You can't discount the effect that Hugh McFadden's leadership of the PC's has had in effectively turning off his membership base. Other than the Bipole Hydro issue, there is nothing in his platform to differentiate the PC's from the NDP. Even on the crime issue, his solution is to pour money into the St. James Civic Centre. As far as the deficit goes, he's promising eight years of deficits as opposed to the four touted by the NDP. That doesn't sound very conservative to me. In talking to many conservative supporters lately, it's hard to find anyone who is enthused about McFadden and eager to help him out. The troubles in Manitoba to some extent start with the conservative party itself. Does anyone know what they stand for anymore, other than to be NDP lite?

Too busy trying to become the ndp.

NDP lite? From where I sit it looks like they've been running to the left of NDP.

Only forty minutes into Global's election coverage and they're already declaring a majority for the NDP. No surprise there.

In a parliamentary system, I don't care to see any party get more than three majority governments in a row. After two, they usually start to get complacent, arrogant and wind up doing a lot of damage. They start taking the voters for granted. Three majorities and it's time to clean house. But not in Manitoba. If the Tories don't clean up their own house and soon, they'll hand the NDP a fifth.

I think that the fun's over for Hugh. Or at least it sure should be! WOW.

It has been suggested that the fix to the
problem would be to ban people that
receive a paycheck from the government
from voting. That would include farmers
until the agri-stability/invest program is
eliminated.

I think it's time for Hugh to leave politics and go back to competitive curling. The compaign sucked. The PCs let the NDP run damaging negative ads without attacking back. One promise after another, racing towards years of deficits.

Now the NDP have another majority and Manitoba is doomed to another 4 years of socialist dark ages.

Klause My deepest sympathy.

The NDP here is just plain nasty.... They run a
campaign based on lies, and attacks - whatever
they need to get in...

I'm so glad we're, as they say "outta here!".


4 more years of the NDP... we'll have the most
expensive power, the most cops, even more
expensive healthcare, and at the same time, a
bunch of power outages, even more murders, and
absolutely no way to see a doctor.



Thanks, Saskfarmer :'(

NDP is the same in SK.
Hope we have seen the light and never go back.
November election.

Looks like we're gonna get another hydro line down the center of the province whether we like it or not.
