Winnipeg

The Winnipeg Police Service is investigating a house fire in the Tyndall Park Neighbourhood after the body of an adult male was found late Thursday night.

My condolences to the family of that unfortunate man.

Hey Lemmypeg,

I already posted to the other site but I thought a heads up here about a local company, InfraredHeat.ca would be good. They claim to be a reseller of Ducoterra infrared radiant heating panels.

Many months back, I ordered some panels, paid the full amount, and have been waiting ever since. There have nothing but excuses, and when I finally asked for a refund, they cut off all communication.

Looking at their Google reviews, it's a flood of 1-star ratings with customers sharing similar experiences.

I understand businesses can hit snags, but this seems like a whole different ball game. Just thought I'd share my experience and caution anyone considering buying from them.

I'm looking into what I can do next. If you've had a similar experience or have advice on dealing with this, I'd appreciate hearing from you.

Stay warm and stay safe.

4:21 p.m. CDT Wednesday 26 July 2023 Conditions are favourable for the development of severe thunderstorms which may produce tornadoes. Strong winds, large hail and heavy rain are also possible.

Ideal ingredients for significant tornadoes are coming together this afternoon.

A very warm, very moist and therefore, very unstable airmass over southern Manitoba combined with strong upper-level winds and low-level boundaries support severe supercell thunderstorms with favourable ingredients for significant tornadoes.

These severe thunderstorms are expected to develop late afternoon/early evening and track east towards the Ontario border.

Go to https://weather.gc.ca/ for the most up to date alerts and forecasts or on the Weather Can App.

Use #MBSTORM for reporting severe weather when it is safe to do so.

This is a dangerous and potentially life-threatening situation.

Be prepared for severe weather. Take cover immediately, if threatening weather approaches.

In the event of a tornado, or if a tornado warning is issued for your area, it is recommended you take the following actions: Go indoors to a room on the lowest floor, away from outside walls and windows, such as a basement, bathroom, stairwell or interior closet. Leave mobile homes, vehicles, tents, trailers and other temporary or free-standing shelter, and move to a strong building if you can. As a last resort, lie in a low spot and protect your head from flying debris. Lightning kills and injures Canadians every year. Remember, when thunder roars, go indoors!

Tornado watches are issued when atmospheric conditions are favourable for the development of thunderstorms that could produce tornadoes.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to [email protected] or tweet reports using #MBStorm.

[batman voice] storm's coming

I realize the irony, but the cell phone still works ;)

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

To the Corydon Comets U14 boys team, who won the under 14 boys city championship this morning at John Bloomberg sports centre with a decisive 6-1 win over South Winnipeg.

Edit: it was soccer

Starts tomorrow. Weather is nice, so why not be a little weird, eh?

The Pirates of Notre Dame Ave say...

Let your anime flag fly Winnipeg!

Wife and I just watched the first episode of this season's Amazing Race Canada. The race started in Winnipeg, and it looks like the contestants spent a grand total of 35 minutes here before spending the rest of this leg in Calgary. It was kind of cool seeing the city on TV, but I can't help but feel like we got done dirty. They could have easily had more challenges here to show off our great city but instead we got to see Calgary's library and some douche hipster bar.

Is there a store that sells a wide variety of bitters? Liquormart effectively has Angostura in three varieties, and Fernet Branca but that's it
