We'd be a very different city.
The one time Winnipeg was a 'forward and modern thinking city' was when we joined everyone else in ripping up our streetcar network in 1955.

We were at the top of that trend!

In an alternative universe, I imagine that Winnipeg would be like Toronto only with orange instead of red streetcars still rolling down Portage Ave.
