Winnipeg has submitted its pitch to Amazon on why it should build its second headquarters here.
It includes a video created by Economic Development Winnipeg, where former Blue Bomber and entrepreneur Obby Khan, can be seen touring “Alexa” around the city.
Alexa is the virtual voice of Amazon, who acts as an intelligent personal assistance to guide users through their day.
In the video Khan takes Alexa to The Forks, Assiniboine Park Zoo, the Exchange, and also introduces her to Winnipeg Mayor Brian Bowman.
