It has the potential to be such a beautiful urban park, and decades ago the writers of the Downtown Winnipeg Plan (1969) said that its boundaries should be expanded and the park itself be [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here at TRU Winnipeg, we&#8217;ve found that critiquing the local discussion on urban issues is rather like playing a never-ending game of whac-a-mole—each time we smack down the clueless assertions of one ostensible academic, instantly pops up another.
The most recent bit of disingenuous drivel comes from University of Winnipeg professor Christopher Leo, who claims “expertise” [...]]]></description>

Manitoba is, according to Prof. Allen Mills&#8217;s piece in the Free Press today, under &#8220;soft despotism,&#8221; and governed by bureaucracy.

Comparisons to residential schools are out of line&#8230; 

&#8230;this is more like a maximum security prison.
If architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe was right when he said &#8220;God is in the details,&#8221; then the conceptual drawing for Youth For Christ&#8217;s recreation centre renders a Godless box.
This is architecture formless and [...]]]></description>

The dreaded surface lots in the background are about 70% full, so most of these were shot during weekday business hours.

Headed south down Waterfront Drive on an unseasonably warm November afternoon, the row of new condo buildings lining the winding roadway met my eye.
Architecturally, none of these buildings are notable for anything but average attempts at cartoonish &#8220;heritage&#8221; design, but taken together, perhaps with eyes squinted a little bit, they gave [...]]]></description>
