Strathcona Block, Winnipeg, Man.
Card by the Canadian View Card Co. of Toronto. Unused, 1/3 2/3 divided back with stamp box stating that Canada, U.S. or Mexico are one cent (don't usually see Mexico mentioned).
The Strathcona Block was apartments and was also (and later on, exclusively) known as the Fort Garry Court, a name that sometimes appears on postcards wtih this identical image. The building burned down in the 1970s with considerable loss of life.

Land Titles Building, Winnipeg
Tissot card no. 34. It is hard to tell when these cards were made, other than that the truck in the image suggests perhaps the 1920s. Interestingly, this card and its companion were mailed on October 31, 1966 at Quebec City to an address in that city.

Greetings from Winnipeg [pennant]
I've had this one for a long time but just happened to come across it for the first time in a long while. Note that, although it's a Stedman card (with Stedman being described as "Brantford & Winnipeg"), the framed view is one of the Pugh "1000" series (# 1000/14), evidently cut from a sheet of reductions of those cards as you can see another card's title along the bottom of this image: "C.P.R. Station and Hotel, Winnipeg, Man." (that card, which I have, is no. 23). In fact, you can see how they've made the reductions: they've placed cards side by side and photographed them from above (the lower right corner of the inset card here touches the corners of three other cards at the extreme lower right of the inset).
Smith's Stedman book does list a pennant card of Winnipeg in this series, but the image is of Portage & Main, looking west. It looks like a Stedman image rather than another image from this Pugh series.
I also have this one in the series, which doesn't seem to be a Pugh card either -- looks like a RPPC from someone else: www.ipernity.com/doc/wintorbos/23124689//in/album/447203
