“Lake America” is coming up on some provincial gov or utility web sites in Canada. HydroOne (Ontario), Manitoba Hydro and Manitoba 5-1-1 (highway info) as examples. #mbpoli #cdnpoli #onpoli 1/2

Just read an advance copy of Kevin Chief’s new book. Highly recommended. It offers great life lessons (to people from all backgrounds) on gratitude, the importance of helping others, overcoming adversity, forgiveness and more.

With the usual caution that these are monthly snapshots, here are the latest inflation numbers from StatsCan today. They show that, among the provinces, Manitoba had the highest food inflation in April (vs April 2025) and tied for the highest overall inflation. #mbpoli

I rode my bike today, put it on a transit bus (front rack), rode the bus, then rode my bike some more. Many buses don’t have the racks, but for those that do (listed on the app schedule) It’s a great service.
