	TIJ Articles: Slow Growth and Urban Development Policy, Christopher Leo and Wilson Brown
		It is the city of Winnipeg, and especially Winnipeg’s inner city that is in decline, not the CMA.
		The central city, with a 1996 population of 611,630, is surrounded by a ring of urbanizing rural areas and rapidly-growing small towns.
		Winnipeg’s inner city may be in a parlous condition, but it would be worse without the housing that was added, and renovated, in the 1980s.

		Council will be able to increase the size of Council from the current 15 councillors plus the Mayor by using a new power to increase the number of wards.

	Manitoba Pageant: Winnipeg's City Halls 1876-1965
		Winnipeg's first city hall, constructed at a cost of almost $40,000, [3] was formally opened in March, 1876 with a concert in aid of the Winnipeg General Hospital.
		Winnipeg's second city hall was a "Victorian fantasy" that captured in layers of stone and brick more than any other building of the time the exuberance and optimism of the period.
		The idea of creating in Winnipeg a "grand" civic centre was not again put forward until the late 1950s and early 1960s when, as a result of another architectural competition, a vaguely "Classical" design was chosen for what became known as Winnipeg's Civic Centre.

	FORCES - FORCES CANADA - (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		In a bizarre scenario that sees pseudo-religious fervour married to bad science, council has been toying with the idea of an anti-smoking bylaw for Winnipeg that would ban the use of tobacco in all public places.
		Those who support this intrusion into the lives of private individuals and business people in Winnipeg attempt to justify it on the grounds that smoking is bad for everyone, not just for smokers.
		Winnipeg city council, then, as it considers a ban the weed by-law, is left without any scientific basis for such an intrusion into the lives of citizens.

	Winnipeg: Rail better than bus for rapid transit
		While Winnipeg transit advocates bemoaned the postponement (or seeming demise) of this Quality Bus project, the city's peculiarly single-minded focus on motor bus "rapid transit" has raised questions – Winnipeg, after all, is the headquarters of New Flyer Industries, one of North America's leading bus and motor coach manufacturers.
		The recent vote by which Winnipeg city council repudiated bus rapid transit (BRT) for the second time since 1990 illustrated the pitfalls of political calculations muscling aside technical and popular ones in the shaping of a transit plan.
		Winnipeg should instead grow the diversity, capacity, versatility and reach of its transit system through the addition of a high-capacity, high-speed rail component.

		Although the decision would be overturned, the Spirit of Manitoba would fail to raise the required capital to proceed with the purchase of the Winnipeg Jets, ending all hopes the team would stay in Winnipeg beyond one year, as ownership outside Winnipeg was sought.

		In a recent vote at Winnipeg City Council, a new by-law was adopted forbidding panhandling within the vicinity of “captive” audiences: bus stops, banks and ATMs, parking lots and parked cars, indoor public walkways, elevators and outdoor patios.
		While there is a limited truth to the argument that a small group of substance abusers behave in a manner that is often intimidating, this by-law goes way beyond the realm of reasonable response, targeting the innocent “non-aggressive” panhandler along with the others.
		In his presentation to City Council, Police Chief Jack Ewatski complained that it was difficult to enforce existing laws because too much time and effort was taken up investigating and justifying potential charges.
