If this was such a pipe dream for the City then why would Canada's largest grocer be investing some $200 million into the plan. Why would they not be directing that investment to Winnipeg if it was the superior location. Again at the end of the day, Regina has started the process and is actually seeing dirt being moved, Winnipeg's plan is nothing but paper.

I am not really sure how a grocery store warehouse relates to an inland port status.... but seeing you think so please note Sobey's to looking at building its second large warehouse in the Winnipeg area (Headingly) ... and Safeway has a very large distribution centre in Winnipeg as well.. which includes the bakery services for the prarie region .... that should lock in massive trade contracts with those Russians.
Sorry ... but gocery store warehouses means very little in the context of global trade. Congrats on your soon to be fresher food products.
