Talk:Transcona, Winnipeg

Important Dates
I could be wrong, but the last few important dates in Transcona's history don't seem that important. I don't know much about sports, but they seem to be some kind of sports victory, probably not on a large scale, which I don't think is really worthy of the History of Transcona. However, I will leave this up for discussion here. Spock of Vulcan (talk) 23:00, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * It appears that this issue has since been solved. Just thought I'd make a note of that here. Spock of Vulcan (talk) 16:07, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Sound clip
It is well known that Transcona residents have a unique english accent. It would be nice if we could add an exemplar sound clip.


 * Well known by whom? Been a Winnipegger for the past 27 years, and a Transconian for the past 2.5, I've never heard mention of that (though I have heard other, non-encyclopedic comments about the residents).  Transcona's a mix of people from all over Winnipeg, so there's not much chance of a "Transcona accent."  (And, before you ask I"m not contributing my voice for a few reasons:  1) I'm not originally from Transcona, 2) I've only lived in Transcona for two and a half years, and 3) I have a speech impediment (completely unrelated to living in Transcona!) which would not be a good example of any kind of accent.)  --Canuckguy 04:23, 9 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Agreed, no such thing. I've lived in t-cona since i was 6, and the closest thing to a "transcona accent" is that lots of people around here are idiots and speak as such.  terrible grammar, but other than lack of teeth, no distinct 'accent' --aoystreck

I think the references to Trashcona should be removed. This is obviously as bad as making vulgar comments about the north end of the city. Its very degrading. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.77.254.0 (talk) 17:29, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Proposed page move
As per WP:CANSTYLE, this article should be moved to Transcona, Winnipeg. In accordance with the guideline, however, the move is first being raised on the talk page. Skeezix1000 (talk) 16:59, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * This has already been done. Just making a note of that here. Spock of Vulcan (talk) 16:18, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Terry Fox
Pretty sure Terry Fox is not a "minor" celebrity. 71.17.200.66 (talk) 22:35, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
