Long time no see, listeners!

In our first episode in two years we do something different. We have our first guest CO-HOST, Michel Durand-Wood or the "Elmwood Guy". He talks with Dylon about his thoughts on the October 26, 2022 Winnipeg election and urban/urbanism issues more generally.

Check out his "Dear Winnipeg" blog about infrastructure and municipal finance here: https://www.dearwinnipeg.com/ .

Stuff's bad, folks.

On this episode of the Prairie Outpost, we discuss the disastrous outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 in Winnipeg. Our healthcare system is on the brink.

If you live in Winnipeg, DON'T SOCIALIZE (in-person) with others outside the household, physically distance 2 metres (6 feet) apart, and wear a damn mask when outside the household.

We talk about how avoidable this was and what a good position Manitoba was in during the spring.

We move on to discuss some other provincial elections, Indigenous rights issues including the Mi'kmaq lobster fishery and the racist, terrorist assaults it's faced, and risks around the United States Presidential Election.

Following up a lot of heavy, bad news topics, we move on to lighter fare and discuss Halloween movies and the new season of Cobra Kai (set for release in early 2021).
