One Great City!

You wish to migrate to Winnipeg... You wish to migrate to Winnipeg... You wish to migrate to Winnipeg... You wish to migrate to Winnipeg...

Seriously it's great. During the three month break from snow squall that'll kill you in your sleep if you live in an older building and your heat gives out in the middle of the night the swarm of horrifyingly large mosquitoes will eat your face out... They're stuck to you like glue from all the humidity.

The crime rate is the highest in Canada which makes it almost as crime ridden as Denver. With all the Americans hopefully coming I'm sure crime is about to skyrocket.

The ground is an ancient lake bed and it's constantly freezing so the roads are obliterated and can never be repaired. In order to keep the roads in working condition we'll have to install a lot of toll booths. The streets are all looptyloop... They change names at intersections and seperate streets have the same name. Streets they call highways have traffic lights. At dead intersections. Mass transit sucks.

They're improving the mass transit system but I have a feeling they're going to need to speed up production and hopefully eventually introduce a rapid transit system, like a skytrain, in addition to the bus-rail transit system. That would make a pretty damn good system. Also lets make the highways into actual highways. Kit Carruthers demands it. I can't hope for the sky train in time for the events but it will surely be here eventually.

Also the skyline is quite hideous. And it's a doughnut. Everything not built during the 60s and 70s looks pretty decent. Also we're building a new airport. Just in time.

It sucks for now... For now...

It has a particular charm. Osborne Village is quite nice. I want to call us Doors hippies. We're darker. Sorta, mostly...

Don't worry, the magical 2012 hippy festival will obviously be indoors.
