I really believe it will be the first domino to fall in a serious renaissance.
But I seriously swear that people have made that Weakerthans song into some weird self-fulfilling prophesy, and it explains the Winnipeg psyche perfectly.

Dude, it's an INTERSECTION. You are treating it like Winnipeg just won a contract with Amazon. It's not that important, believe it or not.
