It will be good background music for the remainder of this post. It&#8217;s OK, they&#8217;re Canadian so it will be doubly appropriate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 100th Meridian &#8212; <a href=\"\/blog\/?p=4478\">as we\u2019ve discussed before<\/a> &#8212; is both a climactic and cultural divide roughly speaking between the western and eastern sides of the North American continent. Think, cowboys on one side and investment bankers on the other if one wished to reduce it to ridiculous stereotypes. The same general mythology seems to surround this longitude whether one stands on the Canadian or U.S. side of the border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/embed?mid=1Sr6LTIFWMoTjgszJY3psgVXoP0c\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brent, working from distant memory, thought there might be a 100th Meridian marker somewhere along one of the Canadian highways. I decided to search for it vicariously through Google Street View, and figured the Trans-Canada Highway would be the most likely candidate. Surprisingly, shockingly some might say, this most important long-distance highway connecting Canada from one end to the other seemingly ignores this momentous meridian. Here is where it starts to get strange. I did find a road sign practically atop meridian:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!4v1601550898177!6m8!1m7!1sOOesBS7Vz7jgiEQIKCEAjA!2m2!1d49.88687601423188!2d-99.99794180144535!3f288.5870312323487!4f-0.4737298750110739!5f3.325193203789971\" style=\"border:0;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" aria-hidden=\"false\" tabindex=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It implores travelers to &#8220;Explore Manitoba Attractions.&#8221; Ironically, it completely ignores a <em>bona fide<\/em> attraction an arm&#8217;s length away. This is such an unfortunate lost opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"a-proposal\">A Proposal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Province could create a little pocket park with a pullout, cement a few rocks together and affix a plaque, and create a mini geo-trail by combining it with the Prime Meridian marker and whatever oddball geography occurs in the 190 kilometres (118 miles) between the two. People go on wine trails, right? I\u2019m sure bored long-distance drivers would also follow a geography trail if someone put a little effort into it, maybe created a website and published a few brochures to stuff into racks <a href=\"\/blog\/?p=2682\">at rest stops<\/a> and motel lobbies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Others have broached the subject of 100th Meridian tourism. It just so happens that the meridian passes through Brandon, the second largest city in Manitoba after Winnipeg, and practically adjacent to the Trans-Canada Highway. The idea was floated by an obviously enlightened individual on a discussion of a new <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Brandon Welcome Sign<\/span> [<em>link no longer works; you&#8217;ll have to trust me<\/em>]:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;BRANDON \/ Where the Great Plains Begin \/ Then you put a marker for the 100th meridian up on the TransCanada and on Victoria Ave. \/ On Vic you put a small area to pull over for pics next to the 100th Meridian Marker.
