Social Planning Council Hindering Winnipeg Growth

There is a group in Winnipeg that's been around since 1919, the Social Planning Council. It's current leader is Wayne Helgason, an aboriginal.

I feel that this group is part of the problem of why Winnipeg has been growing its underclass sinc about 1987 and the skilled middle-class has been leaving since about 1990.

What has the SPC ever done to improve Winnipeg for everyone? I think they've just helped to expand the underclass here.

If Winnipeg is to grow into a large metropolis on the scale of other cities like Minneapolis Minnesota, Toronto Ontario, or Chicago Illinois, we seriously need to either:
  1. Re-examine the leadership of this organization
  2. Get rid of the SPC itself
They are holding us back, and have been helping to make Winnipeg a backwater, a hick-town.
