Gotta love those hard working industrious Hungarians ....

Anthony and Margareta Markus bought a small farm in The Pas Manitoba Canada in 1962. Anthony had fled Hungary just before the 1956 revolution and ended up in Austria where he met the woman he would end up marrying and then came to Canada

He expanded the farm many times including adjacent farms operated by his children. It is about 25,000 acres (metric 10,000 hectares)

Today the whole thing is for sale for a cool $56 million

Old school. Hard work and some luck.
The Márkus family sure made their mark in Manitoba!
Good for them.
That famous 56 migration brought a bunch of useless ones here!
The ones before actually wanted to come.
After 56 there was a bunch of useless thrill-seekers.
Not the most desired by any means.

We call ourselves a "fucking gypsy nation"..... No derogatory meaning behind it.
We are however very conscious about our relentless search for new things.
Yes, we are everywhere.
I guess it's in our DNA.....
