I was wondering how long it took to get these in the mail.. can anybody chime in? It was decently small and in the dark, not sure if that makes a difference or not.

I know there was a rumor kicking around a couple months ago but phantom amusment may have just confirmed a reopening on instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/DehjaqbGxrY/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&mdxt=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==&srtk=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

for what its worth, I biked by it on St Matthews yesterday and thought it smelled like hops...

My family and I are trying to have a yard sale, but I’m confused about where I can put up signs. I see the city by-laws about “temporary advertising signs” and the strict rules around placement. Does this apply to regular people hosting a yard/garage sale, or only for companies that are advertising their goods/services? I’ve seen some yard sale signs taped to a stop sign or street sign, but I don’t want someone from the city walking up and handing me a citation if I do that, too.

What do y’all do? I figured I’d check here because Google tells me what the city says, but I know Reddit will tell me what the people say.

CBS has this new comedy where a guy finds out his girlfriend is part of a coven of vampires. At end of the first episode, he's injured and the only way to save him is to turn him into a vampire as well.

The second one, which aired last night, shows him not handling the change very well and her "father" decides to send him off to the "Winnipeg" coven, which nobody wants, until the girlfriend threatens to go with him.

It's not really flattering (as memorable as the "Simpsons" ones), but it is what it is. Personally, I prefer the show it's temporarily replacing ("Ghosts"), but it might grow on me. Did anyone else see it?

I moved from dubai to Winnipeg this summer, I never drove in snow or even in less than 10 C weather. So I needed advice on winter driving. I recently bought an used Hyundai Elantra GT 2016

1. Winter tires - I already have winter tires on saperate rims. When would you suggest I get them installed, I'm planning Oct 30, would that be too late/too early? Recommend any budget tire shop/mechanic to swap along with alignment and oil change?

2. Block heater - I dont know when is it ideal to use that. Also I read online I need to plug in before 2-3 hours of driving but I leave around 7 and I dont really want to wake up 4 or 5 AM just to plug in, can i leave it plugged in overnight?

3. Ice scrapers vs Snow covers and any other general tips to quickly remove fog, snow or ice from windshield and side windows in early morning. I have never even used defogger or defroster, I dont know how they work.

4. I'm kind of scared of slippery roads, I fear I would crash on slippery roads - any general tips to be safe, like ideal speed? the car also has traction control, IDK how much that will help.

Anything else that you wish you knew sooner

So, my son really wants to get a droid from the droid depot at Disney in Florida. It would be part of his Christmas present this year but I’m just wondering if anyone here has or knows anyone that has done this and… how the heck they got it home?

Like I’m sure I could pay for a carry-on and that just be my son’s carry-on? And I know that you can ship it right from Disney, but I don’t know if that’s US only, and I have no idea how much it would cost to ship to Winnipeg. Has anyone done this?

Any advice appreciated! And feel free to let me know any Disney/universal trips or recs as well!

Hi everyone! I’m looking for winter tires for my 2026 Hyundai Kona Preferred and hoping to use the MPI Winter Tire Program to help cover the cost.
I live in an apartment, so I’ll also need a shop that offers tire storage. I’m looking for reasonably priced tires that perform well in Winnipeg winters, along with good customer service.
If anyone has recommendations for a good tire shop, specific winter tires, or places that offer reasonable storage rates, I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences.
Cheers!

Hi guys
I checked my Nb’s birth certificate order this morning and it says to contact vital statistics office. I’ll call them on Monday and have sent them an email. Anyone have an idea on why they need me to?
Its been about 4 weeks since the DOB.

It was.. confusing, frustrating, and completely uninformative. So basically completely on brand.

WSO's 60 Years of Star Trek & Beyond: A wonderful performance, but a disappointing celebration. Did anyone else feel this way?

I attended the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra's 60 Years of Star Trek & Beyond concert on Thursday evening with my brother, who is a huge Star Trek fan and was genuinely excited about the show. I was looking forward to it myself. After all, we're talking about 60 years of Star Trek, with an extraordinary musical legacy spanning television and film.

I walked away with some very mixed feelings, and unfortunately, more disappointment than I expected.

First, the positives, because there were certainly some wonderful moments.

