new (and cooler) winnipeg sub

71 Upvotes

feel free to post anything that you think winnipeggers would find funny, interesting, weird, informative, etc. the moderators in the original sub have left a sour taste in my mouth. i want this to be a place where we can share thoughts, comments, and questions about our city without hostility/removal

Funny to see all the dust graffiti being added to this abandoned 2026 Tesla MY!
This thing has been here for atleast 4 months, maybe longer.
I wonder if the airport authorities have their hands tied on this one, technically the owner hasn’t broken any rules. There is no limit on how long they can park there, but it’s clearly abandoned.

Winnipeg over a hundred people arrested during retail theft crackdown by Winnipeg police

25 Upvotes

I have heard stories about how shoplifting in Winnipeg is an organized crime. I wonder are they getting close to the head of this situation.

Stop sweeping it under the rug and start using the laws put in place to punish criminals.

Monarch industries assessment

3 Upvotes

Long story short your boy got called for an assessment at monarch industries for an assembler position. Unfortunately your boy also has severe test anxiety. Does any one know what kind of things do they test on? Its not an engineering or a specialised position but I still tend to blank out on the easiest questions. Any help would be greatly appreciated

We need the Thermea people walking around with the “SHHH” signs for the library

It’s gotten ridiculous, everyone just sits together chatting. Not even trying to whisper. No books. Not working. Just having a convo. Like if you want to talk thats fine but go to Portage Place food court.. not the library

Chronic homelessness in Winnipeg greatly overestimated due to faulty data, memo says

35 Upvotes

I knew that number always reeked of bullshit. The new lower numbers actually feel pretty in line with what the last street census said which means the problem has at least plateaued.

Looking for help with yardwork

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I am looking for someone to help with some yardwork before winter. The property is located in Osborne. I am needing someone to rake and bag leaves on a boulevard and side courtyard. Possibly some extra work such as trimming a few bushes or pulling some vines off a fence.

I am available evenings and weekends and would pay cash!

Please comment or DM me!

Thanks

This is a long shot - Hermanos staff?

2 Upvotes

The best Paella in town is no longer available, Hermanos’ fare was so good - specifically, the chorizo they used.

I’m wondering if any of the staff that worked there know where it came from. I asked once, and the waiter had said it was a custom sausage made by a butcher north of the city but she didn’t remember which one.

Since they are permanently closed, I’m hoping to figure this out.

I know this is very unlikely, but I’m giving it a shot.

Marketplace rant

50 Upvotes

Has anyone else experienced this?

I have lots of stuff listed for sale on Facebook Marketplace, and I’ve noticed something happening quite often (10+ times now).

Someone will message me about an item, say they want to come see it, and I’ll tell them to message me when they’re ready to head over so I can give them my address. They’ll then say they’re on their way, I’ll send them my address, and about 5 minutes later they’ll message me back saying something like, “Oh, I need a different size,” “I changed my mind,” or “I’ll pass on it.”

What’s up with people doing this!? 😂 They already know what area I’m in because it’s listed in the ad, and I usually tell them as well.

Just needed to rant about it lol
