Winnipeg

City of Crime - a friend of ours, Kellee  who is a street nurse here says its way more dangerous than Toronto. She won't walk alone at night. The random violence is horrendous here.
City of government - beautiful Provincial capital. Lots of fascinating history of the place as Fort Geary. All these cities are forts. But not forts of nation states, forts of corporations.
City of Metis - the centre of Louis Riel. Mac went to his old house there.
City of anarchists - there is Mondragon, an anarchist cafe, and bookstore. There's the anarchist grocery store. Office space, library, magazines, publishers. The place is like an anarchist utopia.
