(from Wikipedia): "Manitoba (lit. "Many Tubas") is the northernmost province on the Canadian continent with an average annual temperature of -75 degrees Celsius. It was won from the Soviet Union in a curling match in 1931 and became an official province in 1933, adding yet another maple leaf to the Canadian flag. Its capital, Winnipeg (from an Algonquin word meaning "damn it's cold!") is home to one of the largest comic conventions above the Arctic Circle..."

..and at which you will be a fine Furry representative.

Dude! That article is soooo POV. Here's the real scoop from http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Manitoba:

A province of Canada. Birth place of Tom Ludwick and the world's most pretentious Top 5 lists. Province holds a national record for highest percentage of swoopy haired mySpace users and has been the recipient of the acclaimed 7-11 Slurpee Capital of the World Award for twelve years running. Come to the north end of Winnipeg and wake up to the beautiful sound of gunshots. Deal weed as a fun hobbie and watch 10 year olds do crack. Scientists at the Univeristy of Manitoba are currently developing a wheat powered time machine and a fleet of hydrogen powered doctors.

The province voted most likely to recede.

Provincial Flag: A photoshopped version of the Ontario flag, but with a bison instead of a maple leaf
Provincial Capital: Winterpeg - The coldest city in North America
Provincial Anthem: Portage & Main: It's farking cold!
Currency: Gopher tails, Beer empties, Canadian Tire Money, mosquito poison
Time Zone: CST
Provincial Slogan: Boring Energy/Energie Alésage
El Presidente: Louis Riel and Burton Cummings' moustaches
Provincial Holidays: January 15: Coldest Day of the Year, July 1: Louis Riel Day, August 1: Mosquito Appreciation Day
Official Provincial Bird: The Mosquito
Founded: 1812

Most popular tourist attractions

1. Life-threatening tours of polar bear habitats.
2. Life-threatening meander through the medians on Broadway Ave. to look at poorly decorated artificial polar bears.
3. A semi-magical haze that reeks of gasoline, cigarettes and weed. The locals refer to it as "Spirited Energy".

Famous local celebrity facts

1. Burton Cummings has been the king of Winni the pooh peg for 35 years
2. Louis Riel is a former Prime Minister of Manitoba
3. Winnie the Pooh is named after the Manitoban city of Tiggerville

Provincial Size

The Manitoskatchowan Dominial Parliment deemed the size of the new Province of Manitoba shall not be more than a "Stones throw" from Flin Flon. This rule has been substantiated with the assumption that the Giant Andy Gibb Statue of Flin Flon's founder, Josiah, would become animorphic and throw one of the many large rocks of that-there town (there).

Our National Bird is the mosquito. And yes, we are still the slurpee Capitol. Our current population is prinarily fueled by heavy syrop flavoured like our favorite soft drinks.
