In Episode 31, you’ll hear exclusive news about how the City of Winnipeg started the reconstruction of Portage and Main and managed on the first day to screw up not one, not two, but three different requirements to keep the public properly informed about the week-long closure of Portage Avenue East.
And it isn’t just us ‘saying it’. You’ll hear the details – including an eyewitness account of the chaos – in Part 2 of the episode, which begins at 7.45.

20.40- The bigger picture is that on DAY 1 of Scott Gillingham’s ‘Team Open’ approved project, his team at 510 Main Street FAILED.
You’ll hear how a city official admitted in an email that as we suspected, stakeholders and drivers alike were failed, although it wasn’t clarified who is responsible for failing to do their job.
Marty Gold asks questions about why the public service continually screws up, and why councillors and the Mayor refuse to ensure taxpayers get the services they are paying for.
Listeners are asked to chime in for a special poll about City Hall.
In Part 1 — Marty Gold provides a brief overview of his recent columns and reports in the Winnipeg Sun – exclusives about the failure of Winnipeg Police to maintain the trust of the Jewish community, and about a child seen in a homeless encampment with drug users.
