That is desperately needed.

I really hate minorities. They never make the tough decisions that are inevitably necessary. They just kick the can down the lane. Everything they do is hyper political and short term.

Forces compromise.

We're going to make Winnipeg great again.

Uhhh, some of us actually think Winnipeg is a great city and are looking to make it even greater.

Man, some people are effin' snobs.

It was a take on Trump's mantra.

Maybe we could build something and make Headingly pay for it.

Heather Stefanson is running for Premier for the PCs now.

Is this another example of Pallister's indifference regarding downtown.

Ando · #**972** Posted **Mar 16, 2016, 3:26 PM**

The federal Conservative party is heavily involved in the Manitoba PC campaign. Hence, you will see the Harperite tactics of limiting participation in debates so as to limit the damage Palliser can do to himself on issues where he doesn't look good, and limiting press contact. You will also likely see heavily choreographed "public" events that just happen to be populated by supporters. You may have noticed that Calgary MP Michelle Rempel has been assigned to do a running twitter critique of Selinger.

Ha. I'll get her riled up.

Liberal leader wants to spend road infrastructure money on new daycare spots. “We need to proactively be investing in our province and it can’t always just be roads and highways. We have to be investing in social infrastructure as well”

She has previously announcing spending money geared for infrastructure on culture. So under liberal leadership expect less spending on the provinces road network.

esquire · #**975** Posted **Mar 16, 2016, 5:26 PM**

^ She may have a point, the road network is a bottomless pit. The NDP spends like an order of magnitude more on roads than the Filmon government did and people still aren't happy.

That's because they're only beginning to catch up. Our roads have an average age of about 25 years. It used to be over 30 years. Ideally with our climate it should be 10.

I will do a dance down Grandmont st when Dave Gaudreau loses. He's vile.

Sounds like when The Penguin ran for Mayor in Batman Returns.

New West negotiations begin

Quote:

Manitoba is in talks with Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia to join the New West Partnership trade agreement.

It's among the first moves made by Conservative Premier Brian Pallister after his election last month.

Pallister says he hopes Manitoba will formally sign on to the agreement within his first 100 days in office.

Well, some immediate movement by our new provincial government.
