Mind you, they're requiring proof of vaccination to let you LEAVE Canada.
Canada's new travel vaccine requirements in effect as of Saturday winnipeg.citynews.ca/2021/10…
While noise complaints can still be reported nowhere at all.
Parking violations can now be reported online at winnipeg.ca/311. You can also track the status of your service request directly on the website.
Of course the peace and quiet of the leaf-raking didn't last, now the dim cunts at 15 Kennedy started up the welder again. Every day I pray that fucking dump goes up in flames / explodes / collapses / is overrun by cockroaches / STDs / plague / anything to shut the mofos up.
Someone inboxed me to say all I do on Twitter is bitch and omg that took a lot of perspicacity when literally 100% of why I use it is for a place to bitch where nobody knows me. If you don't like it there is this "unfollow" thing, don't give me your opinion, I didn't ask for it.

Someone outside is raking leaves. With an elbow-grease powered rake. He's been at it for a while. Most peaceful sound ever. #Winnipeg #DeathToLeafBlowers

How's that for deliberately alarmist reporting. Obviously since "the vaccine works", not least by preventing symptoms in the infected, more of the symptomatic are unvaccinated. The relevant question is what percentage of children are getting noticeably ill.
One-third of Manitoba's new COVID-19 cases are in kids under 12: Reimer: bit.ly/3jKTdtS
Oh good, not only you need yet another document, you also have to buy a """smart""" phone and carry it with you at all times. In case you didn't think the certificate was deliberately designed to reinforce privilege.
The new pan-Canadian proof of vaccination credential (PVC) is only available in digital format. When requesting a PVC, there is no need to re-order a new Manitoba Immunization Card. To learn more, visit bit.ly/3jNXXPf.

I agree with that PC voter guy. And I don't usually agree with PC voter guys.

PC leadership candidate Shelly Glover calls for delay on decision to determine Manitoba's next premier. #mbpoli
Living in Winnipeg, you know exactly how she felt.
Thai police say a resident of a high-rise condominium near Bangkok cut the support rope for two painters, apparently angry she wasn’t told they would be doing work. The painters were rescued hanging above the 26th floor. apne.ws/9pD1hHS
I'm glad I took the time to participate in the survey on this new propaganda campaign, and obviously had zero effect on the choices that were made. Voting is a complete waste of time unless you've made up your mind to pick the same option as everyone else.
Living in Manitoba means living with winter! Stay well this winter by keeping physically active and mentally resilient.
Has anyone else noticed that Twitter no longer returns you to the same place on your feed after you write a tweet or visit another page? Now it backs up and I have to scroll to all the same stuff again every time.

Solzhenitsyn, A. (1966). Cancer Ward. A novel which ponders whether people had the right to refuse medical treatments, in the USSR, shortly after Stalin's death. Thank goodness we're now much too "free" to let people have that right.
Academic people: maybe you should clean up your old websites once in a while. A lot of y'all still have a site showing your current position and research as of 2007. #AcademicTwitter #JustSayin

The department seems very eager to push people into doing an Honours degree, but when I express interest in faculty's research they don't seem all that excited. I wonder if a) I'm misreading it, b) the dept is taking on too many students or c) it's personal. #UniLife
The notion of "teleconnections" and "memory" in the Earth system is so absurd. Just accept that it's a large system that works on large scales instead of imputing magical Chomskian thinking to basic physics. #UniLife
Also known in behavioural modification as a superstitious behaviour. Doing something because the illusion of a causality has previously been observed.

The rate of hospitalization and death for children with covid is nearly statistically insignificant. The desire to have them jabbed has nothing to do with science and health and everything to do with pharmaceutical monies and political leverage.
On the one hand, not committing to anything before you can look at the whole file makes sense, and on the two hand, "leadership" is about making decisions, and these two don't look gifted in that respect. Luckily I don't vote on that contest so I don't need an opinion.

Lots of platitudes, little policy: Premiers-in-waiting break silence - via @winnipegnews winnipegfreepress.com/local/… #wfp #mbpoli #wpgpoli #cdnpoli
"Safety" is the dumbest reason both for not getting vaccinated and for demanding others get vaccinated.
Distorted cognition: "the unvaccinated are trying to kill me and my entire family". Reality: not a single person is making decisions with respect to you and your family. And it hurts your ego a lot more than the covid hurts your vaccinated ass.
I can't even identify all the construction garbage running at 15 Kennedy anymore but I sure hope one of them destroys a vital building system and the whole dump has to be condemned. I vomit you, #Winnipeg.
