The Feds give and take.
You know taking Air Canada, and a lot of aerospace jobs out of Winnipeg for political gain elsewhere (Quebec). Shuttering the CWB and selling it off to a foreign majority owner. Gutting the CMHC offices and sending the vast majority of First Nation housing related jobs out to Calgary (of all places).
I would be interested in seeing some stats on the amount of federal jobs as a comparison between the MB and SK, or even AB for that matter.
