Great news! Just got word that my friend Dalip, sponsored @wsupply_wpg athlete & amazing Winnipegger successfully completed his ski expedition & reached the South Pole safely. Now on to Mt. Vinson! #adventure#winnipeg#southpole
Walked from near the Fort Garry Hotel through the exchange district to get to a friend’s engagement party last night. Was shocked to see that some pedestrian paths had completely disappeared under the snow from roads. We had to climb over snowbanks and walk on the road sometimes.
Fun fact about the most walk-hostile intersection in Canada: those concrete barriers preventing people crossing on foot are painted only on the outside. Prettied up for those they convenience, not those they inconvenience
His story was inspiring. Emotions flowed when he told me he will be reunited with his kids soon. We celebrated that together. I have a loved one who struggles with addictions. I know how hard recovery can be & how much harder it is when you are doing it on your own. 3/3
A man called me. He's a recovering drug addict. He lost everything including his kids. He went to the Bruce Oake Recovery Center & began to tell me with passion how the center supported him and still does now while he is experiencing the world again on his own /2
I just had an emotional phone call with someone who wanted to know more about our campaign. I want to share it because after a long campaign, it confirmed to me why it's so important for us to support those addicted to drugs, living on the streets & to not lose hope in them /1
The Docks have sat derelict since 2015, now fenced, overgrown & unusable. As we build a downtown that attracts more residents & visitors, creating a beautiful public space at Alexander Docks will foster growth, opportunity & community /1
Beginning in '01, he increased business tax revenues by $6m. Then, to find $$ and bring '03 revenues online with '98, he sold Wpg Hydro ($25m pmt) along with installing photo radar ($15m). Whether you agree with these or not, the fact is that poor mgmnt caused them to occur 4/4
I have questioned Mr. Murray many times on this period of stagnant revenues, wage pressures & tax freezes. He has responded by saying he raised revenues in a number of ways (fyi in '03, revenue was the same as '98) but I did find 3 increases in revenue he has not spoken to me /3
Reflecting tonight on some of the homework done over the past year - 100's of hours of Council & committee mtngs watched, 1000+ policy documents & strategic plans reviewed, 10,000+ pages read, 100+ pages of notes taken and...budgets /1
Unofficial barber shop mayor poll for last 2 weeks from our clients. Overwhelming majority for @RickShone a few votes for @ScottGillingham 1 vote for @KevinKleinwpg 1 vote for moktaluk and 1 vote for Woodstock. Upset? Interesting none for Murray
A nice little flash back today in the Indo-Canadian Telegram. This was a fun day cleaning up The Greenway @BishopGrandin with the Rising Runners Group last month. This grp not only runs but does ALOT for the community! #wpg22#wpgpoli
@Glen4Wpg @julespenner@ShaunLoney @Glen4Wpg clearly not aligned at what is best for Winnipeg. Perhaps living in the past! Who doesn’t support safe walking? I live downtown and it’s not getting better!
Winnipeg is amazing, there is strength in our diversity. We can build a world class city where Winnipeg is a leader and attracts & retains our citizens. It starts with getting the basics right & taking care of our own. That's all for me on the #wccdebate thank you!
Klein said that city hall is fractured. I agree on this one. Bringing strong leadership to the city is why I chose to run for mayor. Empower staff, collobarate, unify under a common vision. A mayor leads this and brings the best people to the table & let's them do their best work
At the @TheWpgChamber Mayoral debate. I'm a member of the Chamber & a Mayoral candidate. It's very tough for me to be in the crowd as I was not invited to debate & challenge many of whom I hold responsible for the poor position we are in today. I'll tweet live shortly #wccdebate
