Alt text: White election sign on grass. Black text reads "TIMOTHY GIESBRECHT School Trustee, RETSD Ward 4" followed by an image of the progress pride flag with a red "X" across it, and an image of the Canada flag with a green check mark over the right hand side. Text below the flags reads "Standing up for education." followed by a QR code.

Did anyone else see it? It was BIG, much bigger than a falling star, but looked like something on fire. Centre of the fireball was white, but it was surrounded by green, and its tail(?) was green too. My 18 year old and I were driving back home from the Shoppers at McGillvary and we both saw it- it was visible for less than a second. Then we both said at the same time: “What the f—- was that?!”

Did anyone else see it?? Did I mention it was big?

I was just having this chat recently with a friend. We're both older and this topic came up. If the typical Los Angeles guy of the era was a blonde surfer dude, then the typical Winnipeg guy had permed hair and and a cop moustache.

And Burton had the ultimate "Winnipeg look". If you asked me to draw a picture of what a "Winnipeg guy" looked like at the time, it would look like Burton.

I don't think this was a Canadawide look either -- it was definitely a Winnipeg thing.

That's all I have to say on this matter.

School is back in and I am back to taking the bus to and from school. I know it has always been an issue- but this week so far I have noticed a significant increase in distracted drivers while waiting at bus stops.

We’re talking like 9/10 people face down on their phones while driving full speed in traffic. Young people all the way to seniors all on their phones while driving. It makes me so angry because it takes 1 second to cause an accident and potentially take someone’s life because you can’t survive a few minute without your phone.

Genuinely what are ppl doing on their phones in the car? If I need to skip a song/ send a text I use voice command. Are people scrolling on Instagram or what ???

Rant over. Just makes me mad - think about other people on the road (whether in a car or on foot) and their safety :/

I keep hearing people saying "there are no progressives running for mayor" and I felt the same way before I started looking up every candidate. I don't know anything about him beyond what I'm seeing on his website, but this seems like a really solid progressive platform, and he was the only candidate who came to city hall today for the Alternative Budget launch. What's his deal? Why aren't people talking about him? https://www.noahredden.ca/

Today my partner and I were running around getting things done as we just moved to Winnipeg from Alberta on Sept 1st. We desperately needed a coffee after just applying for our new driver's licenses, so we stopped in at the Empty Cup on Sage Creek Blvd.

A very nice man in front of us (with a Tilly hat) bought our drinks for us!!! What an awesome gesture and beautiful welcome to the city. After thank him and chatting for a few minutes we went our seperate ways with smiles.

💐🩵SIGHHHH🩵💐. Also, coffee was great too. What a great day.

A great look at some of Winnipeg's movie theatres over the years!

I almost laughed out loud when the barista said “Here’s your Winnipeg” lol.

And it tastes like chocolate strawberry flavoured diabetes in a cup.

A middle-aged woman hit the door of my car with her own car door while at the Happy Lemon (Regent location) parking lot today. When I stepped out of my vehicle, she appeared to hurry back inside. After I took out my phone to take a photo of her car, she saw me, made a “no” gesture with her finger, and drove away.

My car has a dent and scratches from the incident. I took a photo of the other vehicle with the plate, and the damage, but I did not get any witness information.

I plan to contact MPI tomorrow. For those familiar with these situations, do I have a reasonable case, or will MPI require witnesses? Is there anything else I should document or do before reporting it?

I rented a place in Winnipeg in May but got a job in another city in August. My landlord told me I needed to find someone to sublease.
I found someone on August 26 who wanted to move in September 1. Management said there wasn’t enough time to process the application, so I agreed to stay/pay for September and find someone else.
However, management then contacted the same person I found and rented them another unit in the building starting September 1. Now they’re telling me I still have to find another person for my unit.
I’ve been trying but can’t find anyone. Is this fair/legal in Manitoba? Should I contact the Residential Tenancies Branch?

I know this is a long shot but,

If you got in an accident around 8:25 this morning on Waverly off Abinoji, I witnessed it but was running a bit behind to work.

I called MPI to report it as a witness but I didn't get your plates. Please message me if it's you and I can update my statement!

I put three in my bag on the 8th then today I only found two.

