This is a big social issue all across the country. Winnipeg is just opening one. This is the new "spend big" scenario? I was hoping this time around we'd put a bigger social foot forward but it all seems to be the old money knobs being turned the same way they always have. The bullshit loss alone from Ford's private plane fiasco could have been used for this. What a waste. The people suffer over commerce and economy yet again.

Please note the following:
* All chatrooms are linked together. If you join one room your messages will be copied to the other platforms.
* Matrix is an open source and potentially distributed chat protocol. The matrix room listed is hosted on matrix.org, a somewhat centralized hub for a lot of currently public rooms. Though the protocol itself is free, libre and open source, the deployment of the protocol resembles a centralized service. This may be fixed in the future with the deployment of independent servers.
* Be aware that both Telegram and Discord are centralized proprietary platforms and do not necessarily protect your rights nor privacy while simultaneously giving power to corporations.
