Actually last quarter Manitoba grew faster (0.48M, 0.44S). Saskatchewan had rather stagnant growth until the last couple of years. Both Manitoba are seeing good increases in growth, which is good. Both lost a lot of people to Alberta, but now those people are returning (specifically Saskatchewan). Manitoba is benefiting from international migration. Note also these numbers are for the provinces and not the major cities, although one can assume that the city growth is pretty similar. Overall I am upbeat for both provinces and I believe this growth will continue for the next few quarters, if not a couple of years. After that its hard to say.
