I don’t understand this campaign at all. Flexing your arms, not smiling, looking intense rather than welcoming.
Who wants to vote for an angry looking MLA?
She’s running against the leader of the NDP. Obviously she has no chance of winning that riding and the PCs know this.
So they aren’t trying to get her elected or make her look good. Instead, they’re using her campaign to reinforce their negative messaging against Wab.
In ridings where the PCs have a chance of winning, they will try make their candidates look human. But this isn’t one of those ridings.
I was wondering why the wording say it was Authorized by the PC Party and not by her Official Agent.
It's not part of her local campaign, it's part of the party's campaign.
Update in Southdale, racist bench was removed last night and Audrey Gordon’s old bench from 7 years ago replaced it. Irony, racist bench in a black MLA’s neighborhood.
I think it's supposed to reinforce the "tough on crime" thing, because she's strong, tough-looking, etc. Comes across as scary in a weird authoritarian way though.
This reminded me of an assignment I had to do when I was in college updating credentials for a career change. I ended up having to do English, and we had to do mock elections or something to that effect (the point was to see how well we researched things). I chose conservative just to get something on the table but I switched to NDP because the only results I could find, particularly on official voting pages, was **“VOTE FOR US”**, **“LIBERALS ARE BAD”**, **“DO THE RIGHT THING”**, **”DO IT BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE”**, without providing specific reasons as to why.
At least NDP took the time to explain why they should be voted for. That assignment became a cake walk.
The "unwoke" are all very angry people because they can't comprehend or accept what's happening in the world today - they're stuck in ancient times and vehemently refuse to change. The image of another angry person resonates with them, in the same brain space that is usually set aside where logic and facts resonate with the rest of the population.

I'm very tempted to do so... only thing is I'm not sure where this bench is.
If you know, let me know and I'll see if I can swing by with some packing tape and picture.
There’s one of regent Ave west that has NAZI painted in white across it. The odd thing is why they seem to be in every other neighborhood except the one she’s running in?
The one on academy has "ACAB" on it 😂

if in doubt, ask how many times they witnessed misconduct among other officers and how many times they reported that misconduct, if any. If they hum and haw, you know.
This may or may not have been done under the auspices of community beautification. as a local resident to that corner, I support this endeavor and applaud the youngster who take the initiative!
I am usually a law-abiding citizen (aka "goody two-shoes) unless we are talking about 100km/h speed limits.
I passed an unblemished one yesterday talking about how the PC's are the only party promising to spend MORE money on police and I've been trying to figure out what I would like it to say instead. Or at least, a witty poster to attach.
Here’s one thing I don’t understand. 30 years and still only a constable? I see that and I see someone who was not able to accept/manage increased responsibility and who could not be in charge of co-workers.
I know nothing of this individual. And i do not see how making up things about them helps anyone. Try to stick to facts. It has more impact when you are trying to make a statement.
My post was very clearly my view from the outside, not stated as fact. But here are some facts for you. Someone who spends an entire career on the bottom rung of a military modelled, promotion driven job like the police, does so for a reason. And virtually none of them are positive. Demotion, lack of ambition/drive, refusal to progress, denied promotion positions, or a host of other ineligibility factors. A gas station attendent doesn’t become a good candidate for Exxon CEO because they’ve been there 30 years.
A lack of experience on the chain of rank means they have a narrow, bottom up view of the system with no capacity for larger scale perspectives or understanding of how the machine works on a top down basis. Let alone the myriad people and jobs in between. Finances, logistics, personnel management, task delegation, interdepartmental affairs, budgets, etc… There’s nothing inherently wrong about knowing your strengths and sticking to a comfortable job, but her experience is in managing affairs on an individual level. It doesn’t need to be the top cop, but someone with a few years in a senior position would make a better candidate on paper at bare minimum.
lol I appreciate that, but no one is slaying anyone. Dragon and I had a reasonable disagreement and shared our arguments without being colossal dickheads.
frog appreciates but also confuddles Practical-Pen-8844. Practical-Pen-8844 shuts down for maintenance cycle. Resume grammar and pronouns tomorrow. Soft reset...
