The City of Winnipeg and its largest union say they're willing to work out a deal to broaden the definition of an essential city worker — and in effect, determine who won't have the right to strike.
On Tuesday, city council's executive policy committee voted unanimously to put off a plan to ask the provincial government to legislate a broader definition of an essential municipal worker.
Right now, only Winnipeg police, paramedics and firefighters are considered essential and do not have the right to strike.

actually the city of all time i would love to visit is hong kong. i watched richard e grant’s hotel secrets many a times with my face pressed to the tv shaking like a leaf
On a funnier note I was at work when I got the notification that Tyler Toffoli was being traded to Winnipeg and I made a face that caused the guy who sits opposite me to physically recoil
There was a Fox at The Forks the other day I forgot about. No one seemed to notice him which is strange because this was the first time I saw one here. Poor guy looks hungry 🫤
Content notes: Depictions of eating disorders. (In particular, EDNOS which includes purging.) Also includes nonbinary Light, Canada, brief allusions to Beyond studying mycology, and craft beer.
College AU. Beyond prefers to think of L, the beloved and unofficial head of their university’s queer centre, as untouchable and invincible but he is, of course, just a regular human being with regular human problems. When L has a really, really bad time at a holiday party, Light and Beyond do their best to help. Alternatively: Hurt/comfort in which everyone is really, really nice to L for a while.
L had called Beyond at one-thirty in the morning. Beyond, who had been working on a paper about mushrooms, picked up immediately. He didn’t have to check the name — he’d given L a special ringtone weeks ago.
“Hi,” he’d said, aware that he sounded a little breathless. He was always a little too eager with L. Most people found this off-putting, but neither L nor his partner ever seemed to mind. Beyond had met the two of them them through their university’s queer centre, and no one had ever been half as nice to him as they were.
“Hi,” L had sounded very distracted. He must have been on speakerphone, because the sound was very tinny and he could hear someone moving around in the background. Presumably it was Light. It sounded like xie was moving furniture, which Beyond was sure their neighbours appreciated at this particular time of night. “Listen. There’s a party tomorrow. For the holidays. At Kiyomi’s. Do you know Kiyomi?”
“No.”
“Oh. Well, anyway. You’ll love her. She’s very tall. Light and I wanted to make sure you knew you were invited.”
This didn’t sound quite right. He couldn’t imagine why Kiyomi would invite someone she’d never met. “Am I invited?”
I walked all over my neighborhood and the downtown area of Winnipeg to capture shapes in the city landscape that make the shapes of letters. I captured the entire alphabet and then I also had to take photos of extra letters to make my name.
saw a coyote last night, which was very unusual because i live in the centre of my city, and i was stupidly whistling to it because i still wasnt entirely sure it wasnt someones lost uhhhhhh wild looking dog, and it actually started to come towards me before i started running lmfao
Instructor (American) tried to remember where I said I was located ("Winnipeg?") And I'm like similar but no I'm in Edmonton :) and he was like "is that... south of Winnipeg?" And I took no small amount of glee informing him that not only were we absolutely Not south of Winnipeg but we are the furthest north of all the 1,000,000+ metro areas on the continent because I have zero patience for trying to be self deprecating about no one knowing where or what Edmonton is :)
