Not to rain on the optimism, but we all enjoy an article by Tom at the Sun..

But most years the province sees a net loss of between 3,000 to 7,000 people. Unfortunately, the outflow of people to other provinces has worsened in recent years, despite claims by many politicians that people are "flocking" to Manitoba. They aren't. They're leaving for greener pastures elsewhere.....

...Manitoba lost 19,988 to other provinces last year and gained 13,017, for a net loss of 6,971.

You can read more if you choose, but I didn't have the heart to post more. Sad reality. Will it ever change. Where would we be without the immigration program to prop up the numbers..