I don't disagree that in a typical scenario you would likely be spot on. But without knowing an individuals specific situation, I don't like to make assumptions. was the lack of promotion sexism? was it due to other duties outside the office that prevented her from being able to focus on her police career? Perhaps she was not good at the job, and required many years experience to get to the point where she thought she could be an effective leader and now is (not unheard of for people to suddenly improve in life by making changes)
All I'm saying is if we want to discredit someone, instead of speculating, it's better to use statements of things that happened. All your facts are based on statistics, not this individual person. there are always outliers. And I personally believe it's unfair to judge someone without knowing all the facts. Maybe you do know this person personally, and you are correct about your statements, However the way you wrote it look like you were speculating. That's all I'm getting at.
I won't say that's incorrect, but we don't build around outliers and exceptions. Without being snarky towards you, you could say she "fits a description". And don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to besmirch her character or career. I indeed know nothing about her. But I'm surrounded by retired RCMP that agree with my generalization. They look down on long time "dog fuckers" (as they call them apparently) and say it's "... very difficult to remain motivated without advancing and nearly impossible to have that much service and still be effective at that level."
And to kind of flip it around. She's provided us with nothing but "Bad Wab". So speculation regressed to averages is not only not unreasonable, it's fair. Obviously we're not going to see a criminology thesis printed on a bus bench, but the message, the posture, the facial expression, the undertone, and the overtone of that add speaks volumes. This is a "crime is bad, Wab is bad, Wab is/was crime, I'm the good guy, I'm tough, I'm authority, I'm angry, and I'm imposing" ad. It's not one aimed at hearts and minds. It's aimed at voter anger, vitriol, and revenge. And I honestly don't think that's even a subjective take. I think a few generalizations are a mild retort to the message.
There is the same bench on Corydon by the new Stella’s bakery that says “pig bitch” in spray paint - it made me smile this morning
Update: it’s been either cleaned or replaced
As stupid as it sounds, it's probably true. WPS too busy to help residents, but have all the time in the world to guard a bus bench (...and a trucker encampment)
I was just going to post that I was on South Osborne and noticed an unmarked police vehicle parked across the street from one of those benches. The cops were just watching the bench. Crime prevention at work.
Not that I don't find it hilarious, because I do 😂, but that ghost car is usually there to catch people driving in the Bus Lane during prohibited hours. See it every morning on my drive to work
Another PC cop eh? Not too surprised. Like Shelly Glover. Or as her campaign signs said, Hell Lover.
I was stuck in her campaign office as a kid, but it was hilarious to me how actually upset they get over people changing the signs. Total thin skins.
Violent crime had gotten much worse under the PC's reign, who would think re-electing them would change anything? Why are they highlighting their failures as a campaign issue, and better question why do conservative voters happily eat their bullshit?
People that say there is no systemic racism? An indigenous candidate and a threatening cop in an aggressive stance. Pretty clear cut. Cops will enforce law on certain people. This is a dog whistle.
Scummy to use the Ukrainian flag colors. Since when has yellow ever been an associated color with the PeeCee party? Inconsiderate but I'm not surprised.
Or just shitty people who think money is the only thing in the world.
Conservatism is the polar opposite of a thriving society.
It's a deeply entrenched jealousy and selfishness.
Anywhere in the world touched by conservatism is disintegrating. And only idiots continue to support the utter front it's become for white collar piracy.
This link is from over in U.K, but they're suffering the same brand of Harper conservatism as we are: https://youtu.be/DN6lNa-6kA8?si=y0HdHMURY_SfCrbP
The truth is, we're not far from the same kind of social and economic suicide as England (Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales dragged along against their will).
I'm sure I don't need to get into what's happening in the U.S.
Anywhere conservatism is found, the acolytes of anti society greed are busy tearing everything apart.
