Now that is really cool, and it shouldn't be too far off come next census.

As for why the city can't seem to accelerate and embrace the growth that we have now, I feel that it's because they're not used to seeing this rate of growth in at least a generation. I wasn't around when Winnipeg was booming like crazy. All I knew growing up was that Winnipeg wasn't doing too well until the turn of the new millenium, and everything was starting to go on the up and up since.

I guess the term "we have a long way to go" may be true in most cases for our city, but I have a feeling that we are halfway there, and maybe, just maybe, we may have already came a long way.
