Yes, all the season tickets sold out in a matter of minutes (13000+)
and there is a waiting list of 6000 more... we likes our hockey here.

But, yes, I would agree, newbies can get quite confused when faced
with them the first few times.
Winnipeg’ians are just overly excited about getting an NHL team
back! Ain’t got time to learn a new traffic pattern…………..

North Americans on the whole have problems knowing what to do with
roundabouts. We've just started implementing them in Winnipeg and
they've gotten quote a lot of complaints. lack of educamation.

Haha, nice one. Good job it was not my local council doing
that. Instead we are having all our roundabouts removed and
replaced with crossroads and traffic lights installed – all to
help with traffic flow for the sailing events for the Olympics
(2012)… apparently.
Rather than using a 14pt font, I would recommend the council buy
everyone larger monitors instead J

Not in the slightest. I am long-sighted, and I can read the guy
across the room's emails just fine from my desk.
However - to put this in perspective, here is another thing this
council have done recently...

Wow. The local government here in the UK that I work for, despite
being in the middle of the deepest cuts for two decades, have
decided to use our precious IT resources to.....enforce 14-point
Arial as the Outlook font for *all *users, just so that
partially-sighted people can be sure they can read our emails.
Amazing. I'm pretty sure eye tests and glasses have been available
to all since 1946...yet here we go.
It gets better, though. They have also decided to change *every
*single publication and communication that comes out of the
council to 14-point Arial, even to the stage where council tax
bills will no longer be able to display the address correctly in
the envelope window. Which means they will have to shell out for
special envelopes right across the board with bigger windows.
Great money-saving sense!
Rant off.....we all love execs as much as we love users :-)