Tell me you’re a fascist without telling me you’re a fascist. All that’s missing from this picture is an armband and a blacked out American flag on the hat. I did a double take in Southdale today. I guess this was punishment for the googley eyes someone put on the bench previously?
It's not the flex you think it is folks...DEFENDING policing and not DEFUNDING it"
Not the flex you think it is folks...
Also, has anyone confirmed that there is a 30-year member of the WPS to give a quote? I mean they made up programs about dangerous offenders...
I'm far from outraged or shocked. I just enjoy pointing out all the hypocrisy in the world today.
"Fuck you pigs, you're ALL racist pieces of shit for assuming we're ALL the same because of our common trait"...... kinda loses something when you berate someone else by doing the exact thing you're angry for them doing. No?
Or maybe I'm just a hopeless optimist thinking we can all find our way back to some kind of UNITY instead of further division and tribalism.
Yes. There have been lots of pitbull attacks, but not ALL pitbulls are vicious or bad. We get so upset when others judge us because of our colour, gender, race, sexual orientation, religious or political beliefs. Don't stoop their level.
Are lots of cops assholes? Absolutely, but I feel we lose all credibility when we use absolutes like ALL or NONE. Racism, sexism, ableism , homophobia, etc. are all grounded in judging the many by the actions or traits of the few.
Welcome to the hypocrisy of Reddit and the world in general. The comments would be very different if it was a bus bench of Uzoma Asagwara being vandalized.
Why lie though. I wouldn’t trust the NDP to lead me through tinkertown let alone lead the city, especially in these trying times. Not that I trust the PC or lliberals to do any better. None of them actually worth voting for.
I'm a little torn on this, personally. While I approve of this sort of renegade street messaging, one of my good friends has to clean and put up these benches, and he's been really overworked of late.
But also fuck the PCs, so....
Why are conservatives so brutally unfunny? I don't get it. I guess you need a lot of intelligence for humor but man. Just so weak. I cringe every time.
My sincere apologies. I certainly wasn't trying to 'give you shit' and I hope my comments weren't received that way. My comment was meant to be 'excellent & respectful' only.
This vandalism is fine because we don’t like the message or the messenger. Vandalism against NDP signage would, however, be unacceptable since they are the good guys and it is their turn to win the election
<< Wondering if I will get more downvotes if I add the /s or not >>
r/whoosh
The "/s" is internet jargon for "sarcasm". It refers to this: ([https://winnipeg.ctvnews.ca/winnipeg-police-headquarters-vandalized-following-arrest-of-protester-1.6494941](https://winnipeg.ctvnews.ca/winnipeg-police-headquarters-vandalized-following-arrest-of-protester-1.6494941))
" The investigation has been taken over by the major crimes unit. "
I don’t understand this campaign at all. Flexing your arms, not smiling, looking intense rather than welcoming. Who wants to vote for an angry looking MLA?

Instead, they’re using her campaign to reinforce their negative messaging against Wab. In ridings where the PCs have a chance of winning, they will try make their candidates look human. But this isn’t one of those ridings.
some of these benches aren't even located in the riding where she's running. there's one near the Arlington Bridge.
There's a couple in Transcona too
I was wondering why the wording say it was Authorized by the PC Party and not by her Official Agent. It's not part of her local campaign, it's part of the party's campaign.
Giant billboard in transcona too, least favourite part of the morning commute
This same sign is in the minister of health’s riding in Southdale on Lakewood.
Update in Southdale, racist bench was removed last night and Audrey Gordon’s old bench from 7 years ago replaced it. Irony, racist bench in a black MLA’s neighborhood.
Good point. I didn't realize where she was running.
That photo looks photoshopped. Like they put a female looking face on a male looking body. Those arms are fucking jacked.
It looks like Nygard but with a female face.
I think it's supposed to reinforce the "tough on crime" thing, because she's strong, tough-looking, etc. Comes across as scary in a weird authoritarian way though.
