September 14, 2024Sep 14 comment_724126 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)

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. Edited September 14, 2024Sep 14 by Noeller

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.

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.

If we have any chance of turning downtown around that building needs to be a key piece.

October 17, 2024Oct 17 comment_729840 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.
October 17, 2024Oct 17 comment_729868 ^^ This is happening in many places, as is the closure of 7-11s

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

Did you know in much larger provinces such as Quebec that shop lifting has decreased? This isn't happening in "many" places and in Manitoba it is almost at the top for being the worst.
