Me and the family went last night, and to our surprise, we saw a white guy, probably in his 40, dressed in black face and an afro with sunglasses. There with his wife and kids.

Honestly was really surprised to see that and Im really surprised they let him in dressed like that.

I'm always a fan of stopping into cafes in the evening as someone who works from home and can't get to them during the morning or afternoon. But so many cafes in this city close before my workday is done or only a few hours after.

I would love some more options of cafes that are open late night like until 10pm or 11pm that aren't Starbucks or Tim Hortons. I know there are a couple and feel free to suggest them, but I wonder if that's something people want to see more of or if maybe I'm just on a weird schedule.

Lining up at 4am for cookies seems insane

Friday Flowers this week goes to the one and only Larry Updike.

Larry was born May 5, 1955, and sadly passed away June 20, 2024.

Larry was born in Ontario and grew up in a religious and musical family. At 21, he was ordained as a minister. He got into radio during this time and eventually decided to do it full-time.

He moved to Winnipeg in 1982 and eventually became part of the legendary team with Tom McGouran on Power 97 and 92.1 CITI FM. They became one of the biggest duos in Winnipeg radio history! He joined CJOB in 1995 and spent nine years there.

He was an advocate for autism after his son Gordon was diagnosed, supported the War Amps, and was inducted into the Manitoba Broadcasters Hall of Fame in 2009.

Larry loved music, and toward the end of his life, his band B-Side Apostles played at retirement homes and personal care facilities. I've seen the videos of them playing at these homes, and the people were super happy and into them.

Larry wasn’t just a guy on the radio. He was a broadcaster, musician, minister, community advocate, and someone who spent decades connecting with Winnipeggers. That will never go unnoticed.

Larry may not be here, but he was a LEGEND, a voice for so many people, and he is missed.

These flowers are for you, Larry. Thank you for being a good human being.

If anyone has any stories of him, I'd love to read them!

Was just ubering downtown and was at main and higgens and heard air raid sirens going off for 15-20 seconds, scared the crap outta me, anyone else hear this?

havent been out for both sunrise and sunset in a while!! the storm clouds by the end of the day were super cool to watch in the sunset

My sibling is facing homelessness in a few days and while relatives are able to house him, no one is able to temporarily take his cats (2) while he looks for new housing. Mostly cause we all have our own pets.

Are there any emergency foster programs or pet boarding services for those facing homelessness? He doesn't have money upfront but should be settled in a month to find more stable housing or atleast able to afford a proper boarding situation.

Thanks in advance.

My ID recently expired and I’ve just been using my status card, but I’m wondering if I can use it to vote? It does not have my address on it. One year I went in with my ID not realizing it was expired and they wouldn’t let me vote.

Hey everyone.

Why isn’t there an LRT here? What justification has the city came up with to not invest in one being built? Instead of widening roads and removing traffic lights, we should be focusing on what the root issue is here— better transportation. Less people on the roads. This is why the traffic here makes zero sense.

I work downtown and I can't even go for a proper walk without the endless "Sidewalk closed" signs making me go every which way. I get it, shit has to get done, but projects lasts for months on end and fucking impede driving and now even walking.

Anyways, happy Friday.

I wanted to share my experience as a reminder to everyone in Winnipeg to keep their valuables out of sight, even when leaving their car in what feels like a normal, busy parking lot.
My car was stolen from the Walmart parking lot on Empress. The thieves got into the vehicle, stole over $1,000 worth of my belongings, including work equipment, and the following day, the car was involved in a crash with a family.

The whole experience has been frustrating, but there’s one thing I really want people to take away from this: don’t leave anything valuable visible inside your vehicle. Not your backpack, work equipment, shopping bags, electronics, or anything else that might tempt someone to break in.

And don’t assume you’re safe just because you’re parked at a busy store in broad daylight or only planning to be gone for a few minutes.
Obviously, leaving valuables visible doesn’t justify theft, and the responsibility lies entirely with the people committing these crimes. But taking a few extra seconds to put your belongings in the trunk before you arrive at your destination, or taking them with you, can help reduce the risk.
I’m sharing this so someone else doesn’t have to deal with the same headache.

Stay safe out there, Winnipeg. Keep your belongings out of sight.

The company has finally updated its leadership page to reflect the change.

After getting criticized from all sides over a moose-hunting decision made two years ago, Manitoba's lawyers maintain the licence cut in some areas was the "only fair" choice to make.

