Manitoba Act – Queen Victoria Lord Lisgar
By admin
While it may be true that the actual date in the year – the specific date of June 15 was the date when the Province of Manitoba specifically , and legally became a province according to the terms of the :”Manitoba Act”, however May 12 was the prevailing date when the statute was finally given Royal assent – it was physically and officially signed and given the stamp of approval by Canadian Governor , General Sir John Young , Lord Lisgar ,of behalf of Queen Victoria -after being passed by the house of commons. The tally of the vote was fully 120 yes to 11 No. One wonders what was in the minds , or the demands of those dissenting voice or cast votes.
Chosen Dates Celebrations Of Manitoba’s Past
By admin
Interestingly in previous times the date chosen for anniversary and birthday celebrations of the Province of Manitoba was celebrated on July 15 instead of the now current day of the current May 12.
The 50′th anniversary of the province was commemorated itself on July 15, 1920 , with the grand opening of the new Man Provincial Legislative Buildings .
Interestingly the “scandal plagued building” took seven years to complete, and is now regarded as a major landmark of the City of Winnipeg , as well as the Province of Manitoba and indeed symbolizes Manitoba’s progress as well as inherent stability and continual , constant growth.
Manitoba Welcomes the Queen for Its 100 Year Anniversary of Confederation with Canada
By admin
July 15, 1970 was the celebrated event when Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip, the Duke of Edinburgh , rode a carriage from the CNR (Canadian National Railways) station in Winnipeg down wide Broadway Street. In the following carriages were both Prince Anne and Prince Charles. Their eventual destination winding straight down Broadway Street was the Manitoba Provincial Legislative Building. At the Legislative Building , underneath the famous Manitoba Golden Boy, the Queen was to be in attendance to make a speech commemorating the very date on which Manitoba entered the Confederation of Canada , then part of the “British Empire”.
Along that very route it was estimated that some 100,000 people ( fully 1/10 or 10 % of the population of the whole far flung province of Manitoba), to cheer on the Royal Family. Arriving on the grounds of the Provincial “Lege”, the party received a full 21 gun salute, where the Queen and her entourage were greeted yet fully another 15,000 persons.

Louis Riel Leads Provisional Government Dec 27, 1869
By admin
Red River Colony – “Rupert’s Land” - At this point in time – December 1869 – Louis Riel announced that he had become the new leader of the provisional government at the Red River Colony in what was then referred to as “Rupert’s Land” – later to be called the “Province of Manitoba”. This appointment was automatic following the resignation of John Bruce , Louis Schmidt , a lifelong friend of Riel’s suceeded him as secretary .
It could be said at the time that these most dramatic events followed months and months of the most tense of negotiations. On December 10 , 1869 Riel with the help of close associates , Ambroise-Dydime , Lepine and W.B. ODonoghue , hoisted the flag of the “Provisional Government” of the pole in center square of Fort Garry. In design the standard of the new assembly is a fleur-de-lis on a full white backgrounnd.
Riel now held the then colony’s only effective government. While at the time , some experienced and noted political and historical observerers , doubted that he had a strong foundation for an administration there was no question what so ever that Louis Riel had met his first and primary objective – that of keeping “Canada” from establishing William McDougall as the government of the territory which would of been simply “annexed “ by Eastern Canada.

The Dirty Thirties – Effects on Manitobans
By admin
The “Dirty 30’s” which to most Canadians represented the times of the economic depression which followed the marker of the stock market crash had more than a major effect on manitobans and prairie people who lived through it. It served as an indelible marker on their lives. On the other side of the fence many of the social programs which Canadians and even Americans to some degree now enjoy came out of those shaping times. Stanley Knowles , the veteran Canadian policymaker and consummate CCF and later NDP politican was forever influenced by the memory of 3 brothers , who shared one pair of pants , and could therefore only go out one at a time . These memories were forever left on the people who lived through the “Great Depression” and the “Dirty Thirties” of the Canadian Prairies.
Farmers across Canada itself were struggling all the time to cope with the suffering and sufferings brought on by this great depression. In Manitoba itself , farming was the backbone of the provincial economy. When farmers suffered the province of Manitoba suffered. Annual per capita income in Manitoba declined from $ 466 in 1929 to $ 240 in 1933. Although Manitoba’s economy was less dependent on wheat and the wheat crop than that of Saskatchewan and Alberta ” the economic support of nearly 40 % of Manitoba’s population virtually collapsed” due to the large drop in grain prices according to the report of Roswell-Sirois Royal Commission on Dominion Provincial Relations which was released much later in 1940 , just as the world was beginning to come out of economic doldrums due to war in Europe. The co-relation was no news to the fine people of Winnipeg and rural Manitoba.

