Funny thing about that Dink Bridge is so many people were against it (me included). Murray rammed his dink down our throats but in retrospect, I enjoy it.

Absolutely nothing makes Winnipeg STAND OUT from any other cities in Canada. We have an NHL team, but so do 6 other cities, there is nothing that's different than all the others. The one thing that makes us stand down considerably is our awful public transit system compared to other "major" cities, and our knack for not using other great cities around North America... and the World for that matter as an example of how to build and create a better city.
IE: Light rail systems work great in Vancouver, Calgary, Minneapolis, Ect. but... lets throw money at building a bus route that is not rapid, not electric and will not be used in 10 years instead. LAME.

Nah. Just an opinionated Winnipegger thats frustrated with how things here progress at such a slow rate compared to other cities. I just dont get why things get done half assed in Winnipeg, and then people wonder why things don't run as smooth as they should.

How does your whining and bitching help? Have you run for office to drive change? Doug you feel spewing venom aimed towards people considering a move here helpful?
If you haven't seen some positive changes in the last few years there is no help for you...
Signed, a frustrated Winnipegger tired of reading lame anti-Winnipeg posts.

My whining and bitching will not help, your correct. I have not run for office to drive change, I choose the easy way out on this, I don't spend extended time in Winnipeg as much as I possibly can. I do feel like my "venom" was somewhat helpful, cause it gave the OP a realistic view of this city in a different light other than "We have a hockey team". Granted I did only pose negative "venom" and left out the few decent things about the city, there is more than enough positive feedback that can be looked into throughout the forum, even this thread. I'm not the end all be all.
SIGNED, VENOM SPEWER.
PS: NOTHING is more lame than putting "signed" followed by a dumb explanation. Get creative you grumpy ol' man!
