The town of Lynn Lake, Man., has a sincere offer to any Americans who might be considering a move after the November election, why not northern Manitoba?
The town put out a tweet Tuesday: “Dear Americans, have a skilled trade + #debatenight made u say #noneoftheabove? Let’s talk. We may have a place for you here #cdnpoli #usa”
The town’s chief administrative officer (CAO) says it’s only partially tongue-in-cheek. Lynn Lake is looking for skilled tradespeople and has a surplus of housing.

“We do not have a certified electrician, we do not have a certified plumber,” town CAO Ric Stryde said.
More importantly, Stryde said Lynn Lake has plenty to offer anyone who loves the outdoors.
“I can be at a lake five minutes after I’m done work. In a boat, fishing,” Stryde said. “We’ve got moose, caribou, all the big game animals.”
Lynn Lake, home to about 700 people, is just over 1,000 kilometers north of Winnipeg.
