If you are looking for a quick list of who not to vote for this municipal election, the current EPC is a good place to start. Vote them all out. (Note Lukes isn't running)

Seems like drivers should need to recertify every few years or lose their licences.

I think it’s rather disappointing that the Fourth Estate buries coverage of other candidates while giving airtime to names we already know espousing grievance politics, and then only invites the three SoCons to a televised debate - in which their vision for Winnipeg will be duly lacking.

rainbow resource centre sent the winnipeg mayoral candidates a questionnaire about their approach to 2SLGBTQ+ rights, and two candidates (umar hayat and chris clacio) have near-identical responses because they used AI tinyurl.com/2se4wfhf

Thing is, network effects ARE real. There may not have been, say, more inherently idiotic people then...but they weren't able to influence people to adapt their views...esp. if they happen, now, to be charismatic or produce quality TikTok etc.

Like... that's why the cranks are out here complaining that social media's corrupting the youth. For them, social media is the thing that lets NON-cranks find each other. And they think *that's* scary!

Rachel Gilmore: PM Carney’s decision to invoke John A. Macdonald and his rail project, framing him as one who “raced to unite this land,” was revealing — particularly given who paid the price for this unification. thetyee.ca/Opinion/2026...

A lot of bringing history to young ppl is just telling them what you lived Recommend hanging out with young ppl in bars or brew pubs or wine bars or WHATEVER

worth remembering that today is also the anniversary of the US backed coup in Chile that overthrew democratically elected socialist Salvador Allende and replaced him with the brutal dictator Augusto Pinochet, who murdered thousands of communists and leftists and jailed tens of thousands

Powerful message: "You do my dad's legacy and the legacy of all these victims no honor by using this tragedy to spread hate," he said. "I've had to grow up and spend the past 25 years seeing people use it to hate on our Muslim brothers and sisters, to hate on people who don't look like them."

Ok, talking about class in vox pops is now banned until it starts making any sense.

‘The Saharawi women who built the first makeshift camps in 1975 thought they would be home within a few weeks… ‘We just want to go home.’ It is an unpleasant irony that one of the most enduring tales of homecoming should be told on the site of one of the 20th’s most enduring expulsions.‘

"Man I miss smoking." " No.. you.. you miss talking to people." "Right right right, I mix those two up all the time." I have absolutely no nostalgia for a time period where there was -more- smoking in the US.

A collective grocery store in Point Douglas- that also gives away whatever doesn't sell.

"But it is art, even if it's AI!" No. It's slop. True science art on the other hand, inspires awe, it informs. It's beauty with a purpose. It spreads love, not deception.

me and all the other refugee children of the theory wars banging on the tables in the reference section of the library: one of us! one of us! one of us!

Apparently the Pope has read Baudrillard.

Surprise crunchy? RUINED Surprise soggy? RUINED Surprise watery? SUPER RUINED nothing like taking your second bite of the most delicious smelling pasta dish you ever did see & suddenly getting a texture you didn’t expect I didn’t consent! smooshy berries or unexpected tartness! why is it bitter?

From ‘Outstanding’ and a good reminder that investing in the arts is a win-win, not a lose-lose, proposition.

A “former Palantir executive recently confirmed what many have long suspected. In a public stmt, the whistleblower said it plainly: Palantir intended to take over the US government, & many of his former colleagues are now installed inside the federal apparatus. He called it an occupied nation.” 1/

Carney fans, rationalize away! www.nationalobserver.com/2026/04/06/n...

Extremely weird and revealing joke from Carney, even if he's riffing off the progressive conservative allegations. He's not beating em!

If they _did_, though, I would go so far as to help them out. Seeing my people's stuff in museums always pisses me off: Those pieces were meant to be kept in community and used, not isolated in sterile colonial institutions where outsiders can oogle them.

To be left leaning is to be correct but too early and hated for it

Happy Earth Day.

The rush is to be able to oppose any of the awful legislation Carney is proposing now. The planet probably can't afford 4 years of data centers, petro extraction, new mining projects etc. Some of what's being proposed can't be easily undone.

True: This is exactly what I think when I hear people going on about "rebuilding slowly". Like: Yeah, okay, so you'll just sacrifice _us_ during that slow rebuild huh.

Huge thanks to 30 Liberal MPs who refused to oppose C-233. Your choice shows that the movement to close Canada's arms export loophole is growing. 🇨🇦 Govt has power to fix it. Don't let up—keep organizing and keep the pressure on. We won't stop until Canada is no longer complicit in war crimes.

it’s so funny that the drunk tv host in charge of the military is like “real warriors don’t need vaccines” when all the greatest generals in history would have done anything for a jab that kept their armies safe from disease

the “shoplifting is good” opinion piece in the new york times is the purest form of bait, and there is no need to engage with it
