#Manitoba vibes today

What could go wrong? SpaceX satellite disintegration is adding large amounts of potentially dangerous particles and chemicals to the upper atmosphere, and amounts are likely to grow. www.wsj.com/science/envi...

We are at the point where we have to guess who said it - Trump or Kinew “Drill baby drill” “Mine baby mine” He is closer to Sterling Lyon than Ed Schreyer with considering privatizing Hydro as well Kinew sets sights on opening up MB mining opportunities www.winnipegfreepress.com/business/202...

Even I didn’t expect Wab Kinew seeking massive US backing for a huge AI project that would also privatize part of MB Hydro. What an absolutely disastrous plan for Manitobans. Are we convinced that maybe he isn’t a New Democrat? #mbpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This poor guy. Must've got caught last night when you couldn't see a damn thing on the hwy. I'm guessing he's on a service road. Video poster said they were on Hwy 7 when they spotted him. Firetruck & ambulance were there trying to figure out how to get to him.

Sauron says creating the Rings of Power will help create 250,000 jobs, boost Mordor GDP by 3%

You called me and I came to Colmcille To learn at last the meaning of my name Though you yourself were called, and not the caller, He called through you and when He called I came. malcolmguite.wordpress.com/2026/06/09/c...

Warming oceans are running short of oxygen, and the fiercest marine predators are already feeling the effects. Learn more on #WorldOceansDay: https://scim.ag/4e8gVvo

Early stages of tornado formation. If you look closely you can see the clouds moving to the right in the foreground and to the left in the background in a circular motion. I watched as this formed a large funnel cloud and then touched down SSE of Anola. I hope and pray that everyone is alright.

Rotating cloud just outside of my house now.

Tornado supercell near Ste Anne. Be safe out there!

Elliot Friedmann on HNC argued that Mitch Marner's performance could be the greatest in Stanley Cup history. Sorry, no. On March 23rd 1944, Maurice Richard scored all 5 goals in a 5:1 victory over the Leafs. He was the first player in NHL history to be named 1st, 2nd AND 3rd star of the game. 🏒

I wrote a piece on Substack on CS Lewis and his via media for Anglican Spirituality. It is also a bit of a personal story about how he has played a role in my formation. You can check it out below: substack.com/@chriswiebe2...

The St John's Anglican Cathedral flower planting crew today! TBTG!

Out planting flowers this morning at St John’s with the church community. Thank you to everyone that came out. Nice to see the Pride flag out too! Some people were asking about my shirt. It is the Gospel! Matthew 5:13-14 “You are the salt of the earth… You are the light of the world.”

Does this mean that Christian profs and teachers don’t have to mark assignments completed by AI? Asking for like a million friends.

This is a ridiculous statement. Not only is there Indigenous opposition to Churchill pipelines, there is opposition within the MB NDP. I mean, all of us had to agree to no pipelines in 2023 in order to run. Or has everyone changed their minds in the party? #mbpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The MB NDP and city have to act with this crisis Anecdotally, I see drug users everyday now at the UofW. My son tried picking up a used needle in the parking lot and this week they were using on my car (I told them to leave) Never seen it this bad in my 17 years downtown www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The most Christian thing Donald Trump has ever done has been to really test « love thy neighbour » for Canadians.

Jesus never demanded for his face to be put on money, for his name to be put on buildings, or for statues of himself to be made. Caesar did. May we understand the difference.

FAFO. Chronically underfund Canadian universities and suffer the consequences. And unfortunately rankings will be the least of those consequences. @caut.bsky.social www.bnnbloomberg.ca/business/eco...

Another year of supporting the Dr CR Wiebe Scholarship in Physics at Transcona Collegiate. This award is really because of my Mom. She encouraged me to give back to TC when she was in the last stages of her life. I’ve done this not only to give something back, but also to keep her memory alive.

Trinity Sunday

You know what we don't talk enough about? Queen & Annie Lennox/David Bowie rehearsing 'Under Pressure' in 1992. So much going on! Everyone's clothes, Bowie with a lit cig throughout, where Annie PROPER GOES FOR IT, George Michael singing along in the background. The amazing vocals. Yes, please!

Tough days for trees coming. Great care advice ⬇️ Give Trees Winnipeg a follow!

Amazing how many folks say “Go Jets Go!” when they see you walking around Toronto with a Jets hat.

Two great lectures, one great venue. Come join us at St John’s College next week!

How about no? www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

Finally, a clear repudiation of the brain-dead “it’s just a tool” argument that gets floated cynically about every new technology:

This is what happens when a toddler takes over the white house

Nice to see brilliant women scientists honoured at the UofT. I’ve taught Michaelis-Menten kinetics many times!

I also have some concerns. The weakening of our ed system continues. I love public ed but some of these choices by our prov government will have consequences, such as looking elsewhere for my sons to be educated. School science changes spark concerns www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews...

The Jewish community is rightfully calling out Wab Kinew on his unfortunate comments about the Old Testament. An apology and some education, as suggested by this writer, is probably the best way forward. I doubt that will happen.

MB Hydro has long eschewed #solar for our province failing miserably to look ahead to a hotter future & rising summer grid demands. It's time to clean house at MB Hydro and replace engineers & leaders focused on the past and build for what is coming. #MbPoli www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews...

Drawing on a large-scale dataset of more than 12 million scientists, a new #SciencePolicyArticle reports that early-career scientists may be more inclined toward transformative breakthroughs, whereas seasoned researchers excel at synthesizing and extending existing knowledge. https://scim.ag/3PhW7JD
