	Winnipeg - winnipeg free press
		Winnipeg (49°53' N 97°09' W, CST) is a Canadian city and the provincial capital of the province of Manitoba.
		Winnipeg was once Canada's third-largest city (until the 1930s), but, beginning in the 1970s, as the economy evolved away from rural farm-based industry, Winnipeg stalled in growth and dropped to eighth by 2004.
		Winnipeg wasn't actually born in Winnipeg, but was purchased in White River, Ontario, by an officer of the Fort Garry Horse cavalry regiment en route to his embarkation point for the front lines of World War I. He named the bear after the regiment's home town.

	MHS Centennial Business: Winnipeg Free Press
		It was the first cylinder press north of St. Paul, Minnesota, and was run by human muscle power supplied mainly by the huge and powerful Kenny who, among others, turned the handle.
		Liberal in philosophy, the Free Press was a leader among newspapers in Canada.
		As circulation grew and new presses were added, another move became necessary, and in 1913 the paper occupied the building at 300 Carlton and remained there for 78 years, becoming known as "the old lady of Carlton Street." In 1991 the Free Press moved to its present location at 1355 Mountain Avenue.

		There are discussions now between the City of Winnipeg and affected rural municipalities about possibly hooking up to the city's sewage treatment system, said Dwight Williamson, Water Stewardship Board director.
		Williamson said some cottage owners along Lake Winnipeg, and likely some in Whiteshell Provincial Park, will have to change from septic fields to holding tanks, but probably not a large number, under new legislation passed Jan. 1.
		And most bedroom communities around Winnipeg, where there are up to 10,000 septic fields according to government figures, are not affected by new legislation because they are not on highly-erodable Zone 4 land.

		If patterns of the last 11 years hold true, this winter in Winnipeg two things will likely happen: there will be an overcrowding problem in hospital emergency departments and there will also be an influenza outbreak.
		So we looked at seasonal patterns of use for Winnipeg's seven acute care hospitals over the last 11 years to find out how often hospitals are full, and why.
		Many of our suggestions involve changing the way the system is managed, to free up beds in a hospital system that typically runs at near capacity.

		By the mid-1980s, the Free Press had outgrown its once-grand downtown quarters at 300 Carlton Street and began developing plans for construction of a $150-million plant on Mountain Avenue, in the city's northwestern corner.

		The fact we all know the number of victims of 9/11 and are only vaguely aware of the deaths of hundreds of thousands of humans referred to as collateral damage in The War on Terror, is an inditement of the role the WFP and the mainline media have played in willingly disseminating that U.S, propaganda.
		Given the abysmal record of the WFP in every aspect of U.S. coverage, it is incumbent upon the editors and to publicly acknowledge its role in the perpetrating of this information fraud.
		It is also time the management of the WFP decided to re-establish the veracity of the second word in its name- 'Free' should refer to the free flow of facts and information, not some perverted concept of freedom from responsibility.

		Their previous film, Garbage Hill, argued that Winnipeg’s authentic broadcast culture of Videon community access television, with the likes of Hunky Bill and Natalie Pollock, has been replaced by the sanitized imagery of corporate cable.

		Our cities are needlessly suffering environmental decline that has a direct bearing on quality of life and wealth creation – in good part because of Ottawa’s unfocussed approach to taxing and spending.
		That’s the message of a report being released today in Winnipeg at the annual conference of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities.
		In many cases, we’re not talking about taking in less revenue or spending more money – we’re talking about moving tax burdens from green economic activities to unsustainable activities, with investment shifted in the opposite direction.
