As for Winnipeg, as some people on this forum have said over and over, there is the very immediate issue of emergency services budgets being completely unsustainable. They have to brought back to closer to 25-30% of the budget, rather than the current c.45%, with the proportion continuing to increase.
I don't bemoan them for trying to do well for themselves but you're right, we need a major reality check. I bet that the amount of money saved by bringing them more in line with averages would build one interchange per year. That would be amazing. Or hell, build another km of RT every year. Pretty soon you have a comprehensive network
