Some of the most beautiful views of this giant town, are in the dingiest, most unexpected places. That, I know.. With nobody to share it with, so far… waiting for her…
Example : The Red River Rebellion. One guy. Riel. That’s all. Against an entire British fort. One. No gun. A knife. Sprinting across open prairie. Swimming across the river. One guy. For what? Nobody knows – lost to time… Further. Four 13 year old girls. Travel by York Boat, bunch of French dudes, singing songs for 6 months, in the back. “Je deteste Alouette, Soeur. Trois mois, les fesses.” To meet some “mental case” at Fort Garry. They open a convent. And like good wives, run around trying to apologize for Riel hubby’s anger and continued hurting people. Bingo. Hospital #1. I’m not joking.. For guys like Riel? It never ends…
And the Elm trees, MoFer, inside Upper Fort Garry. Have been there, silent, since the inception of Manitoba. The oldest trees in the city of Winnipeg. Silently listening… Why come here in the first place? Prairie grass, wind, crows. Nothing! Probably a voice! AT night, approaching the gates of the Fort. Angry? Dude…
Egypt has the pyramids. Canada has CN Rail. If you’ve ever ridden VIA. You wonder, how do you get water and food, in the middle of NOWHERE Canada, on your lunch break, during hard labour? Egypt = pyramids. Canada = CN Rail.
