Episode 33 features an interview where we learn a little more why Winnipeg Transit can't solve the violence and disorder plaguing routes, and how City Council and the police are responsible to solve the problem. Part 1- What happened at the Public Hearing on Tuesday? Marty Gold touches briefly on what he told City Council about opening up 'Malls and Corridors' for residential housing buiilds - and what it took to even get registered to speak- in the first segment and in his Sun column today: City Hall Roadblocks Discourage Public Participation At Marathon Meeting . 4.00- A Transit supervisor barely escaped an attack with an improvised 'flamethrower' at Graham and Fort on Friday. The perp had been sleeping on the bus for a couple of hours until being roused that morning. Combined with the assault and robbery of a 21 year old girl getting off a bus in Windsor Park, there's no question that even being near Transit is a dangerous proposition- and that undermines the concept that new tenants on Malls and Corridors will risk taking a bus. (Editor's note- as this episode was in post-production yet another incident involving a machete-wielding man in a bus shelter and police occured at Unicity plaza.) 14.20 Part 2- Once upon a time, before his outsider run for Mayor, Don Woodstock worked as a Transit driver. Earlier in November, he spoke with TGCTS about ways to improve overall bus safety and efficiency. - "Management has no interest or desire to make sure they have a workforce like it was 20 years ago" - "If you can't keep your staff, that's an indication that something is wrong." To send story tips & comments, or to contribute support to Season 5 costs via E-Transfer - Email martygoldlive@gmail.com - Even if MPI doesn't find an Operator at fault for an accident, Transit management can disregard it and penalize an employee. - Don explains the 'white card' system that blames drivers for almost anything. - If new police hires replace the role of Supervisors in incident responses, those supervisors can put on their blue shirt and get back behind the wheel. "We have a system bloated in bureaucracy." 27.20 - "Let us put plainclothes officers in the bus in designated routes that we know we have problems." - "The police top brass need to find away to interject the junior officers, supervisors ultimately stiil have to call police anyway." 31.00 - "They have done nothing to assure the general public they are going to be safe." 35.15 Part 3 - A Rally for Public Safety is being hosted by ATU from 10.30 to Noon on Tuesday at City Hall, 510 Main Street. "We want to encourage riders who have felt unsafe to participate at the rally." Marty will be covering the rally for the Sun. - A preview of upcoming topics heading into the New Year, including Manitoba Hydro wind farms, city hall 'integrity', and more in-depth interviews!

Episode 32 begins with a recap of Marty Gold's latest reports and columns in the Winnipeg Sun, and the reaction to our most recent podcasts about City Hall. He also previews his upcoming Sunday column about appearing at the Council public hearing this week regarding amendments to zoning bylaws to allow for new HAF-funded housing at malls and along commercial streets. You'll hear how the entire process and the public hearing itself didn't serve the public good. * To send story tips & comments, or to send support to Season 5 costs by E-Transfer- Email martygoldlive@gmail.com 17.00- Part 2- There are 40 agencies involved in the city plan to deal with homelessness and demands for shelter spaces. While some, like St. Boniface Street Links, are taking down illegal camps and getting affected occupants into social service programs, Main Street Project - and official City policy- persists in placing the "human rights" of those campers over the rights of the taxpayers whose lives and safety are upended by the criminals. 26.00 - MSP opposes relocating encampments from river banks to safer spaces inland. Yet the organization takes tax funding from those same residents pleading for relief. Some of those residents told the media this week they don't want to be identified for fear of retaliation. Even Premier Wab Kinew isn't down with the MSP approach. “As a society, we do not accept when people are not of sound mind that we allow them to continue suffering.” Is it time to defund groups like MSP that enable criminals to disrupt the peace and threaten those who blow the whistle? And is it time for Wab Kinew to offer up some Crown Land the homeless encampments can move to? And who is responsible for refugees being among the homeless? You'll hear some surprising statistics about emergency service trips to illegal camps- we await a price tag for those visits.