Social More Rules Pre World War 1 Winnipeg Society

When one visits Dalnavert, the restored mansion home of Hugh Jon Mc Donald – a former premier of the Province of Manitoba and the son of Canada’s first prime minister – Sir John A. Mc Donald , one is struck with the symbol of a small silver plate nearby the front door to the estate. This small plate is most symbolic , it was the place were calling cards were kept. It was the job of one of the main servants to inspect the cards left carefully , to evaluate if the caller was worthy of meeting the master at some point several days later. As such this served as a gatekeeper and enforcer of social standards and norms , in the pre World War 1 era , with all its instinsic rigid social class structures. This was after all Winnipeg , a part of the British Empire
Like the caste system of India , where each group sat in a “pecking order” and knew it well. Those below you in stature knew well that “you were better than them”. There were in addition many newcomers to the city of Winnipeg from Ontario and Britain who while being considered “socially acceptable” , had to be vetted and this either chosen to be welcomed or excluded.
In a city of self made men where almost everyone with money had worked very hard to get it, denying access to the local version of “society” could well be tricky. Leaders of local Winnipeg society , for example such as Mrs. Colin Campbell, the wife of Manitoba’s Attorney General, reinforced a system of “door keepers”, controlling in essence who was in …. who was “out”, who was invited and who was excluded.
Thus the parties given by wealthy hostesses like Mrs Agustus Nanton and Mrs. George Galt were described in the society collumns in the local established newspapers of note , so that those lower down in the totem pole pecking order could read about it and relish the tidbits of society gossip thrown in their paths.
Mrs. Hugh Phillips , the wife of a most successful Winnipeg lawyer in 1912 , recalled many many years later “ I remember Mrs. Sutherland – Lady May we called her because she held her head so high and was so grand. She had a satin blue dining room. She told W.F. Alloway to be careful of the chairs. He had sat down and put his feet up on the other chair. Mrs. George Galt and her husband also entertained on a grand scale. Her husband , George, and his brother John Galt where partners in a large grocery which among other things the firms’s popular “Blue Ribbon” brands. In January 1912 the Galts moved from their home on the corner of Broadway and Donald. to a beautiful new house at 460 Wellington Cresc. George Galt had designed many features of the house and made sure that it had plenty of room for entertainment and entertaining. The music room was eight meters long and 5 meters wide . The Galts daughter Alice recalled , years later “We entertained at home a great deal . We would have sing songs and roll back the rugs id we wanted to dance. We had any number of small parties of about a dozen people or less . We had gotten our first gramophone in 1908, but if we wanted to dance mother would play …When we were going to have a dance my sister and I my sister and I carried up most of the furniture up to the third floor to the would be billiards room so that if people wanted to go up there and sit they could.

Manitoba “Selkirk Settlers”
By admin
Early on in the settlement of Manitoba nearly half of the settlers became so very discouraged by the difficulties that they encountered at the Red River settlement and settlements that they accepted the North West Company’s offer to fund their passage back to “eastern Canada” ( Lower Canada)
Until the arrival of cattle, the settlers lacked the wherewithal to feed themselves during the coming cruel Manitoba winter months.
Once currency began to circulate in greater quantity and quantities , the foundations were laid for further accumulations of wealth.
A noted Peruvian economist has explained that “capitalism” has not functioned in the “3′rd world” because we missed some of the more crucial elements that Westerners had in the 18′th and 19′th centuries , like property rights. It seems that in this evaluation that the capitalism of the time had the ability and abilities to pick up the value of “people’s work”. That is to accumulate and represent value and values and to utilize this to accomplish further productive ability and abilities.
In the particular case and cases of the Manitoba Red River Settlers , they both possessed title to their land and their livestock herds as well. This could then be used as actual collateral for loans in other money earning enterprises.
Thus those “Selkirk Settlers” who stayed on and persevered could do well.
This was the bedrock of the Manitoba experience and the future wealth and economic power and vibrancy of the Canadian Province of Manitoba and its people , society and communities.

