I deliver on average 1-2 webinars a month and get great ROI from them! I get to meet new people, partner with orgs like @volunteermb (as one example) and educate and empower people 💪 Bonus: many of my attendees become @Starling_Social's clients after!

Webinars are an easy, inexpensive approach to reaching your target audience. 👩💻
I can say from experience that webinars can offer a great ROI. Let’s dive into how to create a webinar and generate new leads in our most recent blog: buff.ly/3eb8xN2

Not only did someone leave a death threat on our music video about @obbykhan60, but they went back through our other videos and left a comment insinuating they know where we live. Scary stuff.
(Also, yes I know "Wolseley" is in our band name so it's obvious, but it's still alarming to know someone out there might have violent intentions towards us and is making it known that they know where we live.)

Big Trouble in Little Wolseley is back with a punk cover to remind you of the following:
- @obbykhan60 is a sellout who took $500,000 from the PCs and did nothing with it while MB businesses suffered during the pandemic.
- He acts as a dog whistle for racists by lying about being shoved by @WabKinew and pretending he's "scared" of him.
- He's a shill who doesn't deserve to represent Manitobans. Give it a listen and make sure to VOTE 🗳️

Seeing all the streetcars in downtown Toronto makes me
A. Excited to use them, and
B. Forever furious that #Winnipeg got rid of ours – at Toronto, Ontario

Lots of history there in what is the former Polson family house. I wish something would happen. At this point it is just a huge hazard. Sad. winnipegdowntownplaces.blogs…

Without the CBC, there may have never been a Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, and without Fred Rogers, there may have never been a Mr. Dressup.
This is the story of the friendship between Fred Rogers and Ernie Coombs.
After Ernie Coombs began to pursue a career in children's entertainment, he became an assistant puppeteer to Fred Rogers at WQED in Pittsburgh on The Children's Corner.
He created several puppets including Lady Elaine Fairchild.
The two became close friends while working together. Fred Rogers was the best man at Ernie Coombs' wedding, and was also the godfather to Ernie's children.
In 1962, CBC offered Fred Rogers his own show. Together, they drove up to Canada to create this new show.
This show was an early version of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood called Misterogers. It was on this show that Fred Rogers first appeared on camera.
When Fred Rogers moved back to the United States to launch his famous show he recommended to CBC that they build a show around Ernie Coombs.
As a result, Ernie Coombs stayed in Canada and joined Butternut Square.
Rogers told Coombs:
"If you are restrained, the kids will come to you."
That show lasted from 1964 to 1967 and it was there he started to develop the character of Mr. Dressup.
When Butternut Square ended, it was immediately replaced with Mr. Dressup.
That show ran for 3,000 episodes before it ended in 1996. By then, Ernie Coombs had become a Canadian icon.
