Comment on Urban Exchange participant profile: Brian MacKinnon by Hart Peikoff

Hello,
Many people simply talk the talk. Brian MacKinnon is a brilliant shining star of hope for those who require and benefit from his vision. He most definitely walks the walk.
It is one thing to put forth ideas which claim will assist the impoverished in our community. It is an altogether different initiative to teach the impoverished to desire to learn how to fish so they can eat for a life time. Helping the young to embrace the possibility of change by wanting it; needing it won’t cut. Embracing this mindset is a blessing from above.

Self esteem can move mountains and Brian teaches students they can access this wonderful state. The kids are also aware self esteem does not come delivered on ones plate for free.
As the old expression states; “God provides food for the birds however he does not place the food in their nest.”

The Y Not program has been a blessing for thousands of inner city kids.
It not only gives them a place to go where they generally experienced a positive return. It assists in relieving boredom. Boredom is one of the first indicators of trouble ahead on the horizon.

Brian has the same soul set as the late Rev.Harry Lehotsky [1957-2006 ]
Both these men instinctively knew what works and what didn’t.

Our city is better off as a result of these mens compassion and wisdom.
Thanks to both of them.

Sincerely,
Hart Peikoff

Comment on Poverty in Sight: A Winnipeg Perspective by Judy Fazio

From the results shown on the “definitions of poverty: age group” graph I got the idea that the younger age groups may not see the connection between higher education and higher quality of life since that bar was lower as in comparison to the older age groups.

I Love Winnipeg because I spend there the best three month of my life!!!
I met so many nice Canadians and people from all over the world.
Winnipeg’s people are so nice, friendly, kind….just everything.
It got some really really nice places to go shopping and the forks is the best place to releax.
Lake Winnipeg is one of my most favorute places…you can experience the countyside and maybe you can see some bears.

If you want to experience winter then you definitly have to go to Winnipeg and you will experience a real Winter for sure.
Cold and snowy!!!

If you want to visit a city where you want to releax but if you want to experince the city life as well then go to Winnipeg!

I LOVE IT AND I AM GOING BACK EVERYTIME I AM ABLE TO!
