No oil there.
Manitoba has a significantly higher birth rate than Ontario. Most recent data I got (2013) has MB at 1.91 and ON at 1.51.
That might be it. Maybe higher Aboriginal, Filipino and Mennonite populations have something to do with this?
You might be onto something there. I did a quick skim of census growth in Manitoba by riding. Provencher was one of the fastest growing ridings.
