While many of you are likely yelling “GO DINOSAURS!” or “GO PTEROSAURS!” I'm yelling “GO PREHISTORIC MAMMALS and Bergmann's rule!"

Congratulations to @emmaewood.bsky.social on winning the Elmwood-East Kildonan byelection. Emma brings to council not only her many years of community activism, her positive nature, but also her strong belief in community. This is not only a win for her constituents, but a win for all of Winnipeg.

Woke up with sore feet but all well worth it. We poured our hearts into this one and it feels so good to see the result. So proud of the work we did and optimistic about where we are going in our neighborhood and the work Emma will do.

Plus turquoise really was the best of the colours out there.

A strong, positive campaign was well-received by Elmwood-East Kildonan voters.

We now have a diligent, collaborative, and hyper-competent listener in @emmaewood.bsky.social representing Elm-EK at City Hall. Couldn't have wished for a better result. 🙂

Heart beat hate, work beat whining, relationships beat rants, shoe leather beat lawn signs. Elmwood-East Kildonan won big last night, and so did Winnipeg.

Katy Perry's rapprochement with Taylor Swift has really ended up being a nothingburger in terms of long-term cultural impact, hasn't it?

Did some leafleting for @emmaewood.bsky.social in Elmwood.

Every time I do leafleting, I am reminded of how hard postal workers work. And I just had the one leaflet to pass out - not stacks of sorted mail.

Today is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
This day honours and remembers the children who were forced into Canada's Residential School system.
It was first observed as Orange Shirt Day in 2013 and was elevated to a statutory holidy for federal workers in 2021.

Tragically, Will Stancil is actually the closest thing this age has to a moral paragon because he was exposed to people being mean to him on the internet without becoming a Trumpist out of spite, a test which seemingly every other major Discourse Generator online has failed.

You can’t just change a system, you need to invest in it if you hope to see major improvements. Our city is trying to get the benefits without investing the $.

This is a system that can be scaled up easily. City council gave transit specific instructions that they had no new operation funding for the new system. So, this is a frame that can be dialed up if we choose. Hopefully they do!

To be clear, we aren't building them... We are rezoning and contributing the land for the Province to build them, likely with the help of a development partner. Winnipeg, MB and supportive housing:
