There is very little vision here and the small mindedness of the people is nauseating. Look at the excitement that was generated when IKEA was coming to town! I went to IKEA in Mpls.and couldn't wait to get out of the store. Nothing but a bunch of cheap garbage, and the inexpensive food in the restaruant was stomach-turning. If we don't get some vision soon and start SERIOUSLY investing in the inner city and addressing our crippling poverty and crime problem in much of old Winnipeg, I'm afraid it will be too late. I'm to the point where I feel it's too late for me (as in I've had enough of going nowhere in my career). I'm contemplating leaving for the West Coast within the next year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10100067.post-75161800881810004682009-01-20T01:58:00.000-06:002009-01-20T01:58:00.000-06:00^ Well hey, take away the Oilers from Edmonton (an...^ Well hey, take away the Oilers from Edmonton (and West Edmonton Mall too)... what do you end up with?<BR/><BR/>A very boring city. <BR/><BR/>Another Winnipeg.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10100067.post-5862022261957240842009-01-19T23:27:00.000-06:002009-01-19T23:27:00.000-06:00Yes, the best way to generate civic passion is to ...Yes, the best way to generate civic passion is to outsource it to a couple dozen twentysomething millionaires. <BR/><BR/>The NHL can kiss my hairy arse.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10100067.post-87424843785914171242009-01-19T18:51:00.000-06:002009-01-19T18:51:00.000-06:00Hey, at least in Edmonton and Ottawa you get NHL h...Hey, at least in Edmonton and Ottawa you get NHL hockey in the wintertime...<BR/><BR/>Winnipeg gets more boring and depressing every year. <BR/><BR/>There's nothing to be passionate about here!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10100067.post-16913211626347720262009-01-19T01:59:00.000-06:002009-01-19T01:59:00.000-06:00yeah because Winnipeg & Calgary are the only p...yeah because Winnipeg & Calgary are the only places to live.<BR/><BR/>no wonder "outsiders" say Winnipeggers are small-minded.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10100067.post-60167426522862477892009-01-18T21:55:00.000-06:002009-01-18T21:55:00.000-06:00Live WinnipegSurvive in Calgary, or try tooYour ch...Live Winnipeg<BR/>Survive in Calgary, or try too<BR/><BR/>Your choice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10100067.post-297338282812834482009-01-18T11:25:00.000-06:002009-01-18T11:25:00.000-06:00@ 1:39word.@ 1:39<BR/><BR/>word.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10100067.post-89082946065528732882009-01-18T01:39:00.000-06:002009-01-18T01:39:00.000-06:00@ 3:39 less bitching, more relocating chump.@ 3:39 less bitching, more relocating chump.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10100067.post-60799634421058261302009-01-17T15:39:00.000-06:002009-01-17T15:39:00.000-06:00Lets just all come out and say it already:Winnipeg...Lets just all come out and say it already:<BR/><BR/>Winnipeg sucks. <BR/><BR/>The best and brightest move to Alberta and B.C. the first chance they get, and I don't blame them one bit. <BR/><BR/>This city is just another Saskatoon as far as I'm concerned. <BR/><BR/>I absolutely hate it here in Winnipeg.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10100067.post-79740094672544497442009-01-15T16:54:00.000-06:002009-01-15T16:54:00.000-06:00"Slow growth" was so last year.
