I won’t repeat the racist comment.

What I will repeat is encouragement for young people to call out hatred and move beyond negativity.

Unity is stronger than division.

We are One Manitoba, One Canada, and one human race.

Grew up in Markham and Toronto…moved here in 1999…moved back to Toronto in 2002 (after all, it was “home”) and within the year my husband and I moved BACK to Winnipeg! We chose this city and have never looked back ❤️

[Hal Anderson @halanderson]

Every now and then, somebody takes a shot at Winnipeg. It’s too cold, too small, not a “destination.”

Yes, we have our issues, but talk like that really bugs me. And it should bother you too.

Because here’s the disconnect: the people who actually spend real time here tend to come away saying the exact opposite.

Ryan Kuffner at Winnipeg Economic Development and Tourism says they’ll bring someone in for 24 hours to show them the city and more often than not, they’re sold.

For me, it’s our people. And that’s the part you can’t package in a brochure.

I was talking about this on my radio show this week and it hit home for me. My sister is coming for a visit this summer. She hasn’t been here in years.

I’m going to show her why I picked Winnipeg and still love it with all my heart after 37 years.

Most of us aren’t flying in investors or NHL players. But we all get moments with friends, family, coworkers and even strangers where we can shape how this city is seen.

I agree with Kuffner that we’ve got a perception problem.

So let’s fix it! One conversation at a time…
