WINNIPEGCITYELECTION It is time for the City to become more flexible in how they allow citizens to pay for services. Credit Cards should be allowed to pay Property Taxes. Bring back coin operated parking meters Some of us do not have new phones. Also, the coins are made in Wpg.

#WINNIPEGSCHOOLZONES30KYEARROUND
I favour making 30K the speed limit for the entire year. During July and August, children use school playgrounds. I am a candidate for the Daniel MacIntyre seat on Winnipeg City Council

Is this related to removing the buses from Graham Avenue?

[Global Winnipeg @globalwinnipeg]

Rudy's Eat & Drink has become the latest downtown restaurant to close its doors. Global's Katherine Dornian has more on the challenges still facing restaurants.

A question about the first Olympia. The building was not ready for the Red Wings 1st season exactly 100 years ago the 1926-27 season. Is the fact that the Wings then called the Cougars played their home games in Windsor's Border City Arena being remembered this season

[Bob Page @BobPagesports]

A.I.: Yes, an Olympia II arena was seriously proposed in the late 1970s, though it was planned for the suburb of Pontiac rather than directly inside Detroit.The Red Wings ownership (the Norris family) signed a contract and began selling suites for a new 15,000-seat arena named Olympia II, intended to be built adjacent to the Pontiac Silverdome. However, Detroit Mayor Coleman Young intervened to keep the franchise downtown, leading to the construction of Joe Louis Arena instead.

THE DEER LODGE HOSPITAL BUS STOP
The WRHA has redirected some hospitals patients to the Deer Lodge. The time is now to have the Portage Ave Blue Buses stop at the existing bus stop in front of the Deer Lodge. The Deer Lodge Hospital Bus Stop petition at https://t.co/iUEA6GYHlF

THE RAIL RELOCATION PLAN will take at least 20 years, cost billions+ the needed consultations that have not started. Do all the partners on this project agree with the project? Winnipeg's West and North End can not wait a generation or 2 to replace the Arlington Street Bridge

#HOCKEYRULECHANGE A great playoff series has ended with a group of players trying to freeze the puck against the boards. A real shame. In the last minute of the 3rd Period whenever players try and freeze the puck against the boards the whistle should be blown immediately.

#CBC CBC does a good job reporting news especially local news. Many other traditional media sources do not report news the way that they used to. The idea of defunding the CBC is very questionable to say the least.

Has anything been done to get all food out of the building?? Having food going rotten in a vacant building will only make a bad situation worse.

#THEAANDWWHISTLEDOG
A and W should bring back the Whistle Dog as a regular menu item.

[Fred Morris @FredMorrisWpg]

It has been over a year since Winnipeg City Council unanimously approved the name change. Is this a sign of a City Council that has trouble getting most things done????

[Global Winnipeg @globalwinnipeg]

The city says Bishop Grandin Boulevard is set to be officially known as Abinojii Mikanah, and Grandin Street will become Taapweewin Way.

#PORTAGEANDMAINCONCOURSE The ability to go from 1 building to another in Downton Winnipeg without going outside is positive. Winnipeggers should not be forced to cross outside especially on windy 40 below days. Winnipeg City Council's decision to close the Concourse is wrong .

[Fred Morris @FredMorrisWpg]

The Arlington Street Bridge should immediately be demolished. Any attempt to reopen the Bridge would be wrong and dangerous

Zach was a great player for the Winnipeg Ice.

A Very Sad Day for Winnipeg. How can we possibly allow 1 of the best Junior Hockey Teams in Canada to leave.

[Fred Morris @FredMorrisWpg]

#WINNIPEGHOCKEY In order to sell season tickets and showcase Brad Lambert, the Jets should allow the Ice into Canada Life Center if Seattle comes for the Final

[Illegal Curve Hockey @IllegalCurve]

The Jets may be done but the Moose picked up a big OT win to take a 2-1 series lead while the Ice swept their series and head to the WHL Championship.

And pair of Jets prospects still playing in junior.

Lots happening. Keep it locked to https://t.co/JY4PaWwVRo

#WINNIPEGSMEMORIALCUPHISTORY Winnipeg has hosted 13 Memorial Cups. Our reputation is taking a hit by not allowing Canada's best Junior Team to play their playoff games in our 15OOO seat arena. Political Leadership need to solve this problem. Politician can longer avoid this issue

[Fred Morris @FredMorrisWpg]

#HOCKEYPLAYOFFS It is a great time of the year. The time has come for all governments to show leadership to find a way to get the playoffs of our great Junior team downtown. Remember $38 M of tax dollars ( 2004 Dollars) help construct the downtown arena.

[Heather Stefanson @HStefansonMB]

Even if the night didn’t end the way we wanted, the @nhljets sure played a thrilling game this afternoon!

So great to see the #wpgwhiteout back in full force! #gojetsgo

#MYOPINIONONTHISISSUE The 2018 decision to sell the public housing building at 185 Smith to private investors is 1 of the greatest political blunders of this century

#THEARLINGTONSTRRETBRIDGE
Page B1 of the February 10, 2023 states the City is trying to find a way to get another 25 years out of the Arlington Street Bridge. This is simply impossible