Instead he was viciously beaten by a youth mob and stabbed to death by the then-14 year old ringleader. That punk proceeded to assault 3 of his accomplices. Manslaughter, robbery, weapons charges (brass knuckles!) - and he got 3 years in closed custody. What did he learn from this? What he can get away with if his lawyer plays the 'bad upbringing card. Who should have been wondering "it's 2 AM on Remembrance Day, where's junior?" We ask- what are the repercussions for the parents, social workers, and Nahanni Fontaine's provincial Families Department? 49.45- Another day, another lawsuit against the City of Winnipeg. We go over the details of the claim made by a Nova Scotia company who were turfed from working on the North End Sewage Plant. The way they tell it, it smells like city honchos are covering up for their own bumbling - again. ****** Latest Sun Columns and Stories: City's Push For Housing Steamrolls Over Residents Mayes wants St. Vital residents ready for fight over new fourplex zoning rules COMING UP- More on bus safety; An update on antisemitism in Winnipeg; Dark days for Manitoba Hydro; more interviews! ******* * THANK YOU FOR LISTENING *

To open Episode 6 - a recap of the Canada Day weekend road trips to Vita and CFB Shilo, more about Marty's column exposing antisemitism at the Pride parade, and a peek at Marty's upcoming Winnipeg Sun column with St. Boniface residents battling to save Happyland Pool. 10.38 Part 2 - If there's one thing we've got a nose for, it's news about Manitoba Hydro. Going back to our exclusive KICK-FM interview with 'Miss Whistle'- our listeners have heard important explanations about what the Crown Corporation's numbers have really meant. As you'll hear, going back to 2015 it was apparent that the poor decisions of the Doer/Selinger NDP era has saddled Manitoba Hydro with an unmanageable debt/equity ratio and almost a Billion going to interest payments and not to power infrastructure, repair and upgrades. Now, brownouts and blackouts that used to be rare, are a regular occurrence because of system failures, Hydro admits, in a report with the bleak financial forecast. Riding his wave of popularity, Wab Kinew assures the media, wind farms will save the day. And he's saying No, No, No to Nuclear power - despite it being good enough for our neighbouring provinces. FOR LINKS TO POPULAR EPISODES, AND TO DONATE VIA PAYPAL - ⁠CLICK HERE 18.00 - We ask a few questions MSM didn't - how much power comes from wind farms already? How much does it costs? Aren't wind farm operations subsidized by the government already? How will this make, and not lose, money? You'll hear a review of how Hydro's financial plan in the past included subsidizing power for Minnesota users- and how Kinew's plan will more than double the current Hydro debt- which is guaranteed by the Province. 20.52 - Kinew's backslide on Hydro- he originally promised to freeze rates - hasn't hurt his honeymoon with voters. Until now. "A pretty good road map" for him is emulating a Quebec plan. Listen to the math behind how much power Manitoba Hydro needs to build- and based on the Quebec model, a good guess at the astronomical cost. We also touch on other elements at play that MSM ignores- including construction inflation, eco-credits, the utter lack of residential charging capacity in Winnipeg, and the 'Net-Zero' ideology. And then there's the unions. The sound of the bottom line is truly jarring- and could disable the economy and bankrupt Manitoba Hydro. Marty asks, what happens when Hydro goes broke. Will Wab be telling you to turn out the lights? ********** Send your comments, news tips, sponsor inquiries or - an E-Transfer donation to support the Season 5 Funding campaign!

