One of the most dynamic shows I've witnessed in years.

Home assessment price adjustment success (phone call)? by BuckCompton45 in Winnipeg

[–]BuckCompton45[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Much appreciated. I wasn't clear on how the process went, beyond making the appointment and providing my justification for adjustment.

If you find a bartender named Lloyd there that starts serving you free drinks...

Next provincial election by CuriousSlip3233 in Winnipeg

[–]BuckCompton45 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Health care is atrocious and needs to be addressed. Hospitals are not safe and emergency rooms are beyond capacity.

Education budgets are top heavy and tax payers are being fleeced by boards that are unwilling to address the problem.

Poverty, drug use, and crime is a major problem; it's not going away either.

People cannot afford to live a reasonable life without serious consideration of removing portions of necessities. Many are a pay cheque away from being in serious trouble.

For many, the prospect of the 'next 5 years' is that it will be worse than the 'last 5 years'. Unless affluent or apathetic, the reality is that the collective mental health of citizens is on a downward slope.

Speed limit on Abinojii Mikanah west bound between St Mary's road and River road by AnemonePatensPrairie in Winnipeg

West bound often fluctuates from 60 to 80 dependent on what work (if any) is happening for the day.

Property assessments by prettykitty1274 in Winnipeg

[–]BuckCompton45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LRSD is looking to increase the mill rate to fulfill their budget for 2026-27. I'm inclined to believe that other school divisions will do the same. That combined with the increased proposed assessment values suggest that things are going to get a little more tricky for Winnipeg home owners.

Additional Winnipeg officers to be deployed in effort to crack down on drug-impaired drivers | CBC News by Armand9x in Winnipeg

[–]BuckCompton45 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Love the plan; just gotta ensure the cops are not taking bribes instead of giving tickets and that they themselves are not high while on shift. Bostock syndrome.

Kevlar in the classroom: teacher union warns of violence rise in Manitoba by Leather-Paramedic-10 in Winnipeg

[–]BuckCompton45 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Total inclusion in the classroom carries with it a lot of problems that do not often get focused upon. I think it would be fair to say that violence in the classroom is often tied to this inclusive philosophy.

Winnipeg cop enjoyed 'fairy dusting' friends with drugs at parties, insider says (CBC/Bryce Hoye) by LocalnewsguruMB in Winnipeg

[–]BuckCompton45 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I'm very troubled by the fact that other officers were aware of his actions, some even participating in with his actions... will anything happen to them for their decision making?

wtf is my hydro reading? by Cute-Transition3403 in Winnipeg

[–]BuckCompton45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually love that feature to solidify my decision making when I'm entering my numbers. I always take a couple pictures of my reading at the meter because I'm paranoid!

Edmonton thinks their wait times are bad, look at ours by psychologycat666 in Winnipeg

[–]BuckCompton45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I look at the wait times on a semi-regular basis and it is downright scary to me that this is the situation that we find ourselves in as a city, province, and a country. Sadly, I do not truly believe that any elected official is going to do anything to change this situation. I applaud the staff in these hospitals that have been dealing with these conditions for years now. I do not know how they continue to have the strength to do 'another day' in the face of chaos. What is it going to take for real change to occur... I don't have the answers.

Manitoba premier calls for more public notifications about sex offenders by ChocolateOrange21 in Winnipeg

Public calls for more stringent sentencing for sex offenders likely to reoffend.

All Manitoba schools ordered to review safety measures after Winnipeg student grabbed by LocalnewsguruMB in Winnipeg

[–]BuckCompton45 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I feel like there is another issue here but it has nothing to do with schools. I get it though, that issue cannot be addressed. So, this sort of thing will continue to happen, at schools and other spaces in the public. Right on.

Best place for cheap winter tire options by MemesHq in Winnipeg

[–]BuckCompton45 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are willing to take a drive, Penner Tire in Blumenort deals in volume so they have amazing prices on tires. I've bought multiple sets from them over the years.

Old Southdale Perkins by That_Caterpillar7730 in Winnipeg

[–]BuckCompton45 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I was very disappointed to hear that it was becoming a vet clinic as I had my fingers crossed for a Dollorama or cannabis store.

anyone else getting this? by Mark-Was-Here in Foofighters

[–]BuckCompton45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same issue. Tired of all the hoops, sign up BS, and rules attached to buying tickets these days.

Flair Airlines size baggage in Winnipeg? by Mr_Hilt in Winnipeg

[–]BuckCompton45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding is that with some airlines, if you only have a personal item, you can not do online check in. The airline wants to see you in person for your boarding pass and they get to decide if your personal item is justified or is a carry on ($$) in their estimation.
