Виннипег – город богатых "мужчин-спонсоров"
Согласно опросу, проведенному сайтом SeekingArrangement.com, Виннипег вошел в десятку канадских городов, в которых проживает больше всего так называемых "папиков" – поклонников молодых девушек модельной внешности и обладателей толстых кошельков. Выяснилось также, что в столице Манитобы на 1000 взрослых мужчин приходится 1.06 "папиков".
По данным опроса, средний возраст богатого любовника составляет 38 лет. Это означает, что термин "папик" в наши дни уже не соответствует образу пожилого богатого мужчины. Так называемый "спонсор" тратит на свою возлюбленную в среднем 4307 долларов в месяц, что составляет 19 процентов от его заработной платы. Число "папиков", связавших себя узами брака, снизилось с 46% до 31% по сравнению с 2007 годом.

В последнем предложении о работе вроде предлагают от 14 до 18. Думаю что примерно в этих пределах вначале, а потом может и выше. Я не знаю как насчет быстро, но у меня была пара знакомых, работающих на станках cnc.

Рынок элитной недвижимости в Виннипеге укрепил свои позиции
По данным отчета, опубликованного компанией RE/MAX, количество сделок о купле-продаже элитных домов в Виннипеге за первый квартал 2013 года выросло на 5 процентов по сравнению с тем же периодом за прошлый год. С января по март в Виннипеге был продан 61 дом стоимостью 500 тысяч долларов и больше. Стоит отметить, что в целом по Канаде объемы продаж на рынке элитной недвижимости постоянно снижаются.
Кроме того, в последнее время в столице Манитобы был отмечен рост строительства новых элитных домов высокого класса по качеству архитектуры, отделки и комфортности проживания. По мнению специалистов, эта тенденция служит показателем стабильности рынка недвижимости в Виннипеге.

День Виктории: развлечения в Виннипеге
20 мая канадцы будут праздновать День Виктории. Праздник будет совмещен с выходными, чтобы у жителей страны была возможность отдохнуть на протяжении трех дней. В Виннипеге во время "длинного уикенда" пройдут развлекательные мероприятия для жителей города.
В художественной галерее Манитобского музея пройдет выставка "100 художников", в рамках которой будут представлены работы таких великих мастеров, как Ван-Гог, Моне, Рембрандт, Пикассо и многих других. Музей будет работать в выходные дни.
Посетив старинный железнодорожный вокзал Prairie Dog Central Railway в воскресенье утром, 19 мая, вы сможете прокатиться на паровозе и стать героем настоящего вестерна. Во время прогулки на поезд нападет банда вооруженных головорезов на лошадях и ограбит пассажиров. Поезд отправится в путь в 11 утра. Билеты можно приобрести в железнодорожной кассе, по телефону или он-лайн на сайте вокзала.
Один из излюбленных канадцами способов проведения праздничных вечеров – встреча с друзьями в пабе за кружкой пива и просмотром спортивного матча. В субботу, воскресенье и понедельник вечером во многих пабах Виннипега будут транслироваться чемпионаты по хоккею в прямом эфире.

Особенно порадовала перспектива быть ограбленным в поезде! Да еще и билет купить на это!
Ой не могу, веселые они - канадцы!
А если серьезно, я бы поехала на этом поезде! С удовольствием!
