Heads up
@CliffCullenMLA
, with 372 presenters registered so far you'll be listening to concerns about Bill 64 in Committee for at least 7 solid weeks. Still think we're a vocal minority? Think again.

: 372 members of the public have registered to make a presentation to the committee on Bill 64.
(204) 945-3636 to add your name to the growing list.
Just in case the Premier missed the other 275 ‘Protect our Schools’ signs up in River Heights, he now has one right in front of his house. You’re welcome Brian.

Excited to announce that I'm seeking the New Democrat nomination in River Heights for the upcoming provincial election. Everything is impossible, until it isn't.

First day of ‘New MLA School’ today. Fantastic guidance from incredible Legislative staff. Great to meet so many thoughtful, enthusiastic new MLAs from both sides of the aisle. Looking forward to working with them in the months, years to come!

Make no mistake, the pending departure of

changes nothing. The

Thrilled to be able to announce that an NDP government will commit the resources to build the 2nd gym at Kelvin High School cancelled by the Stefanson PCs. It's time to turn advocacy into action in River Heights. This is where we begin.

Well thanks for clearing that up
@BrianPallister
. Here I thought the disaster we are in was your fault for slashing health care funding and mismanaging the pandemic— turns out it’s Joe Biden’s fault. How did I miss that?
Make no mistake, the future of health care is on the ballot on October 3rd. This election will be very close, and we simply cannot risk 4 more years PC government. It's time for a change, and River Heights is ready to help make it happen.
#mbpoli
Terrific read about the growing, and legitimate, concerns of educators and parents about the potential impact of Bill 64. The problem for the PC Gov. isn't a misunderstanding about the Bill, it's that we understand it all too well.
Finally!! Well done
@WinnipegTA

@mbteachers
@MFLabour
and those at the Winnipeg School Division who supported a fair offer for Winnipeg Teachers. Now, let's move forward, together, and build the public education system Manitoba deserves.
Thrilled to reconnect with the once and future Premier of Alberta

'Hoping for change' is never how change happens. Direct action is. We need to raise our voices, together -- cast our ballots -- and make it happen. Make sure your voice for change is heard in River Heights.

Unbelievably insulting. I'll compare the amount of time my teaching colleagues and I spend thinking about how to improve student achievement against yours
@CliffCullenMLA

#mbpoli

A couple of things to remember about this non-closure school closure -- there was zero consultation with educators; there will still be students in the buildings; and, unless I miss my guess, all teachers will providing distance instruction from their classrooms.
There is no place for hate in our province. These displays of antisemitism create profound and understandable fear and anxiety in our community. We must work together to fight against all incidences of hate wherever, whenever we find them. Manitoba must be a safe home for all.
I’m offended by the shameless and exploitive photo opportunity offered up as research. Harm reduction saves lives. Period. It’s not the only piece in the complex puzzle of public policy, but it’s a critical one. And it’s deeply disappointing the Minister can’t see that.
#mbpoli
'Bold'? Absolutely not. It's a desperate, cynical attempt by a mean spirited government to change their image after spending their entire time in office grinding families and public services into the ground with an austerity agenda. Too little. Too late. E-322.

LISTEN & SHARE: Stefanson's Campaign Co-Chair, Candice Bergen, says Manitoba's youth are being "brainwashed" at school and university.

In 6 hrs of presentations on Bill 33 the Minister has had just 3 answers to countless concerns -- 1. 'It's the NDPs fault', 2. lowest tuition in the west, or, 3. 'the auditor says we have to.' Not sure he's read the bill.
'First day of the rest of your life.'?
@HStefansonMB
you've been government for 6 years, and you're shuffling the cabinet... it isn't your high school grad. Take heart Manitoba, it's E-623.
#mbpoli

This all comes down to how the education system is funded. If providing teachers with a fair -- overdue -- salary increase causes a district to lay off 100 teachers, then we have a funding problem.
@BrianPallister
@CliffCullenMLA
this is on you.

Watch as the Manitoba Liberals vote with the PCs to defeat an NDP hydro rate freeze motion. There's no possible excuse for turning your backs on struggling families during this affordability crisis.
The PCs voted against freezing your Hydro rates today…
And so did the Liberals.
Our Manitoba NDP team thinks you deserve a break from the rising cost of living so we brought an amendment to freeze Hydro rates.
But the PCs & Liberals voted it down…
Now it’s costing you money
Ok, it’s official… that’s a even 10 pairs of canvassing shoes that gave up their lives for this campaign. Rest in power my friends, rest in power.

Only in a PC pre-election universe is education funding below the rate of inflation sold as anything other than inadequate. E-243 and counting... and we're all counting.

It's time for change in Manitoba. It's time for your voice to be heard. Your vote can improve the health, education, environment and poverty policy direction of our province. Your vote can give River Heights a seat at the table. Be heard.

Let me translate
@CliffCullenMLA
speak for you... when he tells Manitobans to 'do their own research' what that means is, 'listen to what we're telling you, not what Bill 64 says...' Is that clearer for everyone?

… We’d greatly prefer you fund education properly, rather than making us fight over scraps disguised as new money. Every student in every classroom could use a hand.

Manitoba Organization of Faculty Associations has just released an analysis showing examples of plagiarism by the Pallister government of open source bills created by the American corporate lobby group, American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC).
And ‘BOOM’ just like that, 225 ‘Protect our Schools’ signs are up in River Heights. You’re wishing you were here, aren’t you?

‘Continue to improve’ implies you have already been doing so. As a classroom teacher I’m here to tell you haven’t, in fact, you’ve made things much worse. 2023 cannot come fast enough.

This is the clearest possible example of why the

Thank goodness the Premier let me know that COVID has given him the assurance that it will wait outside my school and only infect students and teachers between 4:00 PM and 8:00 AM -- but not during the 8 hours we're together in the building. (sarcasm)
Got my ‘education funding cut cheque’ in the mail today, and it will go directly to throwing out this hack and slash conservative government. October 2023 cannot come fast enough.

Got the tax rebate cheque I didn't ask for today. What I DID ask for was a properly-funded public education system in this province. Donations to the school, food bank, and
