So the Giant Tiger on Pembina is closing - maybe we’ll luck out and the new tenant will be Consumers Distributing

I don’t know which makes me hate humanity more: Costco or commercial air travel.

Also, the number of people flying with CPAP machines…….

Ahhh…. Air travel. Where 90% of the people flying look like they literally just rolled out of bed before coming to the airport

Can anyone point me to a time where a governing party pulled an election trigger this early and actually benefitted from it? Seems recent history is that the electorate doesn’t reward governments that do this

As B.C. Premier David Eby prepares for a likely election call, what’s next for the province’s fractured right-wing opposition? Paul Willcocks writes. thetyee.ca/Opinion/2026...

For those following the story about East St Paul not releasing the names of candidates before the nomination deadline, this has some pretty nefarious implications: The Mayor of ESP is also the president of Sio Silica This same individual breached conflict of interest regulations

Oh , one other thing on my political wish list: All the city owned garbage receptacles along major roads get rotated 90 degrees. Right now they are perpendicular to the street and they block sight lines from sides streets. I know the city loves the ad revenue, but it’s a safety hazard.

More wish list items for this civic election: Work with MPI to move park and ride from all purpose insurance to pleasure Proper wayfinding signs for park and ride - not the small signs on the wrong side of the road, an actual overhead sign - make it easy for people to use

On the heels of the recent polling about the civic and election, here’s my priorities if I ever run for office Red light camera at every traffic light Full and comprehensive police and emergency services review cost,staffing, everything Moritorium on sprawl development

The only thing I wonder when reading stories is how were any Democrat senators stupid enough to vote to confirm any of Mango Mussolini ‘s nominees?

Add lying under oath to his list of wrongdoings and crimes.

Add lying under oath to his list of wrongdoings and crimes.

It’s like we’re living through a real life version of “the Emperor’s new clothes” except instead of being naked, Mango Mussolini is an idiot and instead of admiring clothes that aren’t there, his syncophants are trying to show him they’re just as stupid

There is a reason that we do not have MLAs decide on electoral boundaries. Tossing out the Electoral Boundaries Commission and replacing it with a UCP-dominated committee is not just a bad idea. It is really bad for democracy. Ask the US, ask Hungary. This is not normal!

Things that help calm the nervous system, quickly: - Box breathing (in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4, repeat) - Immerse your face in cold water (activates mammalian dive reflex) - Humming (stimulates vagus nerve) - Exercise (anything helps, outside even better) - Impeachment and removal

Oh my god I’m floored this is the most beautiful photograph I’ve ever seen this is stunning

I hadn't seen this before. This is pretty remarkable. Earth and Moon in one NASA photo. ht @astrokatie.com

Ugh FB is getting to be an absolute mess. Sure, I get some benefit for some groups, but I’m getting tired of the CPC MP and BS story posts showing up on my feed

The Winnipeg city councillor for Waverley is advocating the death penalty for drug crimes on her FB page. And of course she’s closed it to comments.

The letter to the editor in today’s Winnipeg Free Press defending Hellebuyck’s interactions with Trump because he is too stupid to know better is……..something

I think when Dotard starts inevitably whining about a Nobel Peace Prize next year, the only reaction from the committee that awards it should be simply to tell him to F-Off

One one hand, happy for Helly and Connor On the other, hate seeing Mike Sullivan win

So why was the earlier penalty a double and this one only a minor?

Sooo….. They’re going to send a river boat? Across the ocean? Given how stupid this administration is, it’s likely to be a paddle wheel, and when it inevitably sinks during passage, Dotard will blame Greenland and declare war.

We are the laughingstock of the world because of our moronic and psychotic president. Deservedly so.

Are all high stick penalties at the olympics double minors?

Let me see if I understand this: all the people executive order Truth Social posts, all the “Thank you for your attention to this matter” stuff, that’s Trump himself, but racist crap is his staffers operating his account?

Pleasant surprise of the day: priority boarding for military and Veterans. Thanks, Delta!

Just in case anyone was still under the mistaken impression that ICE is a law enforcement agency

Matt Cameron@mattcameron.bsky.social · 9mo ago

CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today. This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

A couple of notes on the Carney v. Trump at Davos: As usual, Trump always looks like some kid wearing their dad’s suit. Too big, tie too long, etc.