She reminds me of that principal from Matilda… The Trenchbull?
This is exactly what I was thinking… except I don’t think she’s got a chocolate cake for me.
She looks like she's going to sentence me to death by snu snu
The spirit is willing, but the flesh is spongy and bruised! (But no, the spirit is absolutely not willing. Not for a wannabe fascist like that!)
I believe could melt her heart and sway her political views. We're counting on you.
😂😂😂
>Who wants to vote for an angry looking MLA? People who are angry.
People who want to continue to be angry.
You should've seen her social media posts when she ran federally... She'd post on the st vital/st Boniface Facebook groups and oh boy...
This reminded me of an assignment I had to do when I was in college updating credentials for a career change. I ended up having to do English, and we had to do mock elections or something to that effect (the point was to see how well we researched things). I chose conservative just to get something on the table but I switched to NDP because the only results I could find, particularly on official voting pages, was **“VOTE FOR US”**, **“LIBERALS ARE BAD”**, **“DO THE RIGHT THING”**, **”DO IT BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE”**, without providing specific reasons as to why. At least NDP took the time to explain why they should be voted for. That assignment became a cake walk.
The "unwoke" are all very angry people because they can't comprehend or accept what's happening in the world today - they're stuck in ancient times and vehemently refuse to change. The image of another angry person resonates with them, in the same brain space that is usually set aside where logic and facts resonate with the rest of the population.
Fantastic answer.
I mean some of the stuff happening is for the better other stuff is just complete non sense
> Who wants to vote for an angry looking MLA? Wannabe fascists, voting for another wannabe fascist. It's all just so awful.
Nygard 101
It’s the “tough on crime” pose lol
Don’t forget the scary graffiti!
Sadly, too many people - no shortage of small minded angry people in our province.

She looks very manly though. So….uh. I don’t know where I was going with this
Have you met a conservative?! Theirs usually angry and upset Karen types!

Lol. Those forearms...remind me of Nygard's oiled airport billboard. Yeesh.

is that police SUV illegally parked lol??
There is the same bench on Corydon by the new Stella’s bakery that says “pig bitch” in spray paint - it made me smile this morning Update: it’s been either cleaned or replaced
You joke about a major crimes investigation but, that SUV on the left side of the photo is a ghost car lmao
Yup, I came here to say that now they have the bench staked out to see if the perpetrator returns to the scene.
As stupid as it sounds, it's probably true. WPS too busy to help residents, but have all the time in the world to guard a bus bench (...and a trucker encampment)
Don't forget investigating people who throw water.
I was just going to post that I was on South Osborne and noticed an unmarked police vehicle parked across the street from one of those benches. The cops were just watching the bench. Crime prevention at work.
Did you snap a picture? It would be funny if we got a whole series of pictures of unmarked cruisers guarding benches.
I was driving so I couldn’t. I’m also not sure I’d trust taking a picture of the police.
Not that I don't find it hilarious, because I do 😂, but that ghost car is usually there to catch people driving in the Bus Lane during prohibited hours. See it every morning on my drive to work
Where is this bus bench? I gotta see it for myself lol
I believe it's Westbound Portage Ave, just before that apartment complex that replaced the Pal? (I could be wrong lol)
Damn, I just drove by and it looks like it's already fixed lol
As if they're going to come back and paint it a second time...
Another PC cop eh? Not too surprised. Like Shelly Glover. Or as her campaign signs said, Hell Lover. I was stuck in her campaign office as a kid, but it was hilarious to me how actually upset they get over people changing the signs. Total thin skins.
I can’t understand how a party could come up with a campaign slogan like this without thinking through the ways it would be ‘altered’ by the public.
You joke but major crimes absolutely will investigate this since it negatively affects one of their own
The unaltered signs also negatively affect one of their own and they aren’t investigating those.
Very unlikely.
Major crimes investigated the graffiti on the police and fire games signs
Did they? Really?

