@Rocketpoweredgorilla very cool. I wonder why they changed it from ‘Sunny Manitoba’ to ‘Friendly Manitoba’ (maybe they’ll eventually change it back if they decide that people here aren’t friendly enough lol). Is this part of a personal collection?

    @manitoba Wab Kinew: “Let the Epstein class fight the Epstein war” "Not a single Canadian should ever be put in harm's way to defend Donald Trump's foolish Iranian war," he [Kinew] said at the conference Friday. "I'll go a step further, and I'll say no American either," Kinew said. "No American child from the blue collar or the middle class should have to die in Iran. Let the Epstein class fight the Epstein war.”Full article here: cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/wa#cdnpoli #iran #manitoba

     

    @winnipeg Winnipeg city council has a cell phone issueWhen people take time off work to speak at city hall, council often won’t even listen to what they have to say. They’ll just spend that time on their phones (even the mayor!) One time a citizen called them out for this, and the mayor chastised them, accusing that person of being disrespectful 🙄It’s absurd. They’re blatantly ignoring the people they were elected to serve. At least pretend to care!#manitoba #cdnpoli #Winnipeg

     

    @manitoba Wabama - Prison Rap | Wab Kinew raps to the beat of ‘F da police’ (2012)I think we need to take a moment to appreciate just how out of touch the conservatives were in the last election: they seriously thought that Wab Kinew’s rap career would make him look bad. But of course, as we all know now, it actually just makes him look cool af. 10/10 would vote NDP again.m.youtube.com/watch?v=_2PGq-89#manitoba #cdnpoli

    @humanspiral this is what China does. It should be like 4 or 5 timezones or smthg but they only use one: their Eastern-most timezone. From what I understand though the locals in the Western provinces don’t really use the official time in their day to day. They still stick to the old, unofficial timezones. I think that shows that even if we did have one coordinated global timezone people wouldn’t necessarily use it

    @Reannlegge yeah I’ve heard about how there is an increase in heart attacks and car accidents after you set the clocks forward an hour. But apparently there is actually a decrease in heart attacks and car accidents when you set the clocks forward an hour, so it cancels out in the end. Not that that’s a good reason to stick with the time change though! At the very least we’ve got to make sure we don’t confuse the cows

    @canada Residents of #canada, would you be in favour of your province or territory abolishing annual clock changes and moving to a consistent, year round time?If yes, what would you prefer: year round daylight savings time (an extra hour of sunlight in the evening) or standard time (an extra hour of sunlight in the morning)?
