West Broadway, Winnipeg. For bikes, transit, and livable urban planning. Wrangles data for a living. Wrangles my children when I’m not.

Any other interpretation is historically inaccurate, therefore the courts will rightfully determine the crown to have been extinguished in Canada.

15.11.2025 13:34 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0And Winnipeg likely has a much higher variability of ‘normal’ residential property values. ( while Calgary no doubt has more high end). Parts of the North end have properties you can buy for <$100k.
15.11.2025 13:34 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0But, a property of the same value covers 4 times the proportion. So, twice the tax.
So the further your property is above the average Winnipeg property value - even if $150k less than house in Calgary - your relative share will be higher.
*Frontage, exempt properties, etc make it complicated
Calgary, 2025, total assessed value of $442B. The Winnipeg 2022 seems to be about $100B. Call Calgary $400B.
So a house the same price in both cities is (roughly) worth 4 times more of the assessed base in Winnipeg, as a %.
Winnipeg has half the per capita tax level of Calgary.
Wholesalers for small restaurants sometimes have stores regular people can buy from.

While slip lanes facilitate vehicle movement, they have a significant impact on the safety and comfort of pedestrians. Though the City of Toronto has been proactive in removing or modifying slip lanes, there is still much more work to do.

I’m so messed up by doing the same in the maritimes, and then speaking French, that I can reliably be observed calling all three meals dinner.
Not helpful. The kids think it is hilarious.
Side note: in PEI, “a lunch” is a snack (say little sandwiches and dainties) in a hall after an event.
