Southwestern Manitoba is an international centre for pig farming and food processing. The Maple Leaf plant in Brandon and the Hylife plant in Neepawa employ mostly foreign workers, who don't have the same rights as domestic workers, through Canada's temporary foreign worker program. Sheldon Birnie is a Winnipeg writer who wrote "Living the HyLife: How meat packers are fuelling migration to Manitoba towns", in briarpatchmagazine.com, and "Hogtown, Manitoba", in dominionpaper.ca.
