Hey there, time traveller!

For the first time ever, rural routes dominated the list of the worst roads in the province, including three of the top four coming from Westman.
Highway 251, which runs by Goodlands and Waskada, was voted the third-worst road in the province.
Highway 450, better known as Lake Metigoshe road, was deemed the fourth-worst stretch of track.
And Highway 353, the Brookdale road, was named the fourth-worst road after the votes were tallied by CAA Manitoba.
The campaign, which recorded more than 8,800 votes during a four-week period, saw six rural roads in the Top 10 worst roads.
“This has been a record year for Worst Roads, and the campaign clearly illustrates that Manitobans believe streets all over the province need some TLC — tender loving construction,” CAA Manitoba CEO Mike Mager said.
“I believe the fact that Worst Roads spurred the provincial government to reconstruct Brandon’s Victoria Avenue back in 2013 helped motivate rural Manitobans to vote for the problem roads in their community. Now, we encourage all Manitobans to vote on April 19 for the political party that they believe best supports a strong investment in Manitoba’s infrastructure and future.”
More than 660 roads were nominated in Manitoba, with Main Street South in Carman taking the top spot as the worst road.
