Winnipeg – Manitobans are typically quite confident about the economic prospects of their own communities, but they are also quite bullish about the country’s economic future, a Jory Capital-sponsored survey of 1,002 Manitobans conducted exclusively for the Winnipeg Free Press by Probe Research Inc. finds.

In addition to asking Manitobans to express the level of confidence they have in the economic outlook of their home communities, for the first time Probe Research asked Manitobans to assess Canada’s economic future. Fully eight-in-ten Manitobans (80%) have a positive outlook about Canada’s prospects, with 27 percent of those surveyed being very optimistic about the country’s economic future. Only fifteen percent of those surveyed take a negative view of the national economy (including 4% who are very pessimistic), while four percent were undecided.
