The Internet was first invented for military purposes, and then expanded to the purpose of communication among scientists.

Little known fact - the PCs recently took Manitoba Hydro owned fibre optic infrastructure and gave control of it to a private company. The results of this back door privatization scheme have been disastrous for northern communities, small businesses, and Hydro ratepayers. /1

What. A. Thread.
Tube on strike, I dawdled to Paddington on Friday. Passing the old wrought iron sign for Pizza Express, I was reminded of an event 30+ years ago, when I got caught up in a drama that resulted in a divorce, two marriages and many changed lives. It began with a heart attack 🧵

Broken English is a sign of courage and intelligence and it would be nice if more people remembered that when interacting with immigrants and refugees.

Sister Rosetta Tharpe is credited as the Godmother of Rock ‘N’ Roll. Before Elvis, Johnny Cash or Little Richard, there was Sister Tharpe- A Black woman who forged her own sound in a male dominated industry. She does not get the credit she deserves.

This can't be emphasized enough. Bill 64 is not evidence based nor best practices. It is about centralizing power to facilitate unpopular regressive reforms that have failed in the States. It ignores almost all of the K-12 Review let alone modern progressive education reforms.

1. Arterial road renewals are being done w/o dedicated 🚲 lanes 2. #OpenStreets implementation was like pulling teeth 3. Councillors are actively blocking Greenway Pilots 3. Winnipeg has 97.7 pedestrian deaths per 100k ppl. Calgary is 2nd at 58.7. You’re literally killing us.

Winnipeg has a boulevard named after this man: Bishop Grandin Boulevard. @Mayor_Bowman we need to rename this street. Nobody, not Grandin nor Macdonald or anybody else, should be honoured or immortalized if they played a role in this system of genocide. #TRC

Eric Carole, a truly beloved icon of children’s publishing, has passed away. His The Very Hungry Caterpillar transformed children’s picture books and brought vivid gorgeous art right into the littlest ones’ hands. Thank you Mr Carle for a brilliant legacy.💖 @PennyMorka @mra_mb

For clarity: most patients in ICU are just normal people with normal families that had to go to work and are doing the best they can. Stop kicking them when they are down #stoptheblamegame

Side note: Anyone who claims media are promoting fear is doing you a disservice. People in my profession are doing their best to keep you informed. No one wants you to be scared. The "fear" angle you see on socials is cynical, denialist propaganda. Beware disinformation.

Notice how @BrianPallister never says that due to seniors being prioritized, younger folks may not have the same access to a COVID vaccine? His intentional racism is dangerous and perpetuates a false narrative that the Feds are solely responsible for Indigenous health.

Seriously. This ad was intended to prevent children from mistaking TV for reality. A few million adults need their own house-hippo guidance every time they go online. m.youtube.com/watch?v=TijcoS…
