**Manitoba Government**
 * The government of Manitoba is very interesting, and I am going to tell you about it. The capital of Manitoba is Winnipeg, which is where all of ** ** the important government buildings are. Winnipeg is also the largest city in Manitoba. ** ** The land area of Manitoba is 213,728 square miles. That might sound big to us, but i ** **t puts Manitoba in 8th largest province nationwide. The population is about 1,000,000. There are three main languages spoken among those people, English, French, and Germa ****n. **

**More Government? Why not. The provincial bird is the Great Grey Owl. The flower is the Prairie Crocus. The nickname is the Keystone Province. On their coat of arms, they have the unicorn from Britain's coat of arms. That symbolizes that they have a bond with Britain. The horse symbolizes Manitoba's early history, and the beaver symbolizes Manitoba's fur trading. They have 14 members in the House of Commons, and 6 members in the Senate.**

**Now I will tell you about their provincial government. There are 57 members in their legislative branch, and their terms can last up to 5 yrs. The head of their provincial government is the Premier, who appoints the cabinet. It is ranked 5th in population nationwide. They have a border with the U.S. to the south, Saskatchewan to the West, Nunavut to the north, and Ontario to the east. Now you know more about the Government of Manitoba.**
