I came across a 2 part “Mantioba Travelogue” video from the 1940s on youtube. An era when Manitoba seemed to have been much more prosperous.

Part 1: mainly features Winnipeg. Interesting facts at the time Winnipeg was Canada’s 4th largest city – a position currently occupied by Ottawa-Gatineau (Winnipeg #8 now) – and meatpacking was the #1 industry in town.

Part 2: Featuring Brandon, Riding Mountain and north.

It seems to cut off before the end, but I was unable to find a part 3.

Things I learned today:

• The coldest naturally occurring temperature ever recorded on Earth was -89.2C, 21 July 1983 in Antartica.
• You can merge sub-reddits by using + symbols between them. Click for here example.
• It’s easy to find out what’s new on Netflix Canada.
• Chuck Norris had a chartoon in the 80s (but who didn’t)

Here are 3 videos I discovered today.

Un. Yo Gabba Gabba’s Muno skating through some LA landmarks. This is one ad campaign that actually worked, I need to buy those shoes for my sons ASAP.

Duex. Henry Rollins vs Hipsters. He’s a little defensive about his age these
days.

Trois. The Warrior’s Way Trailer. Three words: steampunk, western, ninjas.

Yesterday I watched a 10 minute video of an HD camera tethered to a weather balloon as it climbed to 100,000ft then plummeted back to Earth. The video was a lot of spinning and whooshing.

I got through all 10 minutes of that video. I could not even get through the first minute of this video without feeling nauseated.
