Winnipeg, you know, In Canada...

Most online friends that don't know me too well will ask, where are you from...I sigh and type, Winnipeg. Of course that leads to a zillion question like, where is that?....ummm in Canada I say. Canada...where is that? HUH! 

Now to be fair I am uncertain what they teach in American schools. But in Canadian schools...we know first hand that we are from North America Canada (/ˈkænədə/) is a North American country consisting of ten provinces and three territories. Located in the northern part of the continent, it extends from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west, and northward into the Arctic Ocean. Spanning over 9.9 million square kilometers, Canada is the world's second-largest country by total area, and its common border with the United States is the longest land border in the world.( Taken from Wikipedia ) Funny thing is, Canada sits right on top on the United States! So why on earth do the Americans not know this...maybe they don't have maps out there....

Anyways, I am not here to dog the Americans, but for you all to see a bit of Canadian history...Vintage style of course...;)


The pictures I will list are from Winnipeg where I live...yes still in Canada.
