Manitoba Upholds Direct Rail Subsidies for Western Grain
Manitoba government reiterates support for continuing direct subsidies to railways under the Western Grain Transportation Act. Ministers Uruski and Plohman argue payments to railways lower shipper costs, boost service use, and maintain rural stability, warning that paying farmers could raise rates and harm branches and elevators. They note current policy aligns with grain export goals and rural livelihood.
