Wiinnipegi s a very unsafe city. The problems have been continously covered up and glossed over by other successful events such as the return of the Jets, the improvement of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and the new stadium and certianly the Human Rights museum but have been recently offset by Air Canada's statement regarding the safety of its personnel. To add, the Assemby of Chiefs for Manitoba have asked for an apology regarding the remarks. What ever! The fact of the matter is the downtown has been in continuous decay regardless of the building of the MTS Centre. This city can't even make a decision about the old Metropolitan Theatre. It's been boarded up for maybe 20 years. Walking on the street at most times of the day is risky unless you use the series of glass bridges and passages from building to building. Pandhandlers lurk on every corner. Stabbings occur. Rapes and assaults. Occur. Cars get broken in. The mayor and his counterparts gloss things over and deflect the conversation. The Sun has done a good job of covering the crime beat but until the city really takes a proactive approach to this on going drifter problem it will only get worse. So far they wait for winter and a lot of this stuff moves in doors.

what the heck is goin on in Winnipeg?
