You know one big change I’m hearing in Winnipeg? Ukrainian. Never heard that in the city except in cultural activities. Now, it’s at Starbucks.Put up an advertisement on Kijiji, the local ad space, paid $6 to host it. Just trying it out and we’ll see what happens. If I paid $10 for a beer before or $3 for a coffee, I can spend $6 on an ad.Went to a show on Saturday night, a metal show. Haven’t been in ages. One of the guitarists has been on my podcast years before, and I follow their drummer on Instagram. He’s phenomenal.Did you get the latest newsletter? Trying out the ChatGPT-route once again.
