The Canada Thread

I worked in Winkler back in the 70's. I was involved with putting in the sewer and water lines to a new subdivision south of the motel and even souther from the cement plant. :D I hated that town. At the time it still had one of the few remaining " mens only " bars. Um... are women allowed to drink there yet? :D
Speaking of alcohol...they passed a by-law a few years back prohibiting the sale of alcohol on Sundays. :24: I guess that means Morden gets more business on Sundays. :D
 
Winkler's been dry for as long as I can remember...no one's supposed to drink there :thumbdown
You have to be kidding me? You must be quite young? Um... you also never answered my question which was " do you Plout " ? Zirc... splain it to her if you have to ok. :)

So is it a dry town or not? Most Menno's drive to the next town anaways :24: ( note pronunciation ) when they want to drink so their neighbors don't see 'em. I could never figure that one out because they recognize most of the folks whereever they drink. It's like a family reunion. :24:

I think they sell alcohol there...except on Sundays. But you know, now I'm not sure. I tend to avoid Winkler. :D

I don't know if I plout...what is it?! Will I like it?! ;)
Plaut Dietsch...Mennonite German dialect. :nod::thumbup
 
I always thought it was dry, anyone I've known who's had to work there has stayed in Morden, to have a life :p
I Googled and The Heartland Inn in Winkler has a lounge and they sell booze and everything. What a modern little town. I heard they have a red light on the main drag now but not having been there in ions I haven't verified that. If Manitoba was to get an enema Winkler would be the spot.

As long as Del Rios survives. I love that restaurant. It's the only reason I ever go to Winkler. That and to visit a friend who unfortunately lives there. :ninja
 
I used to live in Portage...I've often referred to it as Manitoba's butthole :thumbdown Nice to hear that Winkler has 1 lounge where you can go have a drink and be frowned upon by anyone who sees you :thumbup
