I'm heading home from the #CUTA2023ACTU conference in Saskatoon. Decided to take the train home because it was <1/2 the price of flying, and I thought I could work, relax, and read during the 14 hour trip.
It was supposed to leave here at 7 am and arrive in Winnipeg at 10 pm.
It was supposed to leave here at 7 am and arrive in Winnipeg at 10 pm.
When I woke up this morning, it said it was delayed till 1:15 pm - over 8 hours! Then the estimated departure kept on getting earlier and earlier, so I headed to the station and made it just in time for the newly-estimated 11:45 departure.
The station is basic, but functional.

The train finally arrived at 11:50, went past the station, sat there, and then backed in to the station.
I was finally able to get on board at 12:15, and I think we'll be leaving by 1:15.

5 of my employees were sprayed with bear spray while at work yesterday. A first for us but it's way too common - did you know that #winnipeg will experience nearly 1200 incidents this year? Please read this thread on my perspectives and actions taken to reduce this crime /1
First, my team is OK but shaken. Bear spray only causes temporary physical irritation (for hrs) but they were attacked and the psychological aspect can be much more damaging. This person committed an illegal, senseless act and I will pursue it as far as I can /2
Full disclosure: I sell bear spray and have for 20+ years. I sell it as a controlled substance, locked away & in-store only. You must produce valid ID and sign a number of documents before purchasing. I hold a pesticide license and remit all information to the govt each year. /3

The first #woonerf, Tuinstraat in Delft was the result of citizen action against a traffic plan that turned a street in to a driving shortcut. Residents reclaimed the space for play & socialization by installing barriers & trees & the city conceded

Woonerfs are safe extensions of the home in to the street. They are designed to slow traffic & provide space for play & socialization between residents. These semi private spaces allow residents to personalize the front of their home with planting & seating

Another legacy of the #Woonerf is the #Geveltuin (facade garden) policy in Dutch cities. The policy encourages residents to remove a portion of paving stones in front of their home & replace them with green space.

Where’s Jordan? It has been a valid question from so many of you, and it has been difficult to hold back from responding. However, some things take time and here I am now. I do owe you an answer because you have graciously invited me into your home every morning for a decade 1/20
We have laughed together and cried together, and I recognize that I may hold a very special place in yours and your family’s hearts.

A message from our publisher, Ron East @canadasheli: The Jewish community of #Winnipeg cannot trust @jfcuia @jewishwinnipeg to stand up for them as they are assaulted by Jew-haters: Israelis are second class citizens to Federation executives across Canada

"Our small gathering of perhaps 50 was standing against a line of a reported 400. For the Jewish people from Winnipeg amongst us it was a stunning experience. For the Israelis, our call to action proved what we had long suspected: the Jews of Winnipeg are no longer safe."
"It also proved another suspicion: the self-proclaimed “organized Jewish community” is operating from the same playbook as Jewish leaders in Europe did in the 1930s. We all know how that turned out."
Roads are closing down in the area of the @RadyJCC as supporters of #israel for a car rally, organized by @canadasheli founder of the Israeli Canadian Council. The offices of @jewishwinnipeg, whose statement yesterday incensed Israeli Winnipeggers, is on the campus. 1/x
Cars are lined up down Doncaster with Israeli flags, music playing, no hate chants or anything of the sort. @wpgpolice coordinated closely with organizers to ensure a safe staging and route was planned. @RadyJCC lawyers tried to intimidate the ICC into moving the starting point.
At their rally on Saturday the pro-Israel group agreed to stand on the NW corner of Memorial at Broadway, observing pandemic precautions. Nakba 73 car rally crowd crossed from the Legislature, started an ruckus, and cops formed a line on the blvd of Memorial. It got ugly.

➡️ "Investment and divestment requirements for existing infrastructure assets."
➡️ "What assets should be divested?"

In the early part of the first millennium CE, the #IndoEuropean language known as Proto-#Germanic diverged into an East branch (which included #Gothic) and a Northwest branch.
Northwest then split into West and North branches when Proto-#Norse developed in #Scandinavia.
