One of the best ways to reach our community has been @ianmccausland.bsky.social idea to bring Coffee Outside to Winnipeg. This past Friday we had the last one of the year and celebrated by handing out over 60 breakfast sandwiches! Thank you to Harrison’s Coffee and to our volunteers.

Simple, it's just not popular enough and doesn't garner enough votes. You know, these politicians have to keep their jobs! It's more important than saving our lives, Ben!

Drunk driver was to blame. Infrastructure enabled it.

A friend at work was complaining about the housing market being impossible to enter. I suggested she get rid of her car. She rents downtown and walks to work. Parking alone costs $300/month. Her answer was her car ownership was non-negotiable. We are our worst enemies.
