I wonder if the new Federal program to have ex-pat Canadians move home will mention this sort of thing?
At least two families have been evacuated from the shores of Lake Winnipeg after a series of dikes the Manitoba government built this fall failed to stop frigid water from spraying onto their houses, leaving them coated with thick ice.

Doesn't CBC have a reporter that can like, drive 85 km to Gimli to get a picture?Or does CanWest have roving gangs to make sure Winnipeg stays "their" town?

A TV story I saw a couple of days later had one of the homes' owners saying she'd like to open a coffeeshop in her house...complete with the icy back deck as a serving area. So there you go! That'll bring in the ex-pats and tourists. ;)
