You just died. The 6th picture in your phone gallery is what killed you.

This tracks. I assume AI will kill us all eventually.

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 …

Letters to the Editor are often complaints or rebuttals of someone else's opinion. Refreshing to see someone giving friendly advice to help another transit rider! Thanks @mmarginet.bsky.social
A Letter to the Editor in today's Winnipeg Free Press: Transit tip Re: “New system not great for all” (Letters, Nov. 13) I’m writing in regard to Garfield McRae’s letter, which highlighted Mr. McRae’s struggle with the new transit system. As a former No. 16 rider myself, I can see how trying to get to his destination, the Concert Hall, is now three buses when following a similar path to the old 16. I think this is where many folks are struggling as we’ve all had to learn a new system at the same time. With a new system, we may need to rethink our paths. For Mr. McRae in Osborne Village, I’d recommend he instead go to the rapid transit station in the Village (or Harkness station, if that’s closer) where he can take the FX3 line. This bus stops directly in front of the Concert Hall and runs faster and more frequently than the old 16. I too have made some blunders with the new system, but as I’ve tried new routes I’m getting more confident and comfortable. I also tried the new on-request system this weekend. Pretty cool! I hope Mr. McRae is able to test this new route to see if it might be a good fit for him, and I hope he enjoys the fabulous shows at the Concert Hall this season! MEL MARGINET Winnipeg
