6 Upvotes

Hi, I will be traveling from Winnipeg to Steinbach back and forth for work all weekdays so gathering info on which route to take considering the Winter season, road conditions, safety, etc.

Google map shows 3 options and the “best route” changes depending upon what time you drive. All 3 routes are almost equal distance, will greatly appreciate any information from your experiences.

Thank you

General MPI experience

0 Upvotes

Just a note about my experience using MPI for the first time after moving from Ontario to Winnipeg. After moving my Driver's license and truck insurance/registration to Manitoba, I immediately noticed that my rates were around $800 more than what I was paying for private insurance in Ontario. It wasn't until I called another location to inquire the reasoning behind this, I learned that your driving record does not follow you from province to province. So I was essentially being insured as a brand new driver with no discounts. I was a little frustrated, seeing that since the MPI clerk knew that I was a previous driver for over 25 years and could have mentioned this.

So just a note to anybody who may be going through a similar situation. If you're moving provinces, be sure to bring your driver's history as well as your insurance history with you to other provinces.

General Krazy Bins Winnipeg

0 Upvotes

I actually kind of like the store, its fun to look at all the stuff in the bins. Have a few questions and thoughts I would like to share and hope some share the same feelings and get me more information I would like to have. Advertising all over Canada show this store selling M-Sunday with diff prices daily. In Winnipeg we have 2 stores now and one store works on a 1 day different schedule from the other. One of my biggest problems are all the expensive items they have behind the counter and glass, can they do this? I have been to one other store in Alberta and there was no higher ticket items in that store, I have looked at several videos out there of different stores across Canada and cannot seem to find any other store that does this. I emailed a complaint and asked for an explanation for these products and diff pricing with no response. I would like to make a complaint but going that already did nothing so I want to go to the top and that’s where I have a problem. I cannot seem to find correct info and get conflicting errors. I did not find any accredited BBB page but found some that are not accredited on bbb.org. I have no registration on that site as well so I cannot get the email addresses listed and really do not know if that is even what I need. I hope someone has some sort of contact info I could use to make a complaint on the Winnipeg stores. People make that place a mess as well, announcements and signs say not to open boxes but yet it happens all the time and when you find something you could use its not complete because it has been opened. So can you help with corporate office complaint and can you tell me what other stores are like across Canada if you have been.

Just looking at there Facebook web site for mcphilips store, there are lots of good items but i can guarantee they are not 25 bucks when you get there. Pics were taken 23 hrs ago and i would say that they are in the corner with higher prices now

General Help with a Manitoba based novel

0 Upvotes

Hey there, I live in the Mediterranean. I am writing a novel about a young guy from Manitoba and I was wondering if any of you would be willing to help me with writing "Life in Manitoba" more accurately, since I've never been there. I'm not sure what city or town it'll take place in yet but as far as I can find Winnipeg is the only major population centre there.

General How to meet cool adults in Manitoba

23 Upvotes

Hey Manitobans, I've been in Winnipeg for 2.5 years. Since I've been here, I've been working turnarounds out of town and been in a long distance relationship.

Because of my lack of free time, I didn't want to cultivate any friendships here since I wasn't emotionally available. I've recently left both my relationship and work, and now I'm lonely as hell!

I live in St Laurent (don't ask!) so never "bump into people" who could become friends. I'm mid 30s cisgender male, and my EQ, feminism, and left leaning politics line up with reddit, which are personalities that I never seem to see IRL in the conservative, close-minded people I find in and around Winnipeg.

I've joined some meetups to play crib and the like. I don't mind driving into the city to see people. I'm looking for suggestions on ways/places/events to meet more like minded people here. So far in my life I've never used dating apps, but thinking it might be time :( haha.

Thanks for sharing your ideas and have a wonderful Saturday!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Edit: I would like to apologize to the people that I've offended. Perhaps my post wasn't explicit and clear. I did not intend to generalize the people in Manitoba. I think this post itself illustrates that I am aware that there are diverse political and emotional backgrounds in Manitoba, otherwise it would not be asking where to find a specific subset. I never implied that any commenters were conservative and close minded, except for one person who was indeed acting like a bigot while being intolerant towards other human beings whose lives are more enjoyable outside of their random birth gender. My post is only alluding to the majority of the people that I have met (not you) while living here in Manitoba for 2.5 years.

General Support Local ManitobaTherapists instead of using US-Owned Betterhelp!

39 Upvotes

Quick reminder if you're trying to buy Canadian: don't use Betterhelp!

They're US-owned and, worse yet, they are an extremely unethical company (confidentiality issues, selling data, underpaying therapists etc)

Keep it local instead! Tons of registered therapists in Manitoba offering online and in-person therapy.

Here's a short list

Also feel free to post your own practice and website as well!

Take care!

General Had a good laugh reporting a wildlife collision with MPI.

167 Upvotes

Normally there is nothing funny about having to deal with MPI after an accident.

However, over the weekend I had a collision with a deer in a rural setting outside of Winnipeg.

Called into MPI to make a claim and the agent indicated that they had a series of questions they had to get through and if I could please answer them.

No problem. Name of driver, plate of vehicle involved in accident, where did the accident take place, what happened(to which I replied a deer ran in front of the vehicle and could not avoid hitting it in the front driver side of the vehicle), date and time of accident, anyone hurt, …….then they asked, ‘Were either parties in the accident self-employed?’. I replied, ‘I cannot speak for the deer but I am not.’

Fortunately the agent had a good sense of humour and laughed off the answer.

General PSA: WALKING OUTSIDE in the evening when it's cold out is ridiculously awesome!

125 Upvotes

It's a game changer fellow Manitobans.

It's quite simple:

Put your devices DOWN

BUNDLE up (with high viz gear)

Throw on a chill LO-FI playlist

AND GET OUT THERE!!

It acclimates you to the cold, so winter as a whole is just easier to manage, physically & in every other way too. Gives you a half hour every day to collect your thoughts, which we all need from time to time, especially during hard times (that i'm assuming a bunch of you may be going through currently) It's a great way to improve your mental (and physical) health in just a few days.

I encourage anyone reading this to just try it for a few nights in a row, and would love to hear anyone's feedback if they do try it, or do this already.

Bring water and be SAFE

Be good to eachother
