#manitoba — Public Fediverse posts

It was a tornado that ripped through River Heights on Sunday. That makes two tornadoes inside the City of Winnipeg in 2026.

The times, they are a changing. Plan accordingly.

“Louis Riel” by Chester Brown (2003). A biographical epic of politics, exile, and rebellion. Riel is a sympathetic and troubled figure. The artwork alternates between dwelling on visual themes, and rapidly changing views and locations, with which the maps help a little. Typically minimalist, the drawings are stark and the dialogue economical. 31pp of notes.

“Winter roads are essential transportation links for many remote northern communities, but their safety and reliability depend strongly on snow conditions and ice growth. In this study [link above], [the authors] evaluated a fully polarimetric, dual-frequency Ku- and Ka-band radar approach for retrieving snow depth across landfast sea ice, lake ice, and tundra.
Using field measurements near Churchill, Manitoba, and Resolute Bay, Nunavut [Canada], [they] found that the approach produced snow-depth retrieval bias and error within 3 cm over landfast ice, with encouraging Ku-band performance over frozen ground as well. [They] also developed an interface-detection approach for lake ice that can retrieve both snow depth and ice thickness - a promising direction for characterizing conditions relevant to winter-road planning and safety…”

“Winter roads are lifelines for remote northern communities. Built over land, lakes, rivers, and sea ice, these travel routes are increasingly vulnerable to warming temperatures and variable precipitation. To ensure safety and adapt to these changes, operators require high-resolution monitoring of snow depth across these diverse surfaces, as natural snow accumulation dictates ice growth rates, route viability and road stability. This study extends our polarimetric radar method, previously demonstrated on pack ice, to landfast sea ice, tundra, and frozen lakes and assesses how well we can retrieve snow depth over these surfaces. Results indicate consistency with earlier sea ice analyses, maintaining a mean snow depth retrieval bias and error within 3 cm over the landfast ice. Promising performance is also found over frozen ground using Ku-band (mean biases less than 6 cm). To address the specific challenge of lake ice, which includes strong returns from the ice/water interface, we present a new interface-detection technique that simultaneously retrieves snow depth and ice thickness. While current validation focuses on undisturbed snow, this approach could provide a path forward for characterizing the cryospheric environment in a way that can directly support the optimization of winter roads…”

If you haven't yet seen #taken on #aptn, I highly, highly recommend it..this groundbreaking series from #eaglevision explores cases of #mmiwg2s #mmimb2s from a humane, informative, and family and community led perspective.

You can find the series on https://watchaptnplus.ca/, for only about 5.00 a month #cad with a free trial.

I believe episodes are accessible from the #usa as well.

That storm was INSANE. Our power was knocked out a few times. The windows were shaking with the thunder and rain. The sky kept lighting up with lightning. It was actually quite scary for a while.
Hope everyone stays and stayed safe!!

The Most Toxic Substance on Earth – and the Tiny Town Volunteering to Host It

The fraught quest for a safe site to bury #NuclearWaste

by William Leiss Updated 8:12, Jan. 13, 2025

"In a landmark decision announced this past November, Canada’s Nuclear Waste Management Organization, or the #NWMO, selected the municipality of Ignace in Northwestern Ontario as the site for the country’s first deep geological repository—DGR—for spent nuclear fuel. The repository is to be located within the traditional territory of the #WabigoonLakeOjibway Nation, forty-three kilometres from Ignace.

[...]

"The Wabigoon Lake Ojibway Nation—WLON—or #WabigoonFirstNation, based in the Kenora district southeast of Dryden and a member of Grand Council Treaty 3, is the First Nation partner for the NWMO in the Ignace area. Treaty 3 encompasses 55,000 square metres and stretches from eastern Manitoba to just west of Thunder Bay; it includes twenty-eight communities of #Anishinaabe peoples, located in Northwestern #Ontario and southeastern #Manitoba, with a total population of about 25,000. The WLON is a Saulteaux First Nation band and, as of 2021, had a registered population of 822, with an on-reserve population of 186 residing at Wabigoon Lake 27 Indian Reserve who operate a wild rice processing plant, a logging business, and a tree nursery there. The consultations over the possible DGR siting in the Ignace area led to some quite acrimonious public controversy among a number of First Nations communities, many of which are very close to each other in an area at the southernmost corner of the extreme northwestern edge of Ontario, near both the Manitoba and US borders."

Last week, at the Assembly of First Nations special chiefs assembly, Justice Minister David Lametti agreed to look at the NRTA at the behest of the chiefs, some asking that the agreement be rescinded.

The premiers of the provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba expressed outrage at the thought. Woodhouse gives the First Nations perspective on the agreements.
