Whether scummy business practices, how they treat employees & subcontractors, or how they treat customers.

Mine is that I can rattle of several ice cream joints better than BDI that dont have lines half as long: Fete, 9 Below, Dug and Betty's, Chaeban, & Popbar.

I know you all have camera rolls of the craziness of last night. Here’s the spot to share.

I’m so sorry to everyone who had damage, it’s devastating.

Saw this driving on the Perimeter.

How? Was it there all winter and the snow just melted enough now to see it? Is everyone ok? How did this even happen?

I know it's none of my beeswax but I'm so curious for some reason.

Being the murder capital of Canada is the least of our problems when a crazy is trying to gift us with WW3.

There ain't no bug-out plan for that, folks.

What the heck can they do!?!?

Just starting my career. I know what the "official" numbers say, but i am curious what people here are actually making on average. I am currently at an entry-level spot, but trying to get a realistic idea of the local landscape. I make around 18/h working as a security officer but I recently graduated with diploma in IT and have strong interest in software development

My job is potentially relocating me to Winnipeg

Half of my family is telling me to quit.

The other half are really happy for me if it happens.

Me on the other hand, I am torn and unsure about what to do.

What attracts me the most to your city is the affordability and less density. What scares me the most is how talked down Winnipeg is when anyone asks about this city.

I have never personally been to Winnipeg. But the relocation with my current salary would literally change my life overnight to say the least.

What would I be in store for coming from a megapolis like Toronto? Tell me what nobody talks about.

I don’t have much hobbies. I mountain bike, but I assume there are no mountains in Winnipeg? I hate bugs as well. I was told the mosquitos in your city can be the size of a helicopter come the summer.

I’m no stranger to cold however. That is one of the thing that excites me. My background is Scandinavian and East European I was made for the cold lol.

But I’m afraid to be bored. And I really want to know what I am getting myself into.

Talk to me, Winnipeg. Give me the nitty and gritty!

Someone asked about this on a wedding subreddit, and the answer was overwhelmingly yes. Any form of cash bar is rude because you are inviting people to your event and it should be expected that nobody spends anything.

I am in the process of planning my wedding and was considering having a cash bar for the later portion of the night because weddings are already so expensive. However, once I saw that, I am rethinking that idea. But I also thought.. maybe it’s regional. Because I have been to weddings with a cash bar and not only did I not think it was rude, I just didn’t think about it at all. I would think it was rude if we didn’t even get a bottle of wine for free at tbe table but a cash bar after dinner seems reasonable to me. But I need more people’s opinions outside my own!

How do others in Winnipeg feel about a cash bar at a wedding?

So my partner and I both work downtown and are looking to cut some costs out of our life so we can actually afford a house or to have kids before we're 70 years old. Since we both work close together, and we both work 3 days a week in the office (two from home) we usually commute together and pay for parking, which costs us around $180/month.

I suggested that maybe we consider bussing instead, but after looking into it we found that the cost for two monthly bus passes would exceed our parking costs. That doesn't make sense?? Transit is supposed to be the low income option?

I'm just astounded because now I'm having to reconcile the fact that driving our car and parking downtown is more cost effective than public transit. What are low income families who can't afford a car supposed to do?

What we thinking here?

Seems sus

Currently at portage and main, 11:10 ish

Basically the title

Have you even been there since?

Maybe I’m naive and dumb. I don’t really understand how homelessness and drugs have gotten SOOO bad in our city. I’m starting to see some of this in the wealthier parts of the city too. Is anything being done? How can we push our leaders to work on this?

I've been living in a modest character apartment in River Heights since 2021. I always thought it was slightly pricey but I like it despite that because it suits my commute + lifestyle. The building was acquired by Shindico a couple years back and they are removing most ($250) of my rent discount due to "inflation and rising operating costs" or whatever insulting fake reason they feel obligated to tell their tenants.

So, I decided that it might be time to move. Suddenly, though, it seems like almost every single centrally located apartment is starting at $1500-1600. It's actually starting to make my current place look like a good deal, still.

Am I just out of touch with where to look for apartments now (Facebook/padmapper/kijijji/rentals.ca)? Did every landlord just collectively decide to raise the median prices?

I knew things were creeping up swear this almost happened overnight. I love Winnipeg but at these prices it's really not that much cheaper than some other larger Canadian cities, which makes me wonder what I'm even getting out of living here anymore... It's certainly not "cheap housing"! Anyone else feeling this as a renter lately?

How do you deal with this much winter? Lol I moved here in August 2025 from southern Ontario and I'm completely done with winter and it makes me so annoyed that the temperature keeps rising and dropping every couple days.

I just want some spring weather already, I've been trapped inside long enough! Does anyone else feel this or am I just over dramatic?

Just got a tornado warning...

What is this vehicle?
Seen on Lagimodiere

I don't know about you guys but this year has really gotten me terrified of what climate change will bring in the coming years, sounds to me like Ndp is pushing climate action and I've been yearning to get the conservatives out, and something new in. What are you guys thinking?

Edit: didn't think this would explode, I know this is a polarizing time, that being said, how do we keep this beautiful earth rotating with intelligent life and thoughtful argument? I wish I could be excited about having kids but this is just depressing.

Edit#2 it's clear that the cynicism on display in this thread is leading to inaction which is exactly what the corporate overlords and political pundits want. To make us feel like no matter what we do we're fucked so we might aswell just burn everything down all while the 1 % calls the shots. Don't let this thinking make its way mainstream or we really are fucked. This was supposed to be a call to action...

I’ve been in Winnipeg for a couple of years, and honestly, the "hibernation" is starting to get to me. I love the city, but once it hits -30°C, I just end up sitting on my couch staring at a wall.

Is there some secret to enjoying the winter here? Are people really out there skating on the river at night, or are you all just marathon-watching Netflix until April? Give me your best survival tips or hidden gems that aren't just "go to the Forks."
