Great location, benefits, fun sun (well three weeks a year).

It is certainly true that Manitoba suffers from a PR problem, namely, it doesn't get much PR.

I don't think you've entirely helped them, Angela.

  Well you lost me at the mention of Bud Light. Bud Light is evil and should be destroyed.

  Yeah I know - MB is undergoing a massive siege from BudLight at the moment - it's hard for many to resist. poor souls.

  Once you succumb to the lure of Bud Light, your tastebuds never recover. You even might start to think Dharma and Greg is amusing.

  Really? Dharma and Greg? Well I guess there's no hope for MB then. There goes my job offer!

  Perhaps you ought to find a new slogan -
  
  "Manitoba: Gateway to the Rest of Canada" springs to mind.

I think of it more as a portal into another dimension.
Gateway isn't nearly grand enough.
And there's that pesky "being in the middle" problem - if we were on either end of the continent we could be a true gateway. we're more of a pass through really.
It's too bad!

  Ah, I see - perhaps put Rod Serling on the province's signs, "You've left Canada, you've entered the Manitoba Zone".

  YES! You nailed it. Been there - done that and was so glad to go back home.

  Shall I attempt an analogy?
  
  Manitoba is to Canada as accountancy is to fun?

  My accountant is a bundle of fun - he's Manitoban of course!

  I can send you some - we just got rid of most of it but probably in a few weeks there'll be more!

Where are all the applicants? How can they resist? We are in an economic crisis - what is wrong with everybody?

Oh my God is anyone else out there? Has swine flu claimed you all?
