An eerie quiet can be detected throughout the city's core the night before any government cheque is to be issued, particularly the child/welfare pay days. It is the calm before the storm, or Winnipeg's nadir of crime stats for the month.
Then the sun rises, and the one of the most vile Mardi Gras is on, Winnipeg style! Social degradation and severe intoxication usually peaks that day for the month. News desks are overloaded (more than usual) with ghastly tales of house party stabbings, sexual assaults, drunk driving smash-ups and recreational vandalism.
After that, the 30-day wait begins, muggings for profit returns to the norm for a past time, and Winnipeg's Cycle of Shame repeats.
You know, I'd like to contest that analysis, so maybe one day it'll stop being one-hundred-percent completely accurate and then I can come back and argue about it.
What is a GST cheque? Oh right my tax dollars subsidizing "Beer and Popcorn" sales.
