In Episode 37 we tell about a letter of condemnation sent to Mayor Scott Gillingham, Premier Wab Kinew, all of city council and other public officials by a homeowner in North Point Douglas .He was trying to enjoy his Saturday morning coffee and read a book in his yard in peace. It was "abruptly shattered by agroup of unhoused individuals down on the riverbank - hooting, yelling, hurling expletives and epithets." Before long an ambulance and fire truck arrived- yet again- to the riverbank. Meanwhile the neighborhood homeless encampments were buzzing with illegal activity. “And so begins another typical day in North Point Douglas.”Part 1- To provide context to the letter from Howard Warren, we start with the list he attached of the awful incidents he's encountered in the last few years. The already-struggling neighborhood was failed by government policies and is now overrun with criminals and individuals with profound mental illness. Listen to his experience with robberies, break-ins, assaults, filth, fires, finding a dead body - and worst of all, his dealings with a dysfunctional 911 and police service.13.13 Part 2 - According to Mr. Warren, he previously "reached out in states of deep frustration over what's happening in North Point Douglas" to Mayor Gillingham, "but I did not even receive a basic acknowledgment. That silence is its own message. "Among the points he makes:"Despite years of visible decline, governments of all levels, parties, and ideologies have failed to act in any meaningful way. The very institutions that are supposed to safeguard public welfare and uphold the rule of law have left us feeling trapped and betrayed.""I represent a wide cross-section of Point Douglasresidents, and countless others across Winnipeg, when I say: we are desperate. For the past six years, we have felt abandoned. Unheard. Marginalized. Misunderstood.Demoralized.""We no longer consider inviting people over to sit in our yard. Why would we? There's every chance that the gathering will be disrupted, hijacked, really, by shouting, swearing, fighting, environmental destruction, fires or worse. That medley of chaos too often crashes through what should be moments of joy, peace and calm.""We're the ones who have nothing left to lose but our silence. And so, we fight, speak out, and use whatever means we can to shine a light on what's happening here; the injustice and indignity suffered by both the housed and unhoused. I say this with no exaggeration: we are in a crisis."22.40- "I have several questions for you, Mr. Mayor. Let me start with one I know you've heard before."We read off the questions Howard Warren posedfor Mayor Gillingham. He started with why St. Boniface Street Links was "cut off from municipal funding" in favour of Main Street Project. You'll hear his criticism of MSP's "human rights based" approach to the homeless, "a model which seems to entrench dysfunction, despair and social mayhem."Other Notable Quotes:- “Why are families like ours and our neighbours' expected to endure the daily trauma of watching people destroy themselves in front of our homes, in front of our children, asthe very systems that were meant to protect us slowly collapse around us?” - “The rights of one group should not eclipse the rights of another, especially not when those being drowned out are the very people trying to hold their communities together…we are being dismissed, neglected, and treated as expendable.” - “We need an end to policies that normalize decay, danger, and disorder. And we need city and provincial leadership to stop pretending this is okay. We need all of this now.”******Online today, in print tomorrow in the Winnipeg Sun - Restaurants pushed to the brink by theft, vandalism, City Works and City cops https://winnipegsun.com/opinion/gold-winnipeg-restaurants-battered-by-crime-costs-and-silence******* Support the Season Six funding campaign via https://actionline.ca/2024/02/donate-2/

After our report in the Winnipeg Sun revealed that certain voices in the poverty industry promote downplaying property and other offences committed by homeless lawbreakers, a listener raised an important question:"Is there any limit to what City Hall will tolerate as survivalcrimes? "In Part 1 of Episode 35 we explore his concern, about the lax attitude of local authorities to thieves stripping copper they steal and store in riverbank encampments:"Being a tradesperson, I was once warned that cyanide is released when the vinyl wire casing is burned... Never mind air quality warnings about northern forest fires, how about neighbourhoods being warned when thieving scum are burning off wire and creating smoke that is thousands of times more toxic than that of burning trees?"That's a "survival crime" that poisons riverbank communities- yet it's been tolerated. 12.35 Part 2- A letter sent this week to Mayor Gillingham and City Councillors provides evidence of the ground-floor effects of "survival crimes" being tolerated by Winnipeg civic leaders. "Not-for-profits are redefining criminal behavior in ways that downplay the break-ins, thefts, and violence ourcommunity experiences daily. This is not sustainable. We are creating a climate where the most vulnerable: seniors, children, people with disabilities, and those struggling with addiction are at constant risk."Sent by the housing chair of the Point Douglas Residents Committee, it poses troubling questions about how taxpayers in he neighborhood are treated like third-class citizens as drug-fueled mayhem stalks them daily."I am frustrated and disheartened by the disparity in attention and response Point Douglas receives in terms of basic city maintenance and bylaw enforcement."In one example, a problematic property on a short connecting sidestreet couldn't be found by bylaw officers walking right past it. It's the only lot on the street. Another example is how a graffiti complaint puts callers in the position of interpreting the markings, a job that should be done by paid staff."311 then asked if the graffiti is hateful or threatening. I am not an expert in graffiti or gang symbols. Is this the standard? That graffiti is only actionable if it is explicitly hateful? Graffiti of any kind should be considered a livability violation no matter the content. It lowers property values, invites crime, and reinforces the broken window theory that neglect fosters further decline. "The total ineptitude towards the embattled area puts both the head of the Bylaw Division, Winston Yee, and Police Chief Gene Bowers on the spot- and they were both questioned directly in the email. Will they respond?It all makes her wonder if there's a hidden agenda because "This level of discrepancy sends a clear message about which communities matter... the lack of basic care and enforcement in Point Douglas is so persistent that it feels intentional. "Marty Gold brings all the details, including actionable items presented by the PDRC (don't tell Dan Lett). Hear our additional insight into the encampment-driven crisis facing residents east of Main Street. Gillingham, city councillors like Vivian Santos, and health authorities are ignoring them - because acting on it hurts the "harm reduction" reputation of the government-funded experts enabling these "survival crimes".

