This is apex comedy. Ask a conservative in your life why these would be bad.

All your money is going to the military, pipelines and AI

Governments building pipelines is good and Capitalism but governments building homes is bad and Socialism.

If anyone can explain to me why creating more programs and giving more tax dollars to deadbeat property owners is a better idea than expropriating their properties and repurposing them for public good, I'm all ears.

The important thing to know about the way our laws are set up is that council and the mayor can’t direct the police to do anything unless it’s to harm poor people.

Instead of an enforcement operation targeting Winnipeg’s most vulnerable and confiscating their harm reduction supplies, maybe the cops could actually be useful and conduct an enforcement operation on people who ride motorcycles with no mufflers and rev the shit out of them every chance they get.

In the midst of HIV and Hep A outbreaks and a toxic drug crisis, the City decided to unleash its highest paid employees on people who use drugs to seize their harm reduction supplies.

Bailing out developers by using public funds to buy unabsorbed condos is the wrong approach to the housing crisis. It’s an investment banker’s plan that ignores root causes. Canadians deserve a strategy focused on affordable supply, not developer profits. Read my full statement. #CdnPoli #Housing

The federal government increasing the Canada Disability Benefit by a measly $4.20 is so outrageously insulting

its been a year and the world didnt implode because its just a friggen intersection. #winnipeg portage and main this was so overblown and dragged out for a big nothing burger

Nice to see them developing downtown amenities for people who actually live downtown and not just people who drive in from the suburbs to watch Jets games 41 times a year.

The Libs are using their new "Build Canada Homes" agency to buy & convert 2,200 unsold private condos in BC. Public funds should build deeply affordable, non-market social & co-op housing—not act as a safety net for corporate developers who overspeculated. 👇 www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

Unless he’s announcing his resignation I don’t care.

The Public Works chair who didn’t support bringing some of Transit Plus back in-house because of the cost, and said Winnipeg is “spoiled” by a level of snow clearing that prevents disabled folks from leaving their homes during the winter is not running for re-election? Good fucking riddance.

Winnipeg Transit says it will need millions of dollars in new funding and additional staff to comply with Manitoba’s new Accessible Transportation Standard Regulation, which takes effect on Jan. 1.

Winnipeg Transit needs funding boost, additional staff to follow new provincial accessibility regulations: city report www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews...

Spend a few weeks in disability services and you’ll see clearly that there are problems. Spend a few years in disability services and you’re left wondering if anyone in power cares. Reforming the province’s disability support system is long overdue.

Manitoba’s disability support system is “fundamentally broken” and routinely fails people as they transition into adulthood, according to a damning new report that calls for a sweeping overhaul of provincial services.

I am often referred to as a disability activist or advocate and despite years of telling people that I don’t consider myself either of those, the miscategorization/mischaracterization persists. So I figured it was time to suggest an alternative. open.substack.com/pub/mssineno...

Hey anybody remember that time Scott Gillingham and Evan Duncan tried to make protest basically illegal everywhere in the city?

"You'll notice that they're wheelchair accessible..." - Minister Moyes In the yurts/cabins I've stayed at in provincial parks, the only difference I've noticed is that the accessible yurts/cabins have ramps, so why not just put ramps on all of the yurts/cabins? Never understood that.

n.b. every goddamn Winnipeg Council member in standing committee delegations and to the press

I get these comments every time I post about this and I really want people to realize how unhelpful they are! First of all, if you have the stats, let's see them. Second of all, they could issue placards as temporary permits and licence plates for people with permanent disabilities. Hope that helps!

How many specialty licence plates are we going to get before they give us the option of getting the ♿ symbol on our plates so I don't have to worry about getting fined when I forget to hang my accessible parking permit every time I park my car in an accessible spot?

This Saturday Pembina Valley Pride will be hosting its annual Pride event in Winkler, MB for the first time! Lots of supporters would be awesome. 😊🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ #Pride #Manitoba

Local media stop interviewing M****n W****s on issues of homelessness challenge.

In the ever-lowering bar of what this country tolerates, a man was assessed for MAiD at Tim Horton's and then killed via MAiD at an industrial plaza with a holding facility where cadavers are prepared for transport to funeral homes. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

People of Winnipeg: Please adequately fund our transit system so it operates better. City of Winnipeg: Sorry, best we can do is flood the system with cops.

Is the goal to shatter all remaining trust in healthcare? Cuz this is how you do that.

#OtD 15 May 1919 30,000 workers across Winnipeg walked off their jobs, bringing the city to a halt. Although defeated by heavy police repression, the strike inspired many other workers, who won significant improvements over the coming decades stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8712...

Check out my chat with Jeff over at @theoverheadwire.com @usa.streetsblog.org!

Demonstrators brought a city bus Saturday to the stairs of the Manitoba Legislature, where about 100 people called on the province to better support transit through dedicated funding.

Imagine talking about any other public service this way. Does the government keep public hospitals “afloat”? What about when it gave Marine Atlantic $169 million to support its operations in 24/25? The media does the bidding of those who want to private Canada Post when they adopt this framing.

I know I don’t have too many Winnipeg followers on here, but I’m helping host a cool disability ministry and theology learning event next week. Lunch and snacks are provided too. Hit me up if you have more questions. adeepercommunion.org/banquet-of-b...

There is a lot of cognitive dissonance here. The prov is investing in AI centres. Research MB is pivoting to AI. More MB AI centres planned (IDC). But AI is bad for kids and we should ban it? Which is it? How can the prov invest in AI and then say it is bad for kids? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

A letter from me in today's Winnipeg Free Press. As a teacher friend said: What are kids going to do, go outside and get hit by cars?

Even if the low end estimate were split by the maximum proposed occupancy that’s $2,357 per person per month. At the high end it’s well over $4,000. Maybe we should just house people.

MUST READ. @cfraz.bsky.social just published a paper documenting her experiences during her 2-yr engagement w the Canadian Association of MAiD Assessors & Providers [CAMAP]. It is damning. Plausible deniability is off-the-table for those at helm of MAID. No paywall cjds.uwaterloo.ca/index.php/cj...

People in wheelchairs surrounded and barricaded two city buses over the course of two days, demanding wheelchair lifts and chanting, "We will ride."

“What would be nicer than being celebrated is if a demographic famously prone to fatigue didn’t have to exhaust ourselves advocating for every small, obvious accommodation — and then be congratulated for overcoming barriers that didn’t need to exist.” thesqueakywheel.org/disabled-man...

"He also questions why a private company is responsible for maintaining infrastructure that serves the public." Is there anything the City of Winnipeg hasn't contracted out?

NEW by me. Physicians killing disabled people (who are not expected to die within the next 12 months) is not an option in Alberta. That’s new in Canada, & that is something we celebrate. It also demands we make certain those disabled people are supported to live. macdonaldlaurier.ca/better-dead-...
