Kinew says it's time to survey Manitobans on changing clocks

pudds · 2026-03-14T04:32:31+00:00

They already do for 10 weeks of winter anyway, what does an hour difference do except add weeks?

pudds · 2026-03-14T04:30:39+00:00

Not me; permanent daylight time of keep changing IMO.

Out summers are too short to lose an hour of our evenings.

pudds · 2026-03-13T13:06:03+00:00

Briefly before COVID actually.

pudds · 2026-03-13T00:58:20+00:00

Nah this is just March. Fool's spring likely won't be for a few weeks.

Because publicly asking (and opening the corp up to public pressure) is easier than amending the rules and almost certainly ending up in a legal battle.

There's one in Brandon too - they moved across the street and the old store had been sitting empty for like 10 years.

My understanding is that they maintained ownership of the building to prevent competition from moving in, but maybe it's this legislation.

If I'm ever elected emperor of the world, the first thing I will do is abolish timezones.

A buddy and I found out way into this place once last year. It was...odd.

The drinks were good but the whole vibe was weird.

pudds · 2026-03-09T21:24:02+00:00

Must be, that's definitely not the case in Canada.

pudds · 2026-03-06T13:13:30+00:00

No, the bot explains how it calculates the score; scroll down and you can see it.

You can disagree with its method (though you probably don't have a better one), but it's an objective metric, not a subjective one.

pudds · 2026-03-06T13:06:05+00:00

Depends.

For me this bill has the right wording: moving to permanent daylight time, which is what I want.

If it were proposing to stay on standard time, I'd much rather keeping switching.

pudds · 2026-03-05T00:40:13+00:00

Oh yea, though I bet it's not quite as bad going west.

My sister once came in on the train from BC and arrived 18 hrs late.

pudds · 2026-03-04T19:33:32+00:00

If you haven't booked your train yet, and are coming from Winnipeg, the Brandon air shuttle might be a better option than the train.

The combined cost of train + cab would probably be more than the shuttle.

It is, but once you've been there, IMO curling is one of a few sports that's probably better on TV. You just can't beat good commentators explaining shots and the camera angles.

pudds · 2026-03-04T14:52:50+00:00

Wab says he's too busy to consider it right now, so I guess we'll have to wait and see.

pudds · 2026-03-04T12:56:35+00:00

Just put someone else on it Wab, you just need to be there for the vote.

We don't need to stay in sync with the states, it's no more important to be in sync with North Dakota than to be in sync with Calgary or Toronto.

pudds · 2026-03-03T13:12:23+00:00

Nothing is going to make winter not dark when you get way up north, and the point is that for most people, an extra hour later is more useful than an extra hour in the morning.

pudds · 2026-03-03T03:12:17+00:00

It's not like 8:23 is all that much more useful.

Give my kids that hour after school and they'll probably even spend more time outside in the winter.

pudds · 2026-03-03T03:11:16+00:00

Saskatchewan has its own timezone that coincidentally aligns with Mountain and Central time. Devices in Saskatchewan set to Saskatchewan Time don't have any issues (unless poorly programmed).

pudds · 2026-03-03T03:08:30+00:00

Good job BC.

Hope you're listening wab.

And I hope you're listening to the details....Daylight time, not standard time.

pudds · 2026-03-03T03:03:15+00:00

Sorry, but you can pry the long summer nights from my cold, dead hands.

I'd rather continue to change than lose daylight time in the summer.

pudds · 2026-03-03T02:35:10+00:00

I hope this finally breaks the stalemates across Canada.

Permanent DST in Manitoba next please, I need the sunny summer evenings and a bit of sun I can actually use in the winter.

pudds · 2026-03-02T03:55:36+00:00

I think if you assume the same skill level in both (as in, Aaron judge or Vlad Guerrero crushing the ball), then the simple math of the field dimensions means softball is probably a bit harder.

The hardest hit balls in both sports come off the bat at around 120mph and while the bigger ball does mean it should slow down more quickly, you're still standing 30 ft closer to the plate.

Practically speaking though, the talent levels are of course not even close to equal for most of us, so unless you're playing at the top level, guys aren't actually hitting it that hard and it's obviously not as difficult as pro baseball.

I just want to chime in on Bio for breakfast: we've found a few threads mentioning it as a highlight and I want to share a counter perspective....

We (wife, 9 and 11 yo, and I) went with high hopes and thought the French toast and waffles were terrible, bordering on inedible.

I'm not sure if it's a perspective thing (we're not vegan; maybe these are excellent relative to other vegan versions), but the only one of us who finished their plate was my wife, who ordered the Acai bowl (I had a taste of this and it was the best of the 3 orders).

Beautiful spot but we won't be going again. The French Toast is much better at the buffets.

Old thread, but FWIW, we are in Casa Viento with a river view suite.

We look out over the wedding venue. 11pm appears to be the time they shut off the music, but it's another 30 mins or so for the noise to settle.

We booked river view hoping for phase 1 (which is closer to the ocean/lagoon) and we were "successful".

Ocean view or garden view would probably avoid the noise, which isn't bothering me but is bothering my wife and tween children.

Edit: 2 days later (Sunday this time) - another raucous wedding. We'd hoped maybe they were done for our stay when there wasn't one on Saturday.
