The Winnipeg of my youth was an awesome place to grow up but in the last 20 years the old north end and older downtown residential areas have become so run down that they have become a dumping ground and magnet for the human trash that nobody wants.
I moved to Calgary 20 years ago and love it here. I'd love to win the lotto max so I can rescue my kids from Winnipeg and resettle them here. I give them credit back home. The people are doing the best they can to turn the place around. It takes time. Lots of worse places to live. And they have a great hockey team again!
