezer!

The @winnipegfolkfest.bsky.social is coming up in a few days; I built a playlist for the 2026 performers on TIDAL (8+ hrs). Enjoy!

A Love Letter to Handsome John, Otis Gibbs' film about the late great Todd Snider, is premiering for free on YouTube right now youtu.be/LaV4hfxPpck?...

Thinking about Tommy Hunter (RIP). The song “Travellin’ Man” (my favourite part of the show, when he actually sang it) is thematically IDENTICAL to theme song for The Littlest Hobo. Both solo wanderers making compelled to move but making friends along the way. Both with a compelling yearning.

Whatever went through, Osler SK area dodged the tornado. #SKStorm. From my wife who is there. Whew!

Scary tornado warning situation by and in Saskatoon. This is moving northeast. #SKStorm

Hail to the Chief?

Brutal conditions in Westman and Parkland. Flooding forces Dauphin hospital, Swan River evacuations www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews...

A turbulent sky meets a turbulent Assiniboine, Hugo Dock #Winnipeg

I like the "Where's Waldo" kit, USA (go BIH)

Eurovision is a weird hook to hang the Canada Day hat on.

Last Ottawa walk before returning to the Peg.

“Getting a job is not enough – we need to be thinking about the quality of the employment experience.” Do you agree this should be a priority consideration for employment inclusion work in Canada? What aspects of the employment experience need to be considered at a high level?

We're at the National Gallery. Found this rare piece.
