I suppose it made me feel better that despite the slow growth we have had for so many years, we always grew more than Saskatchewan; now that I see their numbers slightly higher, it just irks me. With Winnipeg being a relatively large city, compared to Regina and Saskatoon, Winnipeg alone should (ideally) attract more people. I think we still may be losing more people than I would like to see. I actually like Sam Katz, but Winnipeg needs someone else as mayor--a hip, business-savy, urban kinda person, and the province needs a Premier with similar attributes. Despite so many entities whose mandate is to improve downtown Winnipeg, not enough is being done fast enough. I will be happier when I see more makeovers (Ave Building), and infills, and stores opening up downtown.
