Winnipeg Football Stadium



The new football stadium in Winnipeg might cost a little more than planned. Originally proposed at $115 million, it's now risen to $160 million. Oops, not off by much...

Coming to Winnipeg

Besides the ikea and other stores, or all the bands lately, there's a rumor that Arnold Schwarzenegger is coming to Winnipeg. The governor is supposed to be here in Winnipeg in January 2011! Something about a conference or workshop, more to follow.

Look who's visiting! Martha Stewart was in Churchill to see the polar bears and has posted pictures on her Twitter account.

Canada To America

Here's a great video where Tom Brokaw Explains Canada To Americans, and the relationship between the two countries.


Winnipeg - Coming Soon

Lots of great stuff is in the works around the city.

There's a big development on route 90 starting, home to our future Ikea.

The Canadian museum of human rights (CMHR) is taking shape and will probably be done next year.

Winnipeg Spring 2010



The big thaw has arrived and Winnipeg is defrosting!

This (and Autumn) is my favorite time of year because of the change of seasons. Soon we'll see things blooming!
