The first Canadian Amish community outside Ontario is establishing itself in central Manitoba. A group of 11 Amish families is settling near Gladstone, Man., about 100 kilometres northwest of Winnipeg. The group has purchased about 1,000 hectares of land from private landowners and is obtaining permits and building houses. Generally known as a conservative religious group, the Amish in Manitoba will use horse-drawn buggies and hand tools and will have no electricity or modern plumbing in their houses. The Rural Municipality of Westbourne, with a population of about 2,000 people, will benefit from increased tax assessment and more per capita grants from the provincial and federal governments, Stroeder said. He added that local businesses are also expecting a mini-boom when the group buys building materials and other necessities.

Weird Al Yankovic Amish Paradise
We've been spending most our lives living in an Amish Paradise,
We're all crazy Mennonites, living in an Amish Paradise,
there's no cops or traffic lights, living in an Amish Paradise,
But you'd probably think it bites, living in an Amish Paradise,
