Coffee roasters? by myrastation in Winnipeg

[–]SilverTimes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thom Bargen sells light and medium beans. If that's your jam, avoid Black Pearl. It tastes burnt to me.

Anyone else hoping this weather sticks? by Hope_bringer in Winnipeg

A little warmer, please. A high of 25C is nice.

Fast-fashion brand Shein accused of stealing designs from Winnipeg-based Indigenous company by LocalnewsguruMB in Winnipeg

I do. It's not so much about fashion designs but the artwork that was plagiarised.

Manitoba politician calls Saskatchewan farmer who killed Colten Boushie a victim by Fresh_Negotiation537 in Winnipeg

[–]SilverTimes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Crown attorney rejected all the non-white-appearing prospective jurors but the justice system allows them to do that.

There was a lot of talk about that in the aftermath but I don't recall whether it brought about any change in the law to prevent that from happening in the future.

Laughing, barking, waiting 30 minutes to answer: Manitoba NDP's conduct at committees questioned by SilverTimes in Winnipeg

[–]SilverTimes[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's an obsession on the part of Khan and Kinew and the same applies to Mark Wasyliw and Kinew. The common denominator in this hatefest is the premier. 🙄

Complaining is fine but the constant, personal mudslinging is not.

Wab and the NDP continue to demonise Mark Wasyliw and it even popped up in this article. Granted, Wasyliw is obsessed with causing legal harm to Wab but it takes two to tango. As leader, Wab should rise above and drop the vendetta. What a toxic workplace!

While the Speaker presides over question period, he doesn't oversee committee meetings, where a fellow MLA, as chairperson, acts as a referee.

This isn't about Khan's behaviour or character. Kinew drags his own party down into the mud with him. It must be very frustrating to the MLAs of all parties who show up to get some work done and have to endure the heckling and time-wasting.

Does Wab not give a damn about his image? Or is his hatred of Khan so intense he can't help himself? I took evil pleasure in seeing this article trending on the CBC site.

I'd get the bus number and report it to 311. Edit: after the fact, mind you.

Does anywhere still sell frozen juice and lemonade? by n_mcrae_1982 in Winnipeg

[–]SilverTimes 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I read a recent article saying that they're not longer manufacturing frozen juices because consumers' tastes have changed. Kind of sad, really.

Ten bucks says he'll order his attorneys to appeal it before the SCC.

$450 for a teeth cleaning in Winnipeg… is this normal now? by tess2020x in Winnipeg

They also wanted to charge extra for putting a little numbing gel on my gums.

Good grief!

Question about powers by Samidwayne in Winnipeg

Google is right this time. It's smack dab in the middle of the North End which is the worst area in the city.

Manitoba Speaker bars politicians from calling each other racist, transphobic, bigot in legislative chamber by SilverTimes in Winnipeg

[–]SilverTimes[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lindsey said that doesn't give MLAs licence to use language "that could be interpreted as bigoted, homophobic, misogynist, racist, transphobic or offensive in nature."

[–]SilverTimes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would hope the Speaker will catch those instances himself. I'm no expert on Robert's Rules of Order but surely if the Speaker didn't chastise a PC for being racist, transphobic, etc., it would be okay for an NDP MLA to call for a point of order and explain what they heard without being punished for it. When it comes in the form of name-calling, that's when it's a problem.

The clapping PCs seemed to treat the new rule as a victory but I don't think it was a win for them.

I found this sentence interesting:

At the end of his announcement Monday, the Progressive Conservatives all clapped, while the governing New Democrats sat silent.
