You've yet to hear a reasonable argument? Have you not read anything posted on social media, reddit, comment sections in papers? Nearly everyone is against opening up the intersection. If you want a reasonable argument the easiest and most vital issue is opening up the intersection will absolutely kill traffic flow during rush hours. Unlike other cities we don't have a proper infrastructure of getting people from one end to the other without hitting dozens of lights. For myself my commute absolutely requires for me to go through downtown and whenever a car stalls or any sort of even minor road repairs absolutely cripples the commute and it can take me up to 90 minutes to get home. Another reasonable argument is safety, it's bad enough avoiding the "riff raff" going down Portage who jump between cars or jaywalk during green lights. Another reasonable argument is the idea of having patios and people hanging out at that intersection is laughable... the wind frequently is way to strong to sit down and enjoy anything. I have to close my car windows so that my parking pass and anything in my car doesn't blow away... I can't imagine trying to eat and drink with that wind. Lots of reasons to keep it close. The idea that opening it will bring tourists or increase the popularity of downtown because it will be a gateway between the forks and Portage is such a far fetched dream it's ridiculous. Instead of investing millions in a pipe dream... why not focus on doing something that *may* actual increase downtown popularity such as banning pan handling, stronger enforcement on drunks wandering around, close down Portage Place ASAP and change it into something else that doesn't have a food court, increase police presence etc.... The whole idea of opening the intersection is purely Bowman wanting to leave his legacy and all reports have shown it has been a bad idea and it's obvious on why he's trying to keep everything hidden from the public because if their was transparency he would of been absolutely blasted by all the voters for such a poor idea. Bowman won because Judy was a moron , the guy had the friendly looking smile (didnt' look like a con man like Katz) and people were duped into thinking he was a good guy. Sadly nobody of any merit is running against him this election so he may win out of best out of the worst. If Browaty had decided to run for Mayor he would of won by a massive land slide... he actually has a track record of doing positive things for the community and the people. He actually has trust from his voters.

Someone posted that same quote on Reddit. Maybe wheeler can take his show independent, that way you can mostly have the freedom to say whatever you want.

Bad decision in what way? Portage and main should be closed off and I assume he is doing this to take away any kind of fringe voters between him and Jenny.

I've seen many seniors working fast food jobs, construction, retail and all sorts of jobs.

Have you guys ever been to the states? I see lots of seniors working all types of jobs.

My memory of Bowman was that he disappeared from games when they had him going deep. He thrived in Edmonton on quick passes that were 5-8 yards out I'm which he then tacked on an extra 10-15 yac.

The guy was a loose cannon so I think most people are assuming that it was more of a self destruction rather then an accident...

So Max Hall the coke head and Marve the woman beater.... I guess they did not sign guys based on character back then...

Worth every penny

That is awesome!

Will Sasso does the absolute best Jesse Ventura impression.... pure gold

The only way we lose is if our dline and dvd fall asleep and drop in play. I've seen more then enough if Jennings to be convinced that any kind of pressure on him will result in those errant throws. I think we win again and Lulay gets the second half.

Since I'm at work and can't post a direct image link.... https://www.reddit.com/r/Winnipeg/comments/8ww9k5/i_thought_these_were_a_joke_the_120_price_tag_is/ It's already began!!!

We are 1 - 0 with our starting QB playing... we blew away two teams and nearly beat Edmonton with a guy making his first pro start ever. I've only seen us play 1 bad game (Hamilton) ... meanwhile even in the Riders win against Hamilton they looked absolutely atrocious on offense. I'd be majorly concerned if I were a Rider fan about that Offense.

I think he wanted that extra retirement money

I'd much rather see Bobby Lashley vs Brock Lesnar in UFC. Now that would be an interesting fight (aside from Lashley having zero chance of passing a drug test). They could also have CM Punk vs Ronda Rousey as a co main event... I'm pretty sure Rousey would win in under a minute.

Jon Jones will be lucky to fight in 5 years... Daniel Cormier might of had the most tragic and hardest life and has overcame absolutely everything. He is a legit Olympic wrestler and is light years better then anyone else he's ever fought in MMA when it comes to his wrestling. Only Jon Jones has ever bested him... aside from that he's dominated everyone. I understand why they are doing the fight but it's a shame that the heavyweight belt has lost any prestige that it had.

Jennings made some absolutely ugly throws last night... the Bighill pick-6 was absolutely terrible.

How low the UFC has sunk... the co main event was the worst fight ever and the next HW title match is so very one sided. Cormier is 100 times the real wrestler that Lesnar is and he also has light years better striking. I don't see any possible way for Lesnar to win aside from outside interference while the ref isn't watching.

A few drivers were killed by dropped passes by Adams... at least Nicholls was putting the ball where the receivers could make the catch.

Casey Printers 2.0 ?

I'm surprised this thread is so quiet? A big win by the Blue and I thought the o-line looked fantastic and the d-line as well had their way all night. The only negative I have from watching the game is the onside kick and cheap shot at the very end. What was the point of Wally calling for the onside kick and the guy who took the cheap shot I would hope gets suspended. That was as intentional as could be.

I want Pumba!

I blame Macho Harris!!!
