Crap I didn't know Lovey's closed shop for good. Does Winnipeg have any BBQ places aside from Famous Daves?

Blame the culture.. it's not fair or nice but unfortunately it's the harsh reality. It's not fair to lump everyone in a category but unfortunately certain cultures don't help the cause. Example... working retail in Winnipeg back in the day... we were told to keep an eye on aboriginals (sketchier ones) because of the obscenely high rate of theft with them. Reason being that literally 75% chance of them shop lifting. It wasn't because of skin color because we were also told to hover and eagle eye on hutteriies because they shop lifted even more. It's because of the culture. An east indian walking in to the store we didn't even bat an eye because we had zero thefts. I don't consider things like this as racism. I'm not saying anyone is right in shooting down someone because they assume that they are a criminal not at all... I'm just saying that certain cultures really don't help themselves out. You never see or read articles in the States about police or white red necks gunning down Asians. It's all about respect and unfortunately good people sometimes get shot up because others have no respect for them purely base on skin color (which is dumb).

Dude the amount of crime that goes unpunished is ridiculously high as I said before... sometimes being ignorant makes it easier to walk the streets. As for black people wearing body cams... while these incidents are clearly unacceptable.... a far more majority of black shooting deaths are caused by other black people (non police obviously). A change in culture would need to take place for things to get better.

I don't think they need to throw the book at the guy, I guarantee you a tonne of players make smart ass comments and talk about sleeping around with women all of the time. The only part I think that can get him in trouble is the coke post. I assume they will make him take drug tests. As a fringe 4th liner though, jeeze who in the hell is going to want to sign a locker room cancer like this guy. The comment about the nhl players wife being fat after having a new baby is just in such poor taste.

I forgot about NY Fries... My mind always goes to the extremely sub par asian options which are yuck.
-
With Arby's gone from Kildonan Place.... that leaves it with A&W and Subway as the only safe places to eat.... I really hope after the renos that they get a whole new set of food options. Jimmy the Greek would be nice!

https://www.mashed.com/145296/the-truth-about-arbys-roast-beef/ Pretty much what my friend said... comes in a bag with gel and a squishy "meat" and is then cooked. Maybe the claim of it being pure liquid is a stretch but it's not that far off. This isn't a fresh piece of meat that's roasted and sliced to order. It's some frankenstein meat lol. It's like Subway's claim of chicken.... it's technically mostly chicken but it definitely isn't the normal stuff you get at real restaurants (view marketplace episode for the details).
-
Well it's not much different from how processed chicken was used to make McNuggets for years. I'd assume cold cuts are the same idea. I remember watching one of those "how is it made" with how they make hot dogs and how they give it a smokey flavour and how it starts as a gray gooey paste and they add color to make it more appetizing.... sometimes ignorance is bliss lol.
-
No wonder why McMahon wants to cash out before the next time they need to renew tv contracts. Yikes.
-
I knew a few people who had worked at Arby's years ago..... I don't know about eating meat that came to them in goo form which they then congealed and cooked and pass it off as roast beef. The fries were on point though.
-
Bad news!
-
Apparently they are coming down hard on Storm Trooper Rifles LOL.... I'm assuming Lethbridge has never had a comic-con before....
-
It all makes sense now...
-
I agree for the most part.... however if we ever draft a skinny white receiver early on I will be skeptical
-
Sounds like a lot of grey area.... fortunately Trudeau is an expert on this and will make the judgement rather then consulting with others. .
-
I've shot and handled... never owned and really no reason to. I don't hunt and based on my time playing Rainbow 6 Vegas... I'm more of a shield and pistol guy.
-
Sadly this made my day...possibly month! The location on Henderson used to be busy all of the time it was surprising that it closed down. The food is light years better then the crap at McD's and BK....
-
I've had it many times, it's tasty and the lady is absolutely bonkers who owns it. Not very spicy IMO.... I had some really spicy Ethopian food down the street (name escapes me).... now that stuff is deadly.
-
As I said before.... sick people will find a way to kill (or attempt) with whatever they want. Hammers...chainsaws.....
-
Well the gun nuts will claim that they like to collect.... Personally (only my opinion), only the Military and law enforcement should have access to these types of guns. I don't believe you need a Call of Duty weapon to gun down a raging moose / bear.....
-
I said they make up a large majority of our prison population. They don't tend to have assault rifles. So how does banning assault rifles lower the crime rate. You (more so Tracker) made it seem like I'm a racist because I brought up facts and numbers. I just find that weird.
-
So getting rid of assault rifles will help them how? Will this gun ban drop the aboriginal crime rates? My original point was that no it will not. With those types of gun the organized crime who carries them will just keep smuggling them over the border.
-
So basically you are agreeing with me with the numbers and that poverty + culture equals higher crime rates? Clearly crime rate would reduce if you removed poverty + cultures that promote crime. Are you saying that if you removed 75% of the criminals from Manitoba that someone else would take their spot? Maybe for organized crime but for all other crime that's a ridiculous statement. I don't understand why you added all those other bullet points, at no point did I place blame on anyone for why crime is high aside from saying culture + poverty. It comes off very weird. Currently we have a very relaxed justice system and based off what you said it clearly is not working since it's a higher repeat offender rate. I gave you an example that people purposely cause crime because they want someone to take care of them during winter months. That shows how relaxed our system is. I'm not sure if the term is snowflake (i'm old) but I don't get why folks like Tracker and Mark H are so terrified about offending despite the numbers showing the truth? It's a dangerous mindset to have. Need to face reality instead of fantasy and being afraid to tackle the truth will never solve anything. Move on from blaming residential schools that was a valid response many years ago, now days it's a totally different reason for why things are the way they are. For the record back in my day I took Grade 12 law and my teacher told us about how it's normal on reserves for parents to pass around their under age daughters around the community for sexual favors and tried to pass that off that it's not a bad thing because that's normal in their culture. Maybe it's my mindset but personally I don't believe that's right... but since my Grade 12 law teacher said so I should accept it?

I'd drink the rootbeer milk.... use it for milkshakes maybe also? Now for the rumour that I hope the t-cona folks on here can confirm.... New Wendy's opening up on Regent and Plessis??? This end of town is sadly without Wendys after both of them closed down

Running from his wife that is
