No we are not Vancouver and no the rent here is not 2500 with 1100 discount. As a senior on a mostly fixed income I am aware of the least expensive shopping places (walmart, etc ) they have an up to date grocery app with their prices. Others such as Sobeys econo store and Superstore ( Loblaws) have them as well and on occasion have better prices Raisin Bread for example. My income as are many manitobans net of Charity giving so my taxes are nominal .
