Just curious.....

Do you think those who won't wear a mask wear condoms? 

If we saw someone riding a motorcycle with out a helmet, how would we react?  I don't know.  It has been so long since I've seen that happen.  I don't know for sure but I think there would be severe fines if anyone did that.  Wearing a helmet is primarily about safety but it is also economic and preventing high costs of healthcare and social services caring for someone who had an accident without a helmet. 

At the Sturgis rally, there wasn't the great attendance that they thought would occur, but it still was well attended.  The coverage I saw had everyone wearing helmets while on the bikes.  Off the bikes, I didn't see any masks.  I am wondering why the rally was only covered for a couple of days and then the media moved on. 

.At the beginning of the State of Emergency, I never missed a press conference giving the Covid19 update of new cases and new directives.  By Easter, it looked like we had this under control.  Dr. Roussin took off Easter Sunday.  Then, we had the wonderful 13 days with no new cases, and I was wondering what time the press conference was happening to announce no new cases. 

And, then a new case, and now quite a few.  I know that when it looked like we had eliminated the virus in our province, I might have gotten a little loose with my precautions.  I think many of us did.  I think we all had a little pandemic fatigue.  We just wanted our lives back.  Going where we wanted to whenever we wanted to. But, I guess the reality is that there will be a new normal and we will never go back to what we had.  It is hard to let that sink, but we are going to have to. 

And now, it is Sunday, and my day is planned around the daily update.  This is my new normal.

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...
