		<title>Rail Depot Location &amp; LRT Vechicle Choice</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I would like our fellow readers to do individual quiet meditation to create reality on two issues that will be decided on in the six months (end of February 2011), where to locate the rail depot for the Southwest Rapid Transit line and the second is which LRT vehicle manufacturer to go with.
The first issue [...]]]></description>

		<title>A New Central Park &amp; Plug-In Gallery</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been to Central Park a few times in the past 5 years, including one or two Critical Mass bicycle rides.
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>

		<title>Christopher Leo is a brain-damaged moron (and other observations)</title>
		<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>

		<title>Urban chickens for WinnipEGGers? Cluck that, says City</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Chickens for WinnipEGGers, an advocacy group led by St. Boniface resident Darby Jones, had been seeking a reconsideration of a bylaw banning the farm animals from city property. And why not? Urban agriculture is on the rise, with more civilized Midwestern cities such as Minneapolis and Chicago permitting an unlimited number of hens so long [...]]]></description>

		<title>City approves demolition of Exchange District warehouse erected 1884</title>

[Editor's note:Where the hell is Heritage Winnipeg? Let Sport Manitoba know how you feel about their disregard for our city's history by phoning them at (204) 925-5907.]
Point Douglas is going to look great in two years&#8230;
&#8230;from my rearview mirror. I can&#8217;t wait to move out and leave the renewal to [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Soft despotism&#8221; and ruthless expropriation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Robert Galston, The Rise and Sprawl
Manitoba is, according to Prof. Allen Mills&#8217;s piece in the Free Press today, under &#8220;soft despotism,&#8221; and governed by bureaucracy.
I should know: I live in North Point Douglas. Here, as in the North End (where between Selkirk and Redwood, conditions are becoming so deplorable that they would make villages in [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Godless box for Higgins &amp; Main</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Robert Galston, The Rise and Sprawl
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>

		<title>Smartcards coming to Winnipeg?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Talia Joundi, The Manitoban
Major cities across Canada are witnessing technological developments within their transit systems. Transit riders in Calgary, Edmonton, Kingston, Saskatoon and other cities have adjusted to a new “smart” method of payment, which allows passengers to swipe reloadable cards in place of bus tickets.
Winnipeg is also joining the trend, expecting to have buses [...]]]></description>
