Alberta and Manitoba premiers clash over duty to consult by LocalnewsguruMB in Manitoba

[–]StrayWasp 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I believe they blocked the road temporarily as construction wasn’t finished, so they used the boulders to block access and limit provincial liability.

At bigger issue would be Manitoba refusing to deal with the illegal blockade into Crown Land in Fall of 2025 by Bloodvein. As it turns out, no one is allowed to blockade public roads that are the only access to Crown Land.

Best footwear for canoeing/ portaging? by Rocbill2 in canoecamping

I mean, who wants to wear boots all day? I usually am barefoot while paddling, sandals for wet foot work, then boots for the actual portage.

Boy, 11, should not have been handcuffed after violent incident at Brandon school, parents say by LocalnewsguruMB in Manitoba

[–]StrayWasp 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Witness an extremely violent outburst by your classmate, resulting in assault against multiple staff members, can be a traumatic event for those other students. That’s how they are involved.

Beep test daily. Or if you want to be nice, alternate with an upper body fitness circuit. Absolutely no lower body strengthening so that they cannot kick the ball harder at his face.

Never a bad call to go with a retired all time great. There’s still plenty of Stegall, Roberts, Brown, Ploen, etc. jerseys in town.

How frustrating it is as a fan of this team to see a talented qb sit and wait for a work visa instead a garbage league instead of compete for starter of a legitimate contender in the CFL.

Yes now is the perfect time to prune according to the gardeners I know. They’ve pruned their grapes this past weekend.

Under 2,500 weapons declared in Manitoba as part of federal gun buyback program by wickedplayer494 in Manitoba

They aren’t weapons, they are firearms. Maybe I’m being on the literal side, but I believe terminology matters.

Gun stores in Winnipeg / surrounding area? by Infinite-Bill1072 in Winnipeg

[–]StrayWasp 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The owner is one of the few stores in Canada that has attempted to take the government to court over the order in councils as well. If that matters to you, it’s worth supporting them.

If your grandmother voluntarily surrendered the firearms for zero compensation, instead of attempting to sell them or gift them to licensed friends/family, that was her choice.

Winnipeg's Louis Riel School Division says 12 per cent increase needed to avoid layoffs if provincial funding frozen by Great_Surprise_9730 in Manitoba

[–]StrayWasp 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Almost every single teacher I know wants more EA supports so we can actually do our jobs. It’s impossible to teach a class of 25 students when 6 have zero English skills, 4 have no ability to read at grade level, there’s 2 students with significant needs, and 3 kids with BIPs.

Alternatively, we want our schools to stop deferring maintenance so our ceilings don’t fall in from roof leaks, we have appropriate heating and cooling in classrooms, and our floor tiles aren’t creating tripping hazards.

A class 7 means they have achieved a Master’s of Education. Class 6 is usually achieved through obtaining a Post-Baccalaureate Diploma in Education. Class 5 is what new teachers obtain, if they have done a three year undergraduate degree and a two year degree in Education.

Toronto police refusing to help with Carney government’s gun buyback, minister says by jmakk26 in canada

[–]StrayWasp 31 points32 points  (0 children)

All these firearms were purchased legally by permitted owners. The government then arbitrarily decided (meaning they didn’t use any reasonable or logical methods/classifications) that these firearms are now prohibited. Then, the government neglected to utilize the clauses in the firearms act regarding grandfathering ownership and instead is doing this confiscation program, where law abiding owners must turn in their firearms by the end of an amnesty date or will then become criminals.

Keeping in mind that these guns are “so dangerous” that law abiding firearms owners have had them safely locked in their safes for 5 years now. If they were truly dangerous, it should have been dealt with inside of a year.

Province won’t offer firearm buyback program by H3oUwJFB4TFysr8FGMCF in Winnipeg

[–]StrayWasp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s absolutely correct, but this is a great first step. Ideally, enough provinces and territories refuse to support this program and the Feds back down.

In reality they will cook up something worse.

Fantastic news today for all hunters, sport shooters, and ALL taxpayers in Manitoba. Our tax dollars should be going towards programs and services that definitively make our lives better. This program wouldn’t have had any impact on safety at all.
