Episode 26 has behind-the-stories details, with your comments, about our recent columns and reports in the Winnipeg Sun and Season 5 podcasts! Part 1- We've been bringing forward exclusive interviews and investigations about what's happening in Winnipeg. Marty Gold tells how you can help ensure strong independent reporting makes up for Trudeau-funded media consistently failing our community. It's necessary to pick up the pace on the fundraising drive in October. We are within $2500 of our budget goal! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click here to donate today 5.00- Listeners expressed concerns that in our interview with Coun. Jeff Browaty about Metro's Plan20-50, he seemed uninformed about the implications of the "aspirational" development blueprint. Marty explains what will happen next, with 12 member RMs turning down the document. About 80 folks gathered in Niverville to see Manitoba Stronger Together raise troubling questions about the "expert" ideas given priority by the Winnipeg Metropolitan Region board over proper stakeholder and public consultations. When a plan requires greater population density in Oak Bank than in Brandon, you know something fishy is going on. (The next MST session is on Nov. 2 in the RM of Ritchot.) Marty discusses how density targets will destroy the character of the St. Boniface business district, as Mayor Gillingham and Coun. Matt Allard nod approvingly. 15.20- Gillingham's plan to reconstruct Portage and Main will obliterate commuting times to and from St. Boniface. Nobody at City Hall cares about St. B- but we do. 19.30 Part 2- The first hint anyone got that 7-Elevens were on the chopping block was in Marty's Sun column, and word is up to 20 total are being shut down. Last week two in the North End and one in the West End closed. Now, 3 out of 4 retail building are closed at the corner of Ellice and Arlington. How will City Council stop the decay? 27.00- More coming about homeless encampments on our riverbanks. The hazards facing property owners and residents, first described in our Sun exclusive, are worse than we knew. The Superintendent of the Winnipeg School Division had to apologize after a guest speaker extolled the virtues of terrorism as "resistance." Hear why Matt Henderson had a very bad week after sailing though his first year. Before the WSD apology, some people posted support for the pro-terror message and thanked the division for displaying it on the arena jumbotron. How many were involved in the "pro-Palestinian" rally held on Yom Kippur in River Heights, near the Chabad synagogue? Fans of Iran were. Marty assesses how the cops would react if a pro-Israel rally is held near a mosque. ⁠We're looking at holding a Town Hall on Oct. 29 - Interested? Let us know! E-transfers, sponsor inquiries, comments - martygoldlive@gmail.com 41.20 Part 3 'Hell on Wheels' - listen to the story behind the story of this week's Sun column about violence on Transit buses. 46.00 - We explain how the short-staffed supervisor crew cannot possibly handle the volume of trouble calls from drivers. Before they showed up last weekend, Marty videoed an incident that could easily have turned into yet another stabbing, with the belligerent pulling the race card when challenged. 53.00- City officials need to ride the buses, share the pain, and shore up procedures until Transit users can feel safe. Enforcement of decorum on board - "turn down your radio!" and no foul language - is urgently needed. With the new routes coming in 2025, and only 4 supervisors on duty at night on weekends, it will only become more unpleasant and dangerous if nothing changes. Mayor Gillingham's 'root causes' approach holds the rights of homeless bus shelter dwellers above transit users getting to work, school and appointments. What do councillors say to women and seniors and teens too petrified to take a bus? A sample of public comments rounds out the episode such as: "The city likes to gag its employees. That should rattle a few cages."

Brentford look to shake off another tough away defeat by welcoming a wobbly West Ham United team to The Gtech this Saturday. The Hammers have lost on all three Premier League visits to Brentford and Thomas Frank and the team will be hoping that run continues.We look back at last weekends visit to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and discuss Bryan Mbeumo's worldie first-minute volley, then pick over the bones of where it went wrong afterwards, as well as THAT handball outside the area by the Spurs goalie.We chew the fat over whether top flight players really are playing too much football in light of several high profile stars hinting at strike action... plus we look ahead to the Brentford Women's team's Gtech take-over this Sunday for their match against Clapton Community.Andy Payne from the West Ham Independent Supporters' Committee gives us his insight into life in East London this campaign so far, with JB spinning the Facts and Funk and Jason Gowler from BeesBreakdown sprinkling some stats and technical analysis on the Spurs and West Ham games.Dave Laney Lane is joined in the virtual joint by Ali Mullally and Matt Allard this week.Enjoy.

Episode 19 is a crime and public safety update with important details we are reporting first! Part 1- Marty Gold discusses his ground-breaking report in the Winnipeg Sun Banned radical Imam gets platformed in Winnipeg church hall Winnipeg broadcasters missed the memo from the Archdiocese of Winnipeg after extremist Saudi Shaykh Assim Al-Hakeem addressed a Muslim charity in a northwest Winnipeg church in August: “The parish was notified by the Archdiocese about this situation and was instructed to tell the charity to disinvite the guest speaker, but due to circumstances, the disinvitation did not occur.” No local media or politician spoke up. So much for being "anti-racists". 10.40- An overview of the death of a homeless woman inside Fort Rouge Park on River Ave. after being struck by a police car. A vigil held at the park revealed an agenda that seeks to erase the scales of justice: "The [investigation] systems have continued to be designed in a colonial practice, so when the systems are being applied for Indigenous people, you're colluding with colonization. That is not our ways, that is not our sovereign ways, that is not our treaty ways." A listener notes: "The problem is that what she calls someone's home is a public park and there is a law against overnight camping. If the City had enforced its own laws, Tammy Bateman wouldn't have been residing in the park in the first place." You'll hear the known facts, theories about the collision itself, the allegations flung around from radical far-left mouthpieces, and the MMIW spin being promoted in a case where the deceased was neither missing nor murdered. Season 5 fundraising has hit $3005- please help us reach the $5600 goal by donating in September - click here 26.20 Part 2- In response to the death, a protest at Portage and Main generated headlines after an altercation involving indigenous protesters and the bike lobby, and an errant driver. Not all the headlines told the truth. We walk through an account of the sequence of events, and add what the videotape showed. 29.00- Listen to TV audio that explains exactly how the police catering to the anti-cop mob demands cops not be present at the intersection led to a mob having opportunity to attack a motorist. Driving north on Main, he saw the unexpected- people with bikes and others in regalia blocking the no-pedestrians-allowed intersection "before others jumped on the car's hood." The mob threw punches, kicks, and smashed windows, and now presents a challenge to the justice system. The perps are all identifiable, and the average person would expect to see charges for the mayhem laid. Do charges in Winnipeg depend on which mob commits violence? Is "whitey got what was coming to him" or "our ways our laws" a reasonable defence? 36.00 All this occurred as Danny Smyth cleared his desk for the next police chief. After Smyth set the stage for mobs to take over our streets, Mayor Scott Gillingham and police board chair Markus Chambers have to set aside their DEI focus on a new hire "fostering relationships"- and hire a crime fighter. Hear why major US companies forcefully ditched their Diversity and Equity policies this summer, and returned to rewarding merit, delivering their core product, and restoring balanced HR and service practices. Now is not the time to be woke central when it comes to police leadership. If as Council claims, they're running a corporation, they should act like it. 44.00 Part 3 Crime Roundup - Two men in their 40's targeted by a West End carjacker with a knife - Coun. Jason Schreyer attended the aftermath of a Keenleyside shooting and sent an update; - A shooting north of Provencher on Tache- the third in about a year- may force St. Boniface Coun. Matt Allard to ask what's going on at area Airbnb's. Today in the Winnipeg Sun - Former St. Boniface pool now a 'dangerous place' Coming up Sunday - brazen shoplifters in the West End confronted by a hero filming their crimes and making them famous