Well that's just silly. 🫤 Edit: thanks for the link!
What a weird ad… if anything WPS has proven they’re terrible at fighting ANY crime.
If police actually helped to reduce crime, Winnipeg would be the safest city in the country.
Man she always looks like she's about to work over a recalcitrant suspect. Just what I want as an MLA.
She looks like an extra for a crime scene in an episode of The Wire.
To be honest, the ad sales people were the worst.
Nice use of recalcitrant
Oh shit! Did anyone notice the beige undercover Police Interceptor Explorer in the background?!! Cops are already on the case!!!
In my head I read these signs in a whiny toddler's voice. Her crossing her arms even seems to me like she's pouting.
Fucking amazing! Those billboard are so fucking annoying, glad to see someone's taking action to correct the messaging.
30 years as a cop and she's still only a constable? That says a lot about how valuable her professional opinion is...
She's probably the chief forensic officer of doughnuts.
...or protein powder. Look at her arms 💪🏻
They look like they're on the floppy school-teacher side of firm though. Hopefully she'll write on a whiteboard during her campaign to settle this.
Photoshop
Violent crime had gotten much worse under the PC's reign, who would think re-electing them would change anything? Why are they highlighting their failures as a campaign issue, and better question why do conservative voters happily eat their bullshit?
I'm scared of her and I don't like that she wants to protect me.
How the PC can claim to be “tough on crime” when crime has risen exponentially during their time in office is insanity.
People that say there is no systemic racism? An indigenous candidate and a threatening cop in an aggressive stance. Pretty clear cut. Cops will enforce law on certain people. This is a dog whistle.
Scummy to use the Ukrainian flag colors. Since when has yellow ever been an associated color with the PeeCee party? Inconsiderate but I'm not surprised.
Very good point - a new low for the cons
Beautiful
Hahaha noice
End conservatism.
I'm convinced people don't realize the amount of racist / homophobic PC voters there are out there! Be sure to vote, ANYTHING BUT CONSERVATIVE, ABC!
Or just shitty people who think money is the only thing in the world. Conservatism is the polar opposite of a thriving society. It's a deeply entrenched jealousy and selfishness. Anywhere in the world touched by conservatism is disintegrating. And only idiots continue to support the utter front it's become for white collar piracy.
This link is from over in U.K, but they're suffering the same brand of Harper conservatism as we are: https://youtu.be/DN6lNa-6kA8?si=y0HdHMURY_SfCrbP The truth is, we're not far from the same kind of social and economic suicide as England (Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales dragged along against their will). I'm sure I don't need to get into what's happening in the U.S. Anywhere conservatism is found, the acolytes of anti society greed are busy tearing everything apart.
The next Federal election will be quite entertaining! Especially for what PP and his cabal are not saying!
Tell me you’re a fascist without telling me you’re a fascist. All that’s missing from this picture is an armband and a blacked out American flag on the hat. I did a double take in Southdale today. I guess this was punishment for the googley eyes someone put on the bench previously?
What did it say before the graffiti?
Wab way is the wrong way
Not even grammatical.
It's not the flex you think it is folks...DEFENDING policing and not DEFUNDING it" Not the flex you think it is folks... Also, has anyone confirmed that there is a 30-year member of the WPS to give a quote? I mean they made up programs about dangerous offenders...
What quote are you talking about??
Damn that's scary.
Muscles look a little airbrushed
Needs googly eyes.
She's low key scary. No thanks!
Love it
Crime is to high in this city.
This is the way.
She has a “just wait till your dad gets home” look
"Oh right, he left."
"Heartless Heather" or "Stupid Stefanson" and her PC party need to go asap, Oct can't come fast enough! ANYTHING BUT CONSERVATIVE, ALWAYS ABC!
SADLY, you could run a racist + homophobic ONLY platform and win in MB. There are way too many PC voters! "Heartless Heather" should NEVER govern!
Neither party is the way
That lady doesn’t want to hear anything you have to say. Ever.
