"Getting rid of USAID is a very easy way of winning headlines... But if your one accomplishment in government is to rip funds away from the neediest, so that they can die, so they can be unmedicated, so that they can starve, that is a moral stain that I hope will haunt you 'til the day you die."

Winnipeg life is going to check the news for updates about children hit by drivers and instead finding a story about cops executing someone for holding a hand tool www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Hearing about two young cyclists hit by drivers today, and our city leaders are lucky the whole province is on fire already because I’d otherwise be tempted to burn the entire city to the ground

Death cult

I would hope that, by this point, university leaders who are still "negotiating" with the administration have their eyes wide open about the fact that these negotiations are all in bad faith.

It's like a death cult

Love when summer finally arrives in Winnipeg, and you can sit out in your back yard and watch the sunset while the police helicopter circles your neighbourhood over and over and over and over and over 😍

Most Winnipeg cyclists avoid riding on Portage during rush hour but I actually found it pretty chill

They're DOGEing pedestrian space here in Brooklyn.

So many renters are facing above-guideline rent hikes in Winnipeg. The NDP committed to improve rent control when they were opposition but have failed to take action since forming govt. Joined Mb Right to Housing friends this morning to issue the Premier an eviction warning ⚠️

just got my lease renewal, 6 years and 6 rent increases. when the rent increase isn't enough (by guidelines) option 1: fake a capital project and/or option 2: reduce the amount of the reduction for paying on time. adequate easily affordable housing is a human right.

the first sentence of Elon's obituary should be that he was one of the greatest mass murderers in the history of humanity this is his legacy

Hell yes - if you aren’t familiar with the history of Critical Mass in New York, we just watched an excellent documentary about it (with perhaps the most badass directors credits ever in a documentary)

Death cult

At Wab Kinew’s constituency office in South Osborne, where housing advocates are issuing an eviction notice to the premier for failing to keep his promise to make renting more affordable and protect tenant rights

In one week, it will be a year since Rob Jenner was killed by a driver on Wellington Cres. Nothing about the unsafe design of the road has changed.

Feeling concerned about my bid for the Carry Shit Olympics as I watch buddy load a king size mattress into a bike trailer

As always, our “national interest” is gonna be stuff like pipelines and highways, not housing and bike lanes

So in the last 24 hours we’ve had two kids hit by drivers in Elmwood, and a cyclist hit by a left-turning driver at Wellington and Academy

This is an attack on both universities and these students. While the implications are not yet clear, I’m so sorry to every student who has come to the US in trust that we would shepherd their education and treat them with dignity. It hurts my heart that the government is breaking that trust.
