I’m curious how you would describe the Northeastern USA?

Thanks for explaining that. I hope I didn’t hurt your feelings. I have no clue about Canadian rivals besides the Toronto Blue Jays vs Yankees and USMNT vs CanMNT.

You didn’t hurt my feelings. I took it the wrong way, so thanks for clearing it up.

I think there are common stereotypes attributed to just about every region in the US. I don't think I would stray too far from some of the more common ones - but since I am in NYC just about every month - no need to proliferate them

I would say suburban areas in the Northeastern USA think differently than the major cities.

No doubt thats why I dont even get into them ... its funny in the right company ... like with my friends from NYC ... but on an open forum may be misunderstood and create unnecessary noise

Not a clue; but if you really want to pursue the topic, Saskatoon has no major-league sports teams. Perhaps there would be some sort of support for such things?

But why don't we speak of other things for a bit! Here's something interesting and a unique solution to a fairly unique Canadian situation. What do you think of this approach? What would you do about nuisance wildlife in your city parks?

So, Winnipeg has a new slogan and logo. Winnipeg Twitter is not happy about it and is mocking it mercilessly and it’s hilarious.

Must be missing it ... is it throwing shade somewhere else?

Made from what’s real? There’s artificial snow and ice in Canada? That has to be breaking news in the Great White North.

It makes us sound like we’re hand cut oatmeal. Also, the logo is being compared to a non family friendly body part. I didn’t make the connection at first, but now I can’t unsee it.

No white where I am right now and even up north isn’t frozen year round. Winnipeg has a very short growing season so trees go from bare to leafy in the span of maybe two weeks. We will start to get frost warnings in September and may see a flurry or two in October. The snow doesn’t stay til November/December usually.

As to artificial ice? Of course it’s artificial now; hockey lives on even in the summer.

This one is far superior

I actually had to look up where Winnipeg was on the map ... Was not where I thought it was!

More in the Calgary direction ... no particular reason why other than ignorance on my part I suppose.
