ACTION ALERT 🚨 Rep. Sam Graves, Chairman of the T&I Committee drafting the next transportation bill, recently shared an alarming insight: “It's gonna be a traditional highway bill... We’re not gonna be spending money on murals and train stations or bike paths or walking paths.”

We invited Sam Westby, a local bikey instagrammer, along on our HONKoween #BikeBus parade, and he produced this nice reel that’s getting some exposure over there. www.instagram.com/reel/DQzVB2A...

This #CanPL championship may be one of the wildest professional soccer games I have ever seen. Darn if only Valour can get their nonsense together, #Winnipeg fans might get interested generally in this league again.

The poor years of Valour really have made me frown on the #CanPl, even wanting a new NSL womens team here in #Winnipeg (which could happen). I still do want this to happen. But this may get me interested agsin in the #canpl again, if Valour gets their nonsense settled.
Honestly, I wouldn't watch Canadian men's soccer even if you paid me $5. But the Canadian Snow Football League, I'd watch that for all 10 months of Canadian winter! ⚽❄️
the CPL has stumbled onto the idea that it should be a winter league

This is awesome. clap, clap, clap, clap. This is awesome. Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap. #CanPL championship.

This would rank as great as Zohan's win. a former Seattle Transit Riders union leader could be their next mayor.
Many people think this race could be decided by only a handful of votes (here’s former Seattle mayor Greg Nickels). Have YOU checked to make sure that yours was counted? Check our link in bio to check on your vote with King County elections!

The closet thing to the #CanPL snow championship right now I can reall in modern Canadian sport history in terms of snow games was the 1996, and 2017 Grey Cups, both won by the Toronto Argonauts.

Mad props for the #CanPL for playing its final in a snowfall warning in Ottawa.
November 9, 2025 at 10:52 PM
Yea, this snow bound #CanPL final is fun, but the play is very sloppy to watch.
November 9, 2025 at 10:48 PM
Finally, we get a snow bound #Canpl championship.

Card-carrying Manitoba NDPers are more than happy to look the other way. Everyone is eating cake.
When you're endorsed by the far-right National Post, it's time to change direction: you're most certainly doing something wrong. I'd be curious to know how many card-carrying Mb NDP members are happy with Mr. Kinew's lurch to the right. #MbPoli

This.....
The play that the MB NDP is making is that there isn’t much choice on the center/left in MB - the Libs are weakened and the Greens won’t get in. So the NDP can lurch to the right and people on the left, center or center right will still vote for them because the MB PCs are terrible. (1/2) #mbpoli

Los Angeles is bankrupting itself on the altar of car culture. Too many streets, cars, and carbrained leaders to cover basic infrastructure costs.

If it wanted to, it could turn itself around.

The question is, does it want to? michaelschneider.medium.com/los-angeles-...

Renewable energy is resilient in times of disasters. Another reason why to invest.
The power of SOLAR POWER. Jamaica.

Her mango & papaya trees were lost, by 180mph/290kph winds.
But her roof was intact, so were the solar panels. Most neighbors didn’t have electricity. She did.
Next day "sun was shining we had our power back.”

Well that is great the recycling cans are coming. Just why could they not come at the same time? #Winnipeg.
November 9, 2025 at 4:29 PM
Congrats to @scottgillingham.bsky.social for bringing in locked garbage cans downtown. Well not really. But one faux pas, where are the recycling bins with the trash cans? Previously with the garbage cans, there was blue bins. #Winnipeg 1/2

I do think regardless, Dianna Matheson is not stupid, and will get the NSL expansion right, regardless if the first team is Winnipeg or not.

Dont know whether to laugh or cry Elon Musk will become the first trillionaire in human kind.
el*n husk is set to be the worlds first trillionaire.

here's a comparison to contextualize this:

a million seconds is 11 days, 13 hours, 46 minutes, and 40 seconds.

a billion seconds is 31.7 years.

a trillion seconds is 31,700 years.

this amount of wealth is incomprehensible. i feel sick.