The continuation of our interview with St. Vital councilor Brian Mayes has a few surprises for Episode 18. Part 1- A shout-out to our listeners outside of Manitoba and the readers of Marty's column sin the Winnipeg Sun. Hear a review of the impact of recent stories about Plan20-50 as an example of the work supported by our sponsors and donors. 8.28 Part 2- Civic issues relating to public information and consultation, and city staff falling far short of their duty: - Is the city Transportatation2050 plan merely formalizing an existing administration practice to "Design streets with emergency vehicles in mind?" Mayes confirms that even as chair of Community Services, he has "no memory of ever talking about that." He commits to asking how city staff decided there was not a "significant" delay to emergency service response caused by the Goulet bike lane bottleneck. 14.30 - Mayes says it was a "poor" decision by bureaucrats to give only one day's notice about pop-ups at local malls to explain Transportation2050 to the public. (Their excuse? it's not part of the public consultation process so there's no minimum notice required.) He agrees that the purpose of those sessions is to give residents a chance to evaluate the plan and then tell their councilors what they think. The limited times and venues chosen excluded too many Winnipeggers. "You'll show up at the mall? And nobody will spot that (pop-up)... I feel a town hall coming on." Mayes will be focusing on the lack of planning for modifying St. Mary's Road to manage traffic flow. 18.00- Hear Mayes describe: - How planners made assumptions when no money is alloted, wanting to "authorize density on the idea that oh, there'll be a bridge here (to the U of M)... it just seemed hare-brained." - "I voted for a bunch of this stuff under Mayor Bowman's fairly grandiose plans and the bills are now coming due... I think we'd be better off saying we can't afford to do a ton of this stuff, let's revise Our Winnipeg down to a much shorter list." - "The disconnect between the planning and the transportation has got to get better." - Mayes compliments transit planners for paying attention to residents in his ward - The city transportation plan was going to be subservient to the Metro region Plan2050, yet city bureaucrats admitted the WMR plan was only 'alluded' to in the City plan. - Mayes has concerns about water and sewage capacity as housing expands in the city and nearby RMs. "We can all say we want more housing but at the end of the day, we got to have a sewer system that can handle that and I'm not convinced that we do." The Season 5 Funding Drive is at $2905, with a target of $5600. Email Martygoldlive@gmail.com to arrange to support the podcast and ActionLIne.ca today! 32.00- Part 3- Crime and Public Safety update We have the latest on the August closing of 3 convenience stores, in EK, St. B, and the West End. 40.25 - You won't believe the extraordinary measures that retailers are taking to secure snack and grocery items. These closures and security concerns are devastating to the employees and degrade the quality of life for the community. - A trio of intoxicated teenage thugs - armed with a machete and an ax - ruined the lives of a 15 year old boy on Selkirk and an 80 year old homeowner on Pritchard this month. The north end wonders, do these kids have a social worker involved? Maybe Nahanni Fontaine can tell them. The new column in the Sun exposed years of complaints about cyclists and others racing at high speed over the Tremblay bridge into the Archwood neighborhood. Animals have been hurt, and private property damaged. https://winnipegsun.com/opinion/columnists/gold-speeding-cyclists-on-collision-course-with-homeowners St. Boniface councilor Matt Allard did what he usually does when aggressive cyclists endanger the public- nothing. You'll hear an update from Saturday night about the kind of accidents waiting to happen that were witnessed.

Episode 11 features an interview with Sophie Hildebrandt about her petition to "Open Up Lyndale Drive". The 19 year old is leading the fight in her neighborhood against City Hall- and as we reported in the Winnipeg Sun, the city's own data backs up their position. Only TGCTS has investigated the pushback against bike lane plans for the Route 19 truck route corridor ("Moving on Marion") and for Provencher Blvd. Now, a third front has emerged in St. Boniface after too many residents were harassed and abused by cyclists and the City ignored the result of their own poorly executed and designed public consultation. We cover your community! To donate via E- transfer, or for advertising inquiries, news tips and your comments--martygoldlive@gmail.com Norwood Flats is bordered by St. Mary's Road on the east and ringed by Lyndale Drive which runs alongside the Red River, where there's a park and newly built AT path. Continuing a pandemic-era policy, the City has imposed summer restrictions on traffic that divert vehicles through narrow residential streets with schools, buses, parked cars, and kids. Sounds safe, eh? Because the Flats isn't laid out in a grid, some people can't get to their houses any other way, yet get threatened with tickets by police. Meanwhile, homeowners get harassed by cyclists who mistakenly think the Drive is reserved for their personal use. 6.05 - "I want the barricades gone," says Sophie Hildebrandt, and she's not alone. With 186 people already signed, the St. Boniface Facebook groups are chattering. Marty Gold asks her about the reasons she started a petition, the effect of traffic detoured past schools, and the confusion for delivery vehicles and even Post Office drivers to find addresses so complicated even Google Maps aren't accurate. 14.00 - Hear how a police officer declined to write up a $200 ticket on Sophie and on another neighbour "because he could tell I had no other way to get to my house." That's what led her to start the petition. "Even the cops who the city are employing to patrol the neighborhood and pull over only the locals who use this road, think it's redundant. They don't understand why they're there." 17.45 Part 2- Sophie was urged by her parents to take action. "Right after I got pulled over, I said yes. So I called my city councilor, sent him an email, and started a petition." "I've been complaining about this since the second it was put into place... it's still actively making our lives harder." Even though she took the City survey, she was never notified of the results. You'll hear her reaction to the actual percentages- and on ActionLine.ca you can see the survey results, after bureaucrats suspiciously failed to surpass 10% participation among the 3200 residents in Norwood Flats. The Season 5 Fundraising Drive is at $1705.00 towards our $5600 target - ⁠help us keep the momentum going by donating here!⁠ Every donor gets a copy of Retropeg as a sign of our appreciation! 24.20 - A clear majority of neighborhood residents wanted Lyndale Drive re-opened and a study done before a closure was considered. As we explain, bureaucrats included the overwhelming support of 70 cyclists- mathematically tipped the scales against the will of the community. That's how Norwood Flats got rooked. 32.00- Sophie tells of the intimidation of families using their cars from the other road users- and describes how Coun. Allard did not reply to her multiple calls and emails. 36.00 - She urges anyone interested to email her at norwoodflatspetition@gmail.com. (The petition is now at 246 supporters.) Sophie can augment the petition with the City survey results- that Matt Allard himself didn't understand - proving that the neighborhood wanted the street barriers removed and a new study done. City Council voted to do one but won't pony up the cash to pay for it. "I've been trying to get in contact with the Mayor's office... Here is proof there are hundreds of people who feel the same way I do."

The final meeting of City Council before summer vacation had some important items on the agenda, and some gems from four councilors we've interviewed on the podcast previously. This week we do a listen-along of remarks from Mayor Scott Gillingham and from those council members last Thursday. What they say about proposals for garbage pick-up and fixing an old bridge will open your eyes to how fiscally confused our civic government has become. Part 1- An update of the $5600 Season 5 funding drive- and why donors love the gift of a copy of Retropeg for their support. 8.30 Part 2 - Mayor Gillingham hopped on Zoom to get his say in the July council debates. Hear how he seemed to be for adding more City-run garbage collection, before he was against it. 14.55 - St. Vital councilor Brian Mayes hearkens back to the lessons learned from the Golf course controversy a decade ago, as he challenges Gillingham's math about what the extra costs would be for a mixed service. "Wow you're going to increase that by maybe 8 million over over 7 years on this $280 Million base contract." You'll hear the comparisons to Ottawa and Calgary, and why their approach would make sense for Winnipeg, especially since "the arson thing is really a red herring." Has your city councilor told you how expensive household garbage fees are going to become under Gillingham's current plan? 24.20 Part 3 - For years we wondered why replacing the ancient Louise Bridge disappeared from the City priority list. Last week's decision to squeeze another 25 or 30 years out of it exposes why- it's because the north and east side of the City don't count. For E- transfers, advertising inquiries, news tips and your comments-- martygoldlive@gmail.com The bigger picture, says Coun. Russ Wyatt of Transcona, is that not replacing the bridge but merely refurbishing it for $40M means the taxpayers essentially saw millions wasted on the eastern corridor study. Wyatt notes the plan is to close the bridge for 2 years. The effect on traffic, especially after Gillingham forces Portage and Main open to pedestrians and extra transit buses, will be catastrophic. "This could have been avoided... where is the leadership from our senior management? This is something any public works director worth his salt wouldn't have signed off on." Wyatt asks a good question- why isn't the City adding a new span to get buses over the river and remove them from traffic lanes? 38.20- Hear why Mynarski Councilor Ross Eadie, whose ward borders the bridge, reluctantly agrees with the stop-gap solution. 41.00 Jason Schreyer's ward is the most affected by the decision. He provides a history lesson about the Louise Bridge. and how council for 20 years refused to save the money needed to replace and modernize it. Instead, councilors doled out the dough to infrastructure projects in other, more politically important neighborhoods than Elmwood. 45.00 - Marty explains the downside of Gillingham's plans: Adding buses and bike lanes downtown while opening P & M at the same time as closing the Louise Bridge- what can go wrong? Plenty. Meanwhile, as his Winnipeg Sun column this week describes, the City is rushing through a 30 year transportation plan while making sure the public has no chance to study the implications and tell their councilor what they think. No one at City Hall dares admit it will massively extend commute times for people on Winnipeg's east side, including St. Boniface, East Kildonan and Transcona- and the North End. We will continue to expose the bias against those neighborhoods. ****** Coming up: An interview with Coun. Brian Mayes, and trouble on the western front for St. Boniface Coun. Matt Allard. ******* Our analysis and interviews hold politicians and bureaucrats accountable! We've raised $1525.00 towards our $5600 target - help us keep the momentum going!

