Vancouver Should Steal Manitoba's Slogan
I couldn't help thinking, while reading a recent LA Times article about Vancouver that Manitoba's new slogan, "Spirited Energy", seems to be a better fit for funky, athletic Vancouver.
Even Manitoba's Spirited Energy logo would fit. The blue background represents water and would be more fitting for Vancouver, which is next to the Strait of Georgia and close to the Pacific Ocean.
Between artistic Bowen, the cool coffee houses, interesting beaches and great food, Vancouver is really a kind of paradise by the sea and about as cool as buttoned-down Canada gets.
In fact, it's just chock full of things to do earning accolades such as "best place to live" and "best city to live" as well as "Best City in the Americas" by Conde Nast.
Host of the 2010 Winter Olympics, it's also probably Canada's most outdoor-orientated city, with beautiful Whistler-Blackcomb mountain a short drive away, and Grouse Mountain practically at its doorstep-both havens for skiers, hikers, mountain bikers and nature lovers.
I have to say that I find it interesting to note that Vancouver does not seem to have a slogan, the closet thing being British Columbia's quasi-defunct "Supernatural British Columbia".

From the commercials they've been showing for encouraging tourism and preventing forest fires here in beautiful BC, it looks like we're now using the slogan "The Best Place on Earth". The tagline can be seen in the print ad and in the tv commercials too.
