It seems to me that Winnipeg seems to be doing just fine economically as does all of Manitoba for that matter.
Also, I don't understand why people are down on Winnipeg's downtown.
It has the nicest downtown of any prarie province and before you ask.........yes, I am including Edmonton and Calgary's.
Winnipegs has something refreshing that those don't, character.
Winnipeg's downtown is also a hell of a lot more active after 6 than Calgary's and ESPECIALLY Edmonton's.
I really don't understand why Manitobans are so down on their fair metropolis.
I would consider moving to Winnipeg but there are two thing that hold me back...........mosquitos {which I still cannot be beleive that can't control} and the high crime rate.

the trick with mosquitos is you build a fire pit and the back yard and have a fire with your friends on the weekend on a beutifull summers night and have a barbique
also building a deck above the ground about 1' to 3' off the ground helps alot... or riping your lawn out and puting a stone padio in helps still can have a garden and puting a cup of bleach into the rain bairal at least once a week or any places you got standing water or empty them also helps
crime lol its just over publizized... though the car theft thing is there but then thats whats car insurance is for and if you are realy worried about that you could take advange of the imoblizer deals that mpi has going.
theres nothing like padling up the rive to the forks and tieing up and going for ice cream or a snack and then wonder down the asiaboin
we are so spoiled in this city
I love my winnipeg