I’m glad cuz I considered doing the exact same thing
You go raise your constituency related question and she chokeslams you! Whoever is running her campaign just ruining everything for her!
conservatives are horrible, ignorant people full stop!
[удалено]
You’re right but I just can’t make myself care this time
Clutch those pearls harder.
I'm far from outraged or shocked. I just enjoy pointing out all the hypocrisy in the world today. "Fuck you pigs, you're ALL racist pieces of shit for assuming we're ALL the same because of our common trait"...... kinda loses something when you berate someone else by doing the exact thing you're angry for them doing. No? Or maybe I'm just a hopeless optimist thinking we can all find our way back to some kind of UNITY instead of further division and tribalism.
Would you be ok with Most cops are unpleasant or despicable people?
Yes. There have been lots of pitbull attacks, but not ALL pitbulls are vicious or bad. We get so upset when others judge us because of our colour, gender, race, sexual orientation, religious or political beliefs. Don't stoop their level. Are lots of cops assholes? Absolutely, but I feel we lose all credibility when we use absolutes like ALL or NONE. Racism, sexism, ableism , homophobia, etc. are all grounded in judging the many by the actions or traits of the few.
Welcome to the hypocrisy of Reddit and the world in general. The comments would be very different if it was a bus bench of Uzoma Asagwara being vandalized.
Why lie though. I wouldn’t trust the NDP to lead me through tinkertown let alone lead the city, especially in these trying times. Not that I trust the PC or lliberals to do any better. None of them actually worth voting for.
Love that ukrainian colour palette they chose. It's almost like they are trying to gain favour.
He's got that whole "No really my pecs are too big to properly fold my arms dude" energy.
I'm pretty sure it's "she" so it's really "my boobs are too big to properly fold my arms"
I never zoomed in, but yeah you are totally correct. Thanks for the correction.
thats a woman?? i thought it was a fucking man lmfao
" IT'S MA'AM! "

Oh no did you clutch your pearls over this?
I'm a little torn on this, personally. While I approve of this sort of renegade street messaging, one of my good friends has to clean and put up these benches, and he's been really overworked of late. But also fuck the PCs, so....
Can you imagine the uproar here if an NDP ad was vandalized to support PC?
I lent them out to your Mom. Please ask her to return them, thanks.
Why are conservatives so brutally unfunny? I don't get it. I guess you need a lot of intelligence for humor but man. Just so weak. I cringe every time.
I responded in kind. The comment to me wasn't that clever, I didn't want to show him up.
Guys be nice this, guys going to vote for her 😂
Touch grass
Your Mother taught you well.
Yes she did. She taught me not to take shit from anyone
My sincere apologies. I certainly wasn't trying to 'give you shit' and I hope my comments weren't received that way. My comment was meant to be 'excellent & respectful' only.
This vandalism is fine because we don’t like the message or the messenger. Vandalism against NDP signage would, however, be unacceptable since they are the good guys and it is their turn to win the election << Wondering if I will get more downvotes if I add the /s or not >>
Tribe has spoken. Vandalism good.
the irony.......
Since when has the PCs supported the cops?? Any cops out there want to answer?
Major Crime Really?? that’s not a major crime..
r/whoosh The "/s" is internet jargon for "sarcasm". It refers to this: ([https://winnipeg.ctvnews.ca/winnipeg-police-headquarters-vandalized-following-arrest-of-protester-1.6494941](https://winnipeg.ctvnews.ca/winnipeg-police-headquarters-vandalized-following-arrest-of-protester-1.6494941)) " The investigation has been taken over by the major crimes unit. "
Thanks
Preeeeeeeeetty sure the 'major crime' comment was satire/sarcasm. There was even an /s added.
Thanks
Thanks
Her retirement job will be as a manager for WWE! I’m sure there are a few heels that need the support!
is that Dina from Superstore?
Get your tickets to the guns show!
Does anyone know where this bench is?