Episode 4 opens with exciting news, as the Winnipeg Sun has asked Marty Gold to become a regular Sunday columnist. It's a result of the success of the TGCTS podcast, telling it like it is- with your support. The first column, ⁠'Winnipeg transit like riding a bus in Gotham'⁠ explained how the new 'transit cops' aren't actually going to arrest anyone, and won't be turfing fare jumpers either. 5.00 Part 1 - Following up on ⁠our interview with Elmwood-East Kildonan Councilor Jason Schreyer⁠ about the perilous state of civic finances, we next delved into ward and city-wide issues. - Schreyer has first-hand experience with foot patrols, and "will do whatever I can" to help them monitor crime and public safety in EK. - "It's pretty sensible" to review if the City should restore community-based policing to Elmwood. He questions a decision made before he was elected to eliminate the 2 cop offices in the ward. "I need to look at that," Schreyer says. "Why shouldn't we? It's not getting any better. It's a human right for people to feel safe in their neighborhood." Schreyer understands the fear people have at night, as he regularly walks the area around the Redwood bridge. 15:20 Part 2- Schreyer admits that councilors have STILL never been told that 99 parking spots are being erased for Coun. Matt Allard's bike lanes on Goulet, Marion and Traverse. He only learned about ⁠it from our investigation⁠ into ⁠a rigged Open House⁠ last year. - Public consultation for the 'Moving on Marion" project ⁠failed to consult area businesses⁠ or the St. Boniface Hospital- and Schreyer acknowledges seeing ⁠the resulting gridlock on Goulet⁠ that delays all traffic including ambulances. "Hopefully within the whole process of doing this, we learn from it." 21.30 - Maintaining timely ambulance services isn't ever considered by city planners, Coun. Schreyer observes. - He was asked about a hearing he chaired discussing a new 220 unit housing proposal- with a projected average tenant age of 72- on Dawson Road South and Fermor Avenue in the southeast quadrant. Does the City consider how long it will take to the nearest ER? "I can't remember the last time they mentioned that ... These are things that cannot be ignored. We didn't build these hospitals for nothing." 24.00- Schreyer is surprised the City ⁠is refusing to provide a 911 call⁠ to a grieving family after a subsequent suicide. He's baffled why they were refused because of an alleged privacy exemption - "I thought 911 calls were public"- and says he will welcome hearing from the family about their fight with City Hall. - Schreyer concludes the interview by complimenting our 'Let's get right down ta business' style of reporting: "You're hitting the issues. All your questions deserve answers. Let's keep going." ****** It's Summer time and that means more interviews, more street-level reporting, and more columns acting as YOUR VOICE in the Winnipeg Sun. We ask questions no one else will, about things no one else wants to tell the public about. We don't take a dime from federal subsidies and never will- but there's a lot more work we can do, with proper financial resources. Now is the time. We're asking for friends and supporters to kick in with contributions to ⁠our $5600 funding campaign⁠ - with $800 raised already, we know Winnipeg recognizes how we fill the gap in the media landscape. Every donation big or small will keep the lights on, cover transportation and office expenses, pay for equipment upgrades, so we can produce more reports and podcasts and add more features.

Episode 44 opens with listener comments about our tribute to Brian Smiley; an update on the Dan Rentz 911 suicide call from Episode 42; then lots more updates in the city hall and provincial round-ups! 8:00 Part 2- Using the bully pulpit of the Free Press, Brent Bellamy is the mouthpiece of the elitist 'urban visionary' crowd in Winnipeg, aligned with the radical bike lobby. When Coun. Ross Eadie wrote to the newspaper disputing Bellamy's proposals that would make River and Osborne a nightmare for disabled and blind pedestrians, Bellamy mocked the concerns. You'll hear Eadie's detailed explanation and the crass, no class response from Bellamy, distorting the issues and dismissing the objections of the councilor who is himself blind. It's indicative of how actual public safety is an afterthought to the anti-car, anti-capitalist mob Bellamy fronts for. As Eadie put it: "This guy has an architecture stamp – wow... maybe architects should be penalized under the Accessibility For Manitobans Act." Comments, news tips, Interac donations- martygoldlive@gmail.com 19.40- That attitude against protecting genuine public safety is on display with the debate about closing Assiniboine Avenue at Main Street. Marty Gold provides the history of the idea, which was a favorite of the Manitoba Club front group, "Friends of Upper Fort Garry" in 2010. The flaws of the idea were put on the record by Kelly Ryback at the Public Works meeting - starting with a naval base down the block and the use of the road to get to St. Boniface Hospital. You'll hear audio clips from the subsequent discussion by councilors and the stunning deceptions that the bureaucrats were pulling to conceal their plans, dissuade public input, and cater to their allies in the bike lobby. 26.45 - Janice Lukes and Russ Wyatt question the department heads. You'll hear how emergency services were not actually asked about ambulances getting delayed going to the hospital, the dirty trick of labeling the report as 'information' when they intended to "roll this out" anyways, and Wyatt challenging this "dangerous" idea. Lukes called it "a tricky recommendation" and "confusing." Another trick was revealed- summer repairs on Assiniboine will block eastbound lanes, which will lower the numbers of vehicles diverted northbound down Fort Street and make it seem less obstructive of traffic than it really is. 34. 14- While the administration called it a "pilot", Wyatt rightly said, "It's a trojan horse, not a pilot". You'll hear the bureaucrats admit they didn't mention the word 'pilot' anywhere in the report or that the proposal to forbid right hand turns onto Main St. is for a YEAR. This is an example of the public service deliberately deceiving the public to tamp down their input. Not coincidentally- immediately after Wyatt identified the bike lobby as manipulating this initiative, the YouTube feed of the meeting was mysteriously cut off. He's taking his complaint about being censored to the Governance Committee. Marty recaps how stakeholders like small businesses and residents downtown are being shunted aside by high-paid liars on the public payroll who favor the bike lobby elitists. Lastly in the City Hall round-up, a Matt Allard sighting. Hear the questions he's going to be asked as we continue to seek an interview with him. It's not only about the Goulet bike lane, but that's a start. There's a Happyland Pool fundraising update to end the segment. 48:47 - Part 3 - Provincial round-up Update on the Bell MTS layoffs in Brandon, as we again scoop MSM; More reasons why Wab Kinew's NDP shouldn't follow the BC model of hard drug decriminalization and 'safe supply'; Four hopefuls- at least- are lining up to contest the PC nomination in Tuxedo to replace Heather Stefanson, one of whom is a strong voice for the Jewish community, Larry Pinsky. ******* To support the Truth for Lily, Justice For Dan $25/ticket fundraiser raffle: sheenapaterson.massagetherapy@gmail.com

A classic 3 segment TGCTS Podcast is set for your Easter weekend listening! Part 1 - We open Episode 31 with your comments about Nahanni Fontaine's March Madness- and we add a few more issues we didn't mention yet, to the storm of controversy around her and her department. When the NDP froze foster care per diems in 2012, did Fontaine ever tell Greg Selinger it was harming indigenous kids? Of course not, that might have resulted in losing her plum position as "Aboriginal Women's Advisor." And she'd never have gotten the NDP nomination in St. John's. 18:50 Part 2- A brief explanation of the very negative consequences of the NDP regressing to a 1-1 ratio for trades apprentice supervision. Marty Gold explains what will result: less trainees, less trainers, less training, less homebuilding, more costs to you. The NDP-supporting union is happy with that. 24.00- Happyland Park Pool supporters aren't giving up- but a letter to Mayor Gillingham and city council shows how far trust in City Hall has fallen in the neighbourhood. What will Matt Allard do to help their last-ditch fundraising, and to prevent the City from arbitrarily bulldozing the pool while they try to save it? And speaking of St Boniface, Mrs. Mike's on Tache wants to resume operations and was told it could take up to TWO MONTHS for an Occupancy Permit. Maybe Allard doesn't eat burgers, but thousands of Winnipeggers do. We've asked Allard to get things speeded up and not let St. B be treated like the North End of the South End, yet again. 34.00 Newsmaker of the Year Andrew Marquess doesn't trust City Hall either, and why should he? City planners have invented yet another obstacle to approval of his Fulton Grove housing plan- and of all things, Coun. John Orlikow is empaneled to decide on it. 39:55 Part 3 - Crime Courts and Public Safety Update - A Rally for Justice took place last week, and while the Free Press slanted their coverage to fit their narrative, we will be having organizer Mike Vogiatzakis on the podcast in the next few weeks to talk about his cause seeking to abolish catch-and-release policing. - Two business stories: one a move and expansion, the other of business misadventure forcing a sale, with one thing in common- crime is badly affecting their sectors. It's Brian Bowman's legacy, that never gets pinned on him like it should. - 49.35- Councilor Janice Lukes still hasn't responded to our request for an interview but took a moment to compliment the police for handing out speeding tickets on the South Perimeter highway. That's never been done before by city cops because it's a provincial road handled by the RCMP. Predatory speed traps aren't legitimized just because drivers are duped into thinking the ticket was legal- and it's another reason why no one trusts City Councilors to have their backs. Considering the last spate of tickets near there handed out by cops were dropped by the Crown as illegal - as the Designated Construction Zone didn't include the area they were enforcing the extra-penalty citations - we suggest Lukes makes sure these pass the sniff test before handing out the flowers.

To kick-off Episode 26, an update on our winter campaign! Please help us maintain the pace towards the $3800 goal by April 1. Marty Gold outlines unique upcoming topics - including analyzing Wab Kinew's far-left Gaza gambit - that will continue to earn the support of those seeking a voice and listeners turned off by being force-fed MSM narratives. 13.20 - A brief analysis of the underlying political rivalries behind the budget debate about closing 3 outdoor pools. Marty cites how the same tactics used a few years ago to demolish his childhood wading pool at Clara Hughes Park were again in play to set up the latest proposed closures. While Mayor Gillingham plays coy, the media lets him off the hook for an administration willing to slash services for poorer neighborhoods. While Coun. Sherri Rollins signaled she favours saving Winakwa pool (but not Happyland Park), no one in the media is assessing if the residents affected are being rewarded or punished because of the politics between rival councilors. Matt Allard frantically argued at the Community Services meeting for money to keep those pools open as St. Boniface becomes the North End of the South End. We ask, are councilors getting back at him for how he lorded over Public Works when he was Chair, and his conduct at Council meetings?

