@WpgDaylightTkr Remember that if we didn't do daylight savings time, that sunrise would still be at 8 today. And we used to change clocks at the end of March, but we don't anymore.

It is fitting that on March 7, the sun rose before 7 a.m. in #Winnipeg for the first time this year! Sunrise was at 6:59 a.m. Sunset is at 6:20 p.m. Don't get too used to it, though. #DaylightSavings will knock back sunrises to almost 8 a.m. again after March 11.

Ok. We’re watching Gilmore Girls. We love @MaiselTV. So we looked up what else Amy Sherman-Palladino has done. I’ve never heard of Bunheads, but it’s next on our list. I’m going to assume the one season is equally awesome and people just didn’t appreciate it.

Correction to original tweet. Due to a quirk of tax calculator design, it wasn’t including CPP and EI so the Ontario rate goes up to 26.9%. Still a long way from the much higher taxes most Canadians assume they have compared with Americans.

There’s a lot of mythology about Canadian vs US tax rates. In Ontario, a person making $100k a year pays 22.53% in tax. In NYC, they’d pay 31.16%. Toronto property tax is 0.63% of assessed value. In NYC, 0.88%. Plus Americans have to pay ~$500/mo for their health insurance.

LACK OF FUNDING SHUTTERS BUILD TRAINING PROGRAM I'm so frustrated & disappointed about this announcement. We negotiated in good faith for over 2 years. My heart aches for those who won't have a chance to build the life they've dreamed about for themselves & their families. 😢.

@Lecutos @JFaid Property taxes are directed to schools even if the owner has no children... EI taxes are paid by everyone... One bus can take 40 cars off the road freeing up room... We need to decide if transit is a public service worth providing If yes, then it's reasonable to fund it

Canada will not advance past the group stage. In your opinion... Did the #CanMNT meet, exceed or fall short of expectations at the #FIFAWorldCup? 🤔

"Unequivocally, we won't touch the Greenbelt...I've heard it loud and clear from people, they don't want me to touch the Greenbelt. We won't touch the Greenbelt." Not only is developing the Greenbelt appalling. So is lying about it. Be angry, Ontarians. Don't let it happen!

@MitchSellar The list is much longer than two. Last I checked every division had at least 1 far right anti-vax anti-public health candidate.

In the U.S. people ran for smaller positions such as this and were able to sneak in with relative ease, with serious consequences for everyone. Realize every elected spot is that for a reason, it matters, make sure your views and values are represented. winnipeg.ctvnews.ca/pair-of-covid-…

@hankgreen If only it didn't take 15 years and several billion dollars to build a nuclear plant.

There is only one strong contender to take over baseload power generation from coal and natural gas right now and it is nuclear.
