On this day 82 years ago, on February 19, 1942, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, in the height of insanity of racism after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, signed Executive Order 9066. It ordered all Japanese Americans on the West Coast to be summarily rounded up and imprisoned

Few people realize it, but this study shows the average cost of owning a vehicle in Canada is $16,000 per year. Building cities that allow families to drive less or own fewer vehicles would go a long way towards solving affordability and cost of living. nationalpost.com/news/canada/co…

33 years ago tonight, 14 women went to bed thinking about their finals, future in STEM and the upcoming holiday season. They didn’t know that these dreams threatened a man’s sense of self worth and that they wouldn’t survive to see their goals and aspirations become a reality.

@ConerdMcDorkus @bpincott @cityofwinnipeg Better training programs would be a good start.

Hi @cityofwinnipeg Does the City have a “no idling” policy? This #winnipeg van was parked & idling for 90 minutes this afternoon as 4 workers walked up & down the street. It sat empty & idling the entire time. This seems like both a waste of GHG’s & money. #wpgpoli

@wpgpolice good afternoon. The tragic signals are broken at Portage and Maryland. It’s a bit crazy now, be good to have someone directing traffic.

If someone told you HALF of our global economies would be destroyed due to climate change, would you believe them? Well, the research doesn’t lie. We're on a collision course, and this is a data-driven reality check. 1/7

@WabKinew Congratulations Manitoba, you made the right choice.

Manitoba – thank you so much for this honour. Our team will give everything we have for the next four years to serve you, the people of this province. Tomorrow, the work begins to make life better. I know we can do it. Because together, we’re capable of great things.

I have been voting since I was 18. Until I was in my 40’s none of the people I had voted for ever won an election. I’m not sure if I changed, or if everyone else did. Advanced polling started in Manitoba this weekend. If you can; go out and Vote. It matters.

@AmericanwomanU1 @RandySevy @UnderhillVicky No longer applies. Now that you’re doing the bagging (the work); you are an employee, there is no customer.

@RandySevy @UnderhillVicky Whatever happened to, “the customer’s always right”?

So I am at Walmart scanning and bagging my almost $300 worth of groceries while the employee "monitors" and then this happened. Her - why are you double bagging all of your groceries? Me - excuse me? Her - you are wasting our bags! Me - if you don't like the way I'm bagging the groceries, feel free to come on over here and bag them yourself. Her - that's not my job! Me - okay, then I will bag my groceries how I please if that's all right with you. Her - why are you using two bags?! Me - because the bags are weak and I don't want the handles to break or the bottoms to rip out. Her - well that's because you are putting too much stuff in the bag. If you took half of that stuff out and put it in a different bag then you wouldn't need to double bag. *10 seconds of me just staring at her. Me - so you want me to split these items in half and put half of them in a different bag so that I don't have to double bag. Her - exactly. Me - so I would still be using two bags to hold the same number of items. Her - no because you wouldn't be double bagging. *me pressing two fingers to my left eye in an attempt to make it stop twitching. Me - okay so here I have a jug of milk and a bottle of juice double bagged. If I take the milk out and remove the double bagging and just put the milk in the single bag and the juice in that single bag I'm still using two bags for these two items. Her- no because you are not double bagging them so it's not the same number of bags. *me looking around at about 10 other customers who at this point are enjoying the show. Me- is this like that Common Core math stuff I keep hearing about? Her- never mind you just don't get it. And with that, she went back to her little Podium so she could continue texting or playing games on her phone or whatever it was she was doing before she decided to come over and critique my bagging skills