That they don't spend even 24 hours being locked up, even if they were breaching court orders. Listeners offer some opinions. "How safe does anyone feel going to the Forks which can now be designated a high crime zone." - Transit safety officers needed police back-up after pulling a goon off a bus at Main Street near Portage during rush hour on March 9. Is there any public place in Winnipeg that's safe anymore? ⁠Someone should ask Dr. Joss Reimer. 38:59 Part 3 - The more we dig into the safety survey numbers, the worse police chief Danny Smyth looks. Listen to how truly awful the state of public safety is, when only 10% of males and 5% of females feel safe downtown at night. And if you think that's bad, wait till you hear about Smyth and councilors pretending burglars aren't waiting to get their hands on residential water-use data to find out when you aren't home. ****************** So far we've raised $1770 towards our $3800 target- almost halfway there!

A recap of recent episodes lead off Episode 8 and then City Hall is in the spotlight this week! Marty Gold has an update on our interview with an arson victim, a comment from Coun. Ross Eadie on our exclusive that the investigation into Coun. John Orlikow is on ice, and the ongoing controversy about the online posts by Dr. Joss Reimer. We make clear, the WRHA has been under our microscope for over 15 years and we were at the infamous press conference when her predecessor "Brain" Postl made up excuses for the ER death of Brian Sinclair. With a salary over $400,000, TGCTS will continue to hold Reimer accountable since MSM gives her a pass. Click to support our public affairs investigations ⁠paypal.com/paypalme/MartyGoldMedia⁠⁠⁠⁠ 14:04 Part 2- An email to Mayor Gillingham and Councilors asked some hard questions about the slippery slope of imposing a mandatory "living wage." The voice of reason from St. James, Kelly Ryback, challenged the motion as "simply not feasible nor responsible." "Many of the jobs earning less than the living wage are low-skilled with limited responsibility... The city charter does not mandate that the city is to be the highest wage payer nor a work charity nor a make work project." You'll hear his main points, and his request that council address "employee performance and productivity so the taxpayers and businesses receive more value for the wages they provide through taxation, licensing, and service fees." Another issue Ryback has voiced concern about- the grand Transit plan to restructure the entire routing system. It's being pushed through with minimal public consultation and will affect YOUR neighborhood. You'll hear our as-yet unanswered inquiry to the area councilor about the potential effect on service to St. Boniface Hospital. 24.00 He won't address questions about bus service or public safety near the Hospital, or about the disastrous bike lane botch on Goulet St., or about the secret plan to steal 99 parking spaces in the area to satisfy his snobby allies in bike lobby. Instead, Matt Allard had his unofficial stenographers in the media type up a fluff piece about expanding the historic resources list to protect trees that "Indigenous people are believed to have used long ago to find shade on hot summer days." Matt Allard is worried about antique trees, already protected by laws governing parks. Like Joss Reimer, he's into virtue signaling, not doing his actual job. We've interviewed two other councilors, and Wyatt and Mayes are concerned about the gridlock being caused on the Goulet truck route and the effect on ambulances rushing people to the hospital. They're concerned about the slanted bike lane "consultation" process that misled and excluded area residents and businesses. And guess what- there's more bike lanes coming. We tell you about new online surveys proposing protected bike lanes downtown and for Notre Dame/Cumberland. We discovered a blatant bias against drivers in the reply options. That's your tax dollars at work. Since the supposed rationale for these projects is 'public safety', we're going to promote the return of an iconic traffic safety character to our schools and community centres to teach pedestrians their personal responsibility.

No, not the "Viva Intifada/Death to America" ones. Muslim families are demanding the Israeli hostages be released by Hamas so refugees can return home.

We open Episode 26 with an acknowledgement to the 17th anniversary of our launch on 92.9 Kick-FM. Our deepest appreciation to all our supporters, contributors, producers, advertisers and donors through the years. 8:56 Part 2 - Last Thursday the Free Press published a story about "the chaos at Grace Hospital" based on a tip from a patient. That same day, one of our listeners was in the St. Boniface Hospital and had their own tip about going to the Tache Ave ER: "THERE IS NO POINT OF CALLING AN AMBULANCE JUST STAY HOME AND DIE!"  Marty reviews her emails from the ER, and the conditions she endured and witnessed. You'll hear about filthy conditions, the lack of decent food, her 15 hour wait for a room, and the "15 Code Blues." - The constant arrival of drug addicts needing immediate treatment for their self-inflicted overdoses has created a backwards dynamic for ER patients at St. B. - "Don't think for a minute you will get the care you need." "Nobody can do their job as they are being called every 10 mins to resuscitate, the security is all being called to ER waiting room or ladies bathroom or the bathroom in the waiting room."  When she got back home almost 24 hours later, she concluded: "All I can say is many good people and old people are dyng while addicts are getting TOP NOTCH CARE AND MONOPOLIZING ALL THE DOCTORS AND STAFF."  One example was when a girl was stabilized and refused to be discharged. Hear about the violence and the number of nurses and security guards required to get that methed-out woman under control. And as we learned, the St. B. nurses have to deal with dangerous out of control characters on the way to work. Part 3 26:33- The Manitoba Nurses Union posted that members working day and evening shifts are being put in peril by the lack of parking in the Hospital district. An MNU member stated: "It's dangerous as there are lots of people wandering around, high on drugs and whatever else.... what about our patients?? and visitors??" This is a topic that TGCTS alone in the media landscape has focused on, especially with the City skipping any genuine consultation with those Hospital workers, neighborhood businesses, and residents as they ram bike lanes onto Marion and Goulet, aiming to erase yet another 99 parking spaces in the area. St. B residents, hospital employees and former employees added their perspective to the MNU announcement- including the muggings bike riders working at the hospital have suffered. We have the sky-high crime rates in the district and an idea to convert a rarely-used park to accommodate the MNU concerns. Silent in all of this is the area councilor, Matt Allard, who champions rigged bike lane programs over business, hospital and public safety even though as one nurse observed "Most cyclists I see in downtown St B seems to be addicts." ****** With investigations and analysis that MSM won't provide, we are your watchdog on City Hall!

We tidy up some closing notes on the Manitoba election to start off Episode 19, with a review of the appointments to cabinet by NDP Premier Wab Kinew. His Addictions Minister has already assured the media a "safe injection" site is planned for somewhere... will Bernadette Smith volunteer the neighborhood she lives in for the location? Hear how a 'free drugs' policy is eroding NDP support in BC. 10.40- A listener steered Marty Gold to the ⁠video of Global's election night interview⁠ with Douglad Lamont to review. Accordingly, we correct the record and apologize to reporter Rosanna Hempel - she had the details right, and it was her colleague who royally screwed up. ⁠ 15:24 Part 2 - Terrorist supporters hacked PC leader Heather Stefanson's IG account, as pro-Hamas marches continue unabated across the country. In Winnipeg the demonstrations have been less volatile than in the east, but continue to spout genocidal chants. Listeners alerted Marty to Winnipeg newsrooms airing those chants as part of their uncritical news coverage as well as debunked claims Israel bombed a hospital. * To sponsor podcasts /donate by email / send along news tips:  Email ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠martygoldlive@gmail.com 20.20- Winnipeg listeners may want to ask the Mayor and City Councilor to take action after antisemitic hate chants were incorporated into an 'otherwise peaceful' rally on Broadway. At a similar 'pro-Palestine' rally in Toronto, an interview put a young woman in the spotlight for insisting the Hamas murders of 1400 Israelis was "justified". People immediately dug into her background, which she falsified. Hear Marty's email exchange with Geoff Matheson of Convenience Group, who says Essra Karam never worked there and the outrage directed at the company was "devastating to our company and our employees..." "Her employment with Convenience Group was false information which was gathered from misinformation on LinkedIn... I believe all of Convenience Group's current employees have the same values as I do.  I do not condone or support any individuals (or groups) opinions or actions, that bring harm or hardship to another person”. Marty also provides another example of how deep the pro-Hamas rot goes in Canada, especially in Universities, quoting from a PhD candidate at York who is now on a work-to-rule. We detail Dina Alkilani's previous tweets and comments that prove her hatred extends not only to "IsraHel", but to anyone defending Jews- including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

A brief opening segment recaps the tremendous audience response to recent podcasts about the provincial election and public safety, and provides a correction thanks to keen ear of city councilor Ross Eadie. Then, Episode 47 reviews not only media reports, but first-hand accounts from Winnipeg residents and business owners about the mayhem they are coming face to face with all across the city.

