Manitoba is now collecting above $5 Billion from welfare in a $25 Billion budget and in the same range of dependency as 3 of the Atlantic provinces at 20% of gov’t revenue coming from intergenerational interprovincial welfare payments.
I think there may be some adjustments to this file late in 2026 after the Alberta Separation Referendum.
Perhaps they’ll plant “Victory Gardens” so they don’t starve to death in the cold winters to come…
