r/Winnipeg

This morning as i was getting on the D17, i witnessed 3 men getting off the bus while a couple at the back yelled and screamed. The man was completely covered in blood, and the back of the bus is now completely covered in blood as well. After asking around it seemed like apparently the three men and the bloody man had gotten into an argument and started beating each other up. (i do have a photo of the bloody bus, i could share it in the comments)

I understand the safety of others and the bus driver is extremely important, but why aren’t busses stopping in these circumstances? Why aren’t the police being called? Shouldn’t the bus be cleaned and refuse more passengers because of the biohazard in the back? This is definitely not the first time i’ve experienced this happening (especially on the D17) and every time the bus just keeps going like nothing is happening, with no attempt to even kick off the rowdy passengers. What happened to those bus safety officers they were talking about?

But hey, you know what they say. “Welcome to Winnipeg!”

Hi everyone! I am moving and am looking for good places to get some free boxes, I am in the Bridgwater area. If anyone has any ideas they would be greatly appreciated!

I am about to receive around 400k in cash, I am very very experienced in investing but I want to make sure I am doing everything right in order to retire by the time I'm 50, I am currently 31. TFSA is already maxed, I want to see if maxing my RRSP next makes sense or go non reg

Bro that thunder was so loud and long!!!

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!

Im coming back from a 3 month backpacking trip around europe, and one of the things im going to miss most about europe is being able to relax by the river or at the park with a bottle of wine and just unwind. It seems ridiculous that im confined to my house, sure you can always go out to a patio but the patios that have good proper views make you pay out the ass for a beer.

Id really like to know the background on why open liqour laws are the way they are here, why we implemented them in the first place? Id love to go for a walk around assiniboine park and just enjoy a drink, and thats a crime??

Maybe europe has ruined my perception on drinking in general, is it that its more common and less abused? It doesnt seem that way after being here, you still get the occasional drunken nuisance but its so rare and just such a non-issue. It just seems almost childish. Just want to know some other winnipegers opinion on the matter. Cheers!

Hi. Heping a client. I am looking for research video production companies, specifically in Manitoba or Winnipeg, that can provide a done-for-me package. This would include meeting once a month for a few hours to record several videos. We're looking for a team to edit and produce several 10 to 20-minute videos, as well as create shorts from those long-form videos. You would potentially also post to YouTube and other social media platforms and conduct competitor analysis and performance analysis on the videos.

Please include the website and portfolio links (if you have them) as well. Any recommendations appreciated. Thank you!

AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS

I had a chip on my windshield and I saw one of those orange deco tents at St. Vital. I was sold 2 “VIP packages” for both my vehicles. As the worker told me, these packages cover any windshield damage for the lifetime of my vehicle.

What was conveniently left out is that this plan renews every year. Each plan was 100$ so its not like its a small amount either.

The associate also said that MPI will reimburse the cost accrued today, but I tried opening a claim with MPI and they said they do not reimburse invoices from DECO any longer.

I later found out that the plan I purchased can be transferred between multiple vehicles as per their website so I do not know why the associate sold me 2.

Overall, saying MPI will cover damages, not telling the customer that the plan renews every year, and being sold multiple is extremely shady.

This was my first time needing a windshield repair done but next time I will definitely go to Speedy Glass.

Thinking about buying a cabin and curious what the communities/vibes are like around popular spots like LOTW, Falcon, West Hawk, Gimli, etc.

Feels like every area has its own personality and type of cabin people. What are the stereotypes/reputations for each?

Also any suggestions on actual areas would be great!

Just ranting

My birthday is next Saturday and I’m hoping to spend the day bouncing around some of my favourite spots, while also checking out a few places/events I maybe haven’t considered before.

My current loose itinerary is coffee at Little Sister, a stop at St-Léon Garden and Black Market Provisions, and grabbing a beer at Kilter. I was hoping there’d be a Goldeyes game that day, but no luck 🥲

Open to pretty much anything (good food, patios, cute shops, markets, events, fun activities, random Winnipeg gems, etc.) Doesn’t matter what end of the city, just nothing too wildly expensive. Mainly just looking to have a fun birthday day and try a couple new things!