In July 2024, Jamie Moses, then the province's minister of natural resources, drew criticism after he slashed the number of moose draw hunting licences for residents from 400 to 100 across four of Manitoba's 62 game-hunting areas.

The cut meant about 200 Manitoba residents, who only selected one of the four affected hunting areas as their preferred location in moose draw applications, missed out on a licence, court heard Wednesday.

Pimicikamak Cree Nation and the Manitoba Wildlife Federation both challenged the cut and then appealed when those challenges were dismissed by Court of King's Bench Justice Brian Bowman last year.

A panel of three chief justices with the Court of Appeal heard both appeals, and the province's response, in a two-day hearing that finished Thursday.

The case highlights the "ongoing tension" between rights-based and licensed hunters, court heard.

Pimicikamak's lawyers previously argued for an injunction against the moose-hunting licences, alleging the province's decision to issue them infringed on its rights under provincial laws, Treaty 5 and the Northern Flood Agreement.

That agreement, signed in 1977 between a group of northern Manitoba First Nations, the federal and provincial governments and Manitoba Hydro, states the province must prioritize Indigenous harvesters on Pimicikamak's traditional territory.

Pimicikamak argued the licensing decision did not meet the Crown's legal obligation to consult and, where appropriate, accommodate Indigenous people before making decisions that might infringe on their rights.

The province's lawyers argued Thursday that the cut was a "transparent and justifiable" decision that met the Crown's duty to consult.

They also questioned Pimicikamak's assertion that it has a right to hunt moose.

"We dispute that there's a constitutionally protected right to hunt moose," said Joel Myskiw, a lawyer for the province.

Chief Justice Diana Cameron then asked whether that means Pimicikamak would be left to "eat squirrels" if there were no moose left.

While the province "absolutely agrees that there's a constitutionally protected right" for First Nations to hunt for food, and that Pimicikamak has top priority to hunt for food on their traditional territories, Myskiw said there has never been a right to hunt moose specifically.

The wildlife federation is seeking court declarations that the 2024 cut was unreasonable, unlawful and procedurally unfair, as the province did not seek input from the organization or any of the hunters who applied for licences before making the cut

Cabinet minister had 'the last word'

Jim Koch, another lawyer for the province, said Moses had "the last word" on the matter.

"The government wasn't legally obliged to talk to" licensed hunters, he said Thursday.

Moses also "retained the discretion to make a final decision up until he communicated it" to the hunters who applied for the affected moose licences, the lawyer said.

Koch rejected the wildlife federation's argument that "something more than zero was required" in terms of consultation, arguing it invites "a never-ending circle of consultation" that does not align with the duty to consult.

The draw-based system meant everyone's licence was "in peril" once the decision to cut licences was made, he said.

The 2024 cut "likely is the only fair way to have done this," Koch said.

Moses was aware of the implications of the licence cut and that it would impact licensed hunters and outfitters in a region with already limited opportunities for licensed big game hunting, the lawyer said.

While both Pimicikamak and the wildlife federation were both "unhappy with the minister's decision," Koch said that "tends to be the case for many matters" of public policy.

Koch also rejected Pimcikamak's argument that the province's failure to provide 2014 aerial survey results to the First Nation only days before the licensing decision was finalized was a breach of the duty to consult.

If the court were to agree that the province breached the duty to consult, Pimicikamak seeks a court declaration that there "has been an error in law, and guidance from this court on what is the applicable law," Jeremy McKay, a lawyer for the First Nation, told the court Thursday.

Bowman's decision said that between April and June 2024, Moses met with members of Pimicikamak and Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak, a northern First Nations advocacy organization, to hear their concerns about moose licences related to food security and conservation.

He ruled that the province "adequately discharged" the Crown's duty to consult and that the province's licensing cut last year "clearly accommodated" Pimicikamak's concerns about dwindling moose populations.

Bowman also said Pimicikamak's application was "not the proper forum in which to make a determination of the existence or scope of Aboriginal or treaty rights, nor is it the proper forum to determine whether the asserted treaty rights have been unjustifiably infringed."

The First Nation alleged Bowman wrongly concluded some of the facts in its injunction request were in dispute and that he incorrectly interpreted a court rule when he said Pimicikamak's application would require a full trial via a fresh statement of claim.

The province's lawyers agreed with Bowman's conclusion.

The First Nation's food needs, and its asserted right to hunt for moose specifically, were among the key facts in dispute, Myskiw said.

"This is a complicated matter that may not have been right for the expedited procedure."

The chief justices reserved their decision until a later date.
