The North End became famous for its diversity in the early part of the 20th century, a potent mix of Eastern Europeans (Ukrainians, Poles, Jews)and Anglos created a colourful history. Famous north enders who emerged from this culture include "Let's Make a Deal's Monty Hall, comedian David Steinberg, journalist Larry Zolf, politician Lloyd Axworthy and musician Burton Cummings. In recent years the North End is said to have deteriorated. There is now a history of drug and gang violence within its boundaries, and is also a diverse neighbourhood. Gangs such as Indian Posse, Native Syndicate and Manitoba Warriors are based in this area.
