Before Trump Blasted U.S.-Canada Bridge, Owner of Competing Span Lobbied Administration A Detroit billionaire met with Howard Lutnick, the commerce secretary, hours before President Trump said he would block the opening of a new bridge connecting Detroit to Canada, officials said.

The billionaire owner of a bridge connecting Michigan with Canada met Howard Lutnick, the U.S. Secretary of Commerce, on Monday hours before President Trump lambasted a competing span.

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

Dear men: Watching content and falling for it is not going to help you bring back the old fashion days. We can do better.

We have an update on the Liam Ramos family, and it isn’t good.

The family is in hiding, and Liam is waking up in the middle of the night screaming for his daddy.

It's Time to Rage Against the AI Music Machine If AI music takes over "humans will begin to echo the machines, and there will be a downward spiral into slop."

"In 1999, I interviewed Prince for TIME and he told me to leave my tape recorder off because he didn’t trust what future technology might do with unauthorized recordings of his voice.

At the time, I thought Prince was being paranoid..."

Trump says Gordie Howe bridge won't open without Canadian concessions Canada has footed the entire cost of the $5.7-billion Gordie Howe bridge construction project, aiming to recover costs through toll collections.

Another reminder that no nation should make any deal with Trump’s United States. None. You can’t make any deal with a corrupt crook that will break every deal. Simple as that.

San Diego mayoral race

“Sometimes I think we do ourselves a disservice by calling such options ‘bold’ when frankly they’re just common sense given the real challenges cities face. The truth is, we tend to think of them as bold because not enough cities are doing them, even though they should.” — @brenttoderian.bsky.social

‘He’s not the same’: Father of Liam Conejo Ramos says 5-year-old continues to suffer Some people thought they say the 5-year-old during the Super Bowl halftime show. But Liam is still in hiding with his family, after he and his father were detained and then released from a Texas deten...

Cars covered with snow parked on city street.

Cars covered with snow parked on city street.

Something to keep in mind the next time the city tries to repurpose parking and drivers complain that every last car is necessary at all times. The storm was two weeks ago.

I know we’re overly habituated to it, but this is some truly shameful cowardice: a news network afraid to show what happened at a globally watched event

There are spots along Portage that would almost benefit from “Double Diamond” lanes so buses don’t get stuck behind each other.

From his now-deleted and grotesque post targeting the Obamas, to his doctored image that altered the expression and skin tone of a Black civil rights lawyer, his use of AI is simply the newest form of an old pattern: open racism from Donald Trump.

Has anyone else in Winnipeg noticed that the transfers are lining up much better with transit these days?

As long as it's not car congested, timing is great. We need diamond lanes so this can be always!

Opportunities are there for the taking, especially when one considers that so much of this has already been not only tried elsewhere but found to be successful. Enough studies!

A racist screenshot of Michelle and Barack Obama

Last night, Trump posted a video to his social media platform that contained a racist clip showing Barack and Michelle Obama as monkeys. It's still up:

@mmarginet.bsky.social guess they didn't read your editorial in the freep. www.winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/anal...

Apparently they did not! Ugh, absolutely insane to not be aggressively investing in transit. Such a high ROI!

Thanks Dave!
Yep, no reason for us to be dilly dallying on Safe Speeds!

Opinion: Creating a city where kids can safely walk, bike to school

Creating a city where kids can safely walk, bike to school. Great OpEd from @mmarginet.bsky.social "Honestly, if we’ve created neighbourhoods where independent, active travel to and from school is likened to childhood endangerment, we truly have lost our way." t.ly/5Eu0l
