On July 15th, 1870, Canada welcomed its fifth province, Manitoba, into its dominion as a full province with protections for language, schools, and land. Yet today, Manitoba is unrecognizable. It has become sickened with vast amounts of crime, drugs, poverty, a devastated economy, political corruption, and most notably, mass migration and multiculturalism.

00:00:00.000 I'm standing outside the Manitoba Legislature, where this week marks the 156th anniversary of Manitoba's entry into Confederation.
00:00:08.920 On July 15, 1870, Canada welcomed its fifth province.
00:00:13.100 Now, this anniversary reminds us of what Canadians can achieve together.
00:00:17.040 In the late 1860s, the Red River Settlement sat at the heart of Rupert's Land.
00:00:21.900 When the Hudson's Bay Company transferred the territory to Canada, local people grew concerned.
00:00:26.460 Louis Riel and the Métis took leadership, they formed a provisional government, seized Fort Gary, and drew up a list of rights.
00:00:34.280 Through firm negotiation, they secured the Manitoba Act.
00:00:37.840 On July 15, 1870, Manitoba entered our dominion as a full province with protections for language, schools, and land.
00:00:45.980 Settlers from many backgrounds, predominantly European, soon arrived.
00:00:49.760 They built life on the prairie, created the breadbasket that fed our nation,
00:00:54.480 turned Winnipeg into the gateway to the West, and developed the resources that served all of Canada.
00:00:59.960 Manitobans fought as in one in two world wars and helped forge our shared identity as loyal subjects of the crown.
00:01:07.520 Yet today, Manitoba is unrecognizable.
00:01:10.340 It has become sickened with vast amounts of crime, drugs, poverty,
00:01:13.880 trumbling infrastructure, a devastated economy, political corruption, and most notably, 0.99
00:01:19.040 mass migration and multiculturalism, which eroded the strong national identity that gave birth to 0.93
00:01:24.940 Manitoba in the first place. Our ancestors built, sacrificed, and suffered so their descendants 0.86
00:01:30.440 could speak with one confident voice as a people. Today, that voice has been silenced. We no longer
00:01:36.640 speak as one nation because multiculturalism forces us to include the voices of other nations.
00:01:43.160 Regional strengths, like Manitoba's, have been overshadowed by policies that put diversity
00:01:48.280 above unity and weakened the very nation we inherited.
00:01:52.240 This loss, though, is not permanent.
00:01:54.160 We do not have to abandon our heritage.
00:01:56.460 There is still a chance to restore what we have clearly lost.

00:02:04.640 Remember the true story of Confederation, the bold pioneers who created it,
00:02:09.100 and why our brave ancestors did what they did for us.
00:02:12.600 Manitoba shows what Canada once was and what we can become again.
00:02:16.700 Let us honour 1870 by rebuilding the strong distinct nation our forefathers left us.
00:02:22.200 Together, we will restore what is ours. Long live Canada.
