Sorry guys, but Winnipeg has Edmonton and Calgary beat hands down in terms of transportation and distribution.

Winnipeg is still the major rail hub of Canada, with the second largest rail yard on the continient. Winnipeg International is also one of the very few 24hr/day airports in the nation and the third largest air cargo center in Canada. Winnipeg is also on the Mid-continiental Corridor conecting Winnipeg and Mexico City straight through. This highway has been designated by the three nations as the primary mid-continental route for truck transportaion between the NAFTA partners. Winnipeg has layed the ground work for being the primary transportion hub decades ago.

Although both Edmonton and Calgary could make an arguement as regional hubs.
