This could be big, or could be more lip service. We shall see. It doesn't give any #land rights or #harvesting rights, it's more about internal affairs and #governance, so I'm not too hopeful.

edit to add: Deadline appears to have been surreptitiously extended to Tuesday, February 17th, to allow the EDC to find more pro-bylaw responses. You still have time to submit your concerns about this bylaw!

Call to action from Winnipeg South Centre 4 Justice

"We need your help to oppose Evan Duncan’s “By-law of THE CITY OF WINNIPEG to prohibit
nuisance demonstrations and intimidation of persons at or in respect of vulnerable social infrastructure”

According to CCLA, since 2024, numerous municipalities have adopted bylaws that prohibit peaceful protests near various community gathering spaces. CCLA believes this is a concerning trend and that bylaws like these are unconstitutional. They’ve begun to initiate Charter litigation against the bylaws.

We need to tell the City of Winnipeg bylaws like these are not welcome here.

TIMELINE FOR ACTION IS IMMEDIATE:

EPC votes on this on Tuesday, Feb 17th.

Deadline to submit written opposition or register to speak in-person is THIS Friday, Feb 13 at NOON

PLEASE help us get the word out TODAY AND TOMORROW to reach 300+ people for written submissions.

RALLY at City Hall prior to the EPC meeting at 8:45 on Tuesday, February 17 to tell the City of Winnipeg that our right to protest matters"

Third #DEATH IN 3 MONTHS where someone was waiting for #hospital care and never got it.

That's 1 per month.

This time, it was a baby.

They dare to say the care was "appropriate", but the father's story tells otherwise.

RIP, Luca. This is heartbreaking. Sending much love and condolences to the family.

Premier Kinew and Minister Asagwara aren’t leaving seniors at the mercy of the market, they’re stepping in to save these precious elder care beds. This is exactly what we mean when we say that the role of the government is to goddamn govern.

We cannot leave something as important as senior care in the hands of private corporations that know the price of everything and the value of nothing. It’s time to bring long-term care into the public and non-profit system where it belongs.

omg. Premier Wab Kinew just made a Heated Rivalry reference to fellow Premier Doug Ford “we're going into the corners together" and the PM says, “I want you to just take that image”

LOL.

Um... Dear Wab, you kind hearted, funny man, you do *know* the heat is not on the ice... right?

Wouldn't it be fun if our Canadian Premiers - as "Team Canada" - put out a joint statement saying to the effect of:

If any States of the USA bordering Canadian provinces feel as though they have no choice but to democratically extricate themselves from an autocratic situation, that those bordering provinces of Canada would be willing to absorb said States, as like minded, democratic, and free friends.

Yukon: Alaska
British Columbia: Washington
Alberta: Idaho or Montana
Saskatchewan: Montana
Manitoba: North Dakota or Minnesota
Ontario: Minnesota/Michigan/Ohio/New York
Quebec: Vermont/NewHampshire
New Brunswick: Maine
Nunavut: Greenland (jk)

I know this is midly insane, and the problems it could set off are immense if not incalculable. But here we are: in insane times.
