Today's the day candidates begin registering for election in #winnipeg. So far 3 sitting cllrs have decided that time is up. What we need is real leadership for our city. We are too quick to accept mediocrity. Looking forward to a better conversation! #wpgpoli open.substack.com/pub/brianpin...

We always look at the front of buildings but sometimes the back side can be usual as fascinating. One of my favourites in #winnipeg is the Burt.

The rear of a old large brick building. There are 3 metal fire escape stairs cascading down the did. This building is a old concert hall. At the top of the wall is a faded painted sign saying « Odéon Theatre »

Road report at 2:00PM. Just rode through downtown still no bike lanes cleared of snow, even though @cityofwinnipeg.bsky.social map shows them cleared. Really not sure what the point of the map is. #winnipeg

City of Winnipeg snow clearing map for downtown showing rhe bike lanes have all been cleared, but in reality… none have.

Brian Pincott@bpincott· Mar 18

Checked @cityofwinnipeg.bsky.social website for snow clearing update. At 8:00AM it showed all the downtown bike lanes as cleared. In reality none were done at 9:00. What's the point of the snow clearing update map if it isn't accurate in the least? #winnipeg legacy.winnipeg.ca/PublicWorks/...

Cities offer great ways to control the cost of gas. Most of them residents have already paid for. brianpincott.substack.com/p/how-your-c...

Title reads: How your City can Help Mitigate the Price of Gas, Cities offer a variety of tools to help manage the cost of driving.

Image is of a cycling on a bike lane with a bike counter. There is a car and a bus in the roadway alongside the separated bike lane.

Best opening line on the best opening track on a debut album: Gloria on Patty Smith’s Horses. A declaration that things will never be the same: “Jesus died for somebody’s sins, but not mine”.

My neighbour at work this morning at the Assiniboine Zoo. #winnipeg

À grey horse being led in the snow. The sun is shining through morning fog from behind them. The man has frost in his beard and for some inexplicable reason has one bare hand!

The photo caption reads: -46 horse walks here at the zoo!! Stay warm friends

I'm preparing to do a presentation on Dark Skies & light pollution & just discovered that Spruce Woods Provincial Park is the only Dark Sky Preserve in Manitoba. Yet, the website makes no mention of that. #manitoba #darkskies www.gov.mb.ca/sd/parks/par...

Screen shot of the front page of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada's designation of Spruce Woods Provincial Park as a Dark-Sky Preserve. It shows a Timelapse photo of the night sky against the outline of a teepee structure and trees in the foreground. There is a glow on the horizon that is light pollution. The stars are streaked in a circle across the night sky.
