Substitute out “gender affirming care” with cancer care.

Or congenital organ defect repair.

Or mental health care.

This isn’t about providing fully informed consequence free care, because that simply doesn’t exist.

It’s about believing trans kids shouldn’t exist.

Nope. Tories want their voters to have two sets of votes in two different school board elections. If you're wealthy enough to own two properties it doesn't give you the right to have double the voting power. #mbpoli
Tories want to give cottage owners votes in school board elections CAROL SANDERS A PRIVATE member’s bill proposed by a Progressive Conservative MLA would enable non-resident property owners to vote in school board elections. Midland MLA Lauren Stone’s bill would allow all property owners, including cottage owners, who are Canadian citizens over the age of 18, to vote in local school board elections where their secondary properties are located. The Municipal Councils and School Boards Elections Amendment Act, which has practically no chance of becoming law with an NDP majority government, would limit voting to two non-resident owners per property. “Manitobans continue to face historic, unprecedented education property tax hikes,” Stone said during question period Tuesday. She pointed to the NDP scrapping the education property tax rebate and a two per cent cap on school division budget increases. In 2024, the NDP announced that starting this year, it would end the previous Tory government’s 50 per cent education property tax rebate and the education property tax credit, replacing it with a homeowners tax credit of up to $1,500 on principal residences. It effectively eliminated education property taxes for homes with assessed values of approximately $285,000. Stone called on the NDP to reverse the tax hikes and remove education taxes from properties. “When this NDP cancelled the 50 per cent education property tax rebate, they left out cottage owners and small businesses,” the PC finance critic said. She pointed to cottage owners in the R.M. of Victoria Beach who received a 27 per cent education property tax hike on their “generational properties,” but cannot vote in local school board elections. “Despite being unsustainably taxed, these property owners do not even have a say in who they vote for in school divisions,” said Stone. Finance Minister Adrien Sala said the province is increasing the homeowners tax credit to $1,600 in 2026, and called out the PCs …

If winter maintenance assumes every household has a car… that’s not a winter plan. That’s a privilege plan.

Walking, cycling, mobility devices, transit:
People rely on these year-round.

Equity means winter access for every mode, not just the warmest one.

Another person is dead thanks to Councillor Lukes and Mayor Gillingham’s endless pursuit of maximal vehicular throughput in heavily pedestrianized areas.

Anyone recommend a small electronics repair shop to replace a charger port in a remote car starter. According to BatteryMan, it's not the battery likely the port. Local shop to home only does the basic mass market stuff, "don't know if we can get the part, sir"
