........and God created Manitoba
God was missing for six days. Eventually, Michael, the archangel, found him, resting on the seventh day.
He inquired, "Where have you been?"
God smiled deeply and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds, "Look, Michael. Look at what I've made."
Archangel Michael looked puzzled, and said, "What is it?"
"It's a planet," replied God, "and I've put human life on it.
I'm going to call the planet 'Earth' and
it's going to be a perfect place to test 'balance'."
"Balance?" inquired Michael, "I'm still confused, what is this 'balance'."
God explained, pointing to different parts of Earth. "For example, northern Europe will be a place of great opportunity and wealth, while southern Europe is going to be very poor.
Over here, I've placed a continent of mostly white people, and over there is a continent of mostly black people. Balance in all things."
God continued pointing to different countries. "This one will be extremely hot, while this one will be very cold and covered in ice."
The Archangel, impressed by God's work, then pointed to a land area and said, "What's that one?"
"Oh, that's Manitoba, the most glorious place on earth. There are beautiful rivers and streams, lakes, forests, hills. Some of the most beautiful women live there. The people from Manitoba are going to be handsome, modest, intelligent, and humorous, and they are going to travel the world. They will be extremely sociable, hardworking, high achieving, carriers of peace, and producers of all things good."
Michael gasped in wonder and admiration, but then asked, "....but what about this 'balance', God? You said there would be balance."
God smiled, "I will then create Ottawa, Ontario.
Wait till you see the idiots I put there."
