DRIVIN' AROUND WINNIPEG:
I HOPE THEY NEVER COME BACK TO LIFE PART TWO:
     It's over the Slaw Rebchuk bridge travelling north I go, a bridge named after a socialist by a government that is the furthest from such views as may be possible. Come over Slaw Rebchuk travelling north, and the first thing you see (more or less) is the roof of Nepon Motors. The roof proclaiming "Welcome To The North End".Nice and welcoming I may say, but since last Fall the roof has been missing its decades' long coda: "People Before Profit". The Winnipeg Free Press has conducted a poll, and 60% of respondants want the coda restored. The response of the management of Nepon Motors has been rather confused. On the one hand they claim that the decades long. "People Before Profit" sign on their roof was the work of "vandals" On the second hand they promise to restore in after driving this route for over 25 years all that I can say is that, if it would be vandalism, that it took more than a quarter century to recognize it as such. Sounds like new (idiotic) management to me, abandoning a great customer draw May the results be on the bosses'  heads..
