The Great Bear Incident of 2005 was a horrific stage in the history of Manitoba. Late in 2005, thousands of man-eating bears filled the streets of Winnipeg to protest against several Canadian channels picking up "The Colbert Report". The bears showed no mercy as they tore across the streets like a destructive, hairy plague. It was said that thousands were mauled and the city was in chaos. The bears were barely (pun not intended) challenged, and people did not know what to do.
