Agree with you, kato.
foragefarmer, you proved my original point.
Don't read, don't understand, just attack.
For one thing, I spent 20 years in Manitoba...
I've seen Winnipeg in the summer and winter. What does that have to do with anything? It's poverty... it's bringing immigrants in and having no work for them. There is a MAJOR structural problem in Winnipeg.
Kato has it right. Why are we putting Native Canadians - many of which lived from hunting and trapping - into hotels in bad parts of Winnipeg and forgetting about them?
As far as your premise of me trucking in Manitoba, Bunge built a plant there. I haul for Bunge.
I don't wreck MB highways... they are the poorest in the Prairies already. I pay taxes through IRP to the MB government, and I buy fuel in Manitoba, and make sure they get their share through IFTA. I might add MB now has a higher fuel tax than SK does.
Sask farmers are contributing to the MB economy as much as I am by hauling canola there... creating Manitoba jobs. Paying for Manitoba highway maintenance (does that exist anymore??? It used to????) without being any sort of drag on the economy.
It's people with attitudes like yours that in part makes me grateful for moving. I can't stand the NDP mentality and the socialist BS. Manitoba has so much going for it. It needs better people in the legislature. End of story.
I'm not being a drag on MB... I"m saying the politicians... and those in Winnipeg who think that they are doing a good job... need to GO!!!
