Big Bunny Is Watching

What are our political leaders doing over the weekend?  Today is a day of reflection.  When I was growing up, even though it was a holiday, it seemed eerily similar to what today will be.  We stayed home and had a very simple and frugal meal.  We didn't talk to others because it was a day of reflection on the sacrifices that were made on our behalf and to move forward with more of a sense of duty to live the best life we can. 

I can imagine for our leaders that they have been reflecting a great deal so today will be mostly restorative sleep.  Perhaps the only politician who will be reflecting will be Andrew Scheer.  He will be trying to imagine what his life will look like after politics given that he has never had an actual job. Regardless, today will be quiet. 

The government has been giving Canadians a great deal of aid. It hasn't been overtly stated, but, the tone is changing a little.  We are now being led it is up to it is not to count what Canada can do for you it is now what you can do for Canada.  It is now our part to maintain social distancing recommendations. 

We all know that this will be a big family weekend.  He is risen.  We have been told that the Easter Bunny has been sanctioned as an essential service.  Our children need something to reward them for their service. 

However, this weekend will also be the big test.  Essentially, after some initial rest, everyone will be watching. Our political leaders especially will be watching how we follow social distancing and staying at home as much as possible. Our leaders are looking for guidance as they try to decide what is best for our country and if it is necessary to further lock down our movements.  This weekend will be crucial in deciding what happens next.  They have even given us fair warning that people will be watching and handing out fines for violations.  They really don't want for there to be violations. 

Be smart and continue to listen to the advice of public health and go home and stay home. 

Big Bunny will be watching.

One of my saddest days in Winnipeg

Image
I felt compelled to attend an information meeting of the Bruce Oake Recovery Centre.  Compelled because it will be, not in my neighbourhood, but in my City Ward.  Compelled after reading Bruce's story and his family's wish to make this recovery centre his legacy.  Compelled because of the opposition to this centre.  I wanted my voice to be a positive one. Since the land has already been rezoned, the BORC is going to happen and the meeting was to update the community on progress and get input on a few minor details.   I didn't realize that it would be one of the saddest days I have experienced in Winnipeg.   When I arrived, I experienced the "white people". They were people dressed in white who were there to oppose the Centre.  In order to get in to the community centre, I had to pass two "white people" who were at the door with placards in opposition.  It was intimidating.  They didn't deter anyone from entering but th...

There's Something from Jenny - Part 2

I am trying to evolve as a blogger.  One of my friends told me that I needed to start adding my pictures to my blog so that people would know who they are communicating with.  So, good, bad, or ugly, I am adding my picture as much as I can.  It makes me feel vulnerable.  Not as vulnerable as I would feel if I was running for Mayor of a major Canadian city. I can't imagine how vulnerable I would feel, having every move and every word analyzed and taken out of context.  Perspective always defines your reality.  For example, I could tell you that I witnessed a murder by the Superstore last week.  That might bring up some powerful images in your mind.  Then, there would be those who know that a group of crows is called a murder.  That gives my previous statement have a whole different image in your mind.  So, when I spent an hour with Jenny Motkaluk that was my biggest impression.  She doesn't mind being vulnerable.  She just w...

Seriously? Opposition to BORC opening at old Vimy Arena Site

Image
I decided to go for a walk today.  It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon.  My quest was to understand the home owner's opposition to having the closed arena site being converted to a much needed addiction treatment facility.  I took some pictures on my phone and want to explain what I found out.  The first picture was taken while I was standing on the immense green space at the back of the old Vimy Arena.  You can see in the background what is the closest residential development.  It is a town house complex.  In order for someone who was participating in treatment at BORC to interact with someone living in the complex, they would have to walk and then cross a creek, and then get through the trees.  I would think the residents living in that complex would be more worried about the drainage pipe that leads on the creek.  I would be concerned about a wandering child being trapped in there.  The second pic...