This past week things got so out of control, we can barely find time to mention 2 suspected arsons and a fire at a homeless camp near the Osborne Bridge. We provide the frightening details of random violence and premeditated, organized thefts spanning from St. Vital to St. Boniface to River Heights. Exasperated homeowners and store clerks were threatened by knives, canes and aggressive behavior; women were punched by strangers; and rampant bike thefts resulted in a message to City Hall: "What is the point of taking your bike out if it has about a 50/50 chance of being stolen each time you go anywhere with it." Hear examples of how victims - and bystanders- are beginning to confront the lawbreakers, such as the surprise awaiting one garbage thief. There are husbands in the community showing leadership and bravery, while city councilors have seemingly checked out for the summer. While police chief Danny Smyth is proving to be the most bumbling cop since Barney Fife, citizens are comparing notes online and acting to identify and track violent, remorseless invaders who are undermining basic public safety- things they expect the police would do. 31.00 - As Marty describes, the best example of the rapid deterioration of public safety is occuring this summer in a neglected St. Boniface neighborhood we've championed for almost a decade. A listener from the Dufresne area near Marion and Archibald has connected the dots with other residents about the steep decline in the quality of life in the ward. Their conclusion? "Quietly these thugs are taking over St. Boniface." They're encountering obvious criminal conduct like drug deals and junkies cranking in their back lanes, doorways and parks that police simply aren't interested in disrupting and their city councilor, Matt Allard isn't interested in, period. Unreported in the mainstream media, they are afflicted just like Point Douglas by sketchy homeless campers on the local riverbank. Is it a coincidence that city officials have let both areas descend into chaos ever since they successfully pushed back on idiotic urbanist concepts like a football stadium on Higgins and the Marion Freeway? A few patterns are developing: Predatory criminal behavior - and strewn garbage, discarded used needles, and public indecency- has spread across neighborhoods within 10 minutes of downtown. With more and more brazen crime occurring in broad daylight, people no longer feel safe in their own yards. Unlike the bleeding hearts from the 'root causes!' crowd, the people affected have no sympathy for their tormentors. Marty predicts what will happen when candidates come to the doorstep seeking votes. Incumbent and aspiring MLAs may be in for a grilling. ******** Follow on Twitter ⁠@TGCTS⁠ JOIN OUR FACEBOOK GROUP ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/TGCTS⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Catch up on Marty Gold's 2023 Provincial Election commentaries on ⁠WinnipegTribune.ca⁠:  

Startling reports of crime, violence and public disorder continue in Episode 45 - recounted in 2 parts from north end to south. Part One focuses on a hard-working businessman who endured a series of break-ins that caused him to rack up $85,000 in security costs for his restaurants - and that was before this week's bizarre encounter with an aggrieved cabbie. Marty Gold explains this incident apparently started with the driver being accused of having an open beer in his cab by a security guard at the Four Crowns on McPhillips St. A few hours later the hack returned with some friends and busted up the beer vendor. Hear why the cab company might have to pony up so the restauranteur doesn't file yet another insurance claim. "It's costing my employees their safety," said Ravi Ramberran. "We're having to protect ourselves in every area of the city, and that's just extremely sad." "The security costs of doing business here are insane." Help cover the costs of local and provincial election coverage ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠paypal.com/paypalme/MartyGoldMedia⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ He said River City is turning into Gotham City because of the rot of a growing criminal underclass spreading across Winnipeg that has no fear of consequences. He's not alone: “Our government's solutions are all mid- to long-term solutions for a short-term problem,” said Shaun Jeffrey, CEO of the Manitoba Restaurant and Foodservices Association “We need short-term solutions.” A point that Ramberran made applies to all victims of crime across Winnipeg: “I'm getting really tired of politicians just talking about it. We need some action… If you hurt someone, take their stuff or damage their property, you need to go down extremely hard so you don't do it again." To sponsor / news tips: martygoldlive@gmail.com 18:16 - Part 2 - Marty explains that the lesson of what happens when there is no enforcement or deterrance is being felt in Point Douglas and St. Boniface, and is now a central concern in South Osborne. - In PD, councilor Vivian Santos told the Free Press the criminal activity springing from homeless encampments is 'assumed'. Hear her idea of a solution- and what an affected resident thought of her grasp on the serious safety issues facing home and business owners. - In St. Boniface, the stolen bike spree and other theft continues while area councilor Matt Allard hasn't offered a single word to comfort crime victims. - Now we can add South Osborne to the list of areas under siege. Constant road construction is testing the patience- and economic health- of the Riverview neighborhood on the east and Lord Roberts on the west. But listeners told Marty that's compounded by an unbelievable surge of organized criminal theft that is home-grown and which, depite evidence of the activity, is not being proactively dismantled by the cops under police Chief Danny Smyth. And as we predicted years ago, the rapid transit line plays into the rise in crime there. Listen to how far thieves- some obviously addicts but others obviously not - will go to violate the safety of residents who are desperate for relief. Their city councilor Sherri Rollins seems oblivious to the fact people are moving AWAY as a result. There's no organized effort to stem the tide- yet loud voices claim legalized shooting galleries would make things better? TGCTS will continue to speak out for the victims across our city.

Only days before an Open House to promote a bike lane planned from the Forks through the French Quarter, a city official received a notice distributed by the area BIZ wanting City Hall to slam on the brakes. In an exclusive report, Marty Gold reads their entire statement alleging that Provencher stakeholders faced a rigged public consultation process in St. Boniface. (Quel coincidence, Marty suggests.) "Act Now to Preserve Provencher Boulevard's Charm and Support Local Businesses", members were told. "The Provencher Boulevard Business Improvement Zone (BIZ) Board of Directors has serious concerns about this proposal and firmly believes that a pause in the process is necessary to allow for more comprehensive consultations with the local businesses, such as yours." Echoing the experience of retailers and service providers with the Moving on Marion fiasco, the statement revealed, "To date, the local businesses along Provencher Boulevard, including yours, have not been adequately consulted in the decision-making process." ** Support our independent citizen journalism via ⁠⁠⁠⁠paypal.com/paypalme/MartyGoldMedia⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ** The memo explained: "The proposed bike route raises several concerns, which we believe must be addressed before any irreversible changes are made... These changes would not only have a direct impact on the visual appeal and accessibility of Provencher Boulevard but also jeopardize the historical placement that has made it an iconic part of our community." Challenging the City again kow-towing to the bike lobby, the BIZ upped the ante: "a project of this magnitude, with potential ramifications for parking availability, green spaces, and the overall boulevard aesthetics, should not proceed without ensuring the input and feedback from the very businesses that contribute to the unique character of our community." "Your voice matters, and together we can make a difference", the memo stated, urging members to tell St. Boniface Councilor Matt Allard to "support a comprehensive consultation process with local businesses and urge him to explore alternative solutions, such as integrating bike lanes into side streets..." "In line with our commitment to preserving Provencher Boulevard's legacy, the Provencher Blvd BIZ Board of Directors proposes an alternative solution: bike lanes should be integrated into the side streets surrounding the boulevard... We firmly believe that this solution strikes a balance between promoting sustainable transportation and preserving the heritage and vitality of our local business community... Together, let's protect our community, support local businesses, and ensure a vibrant and prosperous future for Provencher Blvd." 9:24 - Episode 30 Part 2 - Marty was at the 'St. Boniface to Downtown Walk Bike Project' Open House held Thursday. As he anticipated, City staff and consultants made several crucial plan details available to the public about the Provencher scheme, but corresponding details for the Marion concept were hidden at the Open House in March. A city official reacted to the difference in transparency between the projects, and to an official statement TGCTS received from St. Boniface Hospital that "we did not make any submission to the city on either of these projects." As it turns out, City officials may have misled themselves into A) thinking a group they met with represented Hospital district residents, which it does not, and B) thinking the Hospital and 400 Tache medical building were properly informed about potential negative consequences of both bike lane proposals. The good news is, someone inside City Hall is now listening to the urgent concerns of Hospital district residents and Norwood Grove businesses. The bad news is, it still isn't Coun. Matt Allard- who's now on the political hotseat, sitting on the boards of 2 BIZ groups that oppose pet projects he launched as Public Works chair. Coming next: A third Winnipeg BIZ got shafted by bike lane planners- but fought back.

