About to pay a $1200 repair bill due to one of the 4 rim-eater potholes between portage and main and York that have persisted for weeks, dodged the first one curbside southbound if you are turning on St. Mary and forgot about the 2nd one, be careful!
Found this one on AI Slop - Manitoba facebook page.
The City of Winnipeg says the claims made by the owner of the Manwin Hotel, in a lawsuit filed after the dilapidated Main Street property was destroyed by fire this year, are baseless.
Lawyers for the city have filed papers that seek to have the suit by Akim Kambamba thrown out.
The suit, filed in the Court of King’s Bench in the spring, seeks $15 million, plus court costs, over the Jan. 14 fire in the vacant hotel at 655 Main St., which has since been demolished.
The company accused the city of breaching its duty to it and wrongfully evicting the tenants, who had been ordered out owing to numerous safety concerns last year.
City lawyers want a judge to throw out the claim and grant it court costs, arguing Kambamba’s lawsuit is an abuse of process and has no legal merit.
The city’s notice of motion, which is set to be heard in October, says Kambamba’s claim is vague and fails to set out facts that would give him a basis to sue the city.
“The claim in its entirety is scandalous, frivolous and vexatious,” reads the city’s filing.
“There is no nexus or connection between the alleged actions of the city and the claimed damages.”
The city owed Kambamba no duty based on what he claims in his lawsuit, or has no liability, or both, the city argues.
Kambamba’s company claims that one day before the fire, the city advised Kambamba the building had been breached.
He was told to arrange to have the building boarded up again.
Vacant property owners are responsible for securing their buildings under a city bylaw.
Kambamba claims he asked police to sweep the building first, but they refused. He conducted a “make believe boarding” of the Manwin.
Kambamba’s company claims the city’s decision to allow Main Street Project to provide services to homeless people at its adjacent property interfered with his business.
The suit argues the city breached a duty of care to the company by allowing the shelter to provide services that Kambamba claims hurt his operation.
Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service officials ordered the charred remains of the Manwin to be demolished while crews were still working to extinguish the blaze.
Kambamba also claims, without including evidence in the court filing, the city “improperly” shut down the hotel and evicted the tenants.
The hotel had been vacant since the city ordered residents — who occupied cheap, single rooms — to leave in January 2025 over numerous and severe safety hazards.
City officials were in the early stages of trying to expropriate the property when the fire erupted.
The owner had failed to address multiple outstanding permit requirements and compliance orders.
The fire remains under investigation.

I want to lie on the beach in the nude. Is Patricia beach the only one? My question is that what if you see someone you know? Has that ever happened to anyone?
since Palestine isn't represented at Folklorama, can we share suggestions on some Palestinian businesses or events we can support while that's happening/in August?
the only restaurant I've tried or am aware of is Ramallah Cafe (which has excellent shawarma) and I'd love to hear people's ideas and experiences!
Hi everyone,
I live in a very residential area, and lately, there’s been a black Mustang with a brutally loud exhaust tearing around the neighborhood at awful hours. Last night, around 1:30 AM, they were just sitting there revving the engine like crazy. The noise is completely unbearable and waking people up.
Does anyone know the best way to handle this or who I should report it to? (Non-emergency police line, city bylaw/noise complaint, etc.?)
Pre-emptive FYI: I’m actually a huge car enthusiast and have owned several cars with custom exhausts myself. I love a good engine note, but there’s a time and a place. Keeping it quiet in a quiet neighborhood at 1 AM is just basic respect.!
Thanks in advance for any advice!
At the title implies I’m curious as to which Old Dutch Chips are still made in Winnipeg. As far as I know it’s only the ones in the boxes, which are great for portioning, but not for when I want to just eat a bag lol.
Any knowledge?
Winnipeg police are asking the public’s help to locate a suspect in an alleged bear spray incident, who may also have a firearm.
Just before midnight on Sunday, police were called to the Curtis Gordon Hotel at 1011 Henderson Hwy, for a gun call.