Omena Babalola is an accomplished 55-year old masters sprinter from Winnipeg MB and an absolute force to be reckoned with. Born in Nigeria to two high achieving parents, Omena came to Canada in her early 20s and spent time on Prince Edward Island before completing her MBA at St. Mary's University in Halifax and following her man to Winnipeg. Omena currently works as a Professional Auditor at Manitoba Hydro and is the Vice President of Athletics Manitoba.As for her start in athletics, Omena describes what it was like to “be so slow when her mom was so fast.” Despite coming dead last in her first foot race, Omena stuck with sprinting and chose to focus most of her energy on things that would give her the biggest return on investment. It turns out this is a valuable life skill off the track as well. After taking some time off while having her twins in 1997, Omena was re-inspired in her late 30's by Saskatchewan-based sprinting legend Carol LaFayette-Boyd, who is over 25 years her senior. Carol gave Omena some positive words of encouragement about her potential, she decided to re-engage with competition and, as they say, the rest is history.Omena still holds numerous university and provincial sprinting records and has medaled on national and international stages in the 200m as well as the 4x100m relay. In 2023, Omena was awarded female masters Athlete of the Year by Athletics Manitoba.Connect with Omena:Instagram: @omenab7828Facebook: @omena.babsConnect with Carolyn & Kim:Email us with guest ideas: inspiredsolescast@gmail.comInspired Soles InstagramKim's InstagramKim's FacebookCarolyn's InstagramCarolyn's FacebookCarolyn's websiteWe love hearing from you!

Ron Marshall is the founder of Marshall Compressed Air Consulting, a compressed air energy efficiency consulting firm, where he provides technical advice, system auditing, and training. He first developed his skills as an industrial compressed air systems expert at Manitoba Hydro, where he worked for 38 years, supporting more than 600 energy efficiency projects. Ron is a level 2 instructor with Compressed Air Challenge and conducts training internationally. Ron recently spoke with Plant Services editor in chief Thomas Wilk about his most recent cover story, "8 ways to justify upgrades to your compressed air system," as well as how to persuade teams to invest in the compressed air equipment they need.

Almost simultaneously this weekend, Facebook groups from 2 neighborhoods voiced the same concern- "No Street Lights" In River Heights and St. Boniface residents started piecing together what they- and Marty Gold- have noticed for weeks and months. Episode 25 compiles those observations into an undeniable conclusion: Manitoba Hydro is failing to provide an essential safety service, and City Councilors who mouth platitudes about "public safety" aren't standing up to be counted. From Grant to Tache and from Corydon to Norwood Flats, the street lights aren't on. And it isn't just in those districts - from the West End to the Main Street strip, areas where fear of break-ins and muggings is already peaking, darkness looms over anyone needing to walk home from a late night shift or to catch a bus. And 311 won't lift a finger to help -Marty Gold has the details, including how both the City and Manitoba Hydro discourage residents wanting to report the dangerous failures. It's outrageous, and Winnipeggers deserve better.

Whether it's a daytime triple stabbing in Osborne Village or an evening shooting near Health Sciences Centre, the neighbours both said the same thing - 'we gotta move'. TGCTS reviews the details of the stabbings and the stabber, who seems linked to the homeless encampment near the Osborne Bridge. What don't city officials mention when they discuss "services" provided free of charge to those camps? Osborne Village has had an 82% increase in crime since 2019. Will the area MLA - a certain Manitoba premier - and the area councilor take a stand for the people who thought going to the drug store was a safe decision? Here's what one of their Village constituents, a father with small children told the media: “What kind of human wants to live in this kind of environment, where you could be subject to a random variable. I don't know what to do anymore. It's just a constant issue.” ****** Coming up: Opposition is building against Mayor Gillingham's rush to meet federal demands and change zoning rules to access federal cash- which neighborhoods will be the losers? Is City Hall trying to sneak another bike lane project past a local Biz Association? We are on the case.

Key takeaways In this episode, you'll learn: Why training is an essential component of a successful compressed air program What resources are available to help professionals get certified and improve their compressed air skills Which new technologies are impacting the industry On the record "The lack of knowledge is the biggest obstacle in having an compressed air system running optimally. So yeah, that's quite important, and that was recognized back in the 1990s, right? And you know, as time went on, people working in Compressed Air Challenge and in the auditing field we get older and older, and the new people need to learn as well, so we can leave the field secure in the knowledge that people come coming to replace our vacancy know a lot about compressed air and auditing." -Ron Marshall Learn more Marshall Compressed Air Consulting Compressed Air Challenge Compressed Air Challenge Training Calendar Compressed Air & Gas Institute Certified Maintenance & Reliability Professional (CMRP) program Compressed Air Training and Certification See compressed air leaks with acoustical imaging Ask the Experts: How important are storage receivers in a compressed air system?

