Happy St George’s Day

« But sadly, as the crisis continues to deepen, a simple truth is revealed: governments that pledge to “end” homelessness are either deluding themselves or making promises they know they cannot keep. » Despite efforts, homelessness is growing www.winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/edit...

Today’s Daily Cartoon, by Tom Toro.

I don’t think that you can call yourself a university if you can’t teach Plato at it. Philosophy is the core of a university education. The « love of wisdom » being banned in higher education sums up where we are at as a society.

Aidan’s masterpiece he made in Sunday School.

« Fast-moving technological change means fast-moving moral and religious change. Anybody who thinks the contrary, who thinks of technology as something outside of themselves, doesn’t know what they are talking about. ». - George Grant, 1965

The only analogy between the war in Iran and WW2 is that in both cases, a country went rogue and attacked another country against the wishes of many other countries pleading for peace.

In The City of God (Book IV), St. Augustine quotes a captured pirate telling Alexander the Great that the only difference between them is scale. The pirate claims, "Because I do it with a petty ship, I am called a robber, while you who do it with a great fleet are styled emperor".

“Trump at some level knows he’s failing politically, cognitively and physically and wants to take it all down with him, the way that ancient rulers were buried with their slaughtered horses and servants.”

Here is what we are getting into with LNG in our province. « An LNG facility in Western Canada burned more gas in 2025 than any other LNG export facility on record in 2024, raising concerns about Canada’s claim it’s producing the cleanest LNG in the world. » thenarwhal.ca/lng-canada-b...

An unprecedented number of US scientists are trading in their lab coats to run for office in the US mid-term elections in November. go.nature.com/3QePHLk

It was clear in 2016, but it should be abundantly clear to everyone by now that the only interest this president and administration has in Christianity is to misuse it as a tool of oppression and self serving power.

Absolute insanity. There won't be icebreakers by 2030, meaning the world's biggest methane storage facilities will be needed for this part-time pipeline. And when the methane is shipped, prices will fall because of massive volume. Dumb economics. #PipelineBan www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

This is complete BS from Kinew. It takes years to get port approval, never mind to get the infrastructure in place. Maybe Kinew is selling a Monorail as well. He will be long gone from MB before anyone will ask him to live up to his outlandish promises. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

The Pope isn’t messing around.

It's World Quantum Day, and physicists created the largest ever quantum state in which an object exists in a haze of possible locations at once go.nature.com/4tHfl9W

It is time for The Hobbit.

Homelessness grows under the Wab Kinew government. Heartbreaking. « End Homelessness Winnipeg says the number of people living without stable housing reached 8,248 in March, an increase of 104 from February. » www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews...

Seems like a good time to remind everyone that he posted these too:

This is the way.

I remember when people thought this was the weakest excuse for a crisis to start a Star Wars movie. Darth Trump has trolled us all.

Starting to think that Trump is trying to set up a new Holy Roman Empire. Germanic leader, Hungarian allies, and now picking fights with the Pope.

« The Trump administration clearly fails to understand many things, including what faith entails — which, obviously, includes speaking truth to power. » www.winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/edit...

Research policy experts and science organisations are urging Congress to reject these cuts, as it did with the 2026 budget request that would have devastated science agencies’ budgets. Read: @rebeccatrager.bsky.social www.chemistryworld.com/news/trump-r...

Jordan Leichnitz: "It's clear that the Liberals under Carney are building a big tent, and apparently it's such a big tent you can drive a trucker convoy through it"

(1) Bomb Iran (2) Complain that oil now can’t get out of Iran (3) Charge a toll for ships leaving the Strait in the traffic jam that you created. (4) Profit? The world has gone mad.

Genocide is always evil. It is that simple. Other regimes that have advocated for genocide include the Nazis, the Khmer Rouge, and Stalin’s Soviet Union. The USA just made that list. Article III of the 1948 UN Genocide Convention has been violated by Trump.

I feel compelled to go on the record and say this: Genocide is always evil. To threaten to eradicate a civilization in the name of Jesus Christ is blasphemous and morally repulsive. Genocide must be rejected in the strongest terms by all who follow Jesus. #ThingsINeverThoughtIWouldHaveToClarify

Someone remove this man from power.

Aidan turned 4 when I was off of social media 🎂

Apparently according Hegseth, a fighter bomber attacking Iran is a now Jesus figure. This is the kind of thing that will be studied in seminaries for decades as an example of the worst appropriation of Jesus, the Prince of Peace, in recent memory.

180 people at St John’s Cathedral this morning!

My piece in the @winnipegfreepress.com today: Canadians are hostage to the Oil & Gas cartel: we face skyrocketing prices for food, gas and mortgages because of our fealty to fossil fuels. Time to say: "I'm as mad as hell & not going to take this any more." www.winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/anal...

While we celebrate the Resurrection, and the hope of new things, let’s remember that this doesn’t mean that the path is easy. It is hard, but we aren’t alone. Sometimes even an inconspicuous gardener can reveal the light to you.

Happy Easter from Lorette

Well I’m back after 40 days. Did anything important happen when I was gone? Oh…

Happy Easter

See you in 40 days social media. #AshWednesday

“Now, I won’t say, ‘Cancel the election. They should cancel the election,’ because the fake news will say, ‘He wants the elections canceled. He’s a dictator.’ …Republicans have been so successful that when you think of it, we shouldn’t even have an election.” canadiandimension.com/articles/vie...

There are so many problems with this approach. Will the technique work? Will it be able to monitor chemical changes? Does Sio pull the funding if reports say the wrong thing? Will the prov step in if something goes wrong and shut it down? Where is the oversight? thenarwhal.ca/sio-silica-g...

Worth a watch. Incompetence, if practiced enough, is indistinguishable from malice. Now ask yourself why healthcare remains broken, why homelessness and poverty persist, and why leaders neglect our environment. Weaponized incompetence is malice. youtube.com/shorts/ME1fH...

Wow.

Considering what is going on in the US right now, with crackdowns on public protest, the introduction of this bylaw had really bad timing. Glad to see it shelved (or hopefully shelved). Councillor to shelve controversial ‘nuisance’ protests bylaw proposal www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews...