Multiple units, including a tactical support team and drone unit, were sent to the location and learned that a man allegedly randomly sprayed bear spray inside the hotel, affecting several people.
Police say witnesses saw him carrying a firearm and a video showing the man walking across the parking lot allegedly armed with a firearm was obtained.
Officers searched the area and weren’t able to find the suspect, but found a CO2-powered gun that matched the look of the weapon in the video.
However, police say they cannot confirm if the recovered gun is the same gun in the video and until proven otherwise, they will treat the incident as a real firearm-related incident.
Police say the suspect is a tall, thin man with a lighter complexion.
He was wearing a grey sweater, beige pants, a black baseball cap with white letters, and carrying a black backpack. Police say the firearm was described as a small rifle/submachine gun style.
Police are asking the public not to approach this suspect, as he may be armed with a firearm. Instead, the force is asking the public to call 911 immediately if spotted.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the major crimes unit at 204-986-6219. Those wishing to remain anonymous can contact Winnipeg Crime Stoppers at 204-786-8477 or online (https://www.winnipegcrimestoppers.org/).

I am looking to sell my car next month and I want to see if i can live off transit and peg city co-op with occasional ubers. I pay $220 in insurance and roughly $80/week on gas ( I drive a V6 car) , $400 in car payment plus the occasional car break downs and I am just looking to cut cost as I am job searching for a remote job ( i have only worked from home for the past 4 years). I also have a 6 year old, we home school for the most part and he is only in music lessons and jiu jutsu as extra curricular for now. Has anyone done this? is this feasible? Any tips? My hope is to designate 1 day for errands to get peg city co-op and occasional out of city drives for hikes or get to gether with other kiddos. And use the transit for the other transporting. I hope to only spend about $200-250 on transportation .
Thanks in advance
It’s so nice to see so many people out running and walking enjoying the closed part of Corydon. Nice to not have so many motorcycles revving their engines unnecessarily loud too.
Okay so I don't drive. My friends are rarely available because of schedules. I loved going to the beach every weekends back home and since it's summer already (🤞🏽) I want to start visiting our local beaches.
Is there a way to like commute or car pool to said beaches? It's sad we don't have much options for moving around/within the province unless you have a car.
Looking to make some (any) sort of connection to my Korean side. I’m disconnected from that half of my family and would like to have some positive experiences. Open to food/shopping/events etc!
Hi, just wondering if anyone knows of a same day ring resizing service being offered in or near Winnipeg! I just got engaged and need to go a full size down :)
Is there anywhere in Wpg I can buy them?
Okay my lovely fellow Redditors, you haven’t let this fat guy down yet … so I’m craving a soft serve strawberry Sunday … where is “the best” place to go in Winnipeg? I wish I had a soft ice cream machine at home cause I’d be avidly trying to perfect it right now … crushed peanuts, not whole ones. Whipping cream, I’m not sure if canned or home made would be better. But actual strawberry pieces … sugared so it would be syrupy … help … fat man craving here
I didn’t end up going and now I’m curious how it was in person. I saw a bit of video footage and wasn’t sure what to think. Did it come across better live?
Hi everyone, might be a dumb question.
Where can I go to get my foot checked, might be a minor crack or pull. Pains whenever I walk. Not healing since few weeks. Hurts less on days I don’t stand much.
Where do I go without having to pay a lot or possibly from govt healthcare?
Might require physio or xray.
Self employed, anything I can do that might help me not have to pay?
Hey everyone, I've been here for work for a while and trying to convince the boss to call it for the day and hit a beach or something lol. Is there anywhere within like half an hour or so? Could be a river or lake or whatever (as long as it's not gross) just somewhere to jump in the water and toss a ball around!
Anybody have experience with rush seats at Rainbow Stage? It says a limited number of tickets two hours prior to the performance so wondering if that means the cheaper seats at the back only or any seat that’s available.
