In a nail-biting, frustrating, and whirlwind turn of events that shocked the nation of Canada, the beloved province of Manitoba lost a high-stakes game of Canadian Monopoly, thus conceding the historic Wolseley neighbourhood to Saskatchewan. The all-night marathon started audaciously with a mutual agreement among the provinces to "leave politics out of it" and "just have fun". However, layers of complex strategising, backstabbing pattern hardly seen in Canadian politics, and a bad roll of the dice led Manitoba to lose one of its crown jewels. "We thought we had Park Place in the bag," lamented Brian Pallister, the Manitoban Premier. "I mean, our strategy was set, our minds were focused. But those cunning Saskatchewanians... they kept buying up all the railroads. It was truly a prairie dog-eat-dog scenario." Manitoba's enthusiasm wasn't in vain, though. They managed to gain control of the Toronto Pearson Airport, the Rogers Arena, and even snagged a couple of utility companies like Hydro-Quebec and BC Hydro. However, as the night dragged on and the Tim Hortons coffee began to run dry, the strategic buoyancy of the Manitobans began to dwindle. The last straw, literally, was when Manitoba rolled a rogue two, landing on Saskatchewan's heavily mortgaged CN Tower property. Unable to pay, Manitoba, with a heavy sigh and an eye roll, forked over the deed to Wolseley. Back in Saskatchewan, Premier Scott Moe was overjoyed with the win, stating "We've had our eye on Wolseley for years. The organic food markets, the yoga studios, the hipster coffee shops... the eclectic vibe really helps balance out our rough-and-tumble image." After the defeat, Manitoba is now turning its sights on getting through the rest of Canadian Monopoly, hoping to keep its hold on the much-prized Hudson's Bay Company. As for Saskatchewan, rumours are swirling that the Prairie Lily will soon sail down Wolseley Avenue. It remains to be seen, though, whether an official province-trade will actually be fulfilled, or if it was merely a whimsical side effect of Canada's favourite capitalist board game. One thing’s for sure however, Canada's version of Monopoly is just as punch-packing and thrill-inducing, if not more, than its American counterpart. Monopoly, eh? Citizens from both provinces are awaiting further instructions, some already packing their bags for the anticipated migration following Canadian Monopoly’s latest twist.
