The third-largest city in Manitoba, "Portage la Prairie" is French for "pee stop between Winnipeg and Brandon". The main attractions include the world's largest Coke can in the back of the Canadian Tire parking lot and a gigantic spotlight that's used to blind passing pilots on the roof of the hotel next to the giant Coke can.
Portage is most well-known for the money sink affectionately known as the PCU Centre. Just like in Monty Python's Holy Grail, the city council decided to build the PCU Centre in a swamp on Island Park; it's currently sinking and buckling, which is why the pool keeps leaking and closing down. When there's an event at the PCU Centre it takes approximately six hours to leave the island because the only exit is guarded by a ferocious 4-way stop. This could be solved with a traffic light but city council has to spend everyone's tax dollars paying the loans on the building instead.
Portage also has an event known as the Potato Festival, a celebration of the most boring vegetable known to man. It used to be the Strawberry Festival but that was deemed too fun. This change was likely effected by the people in the "good" part of town seeking an outlet for their rage because they live downwind from a sewage treatment plant on the south side of the TransCanada Highway.

Get the Inglewood Portage mug.Sells itself as a university. But it is far from that, it is just a right-wing Youtube channel that tells people what they want to hear.
NPC: Global warming is a myth!
Reasonable person: Where did you get that info from?
NPC: From a PragerU video. It's a very educational Youtube channel.
Reasonable Person: Really that channel?! The people on that channel are very bias towards conservatives. So untrustworthy, almost every scientist can agree global warming exists!
NPC: *silent*
