How can sea temperature change a hurricane?

As I understand it, hurricanes develop, and enlarge as a result of absorbing ENERGY in the form of HEAT from the water over which they travel.Therefore, the greater the heat, the greater the chances of a hurricane growing larger and more violent. And the converse of that is also true: As the temperature of the mass [water or land] over which the hurricane travels decreases, the greater the tendency for it to weaken and dissipate.

Why is it that Winnipeg Canada has a great temperature variation than Vancouver Canada even though they are located roughly at the same latitude?

Because Vancouver is next to the sea. Water has a high thermal capacity and therefore moderates the temperature variations of adjacent land areas.
