Exactly what I was thinking. Thousands upon thousands of glad garbage bags...the result of some endless strike by the city sanitation dept.

Paris has nothing on this. The parking lot, the Shopper's Dog Fart, poo from the Green Giant,...

I'm guessing you mean Paris France? If so this took about 30 seconds to find and seems comparable.


There's probably many many more.

OK, but you've now got 30 seconds to find, in that same Canadian city, an equivalent to either the Champs-Élysées, le Marais or St-Germain-des-Prés...

Starting the timer... NOW!

Expecting a New World city have a similar built form to a European one is absurd though. The reality is that what Europe builds now isn't all that different from what we build now. Go to any mid to large European city and you'll see Canadian style development: malls, parking lots, sub-divisions. They're also building density downtown, LRT, etc. but so are we.

Has anyone ever compared Winnipeg to Paris? Ever?

You clearly have some kind of personal problem with western cities seeing as you seek out opportunities to rip on them and the forum users from those areas. Most well-adjusted people can say "Great new proposal Winnipeg, hope it gets built. It would really boost your skyline." But you have to remind everyone that Winnipeg's got nothing when compared to Paris.... What amazing analysis! I didn't realize that Winnipeg was worse than Paris until you mentioned! Thanks for letting us know! Jesus.....

Pardon my french but you can take your bullshit and ad-hominem rude remarks and shove it. Just search my posting history and you can see that I have been very complimentary towards Winnipeg. I don't need some turkey with 172 posts telling me who I am.

I was commenting on the FOREGROUND SIMULATION in the maps, you thick brick. Still feeling sore because I didn't go gaga over Calgary, I see.

LOL, pot meet kettle. Great debating skills bro. Anyway why don't we agree to ignore each other and be done with it.
