## Resource

Winnipeg’s city government is dodging responsibility like a shell game, piling cleanup costs on landlords and homeowners while blaming the province for homelessness and mental health crises. When residents face garbage-strewn lots and encampments, the city points fingers — at Manitoba Housing, at provincial ministers — instead of stepping up. The mayor’s solution? Tell citizens to contact their MLA. As essential services like policing and garbage collection remain under city control, the refusal to own up to social challenges is eroding trust. Residents are left cleaning up the fallout — and wondering if their government is even doing its job. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
