iHeart Posted September 14 Report Share Posted September 14 yeah I know it's crazy to accept that the Millennium started 25 years ago (and thank god I didn't really pay attention to the news stories at the time because I had no idea how serious the Y2K bug could have been) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I maintain that if cities had anthems, Winnipeg would be Jump. I feel like Winnipeg is just "Forever 1984"... Like the city was never better than then.

We were commenting on how nice all the new buildings are and how nice it was downtown. We need shelters for the homeless but the investments that taxpayers have made to improve the area are noticeable.

I've spent a fair bit of time the last few weekends at the Sport Manitoba building near Waterfront and it was really nice walking around that area & grabbing a drink at the Pumphouse at the end of the day. There are areas of downtown that are still pretty bad but there are also areas that have really improved. JCon and Noeller 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are areas of downtown that are still pretty bad but there are also areas that have really improved. I worked on the Sport For Life facility file when it was proposed and through construction. It's a great facility. I still remember the groundbreaking ceremony when it wasn't even certain the land would be available, and the city was late with its funding. Those are stories for another day.

Brandon Posted 7 hours ago Report Share Posted 7 hours ago https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/police-superstore-special-theft-1.7349223 Quote One of Canada's largest retailers is spending more than $200,000 a month hiring Winnipeg police officers to protect its business, an increase police and experts say points to the growing crisis of retail theft in the city. Data obtained by CBC through freedom of information laws show that over the past five years, Real Canadian Superstore, owned by Loblaw, has spent over $12 million on special duty police officers. Insane how bad things are getting in Winnipeg these days. What sucks is eventually those costs are pushed onto the honest people like ourselves who pay for products.

Hell some of the workers were even, but yeah that’s nothing new especially the superstores that had the liquor commissions inside them.