This week, we let you hear for yourself how radical climate activists tried to entrench even more influence inside City Hall under the guise of "budget consultation". Then, Marty explains how their subversive anti-car agenda is exposed in the rigged 'Moving on Marion' bike lane process we investigated in our YouTube video series. The mainstream media leapt to defend far-left special interest lobbyists like Marianne Cerilli and assailed Coun. Jeff Browaty for daring to reply to her Community Committee presentation by noting: "Just because you've come to council, your opinions aren't more important." What was he rebutting, exactly? No one in the media actually explained what Cerilli said at the EK-Transcona meeting. But we do- and it was outrageous. * YOU CAN SUPPORT TGCTS via ⁠⁠paypal.com/paypalme/MartyGoldMedia⁠⁠⁠⁠ * 7:46 Clip 1- Hear "healthy communities' consultant Cerilli reveal her extreme policy goals - to cut gas use in half by forcing 50% of car users onto bikes and buses, or ride-sharing aka 'mode shift'. 13:47 Clip 2 - In response, Browaty put the former NDP MLA in her place. He cited working folks who can't spend hours at formal proceedings and instead speak up through talk radio shows, online posts and personally contacting their councilor. When Browaty dared suggest the 'climate change' reactionaries wrongly marginalize taxpayers who don't want to "blow things up", the name-calling revved up. Marty skewers the ridiculous blowback at Browaty and the hypocricy of the critics. 19:34 Clip 3 - Listen to a sneering Cerilli demean the residents Browaty represents- because if they "take their kids to soccer" it's "destroying the planet" and they are in "Climate Denial." Her startling outburst is a clue of what's behind repeated biased bike lane planning. The bike/eco lobby wants to burn local economies to 'save the planet'. Almost 300 parking spaces will get sacrificed in Winnipeg's war on cars. City bureaucrats go along with it. 21:16 TGCTS has found a city-wide pattern of discrimination in the exclusion of residents and businesses from proper consultation on bike lanes. It extends from Wolseley through Osborne Village and with 'Moving on Marion" to St. B. The negative impacts of bike lanes and throttling roadways are never explained at Open House events orchestrated by high paid City consultants - who pick and choose which stakeholders to keep in the loop, and don't divulge serious impacts on emergency services and the viability of local stores. One-sided reporting is a hallmark of Winnipeg legacy media- and it's a key trick for imposing anti-car, anti-commerce bike lanes. Activists insist the City alter roadways to disrupt business, employment, and travel in local neighborhoods 'for their own good'. As a result, we are told, in the Village "there will not be loading areas for people moving in and out, or handicapped loading or delivery drivers anywhere unless they are delivering Skip by bike." Marty explains how next week's Portage and Main "consultations" are clearly rigged- while 'urban visionaries' disregard Coun. Wyatt's warning: "there will not only be pedestrian injuries, but there will be fatalities." One person noted: "it was horrible to cross... at rush hour it got really scary to cross." 34:20 Part 2 - A brief update about the passing of 2 longtime friends, Mike Phillips and Kaz Bednarchyk. Stories from SLAM! Wrestling about Mike are here and here, and our YouTube video tribute to Kaz is here. Also- a reminder of how pathetic rural cel service is compared to Saskatchewan and how Manitoba Hydro could help save lives in remote areas but won't. 42:20 Part 3 - Crime Courts & Public Safety: How come Cindy Tugwell and Heritage Winnipeg can't connect vacant properties and arson? Residents in the North End can. Hear about a racist cabbie murderer facing deportation and why a 12 year old stabbed a north end girl. Share this podcast!