In Episode 28, we look at how a city councilor was schooled by outraged transit users, and then at the polls that the Manitoba NDP fears. With the snow melted off of city sidewalks, St. Boniface councilor Matt Allard had to find a new topic to flog. It's actually not 'new', because Allard has simply returned to his one of his 'urban visionary' pillars, public transit. In a social media posting on Thursday he managed to restrain himself from the kind of climate doomsday hysteria he hectors fellow councilors about in policy debates, and stuck to the basics. I take a bus from Windsor Park a lot, he said, and here's how I do it, and here's what I think needs to be be improved. Unfortunately, he also insulted the intelligence of just about everyone else in the community with this head-splitter: "... despite all of these advantages, many Winnipeggers don't take the bus because they don't feel safe. The bus is a public space and like other public spaces there are safety risks. There are also safety risks when travelling by car, so much so that Manitoba Public Insurance started the Save the 100 campaign, a campaign that points out the 100 people a year that lose their lives in traffic collisions. Once on the bus, chances of fatality are almost nil." Marty compiled the heated reaction to Allard's dismissive attitude from Facebook and Twitter respondents, and from a few loyal listeners who swiftly sent in their own observations. Among the highlights: "This has got to be the dumbest comparison I have ever heard." "Are people getting knifed and seeing their children beaten in their own cars?" "The last time I was on the bus, someone went unhinged and started screaming like crazy. My kid still talks about that. Not worth it. " ** Help support our independent community reporting via ⁠⁠⁠⁠paypal.com/paypalme/MartyGoldMedia⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ** Allard seems unable to grasp the obvious reasons why Winnipeg Transit is failing, but one user gave him a helpful summary - "Fares are high; Buses are off schedule constantly; Many lines come so infrequently that they can add hours to your ride; Peggo is slow to the point of uselessness." Hear how one woman coincidentally had tested his idea to reduce her private vehicle use - and how far short that experience fell from his utopian vision. A few of the comments came from transit users in Allard's own ward, where criticisms abound about poor service near St. Boniface Hospital, fare-jumpers, and filthy bus shelters commandeered by homeless addicts. This segment reviews a laundry list of shortcomings and failures, from scheduling to routing to no service on Sundays like it's the 1950's. That's aside from riders having to watch out for used needles and machetes. It was also pointed out the absurdity of Allard's suggestions for a new app and other changes, when the entire rider experience collapsed on his watch as Public Works chair. Lastly, a former transit operator of almost 4 decades dumped on the toxic management of Transit and spilled the beans: "There is no safety on a bus." This a startling example of how hard-left ideology among our elected officials is detached from the everyday ramificiations of their failed policies for working class voters- and for bus drivers too. 31:14 - Part 2 - While the headlines blare "Manitoba NDP continues to lead Tories", the devil is in the details. Listen to the polling numbers and the way the margin between the opposition and a provincial government facing "overwhelming dissatisfaction" (according to an Angus Reid poll) has shrunk by over 66%, from 18 points to only 5 now. With the Liberals fading fast, Marty explains how a German word about chess tactics comes into play as Wab Kinew and Heather Stefanson enter the election period facing a sceptical electorate.

More news on opposition to new St. Boniface bike lanes, provincial politicians saying mean things about each other, tough questions about teenage criminals, and exclusive audio featuring Conrad Black talking about the CBC - all on Episode 22! This week, Marty recaps how St. Boniface residents and enterprises were completely denied any meaningful input as the City hid plans to eliminate 99 parking spaces to make room for bike lanes. Manipulating the public consultation process is a key tactic used by the "it's a climate emergency!" crowd all across Winnipeg; St. Boniface is the latest example. Among the business owners, anger is building - this week even more of them told TGCTS they resent being excluded by City Hall. We reveal the tepid response to a hit-and-miss Norwood Grove Biz survey, as the organization tries to regain the trust of its members and distance itself from the perception the group had signed off on a plan that will devastate the shopping district on Marion and on Goulet. ** Help us with our bike lane investigation costs today: ⁠⁠⁠paypal.com/paypalme/MartyGoldMedia⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ** The negative effects of the bike lanes on the neighborhood near the St. Boniface Hospital - eliminating the priority bus lane for morning commuters, creating a Goulet Ave. bottleneck, impeding emergency vehicles- is comparable to neighbourhoods near the MiserIcordia Hospital and Osborne Village who are also ready to fight back. Marty recalls reports from 8 years ago about bike lane process "hiccups" - so described by a certain city councilor - that have never, ever been fixed. Why not? Hear what else that same councilor said, that directly relates to the fears of residents on Dollard Blvd. leading to the hospital. Dozens of fed-up stakeholders say they won't roll over for a fringe group that couldn't round up 75 supporters for their showcase cycling event last weekend. Meanwhile, St. B. Coun. Matt Allard continues to stay silent about the scandal. Pourquoi? 18:15 - Over at the Legislature- media hype about pre-election attack ads between the reigning "they fired nurses!" PC's and the "GST will hit 10%!" NDP. It's so dishonest! said another party leader, ignoring how their own favorite in Ottawa relied on the same playbook to get elected. While rumours swirl about NDP anxiety over Wab Kinew's stagnating support, the MSM searches for a fresh layer of tarnish to put on Premier Stefanson. We will continue to build our coverage around the genuine serious issues facing voters in the October election. 26:47 - Lord Conrad Black was hosted in a 'fireside chat' style interview by the Frontier Centre for Public Policy last week. It was moderated by an ex-Red River College VP who guested with us in the KIck-FM studio back in the day! He posed thoughful questions about politics, history and mainstream media to the former newspaper magnate. 31:49 - Hear Conrad Black describe how he'd reform the CBC. He didn't mince words - "we're all amateur psychologists" he noted before explaining what he thinks of the majority of the newsroom occupants and executive office dwellers at the Ceeb. 34:02 - Marty provides a value proposition for TGCTS listeners: Our local focus earns your support by providing a voice for those ignored by MSM elitists. Holding government accountable is essential to an informed, engaged public. 53:26 - Crime, Courts & Public Safety: What's the record for a single car being broken into downtown? We have a new winner. We run down the incidents and charges involving armed, violent, young thugs - so many teenagers are victims of robbery, stabbings and worse. From Weston to St. Boniface, from west end schoolyards to St. Boniface greenways, there's predatory violence everywhere and no responsible adults in sight. What should concern everyone, is how certain kinds of delivery drivers were targeted and were never warned by police. Share this podcast!

This week an overview of the growing Moving on Marion bike lane controversy, after we went back to the streets of St. Boniface to continue our investigation. Marty Gold explains: What is Moving on Marion and why should I care? The Basics: Bike paths and concrete bumpouts all along Marion and Goulet will cut Route 115 down to 2 lanes each. This will result in a loss of 99 parking spaces from Traverse (for a bike lane that isn't in the 'official' Active Transportation plan), and from Marion between the Marion Hotel & Tache. The Open House on March 16 did not mention 99 parking spaces would be sacrificed, or the effects on area enterprises. Goulet will lose the priority AM bus lane, slowing bus service with no Park and Ride planned to reduce traffic to and from downtown. There have been 3 public consultations in the last two years. Each meeting was sparsely attended and barely advertised. Only 5 of the 60 residents and business owners we have spoken to, had even heard of 'Moving on Marion', let alone the bike lane idea. At each public meeting the consultants hired by the City of Winnipeg were unable to answer questions about specifics and supplied only simple- minded generalizations of "liveability". (Reducing property taxes when the bike lane cuts across your yard? They didn't think of that.) ** YOU CAN SUPPORT TGCTS via Paypal ⁠⁠⁠https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/MartyGoldMedia⁠⁠ ** In Episode 20, Marty explains what we know about the role of St. B Councilor Matt Allard, and reviews comments from his former assistant, now School Trustee, Ryan Palmquist who claimed the previous Biz Executive Director was “one of the key champions of this vision.” He tried to dissuade the public from believing our reports or from financially supporting our independent investigation. Here's why you should- The Norwood Grove Biz was unaware they were being leveraged by the consultants against the community. The Biz is scheduling a meeting to notify their members what is going on and find out what they think- a step the City conveniently skipped. The Biz previously stated that if Marion remained a truck route, a bike lane idea was a non-starter. It seems there was a problem at the Biz and the new ED is moving fast to fix it. Kudos. Most importantly, there's no evidence the St. Boniface Hospital and/or the WRHA were consulted or notified of any plans that would hinder emergency vehicles and general access to Winnipeg's second largest hospital. Staff of the hospital, patients, and families park in this area. There are serious healthcare implications along Goulet for seniors in adjacent highrises, for health care workers attending the Access Centre, and for HandiTransit. Everyone should care that the Open House didn't mention those concerns. You'll hear what Marty was told by the affected homeowners and renters, businesses and services in the Dollard neighborhood who Matt Allard has failed to represent. They complain of being left in the dark, stonewalled, told to move, and of their councilor's silence. Our reporting makes clear, up to 90% surveyed did not know what was being planned and are opposed. What did Coun. Schreyer and Coun. Browaty say about a decade ago about unacceptable tactics by consultants? Yet it is happening AGAIN. Will your neighborhood be targetted next? The disarray in the Biz, combined with the lack of a Dollard Blvd. area resident group, opened the door for the "public consultation" process being highjacked by the radical anti-car bike lobby. City Hall cheats taxpayers to help them do it - while the media looks the other way. Part 2 - 22:38 Marty speaks of the passing of his longtime friends Kaz Bednarczyk of Kaz Graphics, and former wrestling champion Mike Phillips who competed locally as Sgt. Tom Steele and was seen on CTV nationally as JR Bundy. Part 3 - 27:51 Crime Courts and Public Safety: Bodies found in fires, teen shot outside KP Mall.

