00:00:00.000Winnipeg and Manitoba has had, when you think about the population, it's amazing, the talent, broadcasting talent, journalists, music, acting, and the arts, culturally, as you say, Rick, it really, compared to the population, the amount of elite-level talent, it's pretty remarkable.
00:00:20.540Yeah, and I think, I don't know if official studies have been done, but anecdotally, we always joke that it's because of the cold, because people have to stay inside for eight months of the year. And so you get very creative. You have to, otherwise you go crazy.
00:00:35.460um so I think that that has a lot to do with it because even in the dead of winter minus 30 the
00:00:40.700the garage band bar scene here is is uh second to none as far as I'm concerned even the Winnipeg
00:00:46.720Folk Festival coming up is uh if not the biggest second biggest folk festival in Canada so and
00:00:53.380that's just a just a whack of talent I mean I know they get people from all over the world literally
00:00:58.220but yeah Winnipeg with with acting and uh music broadcasting I think it I think it I think it's
00:01:04.440a community and I think it does it is because we have to spend a lot of time indoors in winter and
00:01:08.220we need to figure out a way to pass the time and even though it was different people there was a
00:01:13.280real uh mutual support for journalists and broadcasters and people coming out of the
00:01:19.140Winnipeg in the Manitoba area to do better there's a yeah everyone I think encourages
00:01:25.200and cheers for everyone else to do well
