  1. Mike, what can I say? So many superlatives in this episode I could write a 1500 word essay and it would probably not be enough. I do hope the Civic Authorities in Winnipeg award you the freedom of the city as a result of this episode. The Province should also award you for this episode. Manitoba is not on the bucket list for most visitors to Canada but you and Will have certainly raised the bar. Great coverage of The Canadian as the lead up to Winnipeg, Gimli and other places you visited. The Canadian journey had me pause the video and reach for my Scenic Rail Guide to Central and Atlantic Canada, published in 1983 by Bill Coo, a ViaRail Conductor of the time. Pages 138 to 147 cover the journey across Ontario to Manitoba and a photo of Sioux Lookout station appears on page 146. I note that you resisted the urge to point out the fact that Winnipeg has one of the largest rail complexes in the world. but I suppose your USA cousins might get snooty over that, claiming that Union Pacific's Bailey Yard in Omaha is bigger. Enough of that! I certainly hope TruEarth, Canadian Television and all Provinces will fund you and Will for a chance to do a repeat series travelling in the opposite direction, visiting places that you haven't covered in this series. It would be great if TruEarth funded your trip downunder to Australia and New Zealand to meet me and many other of your YouTube fans and to be shown around our part of the world. Enough from me this week. Looking forward to your next installment. Cheers from Michael.
