Hey #Winnipeg. What’s the worst #intersection in town if you’re a #pedestrian?

There’s no shortage but my current vote goes to Ness and Century. It’s two highways! It’s loud, dirty and doesn’t give a crap about you if you’re a person with mobility concerns. Especially in winter. 3 of the waiting pads are disintegrating. And the slip lanes encourage drivers to blast through on all sides. I’m surprised people aren’t constantly murdered there.

Pausing the irreverence for a moment for some serious times.

Living in poverty is linked to higher rates of disease, mental health distress, addictions, disability, and a shorter lifespan.

And helping people be healthy and cool, does, guess what? Right! the ability to help others and not get tied up with the legal system/other junk. In short everyone wins!

Two things to do on my day off tomorrow. Vote in the provincial election and go to the Halloween store.

One should be pretty scary, the other is the Halloween store. Zing!

Seriously though. Can we be done with the cons garbage already? You know the old saying, “one step forward, two steps back”? That’s all they offer; dragging progress backwards. Then we’ve got to waste more time fixing everything they’ve broken.

C’maan people! #Vote #MBPoli #Manitoba #WpgPoli #Winnipeg #CanPoli

So this is a… choice. https://pressprogress.ca/heather-stefanson-launches-ads-declaring-she-will-never-search-landfill-for-remains-of-murdered-women/

Although saying the quiet part out loud to try and further lock down the racist a-hole vote is pretty on point for the conservatives. #wpgpoli #mbpoli #Winnipeg #Manitoba #MMIW

Hey #Winnipeg. A reminder that the World Police & Fire Games is taking 17 million dollars of mostly public money (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pG_QyXOssPjRrNnqJeWIXQ8pjXpiUlgm/view?usp=sharing); including giving "free transit access to any groups or people accredited by the WPFG Host Society as well as waive all leases, subleases and short-term use agreements for city-owned properties during the games."

So a bunch of cops can go fishing... https://www.wpfg2023.com/angling

So remember. If you want affordable transit or shelter uhhh be a cop, I guess is the lesson?

The City of Winnipeg is working very hard to hide the truth about the claimed benefits of the proposed widening of Route 90.

Many of the claims run counter to general modern road design concepts, but even the city's own data contradicts the claims.

This post does a great job breaking the mythical claims down

There's so many awful narratives,, and crappy policy ideas floating around in #winnipeg and #manitoba more broadly that I feel negligent not speaking out, not amplifying the sense amid the nonsense.

It's been a while since I've been really engaged online, and I don't I've quite mastered Mastodon, so I apologize in advance if mess anything up 🙂

#Winnipeg… I’m realizing more and more that you don’t know how to do this right. This whole being a city thing… #wpgpoli #infrastructure

I know online petitions are weird but peeps in #Winnipeg could use some help. If you’re able; please sign to get the city to reconsider funding for permanent fixtures downtown.

The latest Dear Winnipeg blog post from Elmwood guy is timely. While #Winnipeg streets get plowed of snow, so many of the sidewalks and bike lanes are left unnavigable. We need to do better. #DearWinnipeg #ElmwoodGuy #WpgPoli

Great post on residential streets and sidewalk clearing costs from Elmwood Guy.

Sidewalks are cheaper to clear than streets. Should we cut back on street clearing in favour of sidewalks? 🤔​

I remember when I first dipped my toes in the #fediverse maybe four years ago, and did some searching for people from #winnipeg and #manitoba I was disappointed to find mostly biased political ranting. After a point, I just stopped searching, and focused on enjoying the interesting ideas bouncing around.

Now, with the exodus from the birdsite, it''s exciting to see all the new local (to me) folks showing up here.

Maybe I'll start posting more about #wpgpoli and #mbpoli now 😉
