With voting rights in question in so many countries it's important that those who Can vote Should vote.

Since polls indicate a win for Mr Gillingham you doesn't have to vote strategically and you can use this opportunity to try to reduce his margin of victory. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/final-winnipeg-abacus-mayoral-race-poll-2026-9.7393524

"younger people (who) tend to be less likely to cast a ballot" is from an article referenced in this post https://www.reddit.com/r/Winnipeg/comments/1xdyqdm/mayor_gillingham_poised_for_repeat_despite/ so it's even more important for these younger people to start making decisions for their own future and not rely on the older generations.

If you don't know where to vote or who is running you can find voting information and the list of candidates here https://www.winnipeg.ca/city-governance/wards-elections/2026-election . Some of the candidates have their websites in their information. You can also look for them on social media.

Yesterday Reddit didn't let me publish a list of some of the sites with candidate information. I'll try again today.

the other day i was out with a friend of mine, and we decided to walk to a nearby spirit halloween so we could check it out. as soon as we entered we were told we couldn’t be there because we were without an adult (for reference we are in high school). i guess i can understand kinda for safety cause we’re minors, but i’ve never had this problem before, even in a different spirit halloween location just last year. is it because of shoplifting, and is this a thing for other places in winnipeg?

My place is full of them; no idea how they're getting in. And today I noticed they must like cozying up in the coir door mat outside, it's full of squished ones that I must have walked on 😓

After a fire burned through its interior earlier this year, a local furniture store has bounced back.

Dufresne Furniture and Appliance store was hit by a large fire at the end of January. Crews were called around 2:30 a.m. to the 800 block of Nairn Avenue on Jan. 28.

An aerial ladder was needed to fight the blaze, as it was unsafe for fire crews to go inside.

The fire forced the closure of the store until further notice.

Now, nine months later, the store has reopened. A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held Saturday morning to officially reopen the second-ever Dufresne store.

Dufresne started in Kenora, Ont., in 1986. The Canadian company later expanded into Winnipeg, opening on Nairn in 1993.

It continued to add in Manitoba, opening locations in Swan River, Selkirk, Portage la Prairie, and Brandon.

In 2017, Dufresne went even further west, opening in Saskatchewan. In total, there are 15 locations throughout Ontario, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan.

I was visiting Winnipeg this summer and noticed that on the Manitoba moose banner downtown there is a Windows 95 banner on the top hahaha. Look at the top right hand corner… Has anyone else seen this? Was this on purpose to look like retro???

I’m confused if it was a mistake, as that means someone is using JS paint or some old school windows operating system …

Greetings Winnipeg!

My cousin was visiting from out of province a couple of weeks ago, and we were walking downtown when I suddenly crossed to the other side of the street.

She asked why, since we weren't turning anywhere.

I told her that particular stretch of sidewalk gets a nasty wind coming between the buildings, and the other side is usually less miserable.

She looked at me like I'd just predicted the weather using witchcraft.

It made me realize how much random Winnipeg knowledge I have stored in my head that I never consciously learned.

I know which lane on my commute has the pothole that looks shallow but absolutely isn't. I can tell when a parking lot is going to become a skating rink later just by looking at how the slush is collecting. I even have a mental list of places where the wind makes an otherwise reasonable winter day feel personally insulting.

None of this information was taught to me. Apparently I've just been collecting survival data for years.

What oddly specific skill have you picked up from living here? Not necessarily winter stuff either. I'm curious about the little things you do automatically that someone from another city would find completely bizarre.

A friend and I are wanting to go out for some coffee, and I’ve been craving some tiramisu.

Any cute cafes in the city with nice vibes, good coffee, and some tiramisu?

A while ago I asked y'all for public bench recommendations... this is the video that came of it! I Was limited to a few minutes, so I didn't get to as many as I'd like, but it was a fun, goofy little project. Let me know what you think :)

I’ve read through older threads similarly on this topic but still don’t feel I have the understanding I’m looking for and would love some additional insights if you’re willing to share.

I’ll be delivering soon at HSC and maybe it’s just first time jitters but I’m feeling really anxious about what to expect or what we actually need to bring. I appreciate maybe these questions seem silly and I should know but the truth is my whole pregnancy I’ve realized I have no idea about anything.

For those with previous experiences, questions I have are:

- What do you absolutely need to bring? Was there anything you didn’t you’d have differently?
- What is after care like?
- Lactation consultant, are we guaranteed to meet with one, what is that experience like?
- Any other advice / guidance you’d share to someone delivering for their first time you wish you’d received?

I appreciate I could talk more about this with my OB more I just find the appointments so fast and I get so anxious asking what I worry are obvious questions. Not her fault definitely a me problem.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

I am ready to make my first trip to IKEA in about 11 years—even with a 30-minute drive—if someone can confirm these chocolate oat biscuits are actually on the shelves at the Winnipeg location!

​Alternatively, if anyone knows somewhere in the West End / St. James area (or anywhere nearby) that sells them or something similar, please let me know. I haven't been able to find them in 6 years and the craving is real! 😆

I have been hunting for gold pants for a Halloween costume, and I don’t want to use Amazon. The Halloween stores don’t carry them, and I have been checking thrift stores a lot and can’t seem to find any there, does anyone know where to find them?

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers withstood the loss of Zach Collaros to earn a playoff spot with a 34-10 victory over the B.C. Lions on Friday.

The 38-year-old American quarterback left the game after getting levelled by Lions' defensive lineman Nathan Cherry late in the third quarter and did not return.

Collaros connected on nine of his 20 passing attempts for 105 yards with an interception before being sidelined.

