[Sheepish]

It is a very sad situation for the people that have spiraled into this abyss. Can they ever get real help, I don't know. But the city cannot be the sacrificial lamb. Frankly the problem is just as bad on Portage avenue at Polo Park, and near Canada Life. How can we possibly expect sustained growth with this cloud hanging over us? I would love to live in an interesting, vibrant, safe downtown Winnipeg one day. But in spite of some of the great developments, I think we are going in the wrong direction presently. Again...more-so than potholes, this is the number one threat to our beloved city and must be the number one election issue in October.