This week TGCTS exclusively reveals what the vaunted City of Winnipeg "public engagement" Open House in March hid from St. Boniface residents and merchants about area parking. 3.00 Part 5 on the Moving on Marion plan: Marty Gold investigates a bottomless pit of inept and seemingly corrupted public consultation. On the weekend we informed area residents of our YouTube series. They reacted just like the businesses did: they don't support bike lanes they never heard about and were never asked about. They spoke of the damaging ripple effects on their daily lives. City Hall won't listen- but we do. ** SUPPORT TGCTS via Paypal ⁠⁠⁠https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/MartyGoldMedia⁠⁠ ** 8.00 Homeowners, tenants, and hard-working employees listened to Episode 18 last week and voiced their own suspicions of a shady consultation process. On the defensive, the former ward assistant to St. B councilor Matt Allard inadvertently gave away the game. Ryan Palmquist - now a school trustee and no stranger to cashing taxpayer-funded cheques - mocked our fundraising pitch to listeners on Facebook, claiming this scandal is made up. Mistake #1. Palmquist denied there was a "silent backdoor agenda", citing "4 public meetings, multiple mailouts, dozens of posters, social media...". He wouldn't answer what Biz members were ever told about the projected parking cuts. Then Mistake #2: He revealed who blindsided the business stakeholders. "It was literally the then (Biz) Executive Director who was one of the key champions of this vision and was involved every step of the way. I'm not sure what you're talking about." So, Marty asked the Norwood Grove Biz for board minutes verifying she told her employers the plan she 'championed' will chop NINETY-NINE parking spaces and if they supported it. "Norwood Grove Biz is organizing an Open House with our members about the Moving on Marion to listen to their voices and what they have to say about this plan." Is it a scandal yet? 21.00 Marty dives into the public policy issues. With his question about "Available Spaces" answered on Twitter by another Councilor, Marty does the math to prove the list given Janice Lukes- who took over as Public Works chair from Allard- concealed the real number by leaving out a street. Unbelievable. What would the effect be of losing 100 spots- and loading zones- for bike lanes? A listener explains Osborne Village will soon find out- "red hot anger." It's the 2010 bike lane fake "public consultation" scam that a City audit slammed. 28.00 After Palmquist insisted the public was properly informed by the City, Marty checked his claim on the street north of Goulet that leads to the front door of the hospital. Hear the reaction to our handouts from 22 voters on Dollard Blvd. It obliterates any City Hall BS that the bike lane process was fair, transparent or competent. Residents echoed concerns for the future of the bank and other enterprises, and raised new concerns: busier streets & lanes, delayed ambulance response, impacts on the disabled and their own safety. Marty reviews plans to steal over 30% of parking, cut a priority bus lane, and reduce reliable bus service instead of improving it. Why no Park n' Ride lots for commuters? "The Biz supports the plan" lie was used to quell dissent at the Open House where business owners weren't invited and "before and after" parking numbers were hidden. A redesigned 2-lane Marion and Goulet is an example of 'Improper Planning' where the bike lobby and anti-car radicals thrive as area stakeholders are shafted. Dollard Blvd. folks don't have a residents group to be their voice, and their councilor ignores them. That's a scandal. 45.40 Crime Courts and Public Safety: 'Obby vs. Wabby' and intimidation accusations against Wab Kinew at the Legislature; Shared Health gets caught lying that they care about nurse and patient safety around Health Sciences Centre; and a grab bag of violence and crime from St. Vital to Garden City in the last week.

Winnipeg's leading public affairs podcast returns for Episode 18 with some Easter, Passover and shopping laws talk- and we mark an important anniversary from our Kick-FM heyday. 8:40 The Moving on Marion debacle, Part 4 - hear the feedback from St. Boniface after our YouTube series (Click for Pt 1 Pt 2 Pt 3 ). "What's all the fuss about?" replied a bike lane acolyte. Well, there's the total failure of "public consultation" AGAIN for new bike lanes on Marion and Goulet and the exclusion of dozens of owners of the area's shoppes and services, who already deal with a parking squeeze. Listen to a message from one owner proving how the fix is STILL in at City Hall for the bike lobby- "same M.O." as 2010, says Spirited Kenny. Marty interviewed a Marion St. homeowner who is losing frontage under the plan. She got a registered letter to attend a Feb. 28 meeting held by the project consultants and holds nothing back about the experiences of her and her neighbours- "it was a shit show." Invitations were apparently sent to only a few of the affected properties. One goal was to gather feedback on how the plan "will change your experiences with the area" for further use at the Open House. She asked what about the effect on our taxes? "We never thought about that" She concurs the entire Marion process is "a farce". Others representing St. B neighborhoods like Happyland Park objected at the meeting but their feedback had no influence at all, based on what was presented 2 weeks later to the public. As Kenny explains, "They aren't inviting people and they aren't answering questions?" (We've identified a dozen businesses on one single block left out.) The homeowner echoed questions about the grossly under-used Eugenie bike path and adamantly stated: "The Biz should have been more notified than us.. taking away parking now? That's rIdiculous!" "They got screwed over- big time - by not being able to attend these meetings and voice their opinions." Her prediction-- reducing parking spaces will devastate the St. Boniface shopping district. Marty has a brief update from the Norwood Grove Biz which contradicts the Open House claim that the organization endorses the Moving on Marion plan. Hear the homeowner lay the blame for the dirty dealings squarely on St. Boniface councilor Matt Allard, and what his successor as Public Works chair Janice Lukes needs to do to unwind "the big mess" he started: "Somebodies lying, who is it? She needs to have a meeting with the businesses around here and the residents and come clean." Guess who else she thinks should be there?

Word games are played by newsrooms and far-left inner city academics to conceal the waste of tax dollars and to protect careers. Wonder why provincial officials aren't held responsible the way private landowners would? How are there no records of when security patrols visit the site? We challenge a city councilor to prove that if restored, it will be safe enough for Ukrainian refugees to move into. 57:50 The Canadian Museum for Human Rights is at the forefront of irresponsible race-hustlers in Winnipeg who claimed without a shred of proof -and still haven't retracted the falsehood - that Linda Beardy was a 'victim of genocide'. We review how a local racism columnist also tried to blame society for her death in a dumpster, and why his attempt to pump up that narrative is losing ground.

The more we asked the businesses in St. Boniface about the 'Moving on Marion' roadway changes planned for outside their front doors, the worse it got. Marty explains how he continued to knock on doors and canvass Marion Street stakeholders asking what they did - and did not - know about the plan. "What Open House ??" He describes the mix of enterprises on just one block between Tache and Kenny, that without exception, consider the city plan as a deadly risk to their success. And we add those findings to the Scotiabank branch and The Dog Loft a block east also being left in the dark. How did we get here? Well, as Marty clarifies, the public consultation and Open House was conducted not by city staff as he had thought - but by outside consultants - meaning this is a redux of the 2010 battle of the bike lanes and one-sided public processes. How many businesses had no idea about the bike lane proposed on their street? Or about the loss of scarce parking spots for customers? We tally the scorecard and it's shocking. Hear their valid concerns and complaints about a biased and slanted system that caters to the self-centred bike lobby and has no interest in the viability of services in the area. Marty also tells of a brief, surprising conversation with the new director of the Norwood Grove Biz. She revealed that she ALSO had no idea about many of the plan details - and she first saw them at the March 18 event! She said the Biz has been in disarray - and none of the member businesses were notified of the Open House by her. But but but... the consultants told the open house gathering that "The biz wants this"? Well... maybe the public was... lied to? Spirited Kenny suggests "If this isn't incompetence, it's almost sinister." And listen for the name of the one BIZ board member who could have taken action to inform the Biz members- but chose not to. 25:47 Winnipeg is no stranger to rigged public consultations influencing urban planning. The Facebook comments from the affected St. B neighborhoods about our illustrated YouTube summaries point to a slanted Open House process- even before the March 18 session. There's a severe disconnect between the 'climate crisis' proponents steering bike lane and AT policy and the hundreds of businesses and residents impacted by their agenda - and it's widening. Local councilor Matt Allard gets pointed criticism in "Comment of the Week." Hear why all of Winnipeg city council, from Mayor Gillingham on down, should be concerned with what citizen journalism has uncovered about bike lanes- again.