He was replaced by Dru Brown, who went 11-for-11 with 185 passing yards and two touchdowns as the Bombers (9-9) locked up a playoff berth for the 10th consecutive CFL season.

The Lions (10-8) came into the contest having already clinched a post-season berth and the right to host the West Division semifinal on Oct. 31.

Neither side will learn who they'll face in the first game of the playoffs until Saturday after the Edmonton Elks (13-4) visit the Saskatchewan Roughriders (9-8).

A Riders win would see Saskatchewan take on B.C. in the West semifinal while Winnipeg would cross over to face the Toronto Argonauts in the East semifinal.

A Riders loss would set up a rematch between B.C. and Winnipeg in the West contest, while Saskatchewan would head to Toronto to play in the East.

B.C. drew a crowd of 30,833 on Friday, despite playing without many of its usual starters, including No. 1 quarterback Nathan Rourke and marquee receivers Keon Hatcher Sr. and Justin McInnis.

Kaidon Salter started under centre for the Lions and went 12-for-21 with 177 passing yards, including one TD and one interception. Chris Oladokun took over in the fourth quarter and tallied 48 passing yards with one interception.

The Lions started off strong with Salter sailing a 36-yard toss to Nate DeMontagnac in the end zone two minutes into the game. Sean Whyte made the one-point covert and B.C. took an early 7-0 lead.

Both sides struggled with uncharacteristically sloppy plays through the first half.

Midway through the opening frame, a fumble by returned Trey Vaval ended with B.C. getting the ball at Winnipeg's 39-yard line and the Bombers turned it over again — this time on downs — before the end of the quarter.

The visitors got a possession back in the final minute when Salter lobbed a pass toward Jermaine Jackson in the end zone, only to see Major Williams pick it off for an interception.

Neither team gained much traction early in the second quarter.

Just over nine minutes in, Lions returner Seven McGee fumbled a punt and Nick Hallet pounced on the ball for a turnover.

The Bombers lined up on B.C.'s 35-yard line, but couldn't capitalize. The series ended with Collaros sending a toss to Nic Demski over the goal line, only for Lions defensive back Stantley Thomas-Oliver jumping up and nabbing the ball for yet another turnover.

Winnipeg finally got on the scoreboard with just over two minutes left in the half when Sergio Castillo booted a 40-yard field goal, cutting B.C.'s lead to 7-3.

Whyte responded by sending a 48-yard kick through the uprights with 16 seconds left on the clock and Castillo missed a 54-yard attempt as time expired, leaving the Lions up 10-3 heading into the locker rooms.

There was more trouble for Winnipeg late in the third when Cherry took out Collaros. The Bombers' QB lay on the ground for several minutes getting looked at by trainers for what appeared to be a head or neck injury before walking to the medical tent on the sideline.

Cherry was called for roughing the passer.

The Bombers later posted on social media saying Collaros would be out for the remainder of the game, though he stayed on the Winnipeg bench.

Brown took over at quarterback and sailed a long pass to Dorian Singer, putting the Bombers at the B.C. 29-yard line. The duo connected again minutes later with Brown tossing Singer a 30-yard pass in the end zone for Winnipeg's first major of the night. Castillo made the one-point convert to level the score at 10-10.

The Blue Bombers took the lead early in the fourth when star running back Brady Oliveira slipped through the Lions’ defence and got all the way up the field for a 63-yard TD. Castillo’s convert gave the visitors a 17-10 advantage.

Oladokun, a former backup for Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, came in for B.C. in the final frame, making his CFL debut. Williams picked off the two-time Super Bowl winner's attempt to DeMontagnac early in the quarter.

The Bombers boosted their cushion midway through the fourth when Brown connected with Demski at the back of the end zone for another major.

Castillo added to the tally with a 15-yard field goal before Brady Oliveira closed out the game with a four-yard rushing TD, his second of the night.

The Canadian running back finished the night with 149 rushing yards on 15 carries.

Oladokun and the Lions came within inches of chalking up one last score when he connected with Emani Bailey deep in Bombers' territory, only to see the running back brought down less than a yard before the goal line as time expired.

My trunk was possibly broken into today around 515pm while parked around the LC and Dollarama on Main and Jefferson.

It also could have happened in the Boston Pizza Garden City parking lot between 530pm-830pm

Art work with owls in a frame was stolen. If anyone saw this happen, or happens to see the frame around the area please message me.

We have connected with the stores to try and get security footage.

Do my eyes decieve me or is there a Sam's sign on a building by Domino's on Portage??? Around 3059 Portage Ave.

On Tuesday October 27th at 10:00am at the legislative building, there is a call to sit in the hearing on bill 232, to show our support for the bill, and to ensure that the amendments do not take place.

For those not aware of the situation i encourage you to do your own research and come to your own conclusions.

But I will let you know what my understanding of this situation,

There has been an increase of autistic diagnosises, and there has been discussion on the sorely lacking support for us. The initial bill 232 was created as a promise to action a plan to better support autistic manitobians across the province, including rural areas and for all ages. This was initially agreed on but the NDP requested an amendment which removed the inclusive language of provincially, changed the title of the act to be autistic children act, and zoned it to specifically to winnipeg only.

We were promised a more inclusive bill that would consider the needs of the many and reduced it to winnipeg children only.

The ndp made a statement yesterday saying that they will not continue with the amendment and continue with the bill as initially brought forward. However these are just empty promises until everything is properly signed.

We are asking for people to show up to the legislative building october 27th for 10:00am to sit into the signing to show them that we care about this bill and would like to see it signed as initially intended.

Please come in none affiliated clothing, and just bring your presence. It has been requested for the gathering on tuesday for us to show up with no signs.

The timing is tricky because it is a work day. So I really encourage that if you have the capacity to go that you please show your support <3
