How to vote in the 2015 Canadian federal election
Posted 10 years agoHey fuzzies and scalies,
vincer here.
I prefer using this account to promote events that are happening in Manitoba and I promise to keep the political stuff to a minimum. It's just that there's a federal election for Canada happening on October 19th and I feel it's important to let everyone know how to be able to vote.
To get yourself registered, follow the link here. It only takes a few minutes to do all the steps: https://ereg.elections.ca/CWelcome.aspx
From there, you'll receive a voter registration card in the mail that tells you where and when to vote. I really recommend voting early (October 9, 10, 11 or 12) to skip long line-ups if you wait till the 19th.
Here's the ID you need with you to vote. Make sure to also bring the voter registration card you receive in the mail. http://www.elections.ca/content2.as.....dex&lang=e
The most important thing is to have ID that matches your current address.
And that's it! :)
If you have any other questions regarding how to vote, feel free to give me (
vincer) a PM and I'll gladly help you out. :)

Posted 14 years agoHey all!
On Saturday, September 24th,
furgeta will be hosting a little furmeet at his place. It'll have some board games, music, art jamming, socializing, fursuit building and a general good time. Feel free to bring some drinks or snacks. If you plan on drinking, please supply your own alcohol. Pizza might be ordered and if you want to have some, make sure to bring some money to pitch in.
Something I should mention is that Furgeta is also kind enough to host many meets but I will mention that he would really prefer it if the people attending the furmeets would help clean up during and after the meet is over. You're also welcomed to spend the night at his place if you need to.
A few hours before the meet, some of us will be playing some soccer at a location near
furgeta's place (
paulshep's great idea!).
If you're interested in kicking a ball around or spending a good night with some good people, feel free to give me (

I'm wondering how much interest there is in having a furmeet in Winnipeg between September 2nd to the 4th. We've got a Manitoban fur (

Also, there is a play that will be presented at the beginning of September (same time period mentioned earlier) that is called Wicked. Going out to see it could definitely work out.
Feel free to post a reply to this journal to share some thoughts on this!

Details for Assiniboine Park (Winnipeg) furmeet
Posted 14 years agoHey everyone.
Here's an excerpt that
furgeta posted on the ManitobaFurs forum:
Hey all.
From reading all the ideas and polls, we've cobbled together the following. All who are interested in either weekend shall meet up between 1:00 and 2:00 pm, weather permitting. Rav has provided an easy to follow link for a meet up place:
http://maps.google.ca/maps?client=o.....56.21,,0,13.14
May 22 - Suggested Fursuit Walking followed by food from a restaurant; no aftermeet hosting unless somebody indicates as such. All we need is for some folks to say "Yes, I'll be there!" There's an 80% chance I can make this one. Regardless, it may be a good idea to see Kung Fu Panda 2 afterwards. ^^
May 28 - Picnic with frisbee, and other sports. I can bring my volleyball net and ball; PaulShep, if he so inclined, could bring his soccerball.
We can meet up at my place afterward for 7:00 pm. Bring snacks, drinks, and money for ordering food. BYOB but ONLY if you don't make yourself sick with it.
I'm not sure if myself will be able to make these meets but I'm sure that a nice friendly time will occur there.

Winnipeg Furry Christmas Party
Posted 15 years agoThe following message was written by
mudgeon :
We missed having a Thanksgiving pot-luck this year, but we're not going to miss Christmas! Saturday the 4th of December, 4 p.m. until whenever o'clock at
Mudgeon's. Last year I was pretty tired and zombie-like through the whole thing; I'll try and get enough sleep ahead of time, I promise.
So start calling out what you're planning to bring! You don't have to make a huge dish to feed everyone - believe me, there will be left-overs. If your dish needs a quick warm-up in/on the stove or microwave, no problem! But if your dish needs a lot of preparation and cooking time... we had stuff last year that never got touched because it wasn't ready or arrived late. Ready-to-eat stuff is preferred.
If three or four people want to coordinate bringing a whole lot of soda and chips, that would make my life easier! (Even better if we can coordinate dropping off the the soda at least a day before the event, so I can cool it in the fridge.)
**If you have folding chairs, bring them!** Also, I have lots of plastic cutlery already. Don't worry about plates and stuff, I'll cover that. Does anyone have a whiteboard we could use?
Console gaming will be in the upstairs computer room - there's a 27" CRT tv. (Unless the guys with the LCD projector attend this year - anyone know if they're coming?) Anything goes except DDR. For music - if you need to hook up anything, just ask, as not all my equipment's set up intuitively. (I'm also interested in raiding folks' mp3 collections; mine is tiny.)
One small request: If you're throwing out a cup, can or bottle that's still got some liquid in it, please empty it in the sink first! Otherwise clean-up from last year was a snap. :)
Gift exchange! This is something we do each year. **Participation is optional.** We know that a lot of people have a tight budget, but if you feel like it, find something for no more than about $15 and wrap it up anonymously. Then we'll do an exchange thing. Actually - does anyone have a good idea for a game or method we can use? In the past we've used the pick-an-unclaimed-gift-with-up-to-three-steals game, but it would be nice to try something new.
To have the address of the party, give a private message to

mudgeon :We missed having a Thanksgiving pot-luck this year, but we're not going to miss Christmas! Saturday the 4th of December, 4 p.m. until whenever o'clock at
Mudgeon's. Last year I was pretty tired and zombie-like through the whole thing; I'll try and get enough sleep ahead of time, I promise. So start calling out what you're planning to bring! You don't have to make a huge dish to feed everyone - believe me, there will be left-overs. If your dish needs a quick warm-up in/on the stove or microwave, no problem! But if your dish needs a lot of preparation and cooking time... we had stuff last year that never got touched because it wasn't ready or arrived late. Ready-to-eat stuff is preferred.
If three or four people want to coordinate bringing a whole lot of soda and chips, that would make my life easier! (Even better if we can coordinate dropping off the the soda at least a day before the event, so I can cool it in the fridge.)
**If you have folding chairs, bring them!** Also, I have lots of plastic cutlery already. Don't worry about plates and stuff, I'll cover that. Does anyone have a whiteboard we could use?
Console gaming will be in the upstairs computer room - there's a 27" CRT tv. (Unless the guys with the LCD projector attend this year - anyone know if they're coming?) Anything goes except DDR. For music - if you need to hook up anything, just ask, as not all my equipment's set up intuitively. (I'm also interested in raiding folks' mp3 collections; mine is tiny.)
One small request: If you're throwing out a cup, can or bottle that's still got some liquid in it, please empty it in the sink first! Otherwise clean-up from last year was a snap. :)
Gift exchange! This is something we do each year. **Participation is optional.** We know that a lot of people have a tight budget, but if you feel like it, find something for no more than about $15 and wrap it up anonymously. Then we'll do an exchange thing. Actually - does anyone have a good idea for a game or method we can use?

vincerFurry Halloween Party in Winnipeg
Posted 15 years agoHello, local furs!
There's a great party that's going on at
furgeta's place on October 30th for Halloween.
It's recommended that you contribute something to the party (some food or drinks) and dressing up in fursuit or any costume is definitely encouraged! It's also BYOB. There might be an order for pizza to be delivered so do bring some cash if you want to join in for that.
There will be some socializing, board gaming, video gaming (I'm bringing my XBox 360) and some art jamming. From my personal experience with the local crowd, the best furmeets I've attended were last year's Halloween party and the New Year's party so if you can only make it to a meet once in a while, this is definitely one to check out!
For more details, please give me (
vincer) a private message and I'll answer you shortly.