In Episode 27 you'll hear the details of two late-week public affairs developments we've led the way on - the Winnipeg Metropolitan Region's failed attempt to strong-arm Rural Municipalities into supporting their power grab; andthe forbidden solution for bus driver safety.Part 1- The NDP passed Bill 4, which gives dissident members of the Winnipeg Metropolitan Region (WMR) – a way to exit the organization. It's now being more formally referred to as the Capital Planning Region (CPR) to try to get the public to forget it's led by the same elected politicians that mocked and insulted them for daring to have questions about their vaunted Plan20-50.By coincidence, Marty Gold returned to Niverville to host a sports event on Saturday and heard some reflections from locals on how Plan20-50, fell apart before a public hearing in their town even started. The WMR by-law would have given Mayor Scott Gillingham a veto over the development, planning, zoning and agricultural rules of all the other 17 municipalities.Outraged citizens complained about an incomplete and jargon-filled document many felt was ramming through a UN / 15 Minute Cities agenda with fake public consultations and a sleepy press keeping the public clued out- until Marty explained how Gillingham could stop it. And now, the first brick is about to fall from the WMR empire. Listen to the proposal being put before the City of Selkirk council to leave the Plan20-50 crowd and the reasons why. (Related- Oct 7 2024- Browaty Says Plan20-50 Problems Started With Pallister )We describe how Wab Kinew's “Freedom Bill” has a few tricky procedural hoops, and some unfinished business between Selkirk and the WMR.15.00- “Et Tu, Winnipeg?” We explain why Mayor Gillingham and City Councillors are going to have to hold a very public discussion about the WMR before the next municipal election. That means tell taxpayers where they stand, and listen to the people about whether or not elected politicians wanting to be “just like the GVRD” and become centralized planning overlords is in the best interest of Winnipeggers.******* We continue to reveal key details behind the headlines with sharp insightful reporting - please chip in to the Season Six $10,000 funding campaign at https://actionline.ca/2024/02/donate-2/ ********24.30 PART 2 – The city has $2.7 million to spend to develop, produce and install full barriers to shield transit operators from ever-increasing violence.You'll hear Marty describe what that can be like- because he went through it in the late 1980's as a driver representative when cabbie murders spurred a Manitoba Workplace Safetycommittee led by Prof. Wally Fox-Decent to explore taxicab shields.“It's a crazy world out there and … this council is focussing heavily on improving transit, and we want our drivers tobe safe,” Coun. Janice Lukes said. As chair of Public Works, Lukes all-in on bus driver safety- but silent about protecting bus riders. 32.35- Unspoken by Lukes or even the ATU local 1505, is theacknowledged reason behind 90% of Transit incidents. But just like lawbreakers who panhandle on roadways and panhandle at night, violence-minded fare skippers also don't face the music. 35.40- What is the “fare evasion prevention strategy”?

Episode 23 revisits a serious issue plaguing Winnipeg for years- discarded used needles strewn all over parks and public walkways. In Part 1 we explain how the surge started around 2018, after "harm reduction" advocates and unaccountable WRHA officials were allowed to discontinue needle return targets from their massive free needle giveaways. Through their agents in the health care field the WRHA have handed out millions of needles since, yet refuse to provide data on how many they claim they've been picking up.Our analysis of this week's report about a city pick-up program shows 50% of the dirty rigs were within walking distance of the Legislature. This seems to prove the supposed need for a drug user site is outside Premier Wab Kinew's office, and not in Point Douglas. You'll hear an explanation why Mayor Gillingham's statement to the media on the issue lacks credibility: “If there is any agency that is distributing needles… I think it's up to those agencies also to be part of the solution in getting those needles back, rather than having needles just go out, be used and end up in a park where children play… This is about the health and safety of the public.”City Councillors- including Gillingham - knew years ago what steps could be taken to mitigate the problem, including requiring needle return rates and colour coded needles to trace which agency was giving them out. Instead of taking responsibility when we reported on these facts in 2019, Coun. Cindy Gilroy now has to plead for priority clean-ups of inner-city parks, taking tax dollars away from other programs. This crisis is a Brian Bowman legacy- he pressured police to coddle criminals and addicts who learned there was no consequence to their endangering the health of children and the safety of the community. As Bowman's right hand man on Council then, Gillingham cannot distance himself now from his refusal to take action and allowing the risk of "harm reduction" programs to be offloaded unto children and other park users. 18.50 Part 2 - The latest columns in the Winnipeg Sun by Marty Gold on the Rezoning Open Houses and Parking Authority towing fiasco get a quick recap, plus a look at what's coming up in the Sun and on the podcasts- including West End businesses fighting crime, questions about this year's Pride parade on June 1, and an interview with North Kildonan councillor Jeff Browaty.*******The funding campaign for Season Six has broken the $1000 barrier- and if you like the breaking news and analysis we produce, it's made possible by YOUR contributions!Our $10,000 budget is set to cover online hosting and production costs, transportation and research expenses, and make sure the office lights stay on so we can continue to upholdthe tradition of investigative journalism in Winnipeg!To Donate via PayPal- paypal.com/paypalme/MartyGoldMediaTo Donate via E-Transfer, or to support by cheque, cash, advertising or other means - martygoldlive@gmail.com
