I was buying a gift at the LC, and had my ID in hand. The casher didn't ask to see it, which made me wonder when the last time I actually was ID'd was. It made my brain hurt trying to think back that far, and I still don't have an idea when I was last ID'd. Super Duper Negatron 1

Don't know about what is usual, but I walked into the steinbach one a week and a half ago and didn't see any employees till I got to the till lol. 2 minutes ago, Geebrr said: You do. Just googled it, thinking maybe this was some failure to follow protocol thing. But it looks like the ID to enter is just in winnipeg, done in response to those passive theft/raids that were happening a ways back. Doesn't seem like it's the case in rural MB.

bearpants Posted May 14 Report Posted May 14 13 hours ago, Noeller said: Obviously huge thanks to Derek for coming on here with reports. Greatly appreciated. Also thanks to Our Man Tait for his daily camp reports. This one in particular is interesting as many of us were pleading to have Haba get more time last year... And hopefully he's on pace to break through this year.... This is a great article.... good to hear that Haba seems ready to take over Jackson's role... but I'm excited about Garbutt and Rivers too... having a three man rotation of Willie, Haba, and Rivers/Garbutt will hopefully cause a lot of havoc for opposing QBs Piggy 1, ddanger, rebusrankin and 4 others 7

By the strictest definition of a city (population of at least 50,000 people with a density greater than 1,500 per sq. km), according to the 2021 census there is 1 (Brandon). That being said, we do have pockets of places that have the population density but not the total population: Portage La Prairie Thompson Selkirk Niverville Neepawa Flin Flon Virden No I didn't miss the sarcasm, but the comment piqued my interest, so I looked it up.

Population density isn't a pre requisite for being a city in any dictionary definition or civil engineering standard. Density is only used to separate for economic survey data. Federal, and provincial standards are what's applicable. Manitoba has some really interesting/odd outliers in terms of economic per capita zones, that are perfect examples of why the standard is used but only in statistical evaluation. Sard 1

Manitoba has some really interesting/odd outliers in terms of economic per capita zones, that are perfect examples of why the standard is used but only in statistical evaluation. I think economic/government service area is a big factor as well. A city like Brandon will service another 50-60k in nearby population, same with Thompson as the hub of the North. Whereas cities like Steinbach do not service much surrounding population because of proximity to Winnipeg. I know that was hugely important to food franchises when i was looking at opening up a franchised restaurant in Thompson some years back. Edited May 14 by GCn20 wbbfan 1