John de Lancie was an absolute delight. His return as Q, his timing, banter, and interactions with the audience were easily among the highlights of the evening. He brought the wit, charm, and mischievousness you'd expect from the character, and in many ways, I felt he saved the night.

The WSO musicians and conductor were also fantastic. When they performed the familiar Star Trek scores, they were magnificent. From the iconic fight music of the original series to the sweeping cinematic themes of the films, these were the moments I had hoped to experience. Hearing that music performed live by such talented musicians was genuinely special.

For a while, the concert seemed to be delivering exactly what we'd come for.

Then came the second half.

Composer Nick DiBerardino contributed new works inspired by Star Trek episodes and themes. Now, I have no objection to original compositions or to taking creative risks. Star Trek itself has always been about exploration, challenging expectations, and trying something different.

The first piece, inspired by Tapestry from The Next Generation, was certainly different. I thought it dragged a little, but it still felt reasonably connected to the evening and the ideas being explored. The mariachi homage to Q was particularly hilarious and a welcome bit of levity.

There were also some political jabs throughout the evening. I expected a certain amount of that, given Star Trek's history of social commentary, and normally it wouldn't bother me. However, some of the humour felt unnecessarily partisan and a little out of place, particularly during an evening encouraging us to embrace different perspectives and ideals. That message felt somewhat undermined by the delivery.

But my biggest disappointment came with DiBerardino's piece inspired by Darmok and Jalad.

This, for me, was where the concert lost its momentum, and seemingly a good portion of the audience.

The composition seemed to go on endlessly, with a repetitive xylophone sequence that just kept returning, again and again. At one point, my brother leaned over and whispered that it sounded like a CD skipping.

I couldn't help but agree.

Perhaps I'm simply not sophisticated enough to appreciate what the composer was attempting. I'm perfectly willing to concede that there may have been layers of musical meaning or artistic intention that escaped me.

But as an audience member, I found it excruciating.

It went on far too long. I could sense restlessness in the room, although obviously I can't speak for everyone. Personally, I reached a point where I was no longer interested in what the piece was trying to communicate. I just wanted it to end.

And, frankly, I became increasingly frustrated that so much of the concert was being devoted to this composition instead of the extraordinary catalogue of Star Trek music that brought many of us there in the first place.

None of this is a criticism of the musicians, particularly the percussionists, who performed admirably. They deserve recognition for their skill and dedication. My issue is entirely with the composition itself and the decision to give it such a prominent place in the program.

At its worst, it felt less like a celebration of Star Trek's musical history and more like an opportunity for a composer to showcase his own work.

I subsequently came across a comment John de Lancie made in a radio interview before the concert:

"A Star Trek audience is a really educated audience and they're willing to go places."

I understand the sentiment, and to a degree, I agree with it. Star Trek audiences are generally open-minded, curious, and willing to engage with challenging ideas. That's part of what makes the franchise special.

But I fundamentally disagree with the suggestion that being an educated or open-minded audience means we should automatically appreciate every artistic departure presented to us.

There's a difference between being willing to explore something new and enjoying where that exploration takes you.

And there's also a difference between challenging an audience and losing sight of why that audience came in the first place.

This was billed as a celebration of 60 years of Star Trek. That's six decades of remarkable music, from Alexander Courage and Jerry Goldsmith to James Horner, Leonard Rosenman, Dennis McCarthy, and so many others.

There was an enormous musical legacy to draw upon, much of which we barely touched.

Instead, a substantial portion of the evening was devoted to new compositions that, at least for me, didn't come close to capturing the emotional impact of the originals.

Yes, the concert's promotional material mentioned new music, and I certainly didn't expect two hours of familiar themes played note for note. Some experimentation was welcome. But I did expect the balance to favour the music that made Star Trek so memorable over those 60 years.

Following the lengthy Darmok and Jalad piece, we finally returned to a couple of recognizable Star Trek selections. They were wonderful, but almost as quickly as we'd returned to familiar territory, the concert was over.

It left me wishing we'd heard so much more.

And perhaps what disappointed me most was looking over at my brother, knowing how much he'd been anticipating this evening. I wanted it to be something truly memorable for him, a celebration of the franchise he loves.

Instead, I felt we'd attended something that was as much a composer's personal passion project as it was a tribute to Star Trek.

