Winnipeg: See Nothing, Hear Nothing, Say Nothing!
Theres one of the main problems Winnipeg has - we all see it, we all hear these problems for decades, and nobody ever says anything about it, let alone doing anything about it to begin with... the last post, which you refuse to read because "triggered", was a joke, but it did have some basis in reality, since a) the older housing stock in Winnipeg is suffering pretty bad, b) Stellas is a questionable company - to say the least - which potentialy burned down their own store for insurance money & to pay off potential "problem" employees that wanted to unionize & seek an end to their neglected treatment, and c) because everyones screaming about commercial and residential development in the West End, but theres not one single word about high-tech industry, safety training companies to help re-train/re-skill workers outside of RRC and other places, beginner start-ups or anything else that could be built in the area to attract investment & money, let alone more permanent, for-life residents that won't run out to the suburbs...
Its not a complex on all of Winnipeg, but when WPS can't look into real crimes (burning down a store and blaming it on an "air conditioner" for insurance $$$ with questionable management running the day-to-day, is a pretty big red flag for fraud), when apartments keep getting burned down by junkies & when Nygards name is plastered on one of Winnipegs notable street corners in neon almost as if he's mocking the entirety of Winnipeg driving out of downtown at rush hour, then clearly theres a problem with the city & internal perception of it, especially if mentioning Winnipeg in Calgary rapidly turns into storytime of how shitty Winnipeg has become over the decades of deindustrialization, loss of jobs, the ongoing witch-hunts and blacklisting of Aboriginals from virtually all workplaces within the city (ever wonder why theres so few of us employed...?), and the lack of investment into our own city... The sooner people stop brushing things underneath the rug, supporting crooked businesses & kissing elite satanic asses, the better Winnipeg will become for the future generations. 110%. And someones gotta have this conversation, because the status quo just isn't cutting it.
PS: skyscrapers are nice, but when the NIMBYs won't allow any near Polo Park, when investors won't drop a dime anywhere outside of suburbia, no jobs, with welfare circles in maximum overdrive, and when the West End is being hollowed out and being described as "being better if we all levelled it and turned it into a huge parking lot!!!" by long-term Winnipeg residents I've grown up with and known for 20+ years... those "construction man-hours" and hospitality jobs might put food on the table, but its a band-aid solution that does nothing for the plight of the poorest Winnipeggers looking to get out of poverty & have a job that lasts with benefits included, and a chance to move up in life. Actual investment into the West End/West Broadway area is needed. And hopefully, Nygard fucking off from that intersection will open it up to be bulldozed, rebuilt to benefit the community, and to start attracting alot investment into the area, than that billionaire ever did for it.
