Everything south west of Winnipeg is boring as poo poo but there's actually quite a bit to see and do in the rest of the province.

Also yes, Winnipeg does have a decent theater scene and Winnipeg Fringe is amazing.

Anything further than like an hour north of the city is pretty poo poo too. Not to mention the monster mutant insects that live up north

Nah man theres all the great camping and poo poo and Gimli can be fun. Biking to the Viking, stuff going on at the drag strip, the Iclandic festival.

Also, apparently Churchill is amazing.

As for the bugs, ya, they're loving insane. I grew up in northern Ontario. There are loving SONGS written about the bugs in my neck of the woods. Manitoba bugs are worse. IDGAF any more though, I bought a bug suit. poo poo owns.

Gimli's in the hour zone, they get a pass.

Anyone that talks about how beautiful manitoba is without leaving the city should be forced to spend a couple weeks in gillam brochet or shamattawa during the summer so they can see what manitoba actually looks like.

i had to be in winnipeg for work during fringe festival one year i was put up in the fairmont, every day after 5pm it was a ghost town, and the amount of addicted homeless people was depressing, thought i was going to get shanked at least a dozen times walking underneath portage and main why the gently caress can't you walk above ground instead of going through the underground robbery mall

the river area was nice but overall i felt it was just a loving dump

The Portage and Main thing goes back to peoples loving cars, the only reason the intersection is walled up is because people believe that it will slow traffic.

Yes, an explicitly anti-gay slur that has often been followed by actual violence is exactly the same as a rude word for a woman's genitals. Good comparison! I do not use that word, nor racial slurs, because they are harmful in addition to causing offence.

Frankly, even "retard" has a more distasteful connotation than "oval office."

unless your three sheets to the wind with your red neck idiot friends saying oval office is just weird if you're canadian i dont think there's a typical canadian who thinks that it's ok to throw around oval office, even my family who swears like nothing would be uncomfortable with it just stop trying to defend it

LMAO if you think oval office is a word that people have only used to describe a woman's genitals and never used "violently"

I just called him a human being because he was a human being right? It's just a word used to describe a gay person.

CI is like the thread equivalent of the guy who would stand behind a victorious Roman consul and whispers "memento mori (remember you are mortal / remember you will die) in his ear to keep him from getting too big for his britches. Except in this case the consul is CanPol and CI is whispering "Remember that Canadians are human garbage".

For the first 30 or 40 seconds I didn't see what was so bad about this advertisement but then it turned into some kind of bizarre presentation on graphic design :psyduck: Who is this aimed at? Do voters really want to know, in this level of detail, how the sausege gets made when it comes to crafting a new logo?

Also, can you imagine what kind of internal polling must have motivated this? You know a party's brand was in the tank when they actually put out an advertisement taking like three full minutes to emphasize how totally new and different everything about the party's leadership and image is going to be. This is normally the kind of scrambling you see from a corporation that just accidentally killed a bunch of people with poison meat or something.
