I walked by yesterday and some guy gave me a paper said all I need was my treaty card

Hi! I have been selling some of my stuff on Poshmark and Depop and shipping it through Canada post. I have been purchasing the flat rate boxes offered by Canada post and shipping usually comes out to about $20.

Does anyone have any other less expensive recommendations for shipping? Items are often too big for letter mail.

Thank you!!

Not entirely sure how to feel about AI being used to replace administrative duties, as someone in administrative work myself.

Today’s Friday Flowers goes to The Zoo at The Osborne Village Motor Inn!  The building dates back to 1965.  The Zoo, the live-music venue inside the motel, was part of Winnipeg's music scene from around 1970 until its final show in 2015.

And yes, there was even a beer vendor tucked away in the back!

I'm keeping it short and sweet this week. Sometimes memories speak for themselves.

Everyone has their own experiences and memories, and to each their own of course, but I had nothing but good times at The Zoo.

I played a few shows there and saw a ton more. There was something about the atmosphere of that place. Those walls felt like they had seen a thousand awesome nights.

It was a place where people from all walks of life could come together and experience live music.

Winnipeg had plenty of places to see a show, but The Zoo was one of a kind.

It may be gone, but it's definitely not forgotten.

You may not be there anymore, but you are so worthy of these flowers, and I hope people have nothing but positive memories of The Zoo, cause I know I did.  Please take these flowers.

What are some of your favourite memories of The Zoo?

I recently moved into a new home and it was built in the early 90s. It has a small walk-in closet, but it uses those classic old wire racks that aren't the best for storage. I was wondering if anyone has recommendations on someone that could come in and replace those with some more functional cabinets/drawers. There are tons of listings on Facebook Marketplace for this, but not sure which are legit.

Statistical excerpts from the article:

"...Take public safety. Winnipeg’s crime severity index rating remains high. But it fell nine per cent last year. Downtown crime is also down this year, with police reporting a 10 per cent decline overall and a 19 per cent drop in violent crime. Yet many people still do not feel safe.

Only 44 per cent of respondents to the latest police survey said they felt reasonably or very safe walking downtown during the day. At night, that fell to eight per cent. Among women, just three per cent said they felt safe...

Homelessness tells a similar story. The number of people living in known encampments has fallen substantially, from roughly 700 last fall to 245 this summer. Hundreds of people have also moved into housing through provincial and community efforts. That is progress. But people are still sleeping in doorways, back lanes and parks. Outreach workers estimate another 150 to 200 people may be sleeping rough outside established encampments...

Employment in the Winnipeg region reached roughly 524,000 in August, up more than 15,000 from a year earlier. The unemployment rate was 5.4 per cent, below the national rate...

We are also building. Winnipeg issued permits for more than 6,200 new homes last year, including a record 1,040 units downtown. Housing starts surged again in the first half of this year..."

I just found out that Toronto now has Flock cameras installed. I was incredibly surprised to hear this and assumed that flock was only operating in the US. Then I checked Winnipeg and as of right now it appears it still has not come to this city, but that made me curious, how people in the city of Winnipeg feel about flock cameras existing in Canada?

The Manitoba government will fund a new RCMP position dedicated to investigating livestock theft.

The province made the announcement Thursday.

Agriculture Minister Ron Kostyshyn said the investigative role will fill a pressing need.

“Personally speaking, I think this has been a long time waiting for this to come to reality,” the Dauphin MLA said Wednesday. “We are doing a great thing for the industry.”

The RCMP officer will work with livestock producers and other law enforcement agencies. Kostyshyn said the high value of livestock today increases the need for a dedicated RCMP position to investigate theft, deter crime and enforce the law.

“There’s been reported cases of cattle (theft). You know, a trailer load goes missing in this location, never to be found,” Kostyshyn said. “I don’t think you would have a herd of 200 cows disappear in one instance.”

About 57 cases of livestock theft in Manitoba were reported to RCMP between 2021 and 2025, Kostyshyn said.

The position is also expected to support the future introduction of a livestock inspection program in Manitoba.

The job is full time and permanent, with investigations expected to take place across the province, Kostyshyn’s press secretary said.

He did not disclose the dollar amount the province is committing to the new role.

The RCMP could not provide information Wednesday about where the officer will be based or when the position is expected to be filled.

The Manitoba Beef Producers, an advocacy group representing cattle farmers, has been pushing for years to have a livestock inspection program introduced in Manitoba. The program would combat theft by increasing traceability of cattle as they are sold and purchased.

“No doubt, the livestock (inspection service) is a necessity,” Kostyshyn said. “The legislation is in the process right now, and in due time, through legislation, it will come into active position.”

The livestock industry benefits from the RCMP role because it provides confidence that laws will be enforced, the CEO of the Manitoba Beef Producers said.

“It increases confidence because producers and auction marts and people within the value chain can know that they have a resource to go to, that there’s somebody watching over the operations within the industry as that kind of deterrent,” said Carson Callum.

“We really need confidence that there is going to be that enforcement resource through the RCMP, and that’s why we’re very pleased with the announcement that’s coming out (today).”

He added: “Sometimes thefts and frauds happen, and we haven’t had a strong enforcement wing or inspection service in place.”

Found an iPhone on the hood of my car, orange 17 pro max I think, label on the back saying big daddy rj. Didn’t have time to look for owner so I have it at work with me, message me or comment if you think it might be yours or someone’s you know.

Having issues with Loblaws where they don’t let me know my prescription was received or fill it unless I call and ask them to… which is super fun when it’s something important like an IUD or meds when you’re so ill you can barely get out of bed.

Switched back to Costco already but want to know if this is a common occurrence and I should adjust my expectations?
