		<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>
