My understanding is, the issue isn’t technical, it is that the final decision is being made at the provincial/territorial level. So, despite being nearly 2,000 kilometres away in another time zone, the Natural Heritage Information Centre for Ontario is recommending/setting one status for the whole province - including Rainy River and Kenora. Northwestern Ontario needs to secede and join Manitoba, or, become a separate province. (A referendum would pass in a landslide - trust.)
