I think Manitoba could realistically take on the little chunk of NW Ontario around Lake of the Woods...maybe up to around Kenora. Anything more would bankrupt us.
This is true. Love NWO and I go there often for camping, canoeing, cottage in Kenora, etc. however, and no offense to NWO - but we don't want any part of you past Kenora or maybe up to Vermilion Bay or so. If anything, Manitoba should be relinquishing some of it's vast territory not absorbing more. We can't afford to service what we have.
