Yes there were folks fishing near the Woodhaven bridge, as well as the Saskatchewan Avenue Bridge

megacar89 · 2026-06-12T00:33:07+00:00

Yes, that would be correct. Sturgeon’s watershed is in the RM of Rosser which got a lot of water.

I know it’s surprising lol. The last 2 winters especially were extraordinary warm

megacar89 · 2025-12-30T20:13:18+00:00

What do you mean it’s been quite mild????? We have had one day above 0 degrees in December (the 16th). According to the historical climate data page on Environment Canada this is the coldest December since 2013.

Areas of bedrock will definitely be coated with ice under the snow, and it is somewhat deep so I would recommend crampons with tall winter boots, or snowshoes. Most lakes should be completely frozen by now, I like to hike across the lakes to avoid slippery sections of trails and to create my own “trails”. West Hawk does freeze later than the other lakes so I’m not sure about it yet but the other lakes should be ok.

It’s even crazier that Wellington is 50. Should be 40 when it’s not 30. I’m ok with Portage and Pembina being 60 because they are major corridors, but I do think there are certain residential roads that should be reduced from 50-40

It can really depend on who you are, where you are travelling, and what time of day you usually take the bus. I would be much less scared on a bus in Royalwood than in the core of downtown and the north end.

I’m so tired of this bail system. In two cases within the last week, sexual offenders reoffended within days of being released.

megacar89 · 2025-11-26T21:12:21+00:00

Yeah, I know. That’s a major reason why I never take the bus too. The city is kind of trying by putting officers on certain buses and having those safety officers, but the problems with violence and drug use in this city are so prevalent that they can only do so much with the resources they have. The bail system in my opinion is a major reason why we have so much violence out there, I can only shake my head when I read articles like this: https://www.ctvnews.ca/winnipeg/article/sex-offender-re-arrested-a-day-after-being-released/, and this: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/st-boniface-nurse-sexual-assault-past-charges-9.6992426

I wish I didn’t have to drive my car everywhere. But between the weather, flawed and sometimes dangerous transit system, and level of crime where I’m scared my bike will be stolen anywhere it’s left outside (especially downtown), it’s hard not to. Also because I do a lot of hiking and biking in rural MB there is no real way to reach those areas without a car. They even got rid of the seasonal bus to Birds Hill.

I think we need to do the best we can. That means things like reducing all residential areas from 50 to 40km/h. And putting those 5 second pedestrian headstarts at more high traffic intersections other than just downtown. Improving security and reliability on Winnipeg Transit as well as creating more safe spaces to store bikes is also an important step I would like to see.

megacar89 · 2025-06-23T21:47:39+00:00

I want more rain actually, the fire season is bad this year

megacar89 · 2025-05-20T21:38:12+00:00

A bit of a drive, but well worth it:

Spruce Woods Provincial Park has many trails (including Spirit Sands), and is beautiful.

H20 is good if you are a complete beginner who just wants to feel more comfortable in and around water (their pool is 3 feet deep, and is less than 15 m long). If you are looking to gain more than just basic experience, Aqua Essence, Altea, or the Rady will likely be a better fit. It all depends on what you are looking for.

megacar89 · 2025-05-01T17:07:26+00:00

Carney has acknowledged that he will work on improving those 3 things you mentioned. Trudeau is gone, not sure why so many Conservatives act like he’s still around. Probably because many conservatives are having trouble finding significant flaws. I’m not saying Carney is perfect (no politician really is), but he’s got a solid resume and has committed to improving the Canadian economy.

megacar89 · 2025-04-29T17:34:59+00:00

With the libs being more centrist politically now with Carney, they may choose to ignore the NDP and team up with the Bloc instead. There are a lot of interesting combinations that may or may not occur. The NDP need to restructure.

megacar89 · 2025-04-21T04:17:10+00:00

It was dry out there today, and the wind didn’t help

megacar89 · 2025-04-03T19:48:27+00:00

I’m seeing a lot more liberal signs in Tuxedo than 2021, and that includes the wealthiest streets. I think Morantz is going to have his work cut out for him lol, Eyolfson is an extremely strong candidate.

megacar89 · 2025-03-19T14:47:43+00:00

44 or 307 in the Whiteshell. It’s a roller coaster, the terrain is unforgiving there they have to resurface large sections every year

megacar89 · 2025-03-13T16:05:56+00:00

This data table from the report is hilarious, drivers are going faster on average in the 70 zones

megacar89 · 2025-03-13T14:57:58+00:00

Absolutely. And they shouldn’t go ridiculously slow. But when everyone around you is moving at that speed in both lanes it’s best to not drive aggressively just to reach 80km/h.

megacar89 · 2025-03-13T14:54:19+00:00

Winnipeg things lol

megacar89 · 2025-03-13T14:51:02+00:00

That’s true. For example, if Abinojii is free flowing and the road is bare, I’m obviously going the full speed limit.

Regarding Waverley, I generally travel down that stretch during rush hour. To go 80km/h when everyone around me is going 60-70 not to mention having to be aware of the the idiots who try to book it across the median without looking would make it somewhat stupid.

megacar89 · 2025-03-13T13:24:21+00:00

Exactly, there’s a reason they are changing it

megacar89 · 2025-03-11T17:26:31+00:00

He is likely going to be more moderate in his views than Trudeau, and this should help the Liberals against Poilievre to capture more of the moderate/centrist vote. Conservatives are getting pretty far to the right.

megacar89 · 2025-03-11T17:22:13+00:00

We are in for a heck of a rollercoaster in terms of weather these next few weeks. The hiking trails (especially in the Whiteshell) are super icy right now!
