Great but no tornado warning for #Winnipeg. #Mbstorm #EMS #EmergencyAlert

The massive wildfire in southern France got worse today. 135 km² burned already.

Auto collision

Auto collision that blocked NB Archibald between Mission and Narin in Elmwood and St. Boniface today. Poor driving and poor road design= dangerous results. #Winnipeg

They might squeeze in this year if they run the table. Certainly bubble material this season. Playoffs if they stay healthy next year is not out of the question. Kelsey Plum has also been good for them too.

Babyboomers to Millennials and Gen Z: Just work harder.
US: ahhhh......

Bike lanes are for people like me. I’m not a CYCLIST. I’m not even a Cyclist, I’m simply a cyclist. When I think about a journey and I remember the bike lane ends half way - I drive. But if they had the lanes…

Opinion: Placing the economy over the environment Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew has been heavily criticized over the past several weeks for his government’s treatment of environment issues. Last week, it was revealed that his cabinet recently issued an ...

The location of his stolen bike is known, but this Winnipegger can't get it back | CBC News A Winnipeg man can only watch as his stolen bike with an AirTag moves all over the city. He's tried tracking it down as he awaits a police investigation to take effect.

getting police out of their cars, and lastly having a department that deals with bicycle theft/similar crimes. I think this would help gain trust on all sides. #Winnipeg www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I make the argument often with people we need police in #Winnipeg. However, the difference I say between two camps (defund and more police funding) is reforming it to be more efficient, including being more inclusive, more cops walking around and getting to know the neighborhood 1/
