The Wickaninnish Inn could be reasonably be described; Churchill, Alberta

This opening sentence from September 2's "Canada's hidden travel gems" on Yahoo! Canada Travel is not a good way to start an article; one of the bes should be removed. Though that's small potatoes compared to the article's other error.

Churchill is known for its polar bears - heck, the title of the town's website boasts the town as the "Polar Bear Capital of the World". The problem here is that Churchill is not in Alberta (and Alberta is closer to the Pacific Ocean than Hudson Bay). Churchill is in Manitoba - two provinces east of Alberta - and is situated on the shore of Hudson Bay. Click the images to enlarge them.
