I wouldn't want to live there and don't blame the Sharks for not enjoying their visits.

And that is why we have stereotypes. The two in BC give the two most "I live in BC" responses. Go figure.
The best thing about Winnipeg is Manitobans.
The worst thing about BC is British Columbians.
I love going to the island for fishing trips but gawd the people there. When the Costco cashier in Victoria saw that I am Calgarian she said "Calgary doesn't have an ocean". And so many of them are like that. I would love BC so much more if only Manitobans lived there.
If I was living in Winnipeg I would be happy that snob culture doesn't like my city. In fact, Manitoba Tourism should just embrace this rather than trying to fight it.
