North End

I'm putting a special focus during this election on St. Boniface, given that this is where I am and have been operating out of for, uh, over 15 years.

And, uh, uh, I'm, I'm unique, uh, you know, being a Nor- you know, North End boy, and I've lived all sorts of neighborhoods.

But I was very lucky to get into a good location here, and it's, uh, it's lasted.

I've watched the changes in the neighborhood.

Also, Toronto historian and author Frank Bialystok, he was also passionate about organ donation for a very good reason.

And two Winnipeggers, TV producer Perry Rosemond, who went from the North End to Hollywood and back and created Canadian iconic TV shows like The King of Kensington.

He's King of Kensington!

Also, Tova Vicker from Winnipeg.

So it was a very nice connection at the end for him.

If you're listening to North Star, you can also watch our interviews on the Canadian Jewish News' YouTube channel.

We are going to move from Toronto and the Holocaust to Winnipeg's North End.

And a person who probably from behind the scenes touched so many Canadians of my age who grew up in the 60s because Perry Rosemond, who died at the age of 89 – in Toronto, was the creator of the TV series, The King of Kensington, but also Mr. Dress-Up, Friendly Giant, later on for younger generation, Fraggle Rock, and so many shows, Hockey Night in Canada, Royal Canadian Air Force.

That is the neighborhood I grew up in, so I'm paying attention to this.

Gillingham spent Tuesday afternoon visiting residents and businesses along Main Street between Carruthers, which is a back lane and the traditional dividing line between the North End and West Kildonan.

I grew up on Lansdowne.

So I grew up on the south side of Lansdowne.

The nation says Mispoustic members will patrol the area to share information with hunters about their moose count and the closure.

To Winnipeg, where residents of the North End recently held an annual walk, an event that got its start during the pandemic.

With more, Kira Stevens.

Winnipeg's Indigenous Vision for the North End is doing their annual Smudge the North End walk.

Smudging is often done to cleanse the mind, body, and spirit of negative energy.

Originally, Smudge the North End started as a COVID response.

You know, people weren't allowed to access medicine or had to be social distance.

And this was our response to that, to make sure that, you know, community had access to medicine.

Several of those involved in the strike would rise to political prominence.

Abraham Heaps represented Winnipeg's North End and the House of Commons for 15 years, while John Queen, one of those arrested and convicted alongside Russell, would eventually serve as mayor of Winnipeg.

J.S. Woodsworth, meanwhile, would use Winnipeg as his home base in crafting Canada's first successful socialist political party, a story we'll get to down the road.

If Alfred Andrews' goal was to suppress the labour movement as a political force in Winnipeg, his efforts backfired in spectacular fashion.
