Truth, unless you use an untraceable alias like Me. But, I am unimportant.

What do you mean the city and province won't shell out billions of dollars to move a gigantic taxpayer outside the city in order to get the rights to remediate Chinese level pollution for the next 50 years? Shocking!

I think that's pretty much true of all employers. Criticize your company, however justified, and you'll wind up in HR for an "attitude adjustment".

Is the south bound (west side of Disraeli Fwy) considered part of the Exchange District or Point Douglas?

Either way I noticed over the last few weeks the Peg City Auto building located between south Disraeli Fwy and MacDonald has installed both riot shutters on its man doors/doors to the auto shop and installed a high chain link fence with a multi strand barbed wire top.

Sort of gives coming south on Disraeli Fwy to downtown a more sketchy look as next door the N’Dinawemak (Our Relatives) Indigenous resource complex is still surrounded with temporary panel fencing from when the previous tenant in there closed up.

I had seen this summer people camping overnight in the Peg City Auto recessed entry area of the man door so maybe the owner or landlord got fed up with doing a daily cleanup and any damage repairs?