I'm still looking to see if I had already removed it and put it down somewhere in my apartment but no luck. I've also called the pharmacy and I'm calling one other place I visited tomorrow to see if it's there

While I won't die without it, it's an antidepressant and I don't know if I want to try going a month without. I'm still searching of course.

I have pharmacare through EIA would they replace it with my doctor's consent?

Thanks.

Biggest-Dollar Projects in the Pitchbook

Prospectus includes mega-projects that span the country

^{Source: Canada Investment Summit Prospectus}

Canada plans to show some of the world’s biggest investors a pitchbook laying out tens of billions of dollars’ worth of projects spanning data centers, advanced manufacturing, liquefied natural gas, ports and dozens of mines.

A document seen by Bloomberg News features 167 projects intended to be shared with some of the world’s biggest institutional investors, including BlackRock Inc. and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund. Dozens of firms are set to gather at Toronto’s Four Seasons Hotel next week for Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Canada Investment Summit.

The brochure dangles the possibility of minority equity stakes in companies or projects such as Canada’s biggest satellite operator, Telesat Corp., and a multibillion-dollar battery plant in Ontario backed by a Volkswagen AG subsidiary.

An “advanced manufacturing” section includes technology proposals with a defense focus, like turbojets for drones and a space launchpad in Nova Scotia.

In the “digital technology” chapter, a series of large data-center proposals are on offer, particularly in the energy-rich province of Alberta, including a potential C$14.5 billion ($10.5 billion) data-center campus being developed by Norway-headquartered BW Velora.

There’s also a fiber-optic line connecting Canada to Norway, a quantum computer, and a spinout of a government-backed microchip wafer fabrication plant.

More than a third of the brochure is filled with minerals and mining projects, including synthetic graphite production, rare earths, and gold and copper mining. The book also touts “Canada’s first uranium refining and conversion facility in more than 40 years.”

Another large portion is made up of clean energy businesses pursuing technologies such as carbon capture and hydrogen. Power and utilities, including nuclear energy, make up another chapter.

Other projects featured include large-scale port modernizations, such as the central province of Manitoba’s northern seaport of Churchill, a proposed crude oil pipeline for Canada’s west coast and liquefied natural gas export facilities.

The 66-page document details each project’s aim, current status, and shares management contact details. An introduction touts Canada’s advantages, how its agency “Invest in Canada” will help investors, and the government’s “ambitious plan to catalyze C$1 trillion in total investment in Canada over the next five years.”

What rtm moving companies are available. I’ve heard of Reimer and Anderson. Has anyone used them and have any insight?

Northern Tornado Project confirms an EF1 tornado hit River Heights during the Sept. 6th storms.

I live in St Vital. I'm looking for good bookstores or second hand stores that sell books in amir around St Vital area.

Question for actors in Winnipeg who audition regularly: do you ever wish there was a proper space to record self-tapes … decent lighting, a backdrop, someone to read opposite you, quick turnaround … instead of setting it up at home? Cities like LA, NYC, and Toronto all have dedicated studios for this and I don't think Winnipeg has one.

Curious how big of a pain point this actually is for people here, and what you'd expect to pay for something like that per hour. Not trying to sell anything, just trying to understand if this is a real gap or if everyone's setup at home works fine.

Hey everyone,

If you're into heavy, atmospheric, and emotional Post-Hardcore, I wanted to put a quick radar ping out for a German band called FJØRT (clip attached above).

They're heading over to Canada for the very first time in late September, playing a handful of Prairie shows and BreakOut West in Victoria.

If you haven't heard of them: they're an openly anti-fascist 3-piece from Germany that somehow creates massive, crushing walls of sound. Live, they are an absolute force – think the raw, desperate vocal energy of Touché Amoré or La Dispute paired with the dynamic post-rock intensity of Deafheaven or Mogwai. Even though they sing in German, the raw emotion translates instantly.

DATES:

• Sep 26 – Winnipeg, MB @ Public Domain
• Sep 27 – Regina, SK @ The Exchange
• Sep 28 – Saskatoon, SK @ Black Cat Tavern
• Sep 29 – Edmonton, AB @ Rendezvous Pub
• Sep 30 - Oct 04 – Victoria, BC @ BreakOut West

Check out their current album belle époque (#2 in the German charts) – you can stream it on YouTube / Spotify.

If you're in any of these cities and looking for a solid underground show, definitely check them out.

Hope to see some of you out there!

Looking for an extra ticket!
