Well this is certainly not good news for this NDP govt. Spin messaging is usually always exposed in time by the raw numbers #mbpoli

For an organisation like Siloam to go "media silent" is a big deal. This is unusual and a sign of major problems. If I were a board member, I'd be seriously concerned right now about this spiralling further out of control. #winnipeg

Despite some of the highest equalization increases, the MB govt still cannot balance the books. $1b more expected in this budget and still projecting a $500b deficit #mbpoli

No pressure Madan. It's not like anyone is expecting you to be productive for that salary...it's funny/sad - another not so thought out "plan" by the MB govt. cbc.ca/news/canada/ma…

Hold CRA to same standards imposed on people who owe - my reassessment notice came, 2 weeks to reply, owing bill came within days. Tried calling CRA lately? Disaster over there. Taxpayers complain of long waits for CRA to fix its errors, deliver refunds share.google/MCS2WX5uPKiZT6…

For those who are afraid 15 min cities destroy choice & limit freedoms..You need to get out more. It's about creating more choice & amenities close to you, not less Before Spending Billions On Rail, Italy Mapped Everything Around It. A high tech plan share.google/2qsKRSqNn5u6bV…

Happy to hear this. This place is such an eyesore and blight on the neighbourhood in its current form. No alcohol will be served in the refurbished hotel and the vendor will be a restaurant. Should be good for the #westendwpg cbc.ca/news/canada/ma….

My kids and I were just commenting the other day how much we really like the look of these lights on Portage Ave while driving past them. Terrible idea to replace them with an ugly metal poles #winnipeg Light posts a triumph of utility over beauty winnipeg-can.newsmemory.com/?publink=0ecb2…

Delete & block the text. DO NOT click the link OR respond to the text. Mark as spam & possibly inform authorities if serious enough. You must always question any requests you get asking for payment through a texting method.

What do these look like? It's a number you don't recognize (here-250 area code & listed as West Kootenay Landscaping) and they provide a website link that is not the real one. You can always check the REAL website first if you are unsure (I entered in the ticket #, doesn't exist)

Got a phishing text from the #winnipeg parking authority this morning telling me I had an unpaid parking ticket and asking me to pay it. Was wondering how long it would take scammers to try this one after the city removed the meters. Beware! #wpgnews #wpgcrime

7. Hackney cabs. Love the uniformity of look and nod to tradition & history. 8. Density 5x that of Winnipeg & makes most of the above possible. 9. Feeling safe walking around 10. No food issues. Preservatives, msg & the general crap we put in food here kills me 3/3

3. Small store frontages. It makes things so much more interesting, safer feeling and vibrant. 4. Tap on & off transit payments on the tube and busses 5. Controlled tipping & tax included in the price. It is out of hand here 6. Walking culture. It's a pain to drive in London /2

Quick little trip to the UK and here's a short list of what I'll miss most returning to #winnipeg in no particular order: 1. Rivers are for the people. Huge sections of the Thames are for public enjoyment. 2. Standing pubs on streetside & takeaway beers. /1

Compared to a decade ago, we spend an unusual amount of time & money on loss prevention strategies in-store & online. Retail has become our battlefield but we are not soldiers. It's increasingly difficult to remain calm. We are a small business and we are fed up #mbpoli #wpgpoli

People are fed up. It is worse than ever. In the worst 8 week period in 10 yrs, we lost 1 FT staff, $20k retail, 2 attempted break ins & $5k additional security expenses. Ever-present threat of violence at till has store owners rethinking life in city tinyurl.com/237m7u73

A ridiculous motion. Biz tax hinders growth and affects small business disproportionately. "Couns. Wyatt (Transcona) and Orlikow (River Heights-Fort Garry) moved a motion to raise the business tax rate by one %age point, from 4.84% to 5.84%, but it failed to pass" #wpgpoli

Huge $ increase when you consider the majority of our property assessments also increased significantly over the past few years. cbc.ca/news/canada/ma…

Nice to see something so positive on the front page, I was very moved when I heard Ms. Steadman sing Oh Canada with passion and perfection last week. Great job inspiring many! ‘Struck by the power and clarity of her voice’ winnipeg-can.newsmemory.com/?publink=23501…

The archives are kept in a dismal state in a terrible warehouse and we risk losing records of #winnipeg - The records should be protected and made accessible for all Winnipeggers to view and learn about our history. They help us learn from our successes but also our mistakes 2/2

As I championed in the mayoral campaign, I still believe this is a very important move for the city. I applaud @ScottGillingham on pushing this forward, despite a more refined cost estimate 1/2 City willing to cough up more coin to safeguard its archives winnipeg-can.newsmemory.com/?publink=176cd…
