"We have little faith that the Winnipeg Police Service can handle a hub for our missing loved ones. Families of missing persons feel time and time again that the police do not prioritize their cases and lack proper effort and cooperation with communities." manitobachiefs.com/press_releases…

In this year's budget, all of recreation has a budget of $60M, with $46M coming from the city. Compare that to the police budget: $327M in spending, with $281M from the city. Cops get 6x the funding as rec. That's why stuff like this keeps happening. winnipeg.ctvnews.ca/full-full-full…

Gillingham claims that the $650,000 a year to operate this essential public washroom 24/7 isn't available. Yet the City plans to increase its spending on police by $8.3 mil this year. There is PLENTY of money for this kind of thing. CUT THE WPS BUDGET. cbc.ca/news/canada/ma…

@tombrodbeck @truenorthcentre @theforks @PortagePlVision Forks North Portage is a public entity owned by the federal, provincial, and municipal governments, created to revitalize North Portage. Portage Place is a public asset that must be used for reconciliation to address the root causes of economic inequality 3/x

Above guidelines rent increases (an average of 9% in 2022, some as high as 137%! - during a ‘rent-freeze’) push tenants out of their homes and deepen Winnipeg’s housing crisis. 60,000+ MB tenant households have faced AGIs in the past 3 years.
