It’s really a bit on the nose at this point

I think there’s a personal preference/confidence in traffic thing there - I wouldn’t view passing a stopped bus by changing lanes as especially or unusually risky, any more than changing lanes when there are parked cars in the curb lane. Have a lot of years of cycling in traffic, though.

One of my more intense rounds of P90X was the only time in my life I could (briefly) do one-armed pushups. That will literally never happen again.

That’s an unusual way to spell Winnipeg

I have to say, as a cyclist I don't love floating bus stop arrangements. We have some in Winnipeg now and I wouldn't advocate for more. People waiting for the bus are often on their phones, headphones in, and not aware of their surroundings. As a cyclist I'd rather be in a full traffic lane.

My foster girls Sparky and Chief are going back to Winnipeg Humane Society tmrw and will be up for adoption! They’re super sweet, well-socialized kittens — Chief (black one) is especially snuggly + chatty. They really love each other so would be amazing for someone to take both, if you know anyone!

Being involved in running a church includes big principles and a ton of details. We hope the things we do support the values, the ethics, and the faith we try to live out together. This week’s unplanned task - purging music written by a composer credibly accused of sexual misconduct.

I think I still have a working discman in a box…

How to collect CDs? First, go to your local HMV…

I'm about a day in and it's kinda medium-average. Definitely feel like something's happening, but not a big deal.

I think we all blinked at once and September passed

When I looked yesterday they were there, so I grabbed a time. Very convenient location, always so quick! I hate waiting for anything...

Matthew Froese @matthewfroese.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

I must have just missed you there!

And for those who care about such things, this location has the Moderna vaccine

I’m always impressed with the efficiency of the seasonal vaccine clinic at the Shopper’s in Osborne Village. I was in and out in 5 minutes today while running a few errands over lunch. They have both flu and COVID vaccines on hand, and you can do them both in one visit. #Winnipeg

I’d guess the probability of a split here is pretty high, unless there’s a sufficiently charismatic leader ready to step in that isn’t immediately apparent

Matthew Froese @matthewfroese.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

I mean, sometimes leaving a gap for a time makes room for someone new. Take a season to rebuild? I think it’s fundamentally hard for contemporary conservative movements in Canada to navigate what their members want, though.

Matthew Froese @matthewfroese.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

I mean, the last leadership vote there was quite tight. Would definitely be a split in what the party membership is interested in, and one half of the party would be much further right than I think he is

Matthew Froese @matthewfroese.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

So neither of the most recent leadership candidates are even in the party anymore?

Matthew Froese @matthewfroese.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

😢 A dysfunctional opposition and more extremes are both bad for democracy

Matthew Froese @matthewfroese.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Hmm, will have to take a closer look for signs next time I’m by thete

Matthew Froese @matthewfroese.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Maybe? Looked small for something like that, but I only got a very quick look at it

When I drove past the Legislature this morning, there were some tents on the front lawn. Is there a protest or something? I didn't find anything in the news. #Winnipeg

Vaccines save lives. If not for yourself then do it for the vulnerable people all around you. #Manitoba

Hmm, we haven’t received one yet. I think they did this with the last guy too, try to introduce him a little ahead of the game

Congratulations! Great day for it.

That anyone still had a bungalow that size in that part of downtown Toronto in 2026 is an absolute aberration. Was a cute house and yard though. Definitely the only one like it on the block. Should have taken the developers offer to compensate them for their impacts.
