Councillor Schreyer: "I don't recall seeing a presentation such as yours at City Council before. In a sense, we're dealing with some new information & perspective."
Cllr. Schreyer: (re: #Policies better than #Winnipeg's) “What cities are doing a better job?"
Irrelevant. @cityofwinnipeg can make it happen & represent itself as a leader. A city's performance is not a model to explore when we have the tools now.
Cllr. @ShawnNason: (Thanks awareness of a "gap." @HireWheller, all!) Would I see having a #policy where one didn't exist before as a tangible movement?
Not this one. Congrats, #Winnipeg for putting "being a decent person" in print. 🤦🏼♀️
Before that, #Energy hired Dave Wheeler, a host released from his last radio position. The release was due to #transphobic#comments after receiving suspensions for racist comments.
@mike_yung@PrairieTheatre@Brittan60572844 Rant incoming. This is exactly why I'm flipping pissed there's no attention on this b/c nearly everyone is assuming the wrong narrative. Press & politics aren't picking it up because they're AFRAID of it being an #LGBTQ+/#trans issue w/o looking past it & seeing the REAL story.
@mike_yung@PrairieTheatre@Brittan60572844 Cyberbullying has infected our community. These users carry very far-right beliefs w/ a very specific agenda: dump Trudeau, dump Singh, cancel The Social, praise Don Cherry, celebrate Adam Skelly (now) & TARGET OUR COMMUNITY. It's incredibly linear, systemic & super predictable.
@mike_yung@PrairieTheatre@Brittan60572844 Considering the political leanings and the fact that it's oh-so-coincidental that OUR community is getting heat, especially yours truly, I struggle to not imagine DW blowing a dog whistle especially considering his COVID beliefs & political leanings, including w/ Gary Marshall.
