  1. 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.

    What the fresh hell?
    #northdakota is about 2 hours south of us by vehicle. While I hope that #manitoba can do all we can to support those needing #abortioncare, our #healthcare is strained enough.
    Putting #abortionbans on #pregnant people is barbaric. This is a #feminist issue..those with #male genitalia don't have to face these draconian laws about their bodies.

  7. 🛰️ Today I’m sharing one of my favourite large-scale remote sensing experiments:
    a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) of MODIS composite data for the three central provinces of Canada (Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba).

    On this map:
    - PC1 emphasizes broad ecological zones and vegetation productivity
    - PC2 highlights soil and surface moisture differences
    - PC3 captures subtle spectral variations — often linked to geology, wetlands, disturbance patterns, or local microclimates

    Even though it looks abstract, PCA is a kind of “spectral fingerprint” of the land. It summarises thousands of square kilometres into a single visual structure that shows how the Canadian Prairies and Boreal regions differ and transition into one another.

  8. #Pimicikamak #Cree #FirstNation trying to get 767 people out of northern #Manitoba community as #wildfire closes in

    'It's very smoky here [and] it's getting thicker, because the fire's at our doorstep': Chief Monias

    "A wildfire is at the threshhold of Pimicikamak Cree Nation, choking the air with smoke, as the northern Manitoba community's leaders work to get 767 people out.

    " 'Many that couldn't get out because the junction at Highway 374 and Highway 373 is their lifeline to Norway House, and now it's being compromised by the fire and the smoke,' Chief David Monias said Thursday morning.

    "Pimicikamak had started a precautionary evacuation Friday as wildfires impacted air quality. Residents were flown out from the airport in the community, about 530 kilometres north of Winnipeg on the shores of Cross Lake, but high winds and dry conditions worsened the situation this week

    [...]

    "Those in Pimicikamak are among 17,000 expected to be evacuated as fires intensify in both northern and eastern Manitoba.

    "Premier Wab Kinew on Wednesday evening declared a provincewide state of emergency.

    "Evacuation orders have also been issued for #FlinFlon, #LynnLake, #Pukatawagan #Cree Nation (also known as Mathias Colomb First Nation), #MarcelColomb First Nation and #Sherridon.

    "In addition to #NorwayHouse Cree Nation, #Chemawawin Cree Nation (Easterville) is under an evacuation notice, with people ordered to be ready to leave.

    "The majority of the evacuees will head to Winnipeg and will be housed at large facilities such as community centres, soccer fields and arenas, Monias said."

  13. Mehr als 17.000 Menschen müssen in #Manitoba wegen schwerer #Waldbrände evakuiert werden.

    Die Provinz hat den #Notstand ausgerufen, da sich Feuer über alle Regionen ausbreiten. Rund die Hälfte der über 130 Brände in #Kanada gilt als außer Kontrolle.

    Der #Klimawandel führt zu häufigeren und intensiveren Feuern. Militär und Einsatzkräfte unterstützen die #Evakuierung.

  14. Continuing #KellyHughes spiel for #Winnipeg #Manitoba and anyone who believes, as we do at #TheValiant, that #ArtWillSaveUsAll

    Kelly will be appearing on CityTV today at 6pm and 10pm to talk some more about the new funding push. He's been in hibernation the last little while and I am rather excited he's come out.

    One of the highest compliments I ever got was from a prof, who said was a "Manitoba character," which means a specific sort of thing. I'm not sure if I am, but Kelly definitely is.
