Does anyone know how much larger the West Edmonton Mall is than the Mall

English garden, Leo Mol sculpture garden, Pavilion with restaurant and

There was a CBC National radio program broadcast from here (Winnipeg) on
Friday and they noted a lot of things to do in Winnipeg - the arts,
festivals, etc, in spite of the fact that the folks in Ontario feel they
are at the hub of everything. I read between the lines, mind you!

ScottDar is probably living in Kenora, Ontario and still wants to think
of my place of birth as "The Hub" of NW Ontario. His envy will pass.

Hey, whazzamatter? Churchill is closer to Winnipeg and the rest of us tax
payers than Toronto is. No drug-craved killers roaming the streets of
Churchill. No traffic jams. A wonderful place for asmatics to live without
all that pollution and pollen crap.

Lots of local and original inhabitants all over the place instead of being
cooped up in the Toronto zoo. About as expensive as Toronto, though!

Thanks for that very interesting information. Churchill sounds
particularly interesting. Its sounds like much too far from Winnipeg for
a drive. Thanks everyone for the info.

Aren't you talking about YOUR local airport? Seems to me that all airports
are good for getting out - ask the locals where you live :-)

The airport - catch a plane to somewhere [anywhere] else.

Ok, Joe thinks everyone knows that a road doesn't exist from Winnipeg to
Churchill. I don't think I was being a smartass poster for not knowing
this as I live in a place (North Carolina) where a road will take you
anywhere you want to go in the state. I am guilty of not looking at the
atlas before asking about driving to Churchill. Now I know.

Take a look at www.travelmanitoba........ More information there than you
will get from this newsgroup.

]hehehe noI wasnt. I was just saying that due to some smartasses
possibly saying that besides a plane or train that feet would get you
there. Sorry for any misunderstanding, but seriously tho..plane or
train is the only way. From all accounts, Churchill is a very
interesting place to visit, your almost at the edge of wilderness and
remoteness. Very sobering experience, especially being from areas
where there is constant concrete and people.

I sincerely apologise for this misunderstanding.
