  2. Another mortified ‘toban here. After $2.1 million, this is what we get. Gary has to go.

  3. Sure beats friendly manitoba. That’s like the plain toast of slogans. Spirited energy is clearly toast with that crappy crunchy peanut butter on top.

  5. Buzz…CAW…CAW…CAW… is in on the scam.
    Another bribery/mind-bending scheme from the socialists/unionists/”native resident groups” of Manitoba and assorted “private” business persons, aka non-native residents.
    CUPE, aka Boycott Israel, no show up?

  6. What the hell was wrong with “Friendly Manitoba”?
    I was born and raised there, it was a friendly place, I guess now it isn’t.
    “Spirited Energy”? Sounds like a gasoline additive.
    BTW, how come the site offers two languages, English or French, but not Ukrainian?

  7. What a load of cow patooties! How is it that Libs and Dippers can put out this do nothing feel good crap with taxpayer’s dollars and tell you with a straight face that they are doing something for your city, province, country? Manitoba is a nice place (if you like freezing your butt and mosquitoes) but the government there has it’s hands in your pockets sooo deep you feel they are playing pocket pool with your equipment. Lived there for most of the ’80s but would never consider going back because of the government(s). That and the U of M Bisons never having a winning season.

  10. “Manitoba’s rich history of diverse cultures, varied climate, and northern location has instilled a unique energy that radiates from the hearts and minds of our people. From the birthplace of many successful artists, musicians and entrepreneurs who compete on the world stage, to the natural resources that fuel our economy, Manitoba is a wellspring of energy.”
    A wellspring of energy that propels Medical Doctors and other highly paid professionals to leave the province in droves.
    As the great tagline in The Simpson’s said:
    “We were born here. What’s your excuse?”

  11. “This mobilizing force and enterprising spirit is as transparent as it is contagious.”
    It is communicable as well.
    Charming. For $2.1 million, most would expect silicone implants at least.

  14. Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad
    Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sad
    Gla I don’t have to pay for it.

  16. Gary Doer up front, there must be an election coming in Manitoba and the NDP what some taxpayer funded advertising.

  18. They don’t have any oil, and energy is the “hot thing” so…spirited energy is better than no energy…I suppose.

  19. No gas, limited oil, no nukes. flatter than piss on a plate, so minimal hydro.
    the energy must be in the dippers minds.
    didnt is used to say, “Manitoba , Lake of 100000 ukes”. or was that just Dauphin??

  20. Maybe he’s a new superhero, like The Flash, only in a business suit. Call him The Brash. Looks like he can fly too; his brash tie streaks loom over Winnipeg in the background, like some tie-streakiness of hope.

  21. I see a lot of people failed geography here. There is oil in Manitoba, not on an Alberta scale but it is there. Hydro is also abundant as anyone who ever explored Maintoba other than driving the Trans-Canada on their way to Taranta. Like dear old Saskatchewan, their governments tend to shoot themselves in the foot and scare away investment.

  22. Maybe Newfoundland can grow those ties in some type of suitably subsidized greenhouse operation.

  27. The dancing women are:
    A) wood nymphs
    B) happy dippers
    C) drunk
    D) wymen
    E) disadvantaged
    F) A and C but not D
    G) All of the above

  28. Trent: Your “daughter” is clearly a reference to every single person in Calgary, and as a current pegger who didn’t really like it (too many hills!) I am obliged to tell her to let her to enjoy the jam, and try not to think too much about how little joy she is missing.
    Bernie: H: The result of 25cent draft night at the Princess.
    Actually, I really enjoyed that video. Other than the fact that I watched the whole thing going damn…why can’t it look that good all the time? Maybe it would if I saw the ten good parts of it three seconds of it on repeat for five minutes. (i.e. how many times do you think they rode the elevator at the fort garry to get those shots?)

  29. Best things about Manitoba are the whales that will blow spray on you while you stand on the docks near the grain elevators and the Polar Bears that visit out by the naval station.
    Oh yeah, some of the ham operators in the Pas have a great sense of humour. Makes for some fun Qsos.. 73s TG

  30. Manitoba has it all? check this link.
    http://www2.nrcan.gc.ca/es/ener2000/online/html/chap2_e.cfm
    Includes the Texas Canuck ballyhooed hydro.Manitoba at 0.8% of the energy production and 2.9% of the consumption, its the poorest of the provinces for energy.
    Having worked Manitoba , theres lots of water but it cant fall far. Revelstoke dam by itself produces half of all what Manitoba hydro does.

  32. Interesting premise Kate. If we could harness the power of political hot air and its public image BS we could have enough disposable energy to supply the nation to the next millennium.
    In this regard I feel the Atlantic provinces and Ontraio would have enough surplus energy to become totally self sufficient.

  33. I got an error message from the link: “The connection was refused when trying to connect …”
    I don’t even know what I’m missing …?

  34. Gary Doer is a brain dead, mental midget. He just signed over to the natives, 25% ownership, of the next Hydro dam to be built in this province. “Spirited Energy” is a total waste of 2.1 million bucks. There is a election coming in this province and my bet, would be this fall.
    I retired after 36 years years with Manitoba Hydro. Looking back, “Maybe”, I should have taken that job offer in Calgary back in 1970.

  35. What the hell do they do to your tie when you enter that province?
    The new licence plate logo/
    Manitoba, Home of phsychedelic flying neckties.

  37. You call Manitoba a Frisky Province?
    It can’t hold a candle to the true progress out here.
    Of course it needed some help from the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal
    “Gay guarantee for provincial curriculum
    British Columbia is giving a same-sex couple an unprecedented role in a review of the provincial curriculum to ensure respectful teachings about sexual orientation from kindergarten to Grade 12.”

    Anybody know of publicly traded companies in the private school business?

  38. Cal, you live in a looney province.
    Do you think they will respectfully teach about the risks of sodomy or the mega multipartnered lifestyle of the true gays? or will they leave the multiple partners to the residents of Bountiful BC.
