So while we might have missed the recent highs it appears we'll likely miss some of the lows. Slow and steady the good ship Manitoba.Winnipeg Sun Manitoba will be better sheltered from the effects of the global economic downturn than nearly every other province in Canada, says a report released yesterday.
The Ottawa-based Conference Board of Canada -- one of the country's largest think tanks -- released its latest economic projections yesterday, predicting Manitoba will have the second-highest economic growth in Canada in 2008, and the third highest next year.
The report projects a 2.7% increase in our gross domestic product this year, second to Saskatchewan, and a 2.4% increase in 2009. Both are well above the national average.
Now imagine where Manitoba might be today under a different provincial government.
