Winnipeg seems to be a city looking to reinvent itself, but hasn't found a way to do that for a long time. Do you have some statistics to back up your claim that other places are shipping people to Winnipeg? cause I definitely don't buy that. The problem is bad everywhere in Western Canada as you alluded to. I definitely buy the argument that there is a disproportionate amount of people from up north though, Edmonton has the same problem, so does Prince George and a lot of cities on what we can call the northern frontier.

You are free to believe whatever you want, but I trust my sources. This is occurring based on soft government policies and lack of enforcement. It's easier to get welfare benefits in Manitoba than in most other provinces apparently. The amount of people on welfare living in Manitoba from out of province is an issue. They come for the welfare, plain and simple. Totally mind boggling. Again, the system is broken and needs fixing asap.