Indigenous lands back into Indigenous hands: that is the aim of the Landback movement. In Gillam, Manitoba, treaty promises clash with hydro development. As the people of Fox Lake Cree Nation continue to push for land from the government, leaders like Conway Arthurson try to find middle ground with an industry that has historically tried to push them out. In the 1960s, Manitoba Hydro moved into this area - building dams and flooding the land that once held the people of Fox Lake. Arthurson has acted as a negotiator in the community's decades-long fight for a place to call home - a fight that gets more complicated with every dam Manitoba Hydro builds. And right now they're building the biggest one of all. In South Dakota, there is no place more sacred than He Sapa, or the Black Hills, to the Lakota. Also known as Mount Rushmore, the site is famous for its massive carvings of U.S. presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln. On July 3, 2020, Nick Tilsen was arrested there as part of a protest against former President Trump's fireworks rally on what is traditionally and legally Lakota land. Tilsen is a citizen of the Oglala Lakota Nation and the founder of NDN Collective. The group recently created Landback Magazine, as a means to connect and exchange knowledge with other Indigenous nations. In the Kingdom of Hawaii, Mauna Kea is revered by the people. So much so that their Kapuna - or elders - put their bodies on the line to protect this sacred mountain from a thirty meter telescope or TMT. Since the 1960s, the University of Hawaii has built 13 giant telescopes on the summit, each time promising it would be the last. For decades, Hawaiians have pushed back to protect Mauna Kea from any future developments. Noe Noe Wong-Wilson was born and raised on the island of Oʻahu. She is one of the first board members of the newly established Mauna Kea Stewardship and Oversight Authority. Pua Case was born and raised on the Island of Hawai'i. She's the program director of Mauna Kea Education and Awareness.

Recorded at Canada Pavilion at the United Nations Climate Conference, COP27, at Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt on Energy Day, November 15, 2022, episode 68 features a panel discussion, “Powering Net Zero: Achieving Deep Decarbonization with Canada's Clean Electricity Advantage.” Organized under the banner off Electricity Alliance Canada, the panel featured intro remarks by Catherine Stewart, Canada's Ambassador for Climate Change, and a conversation with Guy Lonechild from First Nations Power Authority, Manitoba Hydro's Jay Grewal, Kerry O'Reilly Wilks from TransAlta, Gary Rose from Ontario Power Generation and Capital Power's Brian Vaasjo.

As electric companies focus on increasing reliable electricity access within their communities, they are working alongside Indigenous community stakeholders to provide communities services they need. What are the ways in which electric companies can co-create energy solutions with their local communities? What should leadership look like to support employees and customers? And why is it critical to make the energy decision-making process more inclusive? Jay Grewal, President and CEO of Manitoba Hydro, joins this episode of Global Circuit.   The Global Circuit is brought to you by EEI International Programs as part of EEI's Electric Perspectives podcast.

GOING BACK: What Home Means (Episode 37) Guest: Kazim Ali, Author of Northern Light: Power, Land, and the Memory of Water. Music: Cullah The child of South Asian migrants, Kazim Ali was born in London, England, lived as a child in the cities and small towns of Manitoba, and made a life in the United States. As a queer, Muslim man passing through disparate homes, he has never felt he belonged to a place. And yet, one day, the celebrated poet and essayist finds himself thinking of the boreal forests and lush waterways of Jenpeg. After 40 years away from the place, Kazim returned to Jenpeg where he lived as a child while his father worked on Manitoba Hydro's Jenpeg Generating Station. Kazim's return visit after those 40 some years away is documented in his book, Northern Light: Power, Land, and the Memory of Water. The book is beautiful – layered and insightful, part memoir, part history, part journalism and at the heart of it is the history of the dam and a history of broken promises to the Pimicikamak Cree of Cross Lake and the dam's environmental toll on the land and the people.

