EMERGENCY MOBILIZATION for Wellington Cres bike lane Pilot, TODAY at noon. Janice Lukes moving to kill pilot in favour of vague proposal for permanent lanes later

Mayor's inner circle votes unanimously to cut $2.5 million from the Roadway Safety Budget #winnipeg #wpgpoli youtube.com/shorts/pT1G_...

Amber Bracken is one of Canada’s greatest photojournalists, and for the RCMP to mistake observers for participants, arrest her and prevent her from doing her vital work is a deeply dangerous precedent. This case is important for all of us.

Winnipeg city council opposed to setting bus stop on fire as that might inadvertently provide warmth to an unhoused person.

The snow operations map currently lists as complete some sidewalks in my area that are presently obstructed by 2m tall piles of ice dumped after blading the adjacent road down to the pavement.

We built a network that was meant to sacrifice some convenience and proximity for frequent service, and then Mayor Gillingham and Councillor Lukes didn’t deliver frequent service. Maybe if they weren’t so focused on suburban road expansion they could fund the damn bus.

If you’re outraged at the danger on our roads, come make a plan for how we’ll change them.

I love the irony that the city of Winnipeg also adds "CONFIDENTIAL" to my freedom of information request denial letter.

If you’re wondering whether we still need these changes, a driver hit Rob’s ghost bike THIS MORNING

Just minutes after I did this interview, a driver crashed into the ghost bike installed along this stretch. Come on. Let's go here, @scottgillingham.bsky.social, let's do Vision Zero and stop delaying public safety.

1. Campaign on big issues that are directly relevant to your voters 2. Don't get distracted from point one 3. Present as a decent human with manageable baggage 4. Don't be old as fuck. Go forth and do likewise

Dick Cheney died and it wasn’t even the best thing that happened today

Heart beat hate, work beat whining, relationships beat rants, shoe leather beat lawn signs. Elmwood-East Kildonan won big last night, and so did Winnipeg.

Some big personal news: earlier today, I registered as a candidate for Winnipeg city council in the upcoming by-election in Elmwood - East Kildonan! The neighbours, fellow advocates and friends who asked me to run have already hit the ground running!

Grecia is our hope for the future! I interviewed her for my podcast! Watch it on youtube right here! @ianmccausland.bsky.social youtu.be/8LYt0UOaJ-s?...

Can WInnipeg try this please before we add a single lane for motorists anywhere. Just try free transit for three years, and see what happens. It'll still be cheaper than any extension of Chief Peguis Trail, and move more people

Many Winnipeggers took time out of their day today to express their disappointment at the lack of any safety improvements to Wellington Cr and were silenced by our gov't - how does Cllr. Orlikow get 5 mins to speak to 5 inanimate street parking spots but those who want their child to be safe don't?

Janice Lukes is a liar and a bad human being. She’s got no heart. Rob Jenner’s widow, Wendy Van Loon, was in the gallery today when Janice Lukes moved not to hear from 30 delegations duly registered to speak. Rob was killed a year ago to the day that this agenda dropped, further delaying action.

...but tell me again how I should dismount my bike before crossing the path.

You know what? Just shut up and ride a bike.

When you realize the tacky Versailles-wannabe trash on the fireplace is just Chinese polyurethane spray painted gold.

Well, looks like I'm getting everything I wanted. Poilievre losing Carleton will be the icing on top. It's a pity about Elmwood-Transcona. I'll have to wait for cabinet to see about BeyNate.

AAAAAAAAARE YOOOOOOOU REEEEEAAAADYYYY FOR SATURDAY! SATURDAY! SATURDAY! @ianmccausland.bsky.social @a.aboli.sh @akohan.bsky.social youtu.be/xyARmCu0Ow4?...

I'm surprised at how many Canadians support denying the charter rights of youth in Canada to vote. I thought progressives would be more supportive of ending the disenfranchisement of 1/4 of the population. jfcy.org/en/cases-dec...

It’s not a campaign visit to Vancouver without a Hip Flip. Thanks for the records and the trip down memory lane, @nardwuarserviette.bsky.social. youtu.be/TZmh_PNMImE?...

It's weird how the US administration is making crypto look like a stable investment.

If we wanted an organization with total community participation we’d model it on others that have this aim (regular meetings on weekends, childcare provided, snacks afterwards, people assigned to reach out to anyone attending for the first time)

Massive props to @calmcambridge.bsky.social & @timfennell.bsky.social for tireless work to reach this stage!!

Dear GCN, welcome to the War on Cars. Good to have you here. @americanfietser.com @thewaroncars.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVq7...

"Manitoba currently ranks last in Canada for provincial per capita research funding — a stark reality that contradicts the government's recent enthusiasm for attracting international researchers,"

“All I wanted was a christofascist nation and all I got was societal crash and burn” is a very timely statement.

Well damn that's a refreshing political ad.

apropos of nothing: my favourite biking statistic is from the 18 year scottish longitudinal study which found that over the study period, compared to non-active commuters (ie cars and transit), cyclist commuters were half as likely to die for any reason. half as likely to die! for any reason!!!

It's #InternationalWomensDay! 👩✊️ We have so many trailblazing women and gender-diverse people we want to celebrate and support. Read our latest blog to learn about 14 women accelerating action in urbanism: www.womeninurbanism.ca/words/14-wom...

If we’re gonna subsidize housing to the tune of $60,000 per home, I bet we could find ways to do it that don’t create gigantic long term maintenance costs at the same time.

Critical Mass(ive)

The news these days has me thinking about We Stand On Guard. Vaughan was only 90 years off in his speculation.

www.winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/anal... We need to ensure our tax base can support our future liabilities while providing stable city services, by reinvesting in our existing communities, efficiently using our existing infrastructure, land, and not building more before we can pay for it.

Yeah, it was sadly predictable. The whole thing was predictable. #winnipeg #wpgpoli open.substack.com/pub/brianpin...
