4:40Now PlayingWinnipeg was in the midst of a labour fight in the spring of 1919 that brought the city to a standstill. More than 30,000 people walked off the job, and they were often joined by family and supporters. In total, about half the city supported the strikers. Explore the Exchange District, one of Winnipeg's divided neighbourhoods where many buildings from that time still stand, with the former host of The National, Peter Mansbridge, as your guide.
