Winnipeg – Shocking crimes in the news and the distinction of our city as Canada’s “Murder Capital” might make some Winnipeg residents wonder about the moral virtues of their fellow citizens.

-“Sampling” a grape in a grocery store while deciding whether to buy a bunch
- Exaggerating on their resume
