Video interview with Dipper Dummy and mayoral candidate Wasylycia-Leis....and by the sounds of it a victim of dementia.

Holy fuck this is scary. This brain dead broad could actually become mayor. Guard your pocketbooks around these assholes.

Re-prioritisation of our priorities.

[Delwin]

Wow, looks like she is way out in front:

$1:

The Manitoba Forward-United Fire Fighters of Winnipeg 2014 Winnipeg Mayoral Survey, which was conducted by Probe Research Inc., shows that Ms. Wasylycia-Leis has the support of nearly four-in-ten (39%) decided voters.

In another survey:

CTV Winnipeg Web Poll - Aug. 22, 2014
Do you think the second phase of bus rapid transit in Winnipeg should be scrapped?
Yes 1482 (67 %)
No 737 (33 %)
http://winnipeg.ctvnews.ca/poll-results

So she is leading despite her pledge to continue with the second phase of the transit plan.

I guess the transit plan is just not an issue to Winnipeg.

In an unrelated survey:

CTV Winnipeg Web Poll - Aug. 15, 2014

Have you ever seen a UFO?

Yes 549 (27 %)
No 1467 (73 %)

I have been reading up on the Winnipeg election and I had no idea how juicy it was, it also explains the lead of Wasylycia-leis.

The number 2 Conservative contender Gord Steeves' wife recently had this facebook post surface from 2010, revealing her racist attitude and many believe this is why he is polling so bad:

$1:

"Lorrie Steeves is really tired of getting harrassed (sic) by the drunken native guys in the skywalks. we need to get these people educated so they can go make their own damn money instead of hanging out and harrassing (sic) the honest people who are grinding away working hard for their money. We all donate enough money to the government to keep thier (sic) sorry assess (sic) on welfare, so shut the f**k up and don't ask me for another handout!"

Do you think the Facebook post made by mayoral candidate Gord Steeves’ wife will hurt his campaign?
Yes 719 (47 %)
No 824 (53 %)

The mayor only gets one vote and doesn't have nearly the power that a premier or PM does.

As long as she doesn't have a slate of like-minded councillors running as well, you and the rest of Winnipeg should be relatively safe.

Makes me wonder. I received a notice from the City.

$1:

- turf on or some of the private yards of teh property exceeds 15cm (6inches)

- Weeds on the property have been observed and need to be controlled.

My neighbour has weeds in her side yard. They're chest high. Between her house and my fence. They are beginning to spread into my yard. I haven't bugged my neighbour, because I actually understand the concept of private property and property rights. I've manicured my front lawn as a courtesy to my neighbours, not due to any ordinance, but haven't mowed my back yard as often. There is no pile of dirt anywhere in my yard; so I'm not sure what they mean by "turf". I have an apple tree, the apples are falling. Can't use the push mower while apples are in the way. And my back fence on the other side is damaged, needs repair. Technically it belongs to my neighbour, but I believe a fence is shared responsibility. I purchased a couple new fence posts and acquired some fence boards from a friend. My neighbour claims her son-in-law will do the work, but I'm waiting for that to happen. So what's with this demand from the city? It isn't from either neighbour; I asked them. My neighbour with the fence hadn't mowed her front lawn recently, she said it isn't working so hoped to borrow one. So I used my push mower to mow both our front lawns.

My back yard is behind a 6-food fence, and tiny side yard is separated by an arch attached to the house with a steel gate. The one foot strip of grass in my side yard, and my back yard haven't been manicured quite so well, but that's private. Entering that without my permission constitutes "Petty Trespass" as defined by provincial law.

WTF? I sent an email to my city councillor, but got some excuse justifying the bureaucracy.

The reason I post in this thread, is I got the notice the same time as a campaign brochure. In fact, Judy's campaign literature was tucked inside the city notice. This can't be a coincidence. Threatening voters is no way to win votes. What's up with that?

Wow what a racist rant. I mean everyone knows Winnipeg's native population isn't hanging around the skywalks, they're working the malls and are actively involved in keeping the potted plants fertilized.

Have you ever seen a UFO?

That should be near to 100%. Given that if you have ever seen something flying and didn't know what it was it's a UFO.

See a plane flying overhead? What kind of plane is it, don't know? Then it's a UFO.
