Moving to France in a couple months, guess I can cross Notre Dame off the things to see list.
Seeing the ruins will be just as awe inspiring.

That and the scaffolding.Seeing the ruins will be just as awe inspiring.
Wow what a terrible mistake if that's what happened . Seeing castles and buildings that are thousands of years old when we were in Ireland was unreal especially when you come front a country that is less than 200 years oldLooks like there was an accident due to the renovations they are doing. I guess it wouldn't take much to start a fire, some of that building is 800 years old
I urge everyone to support BerMax Caffe on at 1800 Corydon. The cafe has been the victim of five antisemitic incidents since opening, and was nearly destroyed Thursday night, when perpetrators broke into the cafe after closing, assaulting a Woman who had to be taken to hospital, and vandalized with swastikas spray painted on the walls, and damaged coolers, tables, and most of the plates.
This is one of the worst hate crimes in Winnipeg history, and we must come together as a community, in order to stop this activity before it gets worse.

From the Winnipeg based Jewish Post & News:
"While the police have characterized this most recent incident as a "hate crime", the possibility exists, however, that something else is behind the spate of vandalism at BerMax. We are not going to disclose the information that would lead us to suggest something else may be afoot, but we would like to remind readers that in 2017, Jewish community centres throughout the United States were put on high alert by threats arriving over the internet. It turned out that the threats were all coming from a teenaged American boy living in Israel."

I read the article, and came to the conclusion that reading between the lines, the article suggests this may be an inside job.
I really thought about it on the weekend, considering I used to walk my dog in the area years ago. It's a very busy location, being a block or two off Kenaston. Why would they not install surveillance videos? So many unanswered questions....______________________________________________
Where there's a crime, with an excessive amount of anything -- a lot of times it's a red herring to throw the Copps off --or try to. It could be a former employee that was fired etc. It could be punks breaking in for cash, and trying to throw the Copps off the trail. Could be the owners, for whatever reason ??
It just seems odd to me that there were not excessive break ins to any other place in the area, or other buildings were not targeted. I would not be surprised if this turns out to "not" be a"hate related" -Antisemitic crime.
This seems a little to much that the perpertrators would take the time to spray paint swastikas etc. Seems a little "too much." If your robbing a place, you want to get in and out fast.
He's been around...probably taking a break from the nonstop season-ending shitslinging here for a bit...Figure I'd ask here... where's @ps241 been? Always enjoyed his posts, figure he'd have good thoughts on the whole playoffs/off-season.
I thought that someone was physically hurt in the latest incident*UPDATE*

You are correct. It was the owners mother.I thought that someone was physically hurt in the latest incident
BerMax owners arrested for staging the attack and anti-semitic graffiti in the restaurant. Some of you smelled something fishy going on here, as did that the Jewish Post & News website

I guess they saw it as a way to gain some press, sympathy and increased business? Really bizarre case
Good thing this got cleared up quickly. Pretty sure MacLean's was planning a follow-up to their most racist city article.
Hope they go under now. Crying wolf only makes people ignore legitimate threats.
Doesn't have to be anti-semitic, pick anything that is a real issue (general racism, sexual assualt, etc.) and you fake something and it numbs and distracts, all while creating doubt about sincerity. How is that smart?
