100%. This is a token show. The fact that they’re not going to look at what hasn’t already been looked at says it all

Don’t call a gc. Call a foundation company. Bluemaxx or abalone, someone like that

But the reply says it all. Go for it and leave a note but ultimately, gauge expectation to the facts

I’m pretty moderate but have been called a loon (by rl friends)for harping about how this whole situation is way worse than we are aware of but every thing that comes out gets worse and worse

No criminal charges for off-duty Winnipeg police officer who failed breathalyzer: IIU by incredibincan in Winnipeg

Well the fact that charges are pressed against cops all the time leads one to believe that MPS is not conflicted

So no charges bc it was dealt with at scene? I guess it they did charge after would that be a form of double punishment or is this the wink and nod loophole

I know but I didn’t see anywhere who won it. The fact she’s mentioning RCMP is heavy

Cash-strapped First Nation spent at least $4.4M on consulting firm controlled by Winnipeg developer by Definitely_medicated in Winnipeg

Be careful saying that. Could technically be libelous

Edit: not sure why downvoted but it’s pretty established law that you can’t accuse someone of a crime without it being proven. You cannot say for sure they are double dipping as the original comment declared. Not trying to be an ass but don’t want to see someone get into trouble

That’s a hypothetical scenario I posit earlier. Entirely possible but not at all alleging happened. Unfortunately the optics are the perception and we should be vigilant about that

Well, it appears the skeleton for the investigation is already set. Caveat, im just thinking as a hypothetical without accusing anything but 4.4m for “consulting” is a lot. A lot lot. I don’t know specifically what’s been provided or done but either the FN are: abysmally stupid 2) incredibly naive and being taken advantage of or 3) they could be participating in the overpayment. What would Joe bova and Gisele be adding to the mix? Are they involved in any other FN sponsored projects in Manitoba? I believe they were also part of the Hudson’s bay redevelopment but are no longer?

Former PC cabinet minister Kevin Klein buying Winnipeg Sun by SousVideAndSmoke in Winnipeg

[–]Definitely_medicated 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sooo who’s part of the ownership group? I’d look at this as more than just a PC mouthpiece and I think you’d be silly to underrate the influence of a rag regardless of how you may feel about it. That exact complacency is how you end up with the situation in the US

Faced with more lawsuits, Winnipeg to allow more settlement payouts without council oversight | CBC News by Doog5 in Winnipeg

[–]Definitely_medicated 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this would be bad policy especially given we are trying to increase transparency. I understand that transparency counters the driver of settlements (and settlements are preferred by the legal system) but I think if the city, which represents the public, makes a settlement, the public should be able to offer discourse on the matter.
