This report from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia is giving me, a Winnipegger, a case of infrastructure envy youtube.com/watch?v=Os0Q...

Watching a bit of the Crowchild Classic tonight in Calgary... as a Bisons fan, it's hard not to be a little envious of the scene at the Saddledome for this one youtube.com/live/-AJhY3v...

Interesting CBC story that touches on Canada's digital dependence on the US. I would imagine that the EU has the best chance to develop a viable alternative to the US and Chinese big tech firms. youtu.be/zAhPvXJRyYA?...

‼️ A genocide is taking place in Ukraine right now,committed by Russia This is barely being discussed or covered in the Western press I know that many Ukrainians living abroad follow me.I’m calling on international organizations&the Ukrainian diaspora to organize demonstrations in support of Ukraine

Not surprised to hear about Paul Brandt's shenanigans. Once he revealed himself to be an antivaxxer, Alberta separatism wasn't much of a leap. He doesn't seem like the sharpest knife in the drawer.

If you're a Manitoba Moose player, your best path to the NHL may be to leave town

shut the fuck up

Here's how the media should deal with Taco Don.

Think I'll wait until next weekend to go for a rip down the river trail... #Winnipeg

A reminder that Bessent is supposed to be one of the more normal ones around Trump. I would take this as a clear sign the WH is open to (or even keen on) interference in any AB election or referendum.

Super easy commute this morning, I'm guessing the extreme cold had a lot of people working from home or just calling in sick, haha #Winnipeg

The world may be coming apart at the seams, but 50 Cent is chugging along with his plans to build a giant dome in downtown Shreveport

It's starting to feel like March 2020 again with dramatic Prime Ministerial speeches dropping multiple times a week youtube.com/live/xa9wN5m...

At CosmoWorld in Yokohama, visitors have to pay ¥500 to experience -30°c temperatures. But here in thrifty #Winnipeg, we get it for free! What could be better?!

I heard Gordon Goldsborough of the Manitoba Historical Society talking about their app, InSite, on CBC yesterday, so I downloaded it. In short: it is amazing. An incredible treasure trove of local history. If you nerd out about this stuff the way I do, this app is a must. For iOS and Android.

TFW you realize in the longue duree historians will view the fall of the Soviet and US empires as basically taking place simultaneously

Of course I'm going to this

Yay: becoming a city with 850,000 people Boo: still having the infrastructure of a city of 500,000 people #Winnipeg

Breath taking stat.

Today we launched Building Bold: UM’s Capital Plan for People, Place and Possibility. If you missed the announcement this morning, you still have a chance to explore a temporary digital display bringing the plan to life. Learn more: umtoday.ca/stories/come...

Amazing how at the most pivotal time in our modern history, we fell ass backwards into probably the best leader imaginable to navigate it, and who will likely be at the forefront of steering the democratic world thru it

What I wouldn't give to hear the thoughts of someone who just woke up from a decade-long coma and spent an hour catching up on the news.

I just can't stop with the $1 McDonald's coffee. "It's only $1..." as I slowly sink into addiction 😩

That's cool, but why not increase the size a little bit? It still bugs me that the new ribbon boards they installed last year don't span the entire length of the upper decks. #Winnipeg

Trump wants everyone to believe he needs to take Greenland to protect the US from the guy he made American soldiers roll out the red carpet for in Alaska.

Minneapolis is turning into a galapagos of ways to fuck with people

I question the judgement of whoever approved it in the first place

Travelling on VIA Rail train 22 from #Montreal to #Quebec City today. Beautiful day for a train ride!

Canadian city populations (CMA) for 2025 are out. Big growth over the past 4 years. Toronto over 7 million. Vancouver over 3 million. Calgary nearing 2 million. Winnipeg so close to 1 million! Halifax over half million. Victoria almost half million. Saskatoon pulling away from Regina.

The Minneapolis subreddit is really a sight to behold right now. Post after post after post of ICE wreaking havoc all over the city.

Went to the Bisons hockey game last night vs. Sask. Lots of players with WHL and jr. A experience, some have played pro. It was a good time, the game was intense, and beer was cheap. I enjoy Jets games; I'll be at the game tomorrow. But it's good to support the other teams in town too. #HornnsUp

The only good ICE

I bought a suit for work today, so in my books the pandemic is officially over. I miss the years of comfy wfh clothes...

We should just be happy that the Jets didn't do anything tonight to mess up what is now their prime objective for this season

I just got the Winnipeg Jets 2026-27 season ticket email. Pour one out for the TNSE account executives as they start making their calls during a 10 game losing streak, with the team in dead last overall

ICE is responsible for the *only* shooting and homicide in Minneapolis so far in 2026.

NEW: Second video shows ICE shooting in Minneapolis. A woman, a U.S. citizen, was killed

Minneapolis: Come for the World Junior Hockey Championships Stay for the armed Gestapo/goon squad shooting civilians

Looks like we're officially living in interesting times

One way to get your mind off the world's troubles is by taking in some Manitoba Junior Hockey League action

What an editorial from the Globe. Words I didn't ever expect to see written. "Canada cannot repeat the mistake of failing to come to grips with reality, urgently – of failing to recognize that we are now caught up in a national emergency." (Gift link) www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/3865d4a...

There is this narrative that Russia is a great power and that Putin is some kind of master strategist. But let’s summarize what has actually happened since the invasion of Ukraine: 1. Russia lost Syria.

Who doesn't think that there are a bunch of people in Pentagon offices tasked with making elaborate plans for an invasion of Canada, "just in case"

Remember that the US *does not care* about the people of Venezuela. It is not about "narcotrafficking", or "democracy", or whatever propaganda they have going. It is *explicitly* about US control over oil, capital accumulation, and geopolitical power.

The Bisons go 0 for 2 in their trip south of the border after a loss at UMD tonight

The #Winnipeg skyline shot that Amazon Prime Video showed tonight caught my eye

In the cheap seats at the Wheat Kings game