That's unfortunate because when the WSO actually played Star Trek, they were absolutely brilliant. I would gladly have listened to another hour of those scores. The orchestra clearly had the talent to make this an unforgettable evening.

I don't regret going, and I certainly appreciate the hard work and artistry involved. But I left feeling that an opportunity had been missed.

Maybe I'm in the minority. Perhaps others found the new compositions moving or thought the overall program struck exactly the right balance.

I'd genuinely like to hear from other people who attended.

Did you enjoy the direction the concert took, particularly in the second half? Or did you, like me, find yourself wishing we'd spent more time celebrating the incredible music Star Trek has given us over the past 60 years?

Looking for any dashcam footage or leads of a hit-and-run that happened yesterday (Thursday, October 15) approximately front of the fire station on Watt Street as you turn right onto Nairn Avenue. I was in a silver dodge caravan, and another lady in a red minivan toyota sienna changed lanes into the right lane and hit my van slightly. If anyone was in the rightmost turning lane or driving by the fire station around 3:05-3:10 pm and saw it or has footage, please send me a message. Thank you 😊

I've been curious about moka pot coffee and would like to taste one before getting one to try myself, a) to see if I will like it before I buy, and b) get a baseline for what good tastes like if I do get one haha. Thx!

Looking for recommendations for repairing an old boiler, whether a company or an individual. Specifically for an old one! Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know where to buy refrigerated Nathan’s brand hotdog weiners in the city? I would love to hear if anyone has been able to find them.

I’ve tried the Schnieders Juicy Jumbos but they aren’t the same. Having a hard time finding a good hotdog to use.

Looking for a membership to a nice indoor basketball court where I can go shoot some hoops or even play pick up games. Budget is not an issue, should be close to downtown.

I'm moving to Winnipeg for work downtown and considering Holiday Towers and 120 Donald Street.

Holiday Towers seems to have a pretty bad reputation online, but most posts are several years old. Have things improved? Has the flooding damage been repaired? Any differences between the North and South towers?

120 Donald looks promising, but I haven't found much feedback about it.

My main concerns are safety, security, and problematic neighbours. Noise doesn't particularly bother me, but I'd like to avoid buildings with frequent disturbances, theft, or other ongoing issues.

Any recent experiences with either building, or recommendations for similar downtown apartments, would be appreciated! I'm also happy to hear about any other buildings or neighbourhoods you think I should consider.

Hi y'all~

Who here has or is renting from Lakewood Agencies? How would you say they are?

In my personal experience dealing with them since July officially, as of now, I find it very all over the place.

I moved back into a place that I moved out of last year and when I lived there in 2024-2025, the washer never fully drained, so clothes were always sopping wet at the bottom of the barrel and the dryer takes like 3-5 dry cycles on average sized loads due to the washer not draining properly. Neither the washer or dryer has been fixed or even looked at until I recently hassled them since I moved back in July of 2026.

When I go in office, it seems like there papers are all over the place and because they don't know where the documents are, I had to take more time off work to go back.

As of now, those are my only complaints but it's taken me months to get the washer even looked at, and finally they replaced the moldy ceiling in the bathroom after again, months since July 2026

Has anyone else experienced delays when dealing with them?

My current worry is that they're going to try and get me to pay out of pocket to replace the washer and dryer.

Thank you~

I recently had surgery and the staff were amazing. I want to bring them a basket of goodies. I'm hoping this is something they're allowed to accept.

Is there usually 2 or 3 shifts? I was there for 24 hours so I want to make sure everyone gets something.

These are the things I'm thinking to add so far.

- 24 hair claw clips (I saw a lot of the staff wearing them)

- 24 mini fragrance free bottles of lotion

- 24 unscented chap sticks

- mini bags of packaged snacks like Pringles, Ritz crackers, chips

-mints, gum

I'm wanting to add beverages but I'm not sure what so ideas for that would be great. Are my items so far a good idea? Any other suggestions?

How does Shawn Dobson have so much support? I’ve never talked to anyone who is happy with him and it doesn’t seem like he does anything as councillor but I see a bunch of his signs all over. It was the same thing last election and he won without doing anything. People of St. James, can we please not be so apathetic that we end up with a lame duck again? Please

Anyone know of Food Hampers resources that do not need a MB health card? Currently waiting for mine in the mail...
