can't any of our politicians see things like this.

Like how the increase in money going to Quebec in the last budget let them cut taxes there! Great idea!

Well, this is it hey, big vote day......... don't know what to expect.

I guess I don't really expect much........ Whatever the outcome is, I'm just gonna cross my fingers and hope for the best. Hoping the future of our Province/City will prosper........ time will only tell.

Still early, but results are showing a third consecutive NDP majority.

Looks like they gained a seat...Manitobans have spoken.

Bah! They should strip the network of its broadcast rights and give 'em to a *responsible* network. They've already predicted an NDP majority. Give us something where the outcome isn't known...
