If I must.

It's a McMansion out in farm country, the worst kind of suburban sprawl. Look how far you'll have to drive to get to Winnipeg, and remember that your children probably don't have cars. I'd rather raise children in a wealthy neighborhood in an urban or even dense suburban setting, rather than out in the country.

2 acres is about 1.9 acres more than you need, and more than you want to mow.

Do you want another 300 extra square feet? You can have some of mine; I'm trying to downsize. But I can't find a 400ft² single family home in the city with a 400ft² garage and walls with 10" of insulation.
