“It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.”

Luke 17:2 KJV

And that’s red letter text, by the way.

I am very lucky to be able to go biking through the boreal forest and on the frozen surface of the 10th largest lake in the world.

Lake Winnipeg is spectacular!

Agreed. Normally I am a strong supporter of city centre train stations, but the O-Train connection from downtown to Tremblay Station (i.e. Via) is actually great.

Unless it were a through-station that solved other issues, bringing Via trains back to Rideau doesn't seem necessary.

It's the Australian equivalent of the most Canadian headline ever

Weather forecast for Winnipeg showing it is currently -38°C with a windchill of -51

Weather forecast for Antarctica showing it is currently -20°C

Any all inclusives in Antarctica? I'd like to get away from this cold.

The other day we ordered supper from Gojo, an amazing Ethiopian restaurant near us on Sargent. Everything was fantastic!

But it was this bright green, super spicy sauce that smells and tastes strongly of garlic and cilantro that I loved the most. It's called Kochkocha, and it's wonderful.

It's me

We watched The Princess Bride with the kids for the first time last night.

They absolutely loved it, and the breakfast conversation this morning is basically nothing but quotes from the movie.

You know, @ryankturnbull.bsky.social, the path to a career in the Anglican Church can be quite varied.

Now that I've started winter biking, it looks like I'm going to die of heat exhaustion this afternoon.

I dressed for the cold this morning, and this afternoon not only will it be hot, I'll be pedalling hard into the 30-50 km/h headwind. Yay.

I don't even know what to say. This is beyond anything I thought I'd see in my lifetime.

I'd just like to say that it's always refreshing to read about Canadian politics, where we use Red and Blue correctly.

The fate of our planet has been sealed by the horrors of raisins in baking.

Bike path through the snow beside a skating trail, with lights in the trees, at The Forks in Winnipeg.

Not the best photo, but I went on a bike ride this evening on the frozen rivers and through The Forks in Winnipeg. There are several kilometres of skating trails, with a plowed/groomed walk/bike path beside it all the way along.

The Forks does a great job with festive lights to make it feel magical

I remember reading once that US adults always long for the community they had at university, because so many of them go away to school in college towns, and it's the only time they ever live in dense, walkable, transit-friendly communities.

It's too bad this isn't a goal for all urban areas.

How does the new routing into the airport play into this? Would the airport become a through station where trains from Chicago enter the airport using the new tracks, leave the airport using the "old" tracks, and continue onward to South Bend Union Station?

Is that even possible?

My unconditional love for my kids knows *some* bounds.

Did TSN buy the rights to the entire Triumph catalogue or something?

Give a kid an iPhone, and you'll never have to take them to an extracurricular activity

YouTube video by Waveroom Toronto The Simpsons out here trolling us 😭 🏷️ #waveroom #toronto #canada #mississauga #ontario #brampton

... actually spent time in Toronto absolutely loves it as well. It's fun, friendly, exciting, beautiful, and interesting.

As for Marge Simpson, she can keep her opinions about Toronto to herself:

As a westerner, I am apparently contractually-obligated to hate Toronto.

But the problem is, Toronto is an amazing city. I've barely scratched the surface of exploring it, but have found so many little pubs and music venues, and biking around is wonderful.

Everyone I know from Winnipeg who has...

Also, Moon of the Crusted Snow and its sequel are absolutely amazing books.

Might I recommend some WinnCon?

Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew. Works for me!
