The neighbourhood gets exactly what it deserves. No matter what the issue is, there's always this underlying divide between the francophones and anglophones that destroys everything. I remember even the climbing wall guys were given nothing but grief at a point because the community was convinced the club was being co-opted by some english speaking climbers. They were going to refuse them access to the indoor climbing wall at the school gym. And it's always this way. St. B. has always actively worked against anything they might perceive as threatening their way of life even if that way of life is having cars on blocks on the front lawn and no discernible francophone culture left to speak of.

That is a relevant comment.
They have always been like that so all the street signs in St B and St Vital and area were change to add french. That cost a lot of money. I remember that parking ticket fiasco many decades ago that a frenche would not pay the ticket as he could not read English (so he said) so it was throw out in court. The bi-lingual thing cost taxpayers tens of millions of dollars a year or more in Manitoba for all the repackaging of goods and forms, as well as bi-lingual civil servants.
The residents that wanted that Sophie restaurant so bad did not support it, so it closed the doors.
The people in St. B are to blame for that.
So, congratulations are in order.
Ray Simard is a friend of mine for 20 years and he is a super nice guy.
Danny Vandal has always supported my causes he is a stand up guy.
Too bad that Provencher has gone downhill for many years now as it had potential to be great.
The people there should get together and make the area a better place to live.
