Citizenship Test Prep for Manitoba

Manitoba became Canada's fifth province in 1870, following the Red River Resistance led by Louis Riel and the Métis, whose provisional government negotiated the terms of Manitoba's entry into Confederation, including protections for the French language and Catholic schools. Winnipeg is both the capital and by far the largest city, historically a major railway and grain-trading hub at the junction of the Red and Assiniboine rivers. Manitoba's economy today combines agriculture, manufacturing, and hydroelectric power. In 2023, Wab Kinew became Manitoba's premier and the first First Nations person to lead a Canadian province.
