MANITOBA

Surfing around the other day, I came across a blog from Manitoba. So, what do you know about Manitoba? It's in the Canadian praries: flat, lots of wheat. Captial: Winnipeg. There's a lake of the same name. The province extends up to the southwestern part of Hudson Bay. Manitobans like hockey. One team goes by the delightful name of the Brandon Wheat Kings. There's a town called Flin Flon.

And, here's some more stuff about Manitoba:

- An upstart wind energy developer said this week it plans to build what could be Canada's largest wind farm in Manitoba, a province known for its ample hydroelectric resources.
- Musician Dan Snaith - aka Manitoba, from er Ontario.
- The population of Manitoba, according to the 2003 Statistics Canada estimate, is 1,162,776.
- ask a Moose: Jaroslav Obsut, to be precise. He's a hockey player with the Manitoba Moose.
- More Moose news: players beaten up in Houston
- It’s an all too common scenario. You’re in the middle of a project and right when you fire up the table saw the breaker goes.
- BEACHES in a prairie province?
- new findings by a University of Manitoba researcher suggest you may be able to tell something about a person by the type of booze they drink. What does he say about tequila?
