    Two things everyone associates with it. One is the cold: Winnipeg winters are brutal, well below freezing for months, and one windy downtown corner is nicknamed the coldest street corner in Canada. The other is Winnie-the-Pooh: a real bear cub bought by a Canadian soldier from Winnipeg was named Winnie after his home city, ended up in London Zoo, and a boy named Christopher Robin loved her — which is where the bear in the books got its name.
