Yesterday, I stopped by here with anticipation of reading all the desperate excuses about the Macleans article. However, that didn't come up. At the same time, some were gushing over the TorStar article about spas, French restaurants, and mini donughts at The Forks.

Some Torontonian may have read the TorStar article about Winnipeg, thought for a second "maybe I'll take a trip to the 'Peg and bask in the metrosexual greatness that it has apparently become." However, then he read the Macleans article and forgot all about the fabulous tales of lavish Pea and Duck soup.

As per usual, the positive stories of Winnipeg will be drastically overshadowed by our rampant crime problem. Not many from elsewhere in Canada (and especially in Winnipeg, for that matter) wears blinders to only see the few positives. Yet, for some, the need to impress outsiders has become a monomaniacal, yet futile obsession.

It's true. We shouldn't encourage anyone to come here. I mean, gosh if Tonrontonians realized that their chances of getting murdered went up from 0.00002 to 0.00004, they would be shaking in their boots!
