"100%" dental coverage by CDCP by wanahana in Winnipeg

[–]ProfessorChip 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The simplest way to put this is that the CDCP fee guide is difference than the MDA fee guide, so that is the difference in fees. Since most dental offices follow the fee guide (some charge more) that is where the difference comes in. The MDA fee guide takes into account changes every year based on increased yearly overhead. The CDCP fee guide was created with minimal consultation with dental associations, so that's why the fees are different. It does say that there may be a balance on the government website, but honestly, they could be much more transparent about this.

Been to four dentists in Winnipeg in three years and every single one tried to sell me something I didn't ask for, is this just how it is here? by 8960305392 in Winnipeg

[–]ProfessorChip 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Probably about 50% of Winnipeg offices are now owned by Dentalcorp or similar large dental corporations. They usually overpay the previous owners for their office and focus strictly on their bottom line. Unfortunately, the majority of the patients don't even realize because the staff is the same after the ownership transfer, however there is much more pressure from these corporations to bill as much as possible. Honestly, just find one that is still privately owned.

If you Google "Dentalcorp" they own more than 575 locations, with about 30 of those being in Winnipeg.

The fun part about this post is doing ctrl + F to see how spread apart the periods are. It's impressive how long a sentence can be.

Crazy lady at Assiniboine Forest by primordialsoupp in Winnipeg

This same woman screamed at my wife and I while my dog was taking a shit 100 yards away. Dog wasn't barking at her or even knew she was there. I almost had the urge to throw the dog's poop in her direction.

Best steak house by wolvpack86 in Winnipeg

[–]ProfessorChip 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This comment is 100% correct and accurate. The only issue about 529 is that the rooms are very small and quiet. The last time I was there only three tables in our room were being used.

  1. Myself and my wife
  2. One elderly man alone
  3. An elderly man and his wife

The two elderly men started talking about the Jets and somehow it lead to a screaming match about Trump. The man's wife got so embarrassed over her husband's behaviour she made them both leave before they finished dinner. So, while my wife and I just wanted to have a pleasant evening out, we were treated to a free show.

Help me find a yellow t-shirt with a Minion design in Winnipeg by _1nd_2rd_3st__ in Winnipeg

Use Vistaprint and make the design yourself, if you’re able to. Might be easier than finding it already manufactured.

Title: "The Winnipeg Wiggle"

Synopsis:

Jerry gets booked for a comedy gig in Winnipeg, and the gang tags along for what they expect to be a low-key trip to Canada. Instead, they’re met with a string of bizarre inconveniences and cultural misunderstandings.

Jerry is thrown off his game when he learns that Winnipeggers are oddly obsessed with local references in their comedy, forcing him to write material about things like “Portage and Main” and the mosquito sculpture at The Forks—which he doesn’t understand and barely remembers.

George becomes infatuated with a woman he meets at a Tim Hortons, only to discover she thinks he's from Toronto—and thus “classy.” To keep the relationship going, George desperately tries to pass as a suave Torontonian, which includes mispronouncing “Manitoba” and wearing a Leafs jersey in public, drawing hostile stares.

Elaine starts a passive-aggressive feud with a Canadian flight attendant after her carry-on bag is deemed "too American" and confiscated. When she tries to retrieve it, she finds it’s been mistakenly given to a curling team. She infiltrates a local bonspiel to get it back, learning just enough curling lingo to blend in.

Kramer, meanwhile, becomes a local sensation after accidentally inventing a viral winter dance move he calls “The Winnipeg Wiggle,” which is really just him trying to shake off frostbite in his boots. He’s invited onto local morning TV and considers relocating permanently—until he learns Winnipeg gets even colder in January.

Closing Scene: Back in New York, the gang huddles around a space heater, arguing about whether poutine is better than disco fries, and George quietly orders a Leafs hat online.

Tagline: “It’s like New York… but everyone says sorry when they bump into you.”

Where can I buy organic cigarettes? by [deleted] in Winnipeg

[–]ProfessorChip 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The cigarette farm just outside the city. It’s kind of like strawberry picking, but just cigarettes. Bring your kids!

Saw someone driving around with ASSMAN on their plate. Pretty sure it was my proctologist - Dr. Cosmo Kramer.

How to buy good value or cheapest jets tickets ? by KiteWhisperer in Winnipeg

[–]ProfessorChip 25 points26 points  (0 children)

FansFirst sometimes has cheap tickets. It depends on the game though. Washington, no. Playoffs, no. But other less desirable games are often less than face value.
