Honda’s Airbag Recall Grows

Written By Lyndon | No Comments

Massive worldwide recalls have grown to almost one million since the airbag recall was first issued in 2008. With 41,000 of them in Canada, it doesn’t match up to the numbers of the U.S. which hit a whopping 378,000. These mainly point to 2001 and 2002 models. Surprising though as it took 6 years to officially announce a recall.

8:00 pmto10:00 pm

The infamous quartet Diamond Rio will be performing at the Club Regent Casino this Tuesday, January 19th at 8PM.

Diamond Rio has always been one of my favourite country-rock bands. Their songs are amazing and they’re great to watch live.

Check out the video below to see one of their past live performances.

Tickets will be $52.50 and should be worth every penny.

You can get your tickets at TicketMaster.

A Great Year for Downtown

Written By Stacey | No Comments

Winnipeg Downtown Biz released a nice list of positive changes for downtown that occurred in 2009. Since I live downtown I’m always happy to hear of the things being planned and worked on. What I am surprised about is how many of these items i haven’t heard about.  Now we are on the biz’s media release list we’ll be more informed. I’m very happy to see that Ciclovia managed to bring 10,000 people downtown to support active transportation especially with what seemed to be last minute advertising. Maybe we’ll see a car share soon?

Here is the full list.

It’s 7:18 AM

Written By Lyndon | 1 Comment

I’m going to forget for a moment that I’ve been at the office since 3:00 PM CST. I’ll set aside the fact that I’m lactose intolerant and had a hefty fettucini alfredo dinner. I can even come to terms with our current windchill warning and that my outdoor parking lot has no electricity running at the moment, which is forcing me to run out and start my car every 3 hours or so to ensure I’m able to leave work the moment I’m allowed to.

Taking all that into account, I’m not able to accept why all the heat in my office is being routed to the bathroom. We’re wearing jackets at the desk while the bathroom is like a spa sauna.

It’s 7:18 AM. Stay warm Winnipeg!
