“Crime is happening all over the city,” said Winnipeg's would-be mayor Kevin Klein.
Bluesky post by Winnipeg Free Press (from same day's timeline): "Mayoral candidate Kevin Klein says he would make Winnipeg the safest city in Canada by the end of his four-year term, if elected."

I was waiting for an order the other day. When they called my order, I got up and old-person-grunted much louder than I expected. Everyone turned around and looked. Quite a moment in my life.

“If we really want to end the violence and depravation that plagues Canada’s remote Aboriginal communities, we need to help them leave these communities, forever. [If not,] the least we can do to help is to send them a backhoe as they keep digging graves.” Scott Gilmore, now part of Team Carney

Kinew’s “mine baby mine” strategy to fast track MB mining is being used by the US (his main customer) for their military. Critical minerals “are needed to build fighter jets, drones, missiles, radar systems, submarines, armour, and ammunition.” Great reporting here. breachmedia.ca/elbows-up-ca...

Another article on how fast tracking MB mining (« mine baby mine ») is for the US military. « Canada’s critical-minerals pivot isn’t a niche Canadian story. It is the quiet edge of U.S. military readiness and industrial resilience. » MB specifically mentioned. thehill.com/opinion/nati...

Canada is quietly building the trusted minerals base the Pentagon needs
That shift will shape the availability of magnets, batteries and guidance systems across the U.S. defense-industrial base for decades.
