it’s provincial election time! that wonderful time when parties compete for our votes by articulating their best ideas and vision for better future Manitoba PCs: ā€œwe will definitely make sure two Indigenous murder victims remain in the dumpā€

šŸ‘‡šŸ‘€šŸ‘€šŸ‘‡. Pretty clear that gov could afford to pay it's workers properly and still make lots of profit. Instead they forced a 5 week strike during summer. #shameful Liquor and Lotteries pulls in record $741-M profit winnipeg-can.newsmemory.com/…

Please read our article The Parental Rights Trojan Horse today in @WinnipegNews. We object to the regressive politics that the term 'parental rights' often represents and how it distracts from actions that are needed to support students and schools. ee.winnipegfreepress.com/?pu…

As a parent of a school-aged child, I know that this is currently the practice. Calls, texts, emails, See-Saws, teachers keep parents very informed. And that’s a good thing! So rather than promising something that’s already happening anyways, how about smaller class sizes?
We’ve been hearing from parents across #Manitoba that they want to be better informed about their children’s wellbeing at school. Our PC Team will enhance parental rights in the Public Schools Act to ensure MB parents play the role they should in raising their kids. šŸ’™ #mbpoli

The Minister of Education has hired a private corporation b/c he doesn't understand the MB Ed curriculum? The Minister of Education is burning tax payer monies to pay an out of province company when he could have paid school boards to deliver the content? edu.gov.mb.ca/k12/cur/teched…

If we somehow find $3/4 billion to widen a road, we can never again say ā€˜we can’t afford it’. Homelessness, transit, active transportation, snow clearing, trees, arts, community centres, even potholes. If we don’t have money for these things, it’s because we choose not to.
With contingency, widening Kenaston to cost up to $715,000,000. Imagine the social good we could achieve with almost 3/4 billion dollars. Even just staying with transportation, for the same cost we could build the full 25 year plan rapid transit network, spanning the entire city.
