Have fun reviewing

The YouTube video of 'Does Winnipeg really exist' is particularly amusing.

It's not that cold here.

Just long winters, I would recommend Winnipeg to many people.

makes for cheapest ice rinks around - and no bloody gardening or grass cutting or mosquitos.

You have to remember the warmer -7 to +7 cloudy and wet rain is really crap compared to -20 to -30 Clear skies and dry rain (occassionaly).

It's only cold on the outside.

Never seen a Black Fly in Winnipeg. I don't recall having seen one in Manitoba, but maybe in the woods.
