Flying into Manitoba in the summer presents an exquisite patchwork:
fields of sunny canola and of blue flax that ripple like water in the
wind. In the fall sunflowers turn golden heads to the sun in sharp
relief against azure skies.
For sports-minded Manitobans, blue gold are the colors of our football team,
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