Manitoba Lotteries MS Walk
By admin
Join the new Manitoba Lotteries MS Walk which takes place this April and May 2009 across the Province of Manitoba Canada. This event has been reenergized and will enable Manitobans to help MS . The website is www.mswalks.ca . Or you can simply call the toll free phone number 1-800-268-7582 to register by phone.
It is either well known by suffers of MS and their family or sometimes less well known both in and outside of the province that Manitoba and the Saskatchewan areas seem to have among the highest incidence of MS in the world . Furthermore statistical studies have shown and demonstrated that within a generation , new imigrants and their families are up to the same values of prevalence and incidence . Why now one seems to know or is sure. It appears to be something environmental – but just like the location of the ebola virus – no one is sure why . Some think it could be well water . Yet this does not explain the incidence of MS among members of the aboriginal commmunites.
According to a report in the CBC ( the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation):
Canada has one of the highest rates of multiple sclerosis in the world, according to an international survey.
The 2008 Atlas of Multiple Sclerosis showed MS strikes 133 people out of every 100,000 in Canada, the fifth highest rate among countries surveyed between 2004 and 2005.

Prevalence was higher in the United States, Germany, Norway and Hungary, according to the World Health Organization and the Multiple Sclerosis International Foundation, which published the report.
Some people with MS experience little disability during their lifetime. But up to 60 per cent are no longer fully able to walk 20 years after onset, which has major implications for their quality of life and costs to society, the report said. Symptoms appear around 30 years of age on average.
“The Atlas of MS reveals how these implications impact women more than men, by at least two to one, at an age when they are starting a family and developing a career,” said Dr. Benedetto Saraceno, director of the WHO’s department of mental health and substance dependence.
Canada has been a leader in terms of diagnosing, treating and working to improve the quality of life of people with MS. But keeping people with MS employed remains a challenge, the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada said.
Canadian women are more than three times more likely to get multiple sclerosis than men, according to a major study published in November 2006. Among those born in the 1930s, about two women contracted MS for every one man, at a ratio of 1.9 to 1. For those born in the 1980s, the incidence has grown to exceed 3.2 cases for every one case among men.
Why the sudden increase in the neurodegenerative disease, which attacks the brain and spinal cord, causing inflammation and damage that can lead to paralysis and sometimes blindness?
We don’t know. We don’t know what causes MS. We don’t know what cures MS. The whys and wherefores of this mysterious disease have bedevilled scientists, health-care workers and victims for nearly 200 years.
Recent speculation about the cause has ranged from genetics to environment to vitamin deficiencies to even the birth control pill.
Health officials consider a country to have a “high” rate if they have more than 30 cases per 100,000.
The incidence among the provinces varies, from a high of 340 cases for every 100,000 people in the Prairies to a low of 180 cases per 100,000 in Quebec, according to a 2005 study by researchers at the University of Calgary.
Those aged 15 to 40 are most at risk. One out of every two Canadians know someone with MS.
People who live closest to the equator have the lowest incidence of MS.
However, that doesn’t explain why the disease is nearly absent among Canada’s Inuit in the High Arctic and among indigenous people in North America and Australia, or why it is rarely found in Japan.
Study suggests MS is environment-based, preventable
The study on the rising incidence of women with MS was done by a team of researchers led by George Ebers, a professor of neurology at the University of Oxford. It appears in the November 2006 issue of the journal Lancet Neurology.
The higher incidence of MS among women may not be bad news, according to the researchers — because it may help to shed light on what causes the disease.
“What is going on here is something presumably that is preventable,” said Ebers, who was the lead author of the study.
“We just need to find out what it is in the environment. Because it has to be in the environment: your genes don’t change over two generations, three generations.”
Higher estrogen levels, less sunlight blamed
There has also been speculation that because MS is generally more prevalent in colder climates far north of the equator and far south of the equator, it may be due to vitamin D deficiencies.
The body produces the vitamin in response to sunlight and so vitamin D levels fall off in colder countries and in winter because the sun’s rays aren’t intense enough.
Because of the rising incidence of MS among women and because it seems to have started in the 1960s, many others have speculated that the cause may be connected to higher levels of the hormone estrogen due to the introduction of the birth control pill.
But Ebers, who spent 22 years at the University of Western Ontario in London, Ont., before going to Oxford, rejects these factors as likely explanations.
“I think one of the things one thinks of here is either that it’s going to be something in the environment or it is going to be an environmental interaction with genes.”
