As an aside, anyone else remember when the Winnipeg Commodity Exchange was still a thing? When I was a kid I used to love going downtown to the library to study or whatever, and I got a kick out of dropping by the trading floor viewing gallery around the closing bell when the traders were jumping around and shouting orders like madmen while the ticker numbers flashed. You can see the gallery behind glass to the upper left:



I presume that trading floor must have been in the windowless lower part of the tower... I wonder what's there now?

Pretty cool stuff. Didn't even know a place like that existed.
