Random rants on my Travels

The first rant comes from me sitting in a Cafe in a small town somewheres

All too often when sitting in a small cafe in southern Manitoba I see seniors sitting around talking over coffee, being served by a waitress just graduating high school, or a middle aged women, probably continueing a family restaurant. This is much different than that of southern Ontario whereas people in the 18-30 come back to the country, and work at restuarants and such. For them it's nice to get out of the city, and stay with old family in friends in the "scenic, rustic, historic"or other adverbs they use to describe the towns. The opposite is happening in Manitoba. Everyone young is moving to the "city" because of jobs, entertainment, and well all their peers are there. The advertising isn't the same lureing people into the country. In Manitoba the country is seen as boring, dull and old. It'll be interesting to see what happens to small towns within the next 20 years? Are these oasis of trees in a sea of grass doomed to be blown over?

Why is it wherever I am, there always is a country station, a Christian station and a French CBC station? Do they have some sort of super powered FM frequency that no one else knows about?
