2403...The Greatest Manitoban Passes

Duff Roblin, who was Premier of Manitoba from '58 to '67, a true Progressive Conservative, passed yesterday.

The Winnipeg Free Press reports that he was the man who went for the floodway, derided by many as "Duff's Ditch", a viaduct that has saved the city of Winnipeg from horrible floods several times over the last half century or so.
