Eye on the Home Front Manitoba versus Ottawa in 130 years
The piece argues Ottawa has long sidelined Manitoba by moving Air Canada and Air Force bases, awarding a Montreal firm a helicopter contract, and eliminating Winnipeg jobs while highlighting substantial DND spending in Manitoba. It notes 17 Wing at Winnipeg and CFB Shilo as key anchors. It urges a federal shift to benefit Manitoba, with 910 million annually from DND and 835 million tied to 17 Wing.
