Pallister leading the Premiers on health care is like putting an arsonist in charge of fire safety. During a pandemic, he gutted MBs health care while getting new fed $, ignored every warning & we’re currently shipping critical care MBans out of province. #mbpoli #cdnpoli

The joke's on us, since while the Conservatives want to pretend a 3c increase in the gas tax is to blame for everything, there is arguably no single MP who has benefited more from the housing and rental crisis than Marty Morantz. This 2022 @globalnews report said that of all

Today, everyone noticed Justin Trudeau’s April fools day joke. Unfortunately, it’s no joke. In total, the carbon tax adds 17 cents a litre and he still wants to quadruple the tax by 2030. Time to Axe the Tax!

Both @cselley and @acoyne ignore that it was standard practice under the last Conservative government to have backbenchers bring forward rights-violating private member's bills. And Mulroney's HoC passed a bill criminalizing abortion. It died in the senate.

Steinbach Pride was not attended by any PCs. There was no security, so there was no parade on the street. We had to stick to sidewalks. Pride is supporting people who are 2SLGBTQ+ asserting that they should not have to live in shame, as others expect them to do. #mbpoli 1/2

2/ During the conference, Manitoba’s Education Minister - who is in charge of a massive K-12 review of education - urged attendees to use Covid19 to push privatization, alluding that the “majority” of education could be private in the future. This is not good. #mbpoli

The PCs and Premier Stefanson are missing in action on the return to school, without ensuring they will keep schools safe, despite having 2 years to do so. They have not announced any desperately needed supports for Early Learning and Child Care centres. 1/2 #mbpoli #mbschools

Brian Pallister is blaming the federal government for health care wait times as he completely restructures and fails to invest in our province’s health care system. It’s clear from Pallister’s comments that he is stuck in the 1980s and has learned nothing since. #mbpoli #cdnpoli

The fact that @AngusReid is posting this nonsense is a sign of just what a poisonous cesspool and moral bankruptcy our national debate has become. I want to focus for a moment on Reid's use of the word "narrative." There is a difference between stories and history, and that

Should the mayor resign because his wife passed a book to some folks which disputes much of the unmarked grave narrative? Will questioning this narrative become “hate” under proposed federal laws? Yet another battle brewing in Canada’s culture wars.

Every person in this province has been helped by something that was created at the University of Manitoba, or by someone who was taught there. The province needs to get on board and recognize that this needs to be settled immediately. #mbpoli #MBEd @UMFA_FAUM

The PCs cancelling of Bill 64 (as well as 16, 35, 40 & 57) is a colossal victory. Every year, bills are routinely held up but pass anyway. It only happened because of an unprecedented grassroots campaign to defend local democracy. Your voices were heard loud and clear. #mbpoli

As MB makes international headlines for our Covid crisis, a Steinbach-area school issued a gag order telling teachers not to talk about vaccines because parents think it's a sensitive topic - a frightening look into what could be the norm if Bill 64 passes. #mbpoli #MBEd
