Australia didn't let non-whites into the country until 1973.

Do you live here? NO

As far as i am concerned some of the laws (or lack of) + people's attitude
make me feel as if i were in Nazi Germany
Therefore i think my "ironic" term is more than justified

the hypocrisy of people always amazes me... they fill their mouth with political correctness, but they find normal to apply a different approach to their own "racism problem" (i.e. natives)... disgusting.

It's just like all the other Winnipeg threads.

Sure, it has a topic, but it's really more of a suggestion than a topic. We're lightly musing about his migration to Winnipeg, rather than focusing solely on it.

pallo · #91 Posted **Jul 14, 2007, 3:54 PM**

Can someone please tell me why Winnipeg doesn't have any nice modern high rise apartments or "condos" like you call tell them there? I was looking through real estate properties for winnipeg on the internet and most of them looked bleak and old

Why is that? Can't they build some nice ones like those we have here in Melbourne?

Why can't they build some like those?

vid · #92 Posted **Jul 14, 2007, 4:45 PM**

There is no market for it. When Canada was booming in the 60s to 80s, when boomers were having families, the need for housing went up, and the government built ugly commie blocks by the handful. Even in smaller cities, you'll find a good amount of them. As for the condo's, those were all built in the same era, and their architecture is just a reflection of the times in which they were built.

The market just isn't there. Winnipeg is just a fraction of the size of Melbourne.

Sudbury's apartment towers were built in the 1970s.

pallo · #93 Posted **Jul 14, 2007, 5:17 PM**

So they don't plan to build any new ones at all in the near future?
is that why housing is so cheap there?
How about new houses, i am sure they have built some lately?
can you show me some photos of new houses and low rise apartments in winnipeg?

vid · #94 Posted **Jul 14, 2007, 6:34 PM**

They build new apartments all the time, they just look shitty.

I'll leave the pictures to someone actually from Winnipeg.

I have some but they belong to other people so I won't repost them.

ssiguy · #95 Posted **Jul 14, 2007, 7:56 PM**

They have done some incredible warehouse conversions and many nice low rise developements in the downtown/inner city area but there is not a market for tall buildings. The city is growing but because housing is still very affordable so you could buy a nice 2000 sq ft house with a big yard for less than you would buy a new 2 bedroom condo..........a lot less.

i don't like houses with yards

i like apartments doesn't matter if they are old style as long as they have many floors

Are the commie blocks in Winnipeg expensive to rent?

vid · #97 Posted **Jul 14, 2007, 9:34 PM**

No, the ones here are in the 400 to 700/month range. The most expensive is an 11 storey tower in the north end, the top floor is *gasp* 850 a month.

But, the way the building is angled, you can't see anything from up there unless you hang over the railing.

Keep to your promised land "Thunder Bay", nobody rang your bell.

yes, we know quebec is a shangri-la of perfection....

"english media fed propaganda" - are you referring to the british media? if not, get your bloody chip off your shoulder. 1759 was 250 years ago... time to move on. and the quebec media is not biased?

No I don't live in Australia. Did you live in Nazi Germany (or under Mussolini perhaps)? More than likely that you didn't. How are the Australian gas chambers? Have they invaded NZ yet? Get a grip.

Australia didn't allow non-whites into the country until 1973. Look up the White Australia Policy and tell me they weren't racist.

Heck, even modern issues like immigration from SE Asia and problems with their aboriginals are sparking racist controversies that are almost unheard of in Canada.
