    I live in Manitoba. I could not hit the up vote fast enough.

    Guys have you seen our fields? We got fields.

    Yeah living here is dull as fuck, but here’s a great story, I was driving on the highway 30 years ago and I saw a man stopped and staring out into a field. I had assumed he had car troubles and was staring out into the field in exhaustion, and I was stopping to be compassionate. He explained that he was visiting from China on a conference, and he had opportunity to rent a car. He was just staring into the canola fields, because he had never seen anything like that in his life - his reality was living in a highly congested city where a postage stamp of sky was visible for 18 seconds a day behind the smog & skyscrapers.

      I did my M.Sc there, and lived there for 3 years, so i am allowed to shit on the province too lol.

      It’s pretty in its own right, and the small towns can have their own charm, but it’s not for everyone.
