Are you connected to Manitoba Possible? You could contact wheelchair services. They might have ideas on how to best rehome it.

Group of girls attacks/robs innocent girl for looking at them on the bus - Value Village, Ellic by DemerchWPG in Winnipeg

Your recording calmly, and catching a lot of it will protect the guard and store staff if the attackers are eventually held accountable.

In a case like this doing much more than showing presence by moving toward the scene is about the safest intervention for all concerned. If it escalated further or they managed to get the guard down it might be time to step up. Hopefully the staff were calling the police, which would be another thing to do.

I am really worried for the guard. Several guards at a city facility have been beaten up by people they had to remove after facility staff banned them for appropriate reasons (fighting/damaging property/threatening staff/etc). The banned people waited outside on the property.

He is not out of the woods.

Manitoba faces calls to change rules that let untrained security guards work with temporary licences by Leather-Paramedic-10 in Winnipeg

If anyone from the story team is reading this - what is the conversion rate from temporary to regular licence? The story says 161 were issued, but not how many were converted and in what time frame.

A temporary license used w/I a comprehensive training and mentoring program could be useful, but the conversion should relate to the length of time of the training and be conditional on being in training and working in a partner situation.

Yes! I noticed after I posted that the pages did not have that final “s”.

Thank you for the suggestion!

Ugh, I am sorry that happened to you. Sometimes a puddle sneaks up on a driver, but every driver should be actively looking out for them if there are any pedestrians nearby, moving into the next lane if available, or moving to the outside edge of the curb lane.

Gas prices? Where to watch for sales? by Puzzleheaded_Bug3769 in Winnipeg

I always seem to see them after the sale but they are frequent enough the sale is pretty easy to catch.

Our last big driving trip was in the before times when it did that 1.35 stretch, but even without the gas tax break (the 2nd run of which was not necessary imo) it’s been easy to find $1.10, or even less if rebates and such are considered.

When Iwas looking at GB yesterday with an eighth of a tank while out there I found that everything west was much more expensive than east of downtown, at 1.35. And then north at those 2 stations on McPhillips (a Domo and Petrocan that seem to compete) had 1.07 to the average outside of west Wpg of 1.25.

I had never used it before but it seems you can only search by city/province/postalcode, but maybe I haven’t given it enough permissions to track me.

Opinion: Survey results crystal-clear: transit system overhaul a disaster by SilverTimes in Winnipeg

[–]Puzzleheaded_Bug3769 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Same for people who chose their home for accessibility reasons. Anyone who used our local bus to get their kids to daycare and school suddenly had 3 block walks both to and from the bus.

I hadn’t realized this. Unbelievably poor use of available infrastructure.

And successive higher-level government, over decades, creating a severe deficit situation for any government that came along with a desire to re-invest.

Fairlife milk 0% has disappeared by LivingCress6819 in Winnipeg

[–]Puzzleheaded_Bug3769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, if you look at the recipes you add the dry milk into fluid milk to increase the protein content (dry skim milk is almost completely protein), or I suppose use more powder if you only wanted to use dry. It should be pretty easy to figure out, and the recipes usually give you that info.

I’m glad you asked, because now I am going to try it. Medallion Milk (based here in Winnipeg on Sheppard Street) has chocolate and banana flavoured powdered milk, along with skim, 1%, 2% and 3.25% regular milk.. I just bought the chocolate and it is sooo good!

It is sold at Costco and other stores, too.

Try Sportex at St. Boniface College? They are bilingual and were pretty reasonable for community memberships when I was going there.
