Sexiest City

[White Doors]

Why, the pig plant it's replacing smelled worse.

lol

[Smallc]

Why the veiled insult jdobbin?

I'm shocked.

I don't know why my mentioning the oxymoron of Winnipeg and sexy brings out the insults from you.

Are you defensive about Winnipeg? I mean with the -45 winters and the breathing apparatus's needed for the hordes of mosquitoes when it is not -45, where is the sexy? lol

Please, let's have a civilized discussion and leave the personal insults out of it.

Hey hey, there are very few Mosquitoes in summer now. I haven't seen any on the many trips to Winnipeg that I've taken this year.

Does the city of Winnipeg still have an annual budget for 'fogging' for mosquitos?

'nuff said.

ps: In case you didn't know, that is NOT a normal city dept to have.

The story can divert to weather and geography as much as people want. That wasn't what was being judged. It was on how sexy people were as voted by other Canadians.

I have no idea how all other cities ranked but I don know that some of the critics who takes shots at the city fell below Winnipeg in the sexy people rankings when their own cities were compared.

They're still more or less gone in most Manitoba cities. Spraying is good....well....in some ways.

I'd like to work for the Winnipeg board of Tourism..

How's this for a motto?

'Winnipeg - Home of the Big Bite" ?

That would depend on the pesticide being used and application rate. That is a serious problem out there and I don't think they can solve it in Winnipeg without seriously upsetting the public.

It would be easy to get rid of the bug problem, just evacuate the city and surrounding area for a couple of days and load up the spray planes with a double rate of Lorsban and go to town. Mosquito problem gone, dead animal carcasses; problem number 2. But try getting close to a million people to evacuate just for spraying. Looks like Winnipegers are going to have to live with the Mosquito problem.

Theres a million people in Winnipeg?

The Winnipeg area, but I round up from 750K, it's easier to say close to a million.

Ok, my apologies.

Does the Winnipeg area include this?

I'd say around 50-70 klicks around the city. The pop of MB is approx one million. I'll guess the wpg area is around 750K (close to a million in my book)

Nicely done with the map of MB, lol

1.2 Million actually.

[blueblood]

1.2 Million actually.

Hence the word approx.

[Smallc]

Jeez, between your rounding up from 750K and your rounding down from 1.2M you've got just about a 500K window there of about 1M

I'm not saying my estimates are by any means accurate, just round numbers.

I know, I'm only joking.

Whistler, BC. But that's from a woman's perspective. I think it's the closest I've gotten to heaven on earth.

On the rare occasion that you actually see one amongst the sea of mountain-biker/snowboarder guys.... ya, they're alright I guess.

Well, those women must feel like its shooting fish in a barrel. lol

Well, In order to better understand the difference between cities, I reccomend a joint effort funded 90 percent by Canada and 10 percent by me to travel to each city and check out and taste test a delicacy. At the end of said trip I will come back here and report my findings for you all.

I like toronoto women. You get the variety there.

[RB]

I travel to plenty of cities in Canada

I like Montreal best and can even contemplate living there.

Vancouver is great also, I feel that I can retire there as soon as possible.

My kid said Ottawa was like cottage country and I kinda agree, but I vouch it must be the fittest city of all.

Wasilla Alaska -- home of Sarah Palin (Or Juneau whenever she's there)

Second choice: Wetaskiwin Alberta: home of the Reynolds Museum where you can see the sexiest old tractors on the Canadian Prairie.
