The results were clearer for the largest cities. Winnipeg may be something of an exception too. I'm not an expert on Winnipeg but in most large Canadian cities down town is a highly sought after place to live and is, mostly, relatively high income. I get the impression that that's not true in Winnipeg.
The farm sector in Canada, like most industrialised countries is highly subsidised. It also accounts for about 2% of employment so its small. I'm sure there are farmers who don't rake in huge subsidies but many do. Milk quota wouldn't be a valuable traded commodity if it weren't for supply management, which is a form of subsidy. Find me another economic sector where 2% of the workforce gets its own cabinet minister.
