As has already been explained, that isnt a government project, though I know you don't agree...it just isn't.

Improved medicare .. well thats your point of view. There is still examples of hallway medicine, or even worse, people dieing in waiting rooms. There is still a massive nursing shortage... although the increased effort to attract nurses from overseas has proven to be successful.

It's not my opinion. There are 245 more doctors and 2000 more nurses than in 2006. There are 3 more MRIs, a PET, and equipment that we didn't have before. Waiting lists have shrunk...dramatically. It isn't an opinion.

Improved infrastructure should be credited to the increased funding of the federal Conservatives.

No, it shouldn't. This government has increased infrastructure spending every year. I love that the Conservatices are helping, but the NDP doubled the highway budget in 2006 and again in 2007...and increased it by 30 million last year and over 100m this year.

All of this while Manitoba is still a massive have-not province... which goes to show you Manitoba can hardly afford to ignore the books when it involves over budget mega projects. I guess all is great when you wear the necessary NDP rosey glasses.

Manitoba is 13% less have not than when the NDP took office. I remember reading that at one time we depended on the federal government for 40% of our revenue. Now it's 27%.
You don't like the NDP, fine, but it's impossible to deny the progress that this province has made under them.
