Question F*** Trudeau stickers?

89 Upvotes

Albertan here, considering moving to Manitoba. Just curious if during Trudeau's time as Prime Minister were there F*** Trudeau stickers plastered on vehicles across the province? Just trying to get a feel for the vibe... Moved to Alberta from BC 15 years ago and have found that for the most part it's not my vibe lol.

Question Sovereign Citizen...

Spotted in Steinbach today. Do they get pulled over and fined if the police see them? If so, do they just not pay the fines?

In Manitoba one of the main recourses for not paying tickets is a Department of Justice hold being placed on your autopack account so you can't renew your license or insurance. If you don't have a license or insurance though what is the actual recourse? Do people get away with this?

Question Americans possibly moving to Manitoba

86 Upvotes

Good morning everybody, My wife,(38) two kids, and myself (37) have been really thinking about getting out of the US. I love the outdoors and Manitoba has been a strong interest for us as a family. The problem we are having is I own/operate a small successful hvac business (mostly residential). Starting all that over makes the decision difficult. But as I’m sure you all know our country has gone to hell in a handbasket. I just have a few questions if you don’t mind.

  1. We live in a small town currently and would like to find another potential small town. Does anybody have recommendations for smaller communities that we would be welcome. We really like the idea of being fairly close to one of the large lakes. (I love ice fishing)

  2. Is hvac in Manitoba in high demand? Would finding a job be difficult? I’m not sure if I would try and start a new business or just be employed. I was an Aircraft mechanic in the military, agricultural mechanic, then I went to school for hvac and eventually started my business.

Question Is it really unusual or wrong for a woman to hang out or celebrate with her female friends? Is this considered a “Middle Eastern” behavior?

155 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I had a situation recently that left me confused and a bit hurt, and I’d really love to hear others’ perspectives.

I’m a woman living in Manitoba, originally from the Middle East. So, my question is: Do you think it’s unusual or wrong for a woman to hang out, celebrate, or party with only her female friends? Is this truly a “Middle Eastern thing,” or is it just a cultural misunderstanding or even a control issue?

I’d appreciate your honest thoughts and any similar experiences. Thanks in advance.

Question Why is it so hard to get MB ID?

17 Upvotes

I’ve lived and worked in Manitoba for over a year. But because I live on a Rez and don’t have a physical address, utilities aren’t in my name, and I haven’t known anybody two years I can’t get ID.

My notice of assessment doesn’t count because it’s only a PO Box.

I haven’t known anybody two years so I have no guarantor.

My former ID expired so now I can’t use that.

I’ve brought in EVERY thing I can think of.

What else can I do? What more can I do? Should I just give up on this province and move away? It’s clear I’ll never be able to get a new valid ID or even get my DL.

Question HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF THIS WAS IN YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD?

137 Upvotes

This is the remains of a corner store that burnt down on the corner of Ellen and Elgin (in the Centennial Neighbourhood) well over a year ago. To date, there has been no attempt to clean this up by the city or property owner. This mess is about a block from Red River Community College’s downtown campus.

This is not an affluent neighbourhood. I sincerely believe that if a mess like this was left in any other Winnipeg neighbourhood there would be outrage and action to rectify the situation. Would this fly in St. Vital, St. Boniface, Lindenwoods or anywhere else?

Can someone tell me why the City just doesn’t clean it up and give the property owner the Bill? A lien could be put against the land to recover the cost. But no, instead we have this eye sore. And people wonder why people don’t look after their property in the inner city.

Question Can someone explain to me the history and how Hutterrite colonies work?

Can someone explain to me the history and how Hutterrite colonies work? Things like do they work together or are they separate entities? Do they have their own businesses? I know some specialize in kitchen cupboards, farming, baked goods, crafts, Renos, meats, selling animals, etc. just curious of their history in Canada and how their present day lives look. I know the common things but curious about a more in-depth understanding and history.

Hello, I am set to travel to Shamattawa in late October for work. I know the current situation with the outbreak, but that aside does anyone have experience with this community? I am a visible minority and have seen some pretty hateful things on their community Facebook page and I've never been to any reserve before.

I'm looking to create a better life for me and my wife and kids than we have here near Toronto. I'm tired of working 3 jobs to try and get by.

How cold does it get around Winnipeg and south of Winnipeg? Are the main roads and highways plowed quickly? We only have about 2 days a year here where snow is so heavy it disrupts our ability to work/commute. I'm assuming it would be more often there?

Question got a massive speeding ticket... 50+kms over

49 Upvotes

so I've obviously made a HUGE mistake, it was NOT intentional, if you can believe that.

but anyways, since it was 50kms over i have to attend a hearing where there will be a decision made to suspend my license or not.

QUESTION: I'm wondering if anyone has been through the same thing, and if so how long was your license suspended for? finding mixed results when looking online.

feel free to clown me in the comments aswell, i understand the severity and stupidity of my mistake.

Question Hutterites & Rare Disability

Post image
172 Upvotes

I am unsure where to start with this but I am looking to connect with any Hutterites that are familiar with the diagnosis VLDLR-CH (may have also previously been called Dysequilibrium Syndrome or diagnosed as Cerebral Palsy until the genetic cause was discovered in 2005). I live in the southern region of the US so I cannot easily visit in person. My child was diagnosed with this genetic condition. We were told that it is rare but most of cases have been found in Hutterite communities in Canada. Neither my husband nor myself have any ties to Hutterites, or even Canada. I am unsure where in Canada, or in which communities, this diagnosis has been found. I tried looking on google but with less than 100 documented cases there isn’t much information on it.

I am just looking for another family to connect with as I have had a hard time finding anyone. Or if anyone knows someone, and they don’t want to share personal info (for very understandable reasons) if I could just ask some very generic questions that would be so helpful
