It's the people.

Yeah cause the City of Winnipeg is such a thriving place to live. 

At least the City of Winnipeg/Province paid for their own perimeter whereas it was rumoured that out-of-towners voluntarily paid for your 'ring road' to enable them to leave Regina quicker..

yeah I work in land development..civil infrastructure...and correct it is thriving

In the last 5 years 48000 people have moved to Winnipeg and the GWA.   That is higher than anywhere else in Canada. So.. Suck It 

Not that I want to support the troll... but most of our population gain is from immigration.

Yes we did benefit from immigration, but at the same time, I'm pretty sure there's some sort of international treaty concerning cruel and unusual punishment that prohibits immigrants and refugees from being situated in Saskatchewan.

Yes. A brand new facility I'm sure has everything to do with why they aren't coming. And I'm sure last year's combine was a turn off to. 

excelent speling/grammar!

or perhaps Kluck meant a turn off, as in an exit, and  got distracted, forgetting to include the turn off destination.

That, and the mandatory prefrontal lobotomy so they wouldn't stand out.

Even those lived a nomadic lifestyle and moved around.

Funner fact.  First Nations folks did not immigrate here because the definition of immigration is: "the international movement of people into a destination country of which they are not natives or where they do not possess citizenship in order to settle or reside there."  There was no nation or country to immigrate to because that concept did not yet exist, therefore, they migrated.  That's why it is inaccurate to say that they are immigrants too.

That's using a modern definition to split hairs. Everyone is an immigrant if you go back far enough.

Actually, it's not. He's correct. Everyone has migrated at some point but, as pointed out, immigration requires the modern concept of country/nation. It's part of the definition.

Well, you'd be wrong, but you'll never acknowledge it so there we are.

Walking from point A to point B to settle is the same act no matter if someone has drawn lines on a map or if maps have even been invented yet. You migrate from and immigrate to.

migrate v immigrate

Can we either lock this down, or start a Gen Forum thread for people to argue about immigration?? 

Would that be considered a migrated thread?
