The northeast corner of Portage & Smith in Winnipeg was a favourite soapbox location back in the day. I saw this group only once in the years that I trolled the downtown.
It was rumoured at the time that the old man with the cane was an eccentric philanthropist who had established a large scholarship fund for the University of Winnipeg. I remember him visiting the offices of Dominion Securities (a stock brokerage) in my office building, so the rumours may be true. At any rate, the shot I missed during this exchange, was the old fellow shaking his cane at the demonstrators.
