That is one case in point.

The good developments happening in the Exchange District and other neighborhoods are so micro compared to the overall state of a city which is slowly declining.

Incidentally, my mother just returned from Rwanda, and said the streets of their cities are generally cleaner than those of Winnipeg.

i disagree with your hypothesis that the city is slowly declining...what are your reasons for thinking that?

http://64.141.104.34/20090209_10.wma is the url that it seems to go to in any case.

its about 20 minutes of old news about the bad icy roads before they start talking to anybody interesting. then its cloutier being a dick and mentally disturbed callers named jim bob with no common sense wanting to "blow it up real good", so the usual CJOB pap.

thank you for your help

cloutier is a dick all the time I tried to talk to him in person when they were doing a show at a mall a few yrs ago. He is a first cousin to a friend of mine
dad. Anyway I am sure why I want to bother to listen to negative CJOB ...
