And now for 2023, you can see the picks up by the NDP in St. Boniface over the Liberals, and the near complete erosion of PCs all throughout the suburbs to the benefit of the NDP. Few PC gains.
Remember:
These maps show change in support relative to the previous election. /End

When did the City of Winnipeg stop collecting yard waste at end of October and not into mid-November? Procrastinators being punished. Local media please do a story. I will pose with my arms crossed looking stern in front of my bags of unpicked up yard waste.

Breaking: A former Winnipeg high school football coach has been sentenced to 20 years in prison. Kelsey McKay pleaded guilty to 9 counts of sexual assault and 2 of luring in connection with 9 former players, most between 15-18 years old, that he coached between 2003-2016.
Here is my pitch for a simple and would surely be a popular regulation concept under Manitoba's consumer protection and employment standard laws....
And all about getting a handle on the ridiculous tip/gratuity creep happening all around us. /1
All of the above serves to protect the consumer, but there is also the need for regulations that protect tip-based workers to ensure the employer is transparent and fair in the distribution of those funds. A number of provinces have such laws, but not Manitoba /7
Compare this week's results to the map from the general election just a year earlier. Its a pretty stark difference. Note that Old Tuxedo barely changed their voting patterns. /2

Breath of fresh air to hear @pdmcleod on @CANADALAND drawing attention to the narrow-viewed commentators in Canada weighing in on tech policy, without understanding how it all fits into a much broader global set of issues. More of this insight in our country's discourse please.

Vancouver comedian Charlie Demers did a show in Winnipeg where he poked fun at the name of our richest neighbourhood. "Where do the poor people live?" he asked. "Dirty Sweatpants?"
