the little town that could

...

did!

cbc radio noon marilyn maki referred this story to the 'david & goliath' story ...

some termed it the 'under dog' story ...

cbc radio 2 drive rich terfry claimed this was a 'huge upset' ...

and all along cbc radio 2 morning tom allen deemed it possible for 'the little town that could' to win ... and it DID!



the story? small town manitoba (waskada - pop 200) wins over capital city of manitoba (winnipeg - pop 600,000) ... wow!

thanks to the incredible heart and hard work of my niece and all who voted, her home town WASKADA has won the cbc radio2 great canadian songquest contest in the province of manitoba!

all 13 provinces and territories in canada will each have a new song written about the winning place, by the winning artist, in their respective areas ...

as of november 23rd, there will be 13 new songs on the airwaves ... and WASKADA will be one of them!

and get this ...



songstress, CHANTAL KREVIAZUK is the wonderful manitoba artist who will be writing, composing and recording a song for WASKADA ...

who, in this life would have thought ...
