Where else in the world do polar bears get freed from "jail" as soon as enough ice forms on a body of water bigger than Texas? Kind of crazy when you think about it, eh? Well that's what happened this past week as the last of the furry inmates were trucked down to the...

On perfect cue, the arctic freeze settled into the Churchill Region just as widespread panic (not the musicians) started to surface in the media. True, the Hudson Bay was pretty much ice-free up until a week ago...but it always seems to find a way to freeze just about...
