I certainly will rise to the bait my good Pilatus flying friend.
Mr/Ms WestJetCR if you fly into Winnipeg then I'll almost 100% guarantee you've spoken to me at one time or another. I can only speak for Winnipeg Terminal control (I have re-read your post and note you only mention Area and Tower. Deliberate?), but would you please be so kind as to define your "reasonable requests" that are being denied (non-active runway departure/arrival?). I'll also pose this question to you........do you also operate into Saskatoon and Thunder Bay? This is not an attempt at a !!!!!-o-gram, just an honst attempt to ascertain what is going on that is pissing you guys off.
As to the original post, I'm taking a wild stab in the dark here and assuming (I hate that word) that Mr/Ms BigSky could very well be operating out of Harv's in Steinbach/St Andrews. Am I correct?
