Inquiries on police HQ, Manitoba pandemic response to come, Kinew tells Free Press

"The newly minted NDP government will call a public inquiry into the controversial decision by Manitoba Justice not to lay criminal charges against key civic officials and contractors involved in the Winnipeg Police Service headquarters scandal.

In an exclusive interview with the Free Press, Premier Wab Kinew said his government will live up to pledges made while in opposition to hold inquiries into the WPS headquarters affair and the province’s pandemic response.

Kinew said he remains concerned there are many unanswered “factual questions” about the police headquarters scandal that will require an inquiry.

“I do think it is in the public interest for us to figure out what happened here,” Kinew said. “In large part, because while there might be some measure of accountability coming through the civil processes… I do think there is (a) responsibility to figure out how do we avoid having a situation like this with so many unanswered questions in the future?”

IIRC, the City needed to request the Province to complete an inquiry. What if the current mayor retracted that request? It would raise my eyebrows into the stratosphere.

Man, I'd be shocked. Some of his advisors, Brian Kelcey included, were very disappointed that Justice refused to lay charges and that the inquiry was then stonewalled by the province.

Excellent. Good news.

I agree. Looks like a neat use of a pretty skinny lot.

Could also be Marion or Goulet, but Sherbrook is a good guess.

Kinda funny how they don't list the address...

I’m confused like is it over an existing street or lane? Is that a thing?

I wonder if that's a render of a new driveway/access to the backlane since it seems like there is parking underneath. Some weird tunnel woonerf?

Amphora is good at renderings

Graham looks pretty good when you can't see the parking lots.

Ever since the PonziCit...SkyCity development imploded, I wonder if there has been any interest in putting something up on that massive lot? What a damned shame having such prime land languish after those crooks got caught. They didn't even have the decency to get caught after the building was done (/s)

Almost looks like it's just north of Assiniboine Ave on Hargrave. Tucked behind that MB Housing tower.

Yeah that's a pretty good guess. The driveway even matches.

First time I've cruised their website. Do they intentionally leave out addresses because all those renders look like vapourware. I haven't seen a single one of those builds in Winnipeg, unless I'm looking in the wrong spots.
