I'm not sure which database you're talking about; the tz database has just one
entry for Manitoba, namely America/Winnipeg. As the file 'northamerica' says,
America/Winnipeg's pre-1970 data is mostly taken from Shanks & Pottenger, which
says that parts of Manitoba used different rules before 1970. The tzdata cutoff
is 1970, though, so I ignored the other Manitoba locations. For the ignored data
you might try consulting Shanks & Pottenger directly, though I should warn you
their data's reliability is spotty.