With the help of a comment from Kelly Ryback, we discuss a previous abandoned bike lane concept. Hear why the money spent on Coun. Matt Allard's Des Meurons bike lane dream set out a permanent red flag. Our proven results with the Assiniboine bike lane- forcing a City audit - and then saving Happyland Park help us to dig deeper into rigged "public consultations". 14:52 At least one business on Marion had no clue the City was asking the public to go along with taking away their adjacent street parking. Marty tells what the VP of Scotiabank said about the "bike lanes on Traverse?" surprise and how it's not clearly mentioned anywhere. We figure out how the city process is crafted to keep the bank in the dark until the last possible moment. Donate via Paypal https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/MartyGoldMedia The open house flaws so far: No estimate of lost parking spots. No bike user data. No consultation with affected businesses. No explanation of a Traverse bike lane proposal. AND THEN, ADD THIS: The bike lobby is against it. They claim that Traverse isn't in the actual area AT plan but another street is, and complain that city staff kept the 2021 switch SECRET from the open house. (Yes, TGCTS and the bike lobby agree on something.) Does Janice Lukes and the rest of council think any 'revised' plan they get will be based on proper informed feedback from residents? The real story here is- the bike lobby knows things that stakeholders and the public are kept in the dark about. Time for a Driver's Advocate, maybe? 29:11 A French newspaper shed light on how Allard and radical-left urbanists sell the media on how wonderful this plan is. But- the story doesn't mention... the Traverse bike lane. Marty describes how the plan will snarl inbound AM traffic on Goulet and significantly affect the neighborhood near the hospital- and disrupt important public services. Ryback exposed fake news about bike lane use. We list some information council must now provide to St. B. City staff claim the Norwood Grove Biz supports the new plan? The Biz concept map had no mention of Traverse BUT had an important disclaimer that's being ignored by the City to ram this through. TGCTS Facebook group reaction adds context about lying bike lobbyists, and about rampant bike theft. 52:51 Part 2- Councilors were told to take a deal with Tartan Towing after taxpayers paid over $1M for 'fake tows' - Rollins flip flopped on her EPC vote to accept it, and refused to explain why. Spirited Kenny raises a small ruckus about accountability to voters - "something's up". The media barely explained the issues - we laud Lukes and Browaty for asking great questions. 1:05:01 Russ Wyatt tried to prevent council from settling a few Police Headquarters lawsuits. Aside from 'fiscal hawk' Allard, he had no support. Council deadlocked on his motion for an inquiry as Wyatt attacked the Tory gov't. 1:13:30 Part 3- First, a CWE round up - the Sandy Bay school anti-drug event we did last week; Marty hosts the Winnipeg card on Friday night, be there! 1:23:00 Crime Courts and Public Safety- Police chief Danny Smyth delivered a sharp-tongued teardown on Substack to an LRSD study by an "independent researcher" - a police abolitionist. The Free Press scurried to deliver a 'he's a racist' rebuttal. As we report, the newspaper didn't correct their fake news that indigenous students in the study opposed cops in schools.

Episode 25 opens with Marty's memory of how kids at Winnipeg Hebrew School were sternly lectured they weren't in kindergarden anymore, and Spirited Kenny noting the discovery of a fifth dimension that's kinda mind-bending. 6:45 We make a few corrections to civic election information discussed in our last podcast - the actual number of robocalls made by the Glen Murray campaign on E-day is still an impressive number. We also relate a few other tips and insights from Marty's summary for TheJ.ca explaining why the chosen favorite of the elite went down to defeat. 12:15 Want to know what Winnipeg Free Press columnist Brent Bellamy thinks about investigative reporting? It sure affected the decision of voters to reject his pal Glen Murray but bitter Brent can't handle the truth, apparently. As Kenny points out - "I don't think how someone gets to the Osborne Safeway should really matter when it comes to how they run this city." You won't read in the newspaper why the WFP's urban visionary hates the way journalists did their job - but we'll tell you in this podcast, and tell how he described Murray's campaign manager- and Scott Gillingham's. 18:35 Coun. Cindy Gilroy complained the new Mayor turfed her from EPC. She never complained about Brian Bowman, did she. The other councilor de-EPC'd is Matt Allard of St. Boniface. We have an idea of something he has time to investigate now- how close is crime in St. B coming to the crisis in River Heights?- which we explore in Part 2. 25:23 Part 2 - With Gillingham taking over City Hall, the WPS sent a letter to River Heights saying that NOW, they're going to step up crime fighting in their area. We got a few interesting replies after we posted online 'what took so long?' you'll want to hear. Kenny explains why community watch programs are a great idea. 32:00 What's old is new again- the Integrated Warrant Unit was resurrected by the Province to help police keep Winnipeggers safe- so of course the Marxist radicals shrieked "racism!". We swing into the crime headlines, which illustrate that whether it's a block from the downtown cop shop (knifer in the library) or 2 blocks from City Hall (shooting that set a new record for homicides at 45), some warrant and other enforcement just might do some good. We also noticed something about 2 other recent murders the media didn't. And hear how many MORE murders would have been registered without modern trauma treatments rendered on-site. 50:00 Why don't people trust MSM? Look no further than CBC and CTV. Whose side are they on? Not reporting the details of a vile violent sexual assault and robbery of a 20 year old at a Pembina transit shelter on Friday night, and especially censoring the full description of the knife-wielding rapist, is a clue. Hear how the suspect was apparently complained about in the hours before the attack, and what Winnipeg mothers say about how unsafe Winnipeg Transit and the BRT line is. Winnipeg newsrooms actively obstruct public safety lest the wokesters bellow "racist!" at them. 58:08 A (nowadays) rare foray for us into provincial affairs - Wab Kinew and his NDP caucus have a problem with English proficiency standards being expected of nurses. There was an excellent suggestion online about how Wab should prove his point. We wrap up by talking about Remembrance Day and how shopping restrictions have changed in Manitoba in recent years.

With the pain of losing the Championship Playoff Final subsided somewhat, the Beesotted crew of Billy Grant, Dave Lane, Matt Allard and Jo Whelan assembled in court - the old Brentford Magistrates Court aka Verdict Cafe to be precise - to mull over the past few weeks and reflect on an exciting but ultimately disappointing ending to their promotion campaign. We harked back to the playoff final at Wembley to hear what Brentford fans had to say in the pub immediately after the Fulham match.And in full reflective mode, the crew called upon a load of football experts to throw their tuppence worth into the pot as to why they felt Brentford failed to make the step up to the so-called ‘promised land' - otherwise known as the Premier League. Caroline Barker from Sky Sports. Ryan Dylkes from the Second Tier Podcast. Ex Brentford player Marcus Bean all give us their thoughts on Brentford's performance at the Playoff Final and how they see the team progressing next season.  We also chatted to numbers man Ted Knutson from analytics company Statsbomb who gives a statisticians view on the playoff final as well as a few thoughts on the future of Brentford under the current regime (this a clip from an interview with Ted which will go live on PrideOfWest.London around Thursday 20th Aug)Plus we review all nine of Brentford's playoff losses - from Tranmere through to Huddersfield, Stoke, Boro and Yeovil - and ask the question “Where does the Fulham final fit in with regards Brentford's worst and least worst playoff loss?” And on a positive note, we look forward to the forthcoming season and throw some encouraging thoughts into the proverbial Brentford pot.

Coming out of the early-mid-season-late-early-season international break, Brentford should still be buoyed by the 2-2 draw at Middlesbrough and ready to put the Lions to the sword at Griffin Park on Saturday. With a plethora of A-team players limbering up in the B-team earlier this week, there could be some welcome fresh legs in contention soon, however, Millwall have had a decentish start to the campaign (well its better than ours!) and they're not heading west just for a the fun of a knees up on a barge or a zeppelin… it's shaping up to be a PROPER London derby on no mistake. Please we talk to James Blewett - Millwall Half Way Line (@MillwallJDB) - about The Lions' start to this season, George Saville, Tony Craig and the Millwall Zeppelin This week's podcast took place in the Old Packhorse on Chiswick Green: hosted by Dave Lane, with Billy The Bee, Savvy Bee and ‘Shed End' Matt Allard.

Bees fans were treated to a great bit of news this week when it was announced, as predicted on last week's Pride of West London Beesotted Podcast, that Alan Judge was set to sign a new contract at Brentford. Dave Lane, Savvy Bee, Matt Allard and The Dutchman hooked up in the Prince Blucher Twickenham Green to talk all things BFC, plus Video Technology, the full end of season Beesotted Social Club Line-up, Brexit and whether it is a good thing to have players picked to play for their country or not.

It's the battle of the two out of form Championship teams this weekend, when the Bees head to Norfolk to take on Norwich City, who have lost five on the spin. Brentford should be confident of an upset however, and if the comments made by the Canary on this week's podcast are anything to go by, Dean Smith's team will be heading home with a three point haul. This week's podcast was recorded deep, deep in THUGBY territory, but thanks to the staff at The Cabbage Patch in Twickenham for thief excellent hospitality. Guests this week are: Dave Lane, Matt Allard, Martin Holland, Nick Carthew and Savvy Bee #brentfordfc #norwich city

Blackburn are up next for Brentford as the international break has been put well and truly to bed. And for the Bees, its not been a bad window at all. Whilst the first team have had their slippers on, the B Team has gone on to beat Manchester United, Wigan and Dundalk in the past 7 days to really move some of their young players into contention for Championship team action. The Beesotted crew linked up in The George IV pub in Chiswick to shoot the breeze. And they chatted bout the new Brentford badge (aka Wasp-gate), the abolition of the idea of League 3 (The Whole Game Solution) and the contradiction of the football league fining teams for fielding youngsters in the CheckATrade trophy.

Brentford lost 2-0 at home to Fulham. The international break couldn't come quick enough for the Bees. They didn't have a terrible couple of months. But the loss to Fulham highlighted the fact that the teams wasn't quite ip for competing with the top 6 week-by-week.

Brentford are without a win in four matches going into the big West London derby against QPR - winning only one match away from home so far this season. Meanwhile, Rangers have lost only one of their last six league matches. The last time Brentford won at Loftus Road was in 1964. All the odds are pointing at an upset then. That would make Bees fans very happy.
