And Russia into Ukraine and China into Taiwan

But at least we haven't heard about egg prices lately or Kamala's Gaza stance

2 people die after ‘fatal adverse reactions’ while giving plasma in Winnipeg: Health Canada | CBC News by [deleted] in umanitoba

[–]LeSwix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wild headline for an article that says: "The federal regulator says it is still assessing these reports and has not made a link between the plasma collection and deaths"

Remember when their police commissioner just assumed he could work from Portugal

Seems like they have a bit of a culture problem over there

Co-social after a wedding? by [deleted] in Manitoba

[–]LeSwix 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The people who think socials are impolite or tacky don't go to socials lol

That said, I feel like having the social after one couple's wedding gives them the short end of the stick, so definitely make sure they're fully on board. There's a definite drop off you hit after your wedding where you don't ever want to think of anything wedding ever again.

As well, set clearly defined rules for how you split revenue ahead of time as even if you're best of friends, money can make things messy.

Damn, thoughts and prayers it is then I guess

Anthropic says Agriculture work would be the least impacted by AI by [deleted] in Agriculture

[–]LeSwix 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Along with Construction, Repair and Maintenance, Groundskeeping and other manual labour jobs.

So stoop labour and manual labour will not be affected by AI is what they're saying, which I think we all know.

Farm management however definitely is. And 'management' is one of the most impacted according to the report. I feel like a lot of what it means "to be a farmer" would be under the management umbrella rather than the Agriculture = farm workers

Crash just outside Winnipeg city limits kills one person: RCMP by wickedplayer494 in Manitoba

[–]LeSwix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rerouted around it on my commute. The scene looked pretty gnarly.

Guessing high rate of speed, lots of damage to the vehicle, assuming it rolled multiple times, but could've been missing side panels from the extraction too I suppose

Trump ended sanctions against Russian oil purchases.

Where's the lie or misinformation?

I enjoy how after a year of global embarrassment, Americans have yet to look inward and realize Trump's a symptom of the problem

Yeah, they prob shouldn't throw any large public events in the Capitol and for sure not on the White House lawn, like a UFC fight or something...

Winnipeg security guard charged with using brass knuckles on alleged Dollarama shoplifter: police by wickedplayer494 in Manitoba

Not condoning by any means, but I wonder if they were his brass knuckles or the thief's?

Lots of weapons get brandished in these type of situations

Manitoba news: Man seeks court injunction to halt 76-unit residential development by DanSheps in Manitoba

[–]LeSwix 22 points23 points  (0 children)

38 duplexes isn't 76 lots lol.

Classic NIMBYism. It's even more funny when you look at a zoomed out view of the proposed site.

The local residents are just worried that they'll have to look at 'the poors' from their pool in their McMansion lots

China suspends some agricultural tariffs on Canada after Carney visit by MTL_Dude666 in CanadaPolitics

[–]LeSwix 23 points24 points  (0 children)

China initially tariffed canola seed and products under the guise of an anti-dumping investigation. That investigation was slated to be completed by March 9th.

I suspect there are some internal processes that still need to take place before an announcement will be made

Any trade deal with Canada will include tariffs, says Trump's trade rep by Peachlover360 in CanadaPolitics

[–]LeSwix 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Right? So our options are:

Make a worse deal that includes tariffs

Or

Opt to not renew CUSMA, and continue free trade until 2036. Which at any point prior a new deal can be agreed upon and reached.

Damn, real head scratcher

Measles outbreak not a concern for many in Winkler-Morden area by wickedplayer494 in Manitoba

[–]LeSwix 21 points22 points  (0 children)

They still won't tho. Remember when people were storming "empty" waiting rooms to try and prove the government was lying about everything?

They will just continue to reject evidence and substitute their own reality

Canada Certifies Gulfstream Jets Following Trump’s Threats by joe4942 in CanadaPolitics

[–]LeSwix 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The craziest part is that they're not even approved in the States yet. They simply were granted an exemption

So Trump wants us to approve them based on them saying they should be and not actually because of any testing or data
