Thread #3 below about the @cityofwinnipeg “Corporate Advertising Policy.” A 🧵 - the epilogue.

See the start of the second thread here:

"#People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

@energy106fm & Evanov tried to make me feel like I am disposable.

Does @cityofwinnipeg define them as reputable?

#wpg22 #wpgpoli #mbpoli 46/3🧵
#winnipegpolice makes me feel like they will only and always be #Winnipeg's fascist brotherhood.

@themarugroup tried to make me feel like I am insignificant to their global worldview.

Does @cityofwinnipeg define @wpgpolice and Maru as reputable?

#wpg22 #wpgpoli #mbpoli 47/3🧵
The @WPG_Goldeyes make me feel they are exploiting our #2SLGBTQIA+ community w/ “#Diversity Day” for @RainbowResCtr

If @cityofwinnipeg does not see these failures & ignores this, #Winnipeg will make me feel it is willing to get measured so poorly.

#wpg22 #wpgpoli #mbpoli 48/3🧵
Again, ~9 minutes if I wasn't interrupted. Twice.

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."

Watch -

#wpg22 #wpgpoli #mbpoli 49/3🧵
Cllr. Schreyer: "Things don't get solved overnight. They take time, years."

Unacceptable. @SherriLRollins recognized Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, and the diversity of victims, affirming "Never again."

NOT "Never again, starting later."

#wpg22 #wpgpoli #mbpoli 50/3🧵
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.

#wpg22 #wpgpoli #mbpoli 51/3🧵
On a day that "Never Again" is affirmed, when #Winnipeg has what it takes, I'm not accepting "This might take time to fix it later."

It's one or the other. Navigating a solution by massaging bigots & stakeholders creates harm to vulnerable people.

#wpg22 #wpgpoli #mbpoli 52/3🧵
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. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Thread #2 below about the @cityofwinnipeg “Corporate Advertising Policy.” A 🧵, the story.

See the start of the first thread here:


#wpg22 #wpgpoli #mbpoli
3.2.e: "Only appear in reputable publications." How is it defined? Opinions: not part of #diversity & inclusion. Reputable is an opinion.

Ex: @energy106fm affirmed values & visions to be “one of the strongest media allies to the #LGBTQ community."

#wpg22 #wpgpoli #mbpoli 24/2🧵
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.

Does @cityofwinnipeg define @energy106fm as reputable?

04/28: I spoke to the @cityofwinnipeg supporting the SPIRIT of the "Corporate Advertising Policy.”

A randy night at the senior's centre has more teeth than this #policy.

It took #Winnipeg months to put "We prefer #kindness" in print.

This is long. A 🧵 …
(Actually, 3 🧵’s)
Watch -

Our elected officials are tone deaf to harm corporate #Winnipeg enables. Context is key to understanding and interrupting my presentation proved that.

Including #wpg22 for candidates. Please address this in your campaign.

#wpgpoli #mbpoli 02/1🧵
Report: clkapps.winnipeg.ca/DMIS/ViewPdf.a…
@ShawnNason moved, @KevinKleinwpg seconded.

Policy: clkapps.winnipeg.ca/DMIS/ViewPdf.a…

I didn't get to finish my presentation. I’ll share my notes here.

(Could have finished in ~9 mins, in full, with all relevant context 🤷🏼‍♀️)

@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.
