Winnipeg Roads Getting a Facelift this Year

Written By Ken | No Comments

The province will be putting in $38.1M this year to repair major roads, residential streets, and bike paths.

Winnipeg roads are constantly being hammered everyday (especially truck routes), so its nice to see the province putting a big investment into their maintenance.

$25M of the $38.1M budget will go towards major streets including Chief Peguis Trail, Jubilee Overpass, Sturgeon Road Bridge and Pembina Highway underpass. A $500,000 bike path will also be created along Pembina Highway.

The downside to all of this? Expect even more traffic delays!

The infamous GlobalTV video of Mayor Sam Katz kicking a boy in the head during a charity soccer game.

Best commentary reaction ever: “He booted him in the face in a election year!”

The boy was OK, and they Mayor got a yellow card.

GAP, Banana Republic, and Old Navy Launch Canadian Online Stores

Written By Ken | No Comments

Gap Inc. has finally launched online stores for three of their most popular brands: GAP, Old Navy, and Banana Republic.

The best part? They will also use a unified shopping cart so you can shop at all three stores online at once. For a limited time get FREE shipping on orders over $50. Since everything is being shipped from within Canada, there are no duty fees and no handling fees.

This is especially great news for Winnipeg since we still do not have a Banana Republic location in our city.

FREE RETURNS!
The main reason I hate shopping for cloths online is becuase you never really know how the fit. There are no change rooms to try them on first. The trio of Gap Inc. websites are also offering FREE RETURNS! Every order will come with a pre-paid Canada Post shipping label. If you don’t like your order, simply pack it back up in the box it came in, attach the pre-paid label and mail it out for a refund or exchange. Best idea ever.

Happy online shopping!