In today's special episode, we get a virtual tour of the super green, Manitoba Hydro Place. Devin Evenson, a professional engineer of corporate facilities at the Manitoba Hydro joins us to give us a tour of the green features of this incredible space. The 700 000 sq. ft. building was conceived in 2003 and came to life in 2009. In 2012, it received the LEED platinum certificate and was named the most energy-efficient office tower in North America. None of this would have been possible without a strong vision to make a healthy work environment for the 2,200 employees that work there. During the tour, Devin takes us to various areas of the building, including the entrance, the south atrium, the northern tower, and the parkade. While the building is beautiful and aesthetically pleasing, design decisions weren't made in isolation, and everything contributes to the overall sustainability of the tower. We hear about the climatically responsive design, the heating and cooling system that has decoupled heating from ventilation, and the geothermal system.

The CEO of Manitoba Hydro joins Richard to explain the crown corporations' perspective on the transitway land dispute with the city.

“I’m literally trying to think through and just imagine what the possible justification for this could be. First of all, to do tens of millions of dollars in contracts without shopping around to get the best deal, and then secondly to keep that a secret. What possible justification can there be for that?” – Todd MacKay, Canadian Taxpayers Federation  Above is just one of the many responses to Manitoba Hydro's recent decision to award a contract to a supplier through the utilization of what is known has an EOI or Expression of Interest. This of course raises the much larger question are single source and/or sole source contracts necessarily a bad thing, in which the taxpayer ends up paying a premium for services that would hjave been otherwise far less costly through a competitive bid process? Today we discuss, and maybe even answer that question. Lawsuit Update: A Campaign For Truth @ https://procureinsights.wordpress.com/2016/03/21/lawsuit-update-a-campaign-for-truth/

The O-Pipin-Na-Piwin Cree Nation have suffered generations of maltreatment at the hands of various official entities. Moved from their homelands further south, they now occupy small scattered settlements in northern Manitoba, where summers are short and the land infertile. Having adapted to some extent to their new circumstances, large dams, built to supply energy to the rest of the province and beyond, flooded their traditional fishing and hunting grounds, destroying their livelihoods even further. Being so remote, the supply chain for outside foods is tenuous and expensive, with prices way beyond those found further south. No wonder, then, that the people are suffering an epidemic of malnutrition and its attendant diseases. But after years of maltreatment, the people are starting to reclaim their foodways and learning new ways to feed themselves sustainably. Andi Sharma, a policy analyst with the Northern Healthy Foods Initiative, told me about the problems and some of the incipient solutions. Notes The banner image is part of a very early map of the area now occupied by the indigenous people and Manitoba Hydro. The Northern Healthy Foods Initiative is trying to improve food security in a variety of ways. I didn’t spend much time following up on Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission, but I’m struck by the historical similarities between Canada and Australia, and, again, by the power of food as a political weapon.

Newfoundland's Finance Minister has suddenly resigned. He disagreed with the Premier's risky and increasingly expensive quest to have a Crown Corporation, Nalcor, build and transmit power from Muskrat Falls, Labrador, to export to the eastern seaboard states. Ontario wasted 1.2-billion dollars by supporting, then cancelling, two generating stations. Before that, the province offered contracts to solar power operators at a price six times the average Ontario rate, right before the cost of solar panels collapsed. This in a province where consumers are paying off 20-billion dollars of losses on nuclear plants and power contracts. Now Manitoba's government is flirting with financial disaster with its 34-billion dollar hydro dam building plan. Construction cost estimates have more than doubled, while cheap shale gas in the U.S. has collapsed the power prices Manitoba Hydro can expect to receive. Knowledgeable critics have warned consumers that their rates could end up tripling if the plan is fully implemented. And, in B.C., consumers face a 26 percent rate hike, due to past creative accounting. If consumers were served by private companies with shareholders' money at risk, not consumers’ or taxpayers’, fewer financially-ruinous electricity schemes by politicians would be possible. I’m Roger Currie. Join us again next week for more thoughts on the Frontier. For more on electricity and crown corporation policy, visit our website www.fcpp.org.
