@mmarginet @NHLJets@DowntownWpgBIZ I cannot believe the ignorance in some of the replies.
A @BikeWinnipeg valet during the playoffs is truly a fantastic idea. Think of how many cars would be taken off of streets downtown, making it better for everyone.
@DavidColetto@abacusdataca On a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 being low and 5 being high, how likely is it that oil/gasoline companies raised the price of gasoline at the pumps in Manitoba after the provincial government instituted the gas tax holiday?
Strong government policy to address cost of living, provides the largest benefits to those in greatest need. Eliminating the provincial gas tax provides the largest benefits to those who drive the most, and own the biggest vehicles.

Canadians: [snorting a line of assorted measuring systems] I'm 5'3, I weigh 150lbs, horses weigh 1000kgs, my house is an hour away and I drive 80 km/h to get there, I need a cup of flour and 1L of milk
@nowwithnik@brent_bellamy Couldn’t finish my thought…had to get back to work.
I worked at clubs in England and they all paid for cabs to get home. That’s something clubs could consider here for their employees.
@nowwithnik@brent_bellamy Losing close parking for employees is unfortunate but maybe they don’t need to drive there?
I worked in a club in the UK and the owners paid for cabs if needed.
@nowwithnik@brent_bellamy Patrons going to 441 Main weren’t going there in the middle of the day. It was a night club. They were heading to the club when many shouldn’t have been driving to begin with.
You don't need to kneel to Trump or Biden. You just have to be a good person with empathy and compassion in your heart for other people.
Doing those things are the first steps in changing the world.
This was me fresh out of school 16 years ago. It was a dream job but on a day-to-day contract. I worked hard hoping to land something permanent, then one day, the contract ended.
Temporary employees have made up a large part of @CBCRadioCanada's workforce for decades. They're compensated the same as any other employee—with one notable exception. Most are always looking over the edge into unemployment, with no guarantee of ever securing a permanent job.
