Why does Manitoba have Mosquitoes?

Considering you bloody empireists once owned the known world, I'm surprised you haven't figured it out. You're surrounded by bloody water, which keeps you warm, albeit wet. Winnipeg - aka Winterpeg - is in the middle of the bloody continent. It gets damned cold from the prevailing winds coming directly out of the arctic.

Very strange people, those Manitobans, to put up with that bit.

I shall Have to think of another obtuse question now to keep the Venerable_Dame of Manitoba in good grey cell order; this could be at least a ciggy job.

At least we _did_ own the discovered world once and made a fair job of running it too.

Of course there was a bit of a cock-up when our finest legal brains hand-picked the population of a huge and warm sub-continent in the Pacific; and also the Americans had a field-day with the British Army camo gear of the day as it was a red tunic with two large and white crossed belts making a handy aiming mark. Hardly playing the game with them dressed in No2 brown leather and coon skin hats hiding behind the trees.

Incidentally you can see this at Overlord as we have a whole contingent of The Fort Cumberland Guard, muskets and all, doing some arena stuff.
