Rich Posted May 27 Report Posted May 27 Don't know why anyone would want to buy a traditional news propery in this day and age. The economics don't make sense and dwindling future subscriptions as the majority of the youth of today certainly don't follow or read traditional news media. Brandon 1

The other construction that isnt talked about enough is extending Moray Street to the Perimeter. This would remove a tonne of the traffic that ends up going down Grant then onto Shafsbury or Route 90. This has been on the city planning maps for 50 years but nothing has been done. At this point, I dont think people want to get rid of the dog park.

So drugs + suicide attempt is how I read it. Yeah if you're admitted to a secure wing of a hospital, it's usually for your own safety (ex: suicide or self-harm attempts).

iHeart Posted June 26 Report Posted June 26 I was just in that area, I didn't hear the explosion but I was at the Wayback Burger on that end waiting on an order when I saw the posts on the Transcona group page, I could see the smoke from the bus stop, I let my parents know right away that I was nowhere near that incident and went home as soon as my bus arrived FrostyWinnipeg 1
bigg jay Posted June 26 Report Posted June 26 Hope nobody was in there at the time because that house is gone. I've seen video from neighbors on that street and it looks like a war zone. JCon and HardCoreBlue 2

MOBomberFan Posted July 22 Report Posted July 22 Tom Segura Bobby Lee and Jessica Kirson were well worth the expense and the GA+ imo was worth it too, got there at 6pm, no lineup at the gates merch tables or drink tents, got seats within arms reach of the VIP area. I hear Billy Redface was a great show as well buy I'm happy with my choice to see Jeans in person JCon and Super Duper Negatron 2
