Winnipeg was a city designed for humans, not cars
It looks like rapid transit is on everyone's radar in the upcoming civic elections. Excellent. That means that this election year, those looking for real progress can start pushing the envelope by bringing attention to the fact that public transportation is only one part of a larger urban design problem in Winnipeg.
'I'm a man.' I can't say that out loud without clenching my cornhole. 'I'm a male' is no problem. I'll even flash my junk to prove it. But the word 'man' implies qualities like confidence, success, status, and strength. By those criteria, I'm a wash out. I'm a self-conscious, unconfident, often self-pitying social dud. Even Justin Bieber is more 'man' than I am.
Augustine United led the way
Augustine United Church sits near a bustling intersection in the city's bohemian Osborne Village neighbourhood. From the outside, its century-old stone walls, sweeping double staircases, oak doors and towering spires make it look a bit old-fashioned and conservative. But it's anything but old-fashioned and conservative.
