Striking that the Liberals and Conservatives offer the same response to pain at the pump: siphon money out of the public purse instead of Big Oil’s profits.

Just to view through another lens: They're forgoing a full 4% of the HSR they're building. 😞
Uncle Harold, the first note is the *lowest* note of the song.
Well, my uncle failed to heed to lessons of last year and, once again, started Happy Birthday on far too high a note.
Mario and Princess Peach, welcome to The War on Karts.
Yeah, every trip to the grocery store, someone always stops and admires my cargo bike and inevitably asks “How much did that cost you?”
The only answer that computes in their brain is “Way cheaper than a second car!”
“Every $1,300 New York City invested in building bike lanes in 2015 provided benefits equivalent to one additional year of life at full health over the lifetime of all city residents, according to a new economic assessment.”
That’s a better return on investment than some direct health treatments…”
BIKE WEEK IS BACK! Mark your Calendars!
Between June 7-13, 2026 Bike Week is gearing up to host a variety of cycling activities all across the city! Mark your calendars for a week full of engaging group rides, cycling education, parties, and more!
Why would I signal? I’m just going straight. No need to slow down, either. It’s a straightaway.
Agree completely. As I stated in my letter to the editor "As Winnipeggers, we should expect our elected representatives to make decisions for all residents. They should also be making decisions based on what is best for our city and not what is best for their re-election."
“The mayor said “no disrespect.” Rob Jenner should still be alive. My parents deserve to feel safe on their own street.
And my daughter deserves a city that builds for her, not one that can’t decide who it’s building for at all.”
Damn, why are you talking about my city in particular?
I think we should take Jeff Browaty up on his idea to return our streets to the speed limits they were originally designed for
The street hasn’t gotten wider.
The houses haven’t moved further from the road.
10 mph at street intersections, 15 mph elsewhere

I'll join in a minute, my call runneth over
"To call a proven safety measure a political surrender is to admit that winning the argument matters more than keeping people alive. It is also simply false."
The city and ‘extremists’

More than 80% of people consistently cited their preference for permanent daylight savings in polls, there’s a realm of data that says it supports better outcomes, and it’s very fun when a government can say “we control how time works”.
About a slam dunk win as you can get these days.
So hyped. Thanks for making more episodes. I learn a ton each time.
My column today: If we want neighbourhoods to be walkable and vibrant, people need to feel safe walking and biking. The 1970’s law allowing right turns on red lights prioritizes vehicles over safety. Many cities are now considering banning it in urban areas. www.winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/anal...
They won’t let you take pictures inside??
A four panel cartoon of a small bird on a branch; the original images are from falseknees.com Panel 1: "mov rax, rbx" Panel 2: "add rax, rcx" Another speech bubble appears, covering that one that says: "HELLO IT'S ME THE KEYBOARD" Panel 3: A corvid appears next to the small bird; the new speech bubbles belong to it. It says "I HAVE AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE" Panel 4: A closeup of the small bird with a frustrated look on its face. The corvid's speech bubble behind it reads, simply, "E".
Saw this on Mastodon, never don't repost.

But can it help you install Firefox? That’s the only use for Edge I’ve ever had 🙃
I wish the city/province would put less energy into these and more energy into adopting an Idaho stop law.
But, if they are separated roadways (in the sense that they wouldn't legally but still should stop for flashing school bus lights) then they make sense
people ask me why i love winter so much, in WINNIPEG nonetheless, and this is why 😍
A person in a bright yellow jacket walking on the sidewalk through the snow.
A number of bicycles covered in snow in front of a pharmacie
People walking outside in winter jackets through the snow with a fruit and vegtable market in the background.
Another street scape with a winding toad, snow, tire tracks, and people all covered in snow.
It's snowing and wonderful in Paris today! Snapped some good ones wandering to and from the grocery store.
