[edit] POV Check
Seems like the author has a personal viewpoint and a personally invested tone. terms like "disastrous mistake" and "usurpation" are good indicators of this. Needs a fresh start. 24.79.92.100 14:14, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fact check
"Winnipeg's population has grown by only about 20% in the last 35 years, while that of Calgary has tripled, and those of Vancouver and Edmonton have more than doubled." - to attribute that fact to the city merger in 1971 without ANY citation is pretty silly. I'd imagine the oil boom in Alberta might have *something* to do with Calgary and Edmonton.... Someone who knows a bit more about Winnipeg than me should take a new stab at this article.24.79.92.100 14:36, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
The fact remains that Winnipeg's population has grown by only 20% since 1971. How do you explain Vancouver's growth or Saskatoon's for that matter? I don't think the article attributes slow growth to the city merger but I would suggest it points out that Unicity has failed to reverse Winnipeg's demographic and economic decline.
Whichever the answer, citations and actual facts are required.24.79.92.100 14:31, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
It is nonsense to compare Winnipeg's growth to Calgary's in the context of this topic, as Calgary has had a unicity structure since it annexed a number of communities in the 1960s.
