April 19 Manitoba Election

[foragefarmer]

Pallister will win the election, no idea what the seat count will be. Brain will then lower the PST to 7%. With lower government revenues coming in, it will be interesting which government programs Brain will attempt to cut. I doubt any government public service jobs will be lost, as Brain himself was a union rep when he was a teacher. This will make it very difficult to lower the provincial debt any time soon.

Pallister's popularity has more to do with the NDP's raising the PST by 1% after promising they wouldn't, rather than any new policies Pallister will be bring in.

I wish him luck, as Manitoba is a great province!!!

How can u expect him to fix all those years of freebees in a short time. There will never be a government no matter what color balance the books. There are too many takers and not enuf givers. Look at our health care system. Unsustainable yet Stalinger has the nerve to ask him in the debate what part of health care will he privatize. We are screwed in so many ways there is no way out unless we sort it out the old fashion way. But we are way to civilized now.

Am I the only one who finds the irony funny... Grassfarmer, a fairly left-leaning type, left alberta just before the NDP got into power, and moved to Manitoba, just before the NDP got killed off...

Simple things amuse simple minds. To keep your facts straight I left Scotland just before the socialists took over there, moved from AB after the NDP came to power.

No government Can fix the NDP screw ups in one term. It takes years to destroy them. If Manitoba doesn't do it right the people will still vote them in again in 4 years.
But after two or three the die hard have died off or left for Alberta and new voters don't know or remember the NDP. But these new ones can also screw you if a leader woos them.

The youth and young adults in Manitoba today will be feeling the pain of being cash strapped due to the horrible decisions by the Selinger socialist reign of terror for a LONG time.

$36 billion doesn't disappear overnight.

Grassy you really néed to learn to take a joke hahaha.


I agree the NDP takes time to kill because of the establishment they create... people are loyal to the tit that feeds them...


Would like nothing more than to see them reduced to 1 or 2 seats and have the libs become opposition.


Next election hopefully Alberta will turf those bloodsucking leaches too

I don't mind a conservative or liberal govt and the ndp in the ethereals. That seems to work the best for stability. NDP leaves a trail of cronyism, nepotism, high debt, and little to show for it. I remember some political scientist friends of mine said whatever happens politically in Saskatchewan comes to the rest of the country eventually. Saskatchewan is the political melting pot of Canada. Lol. All we hope is ndp is punted everywhere and they join the greens and Marxists and go **** themselves. Prime minister selfie looks like a breath of fresh air compared to Tommy the Commie, and he wasn't left enough for the party. Good move, good move.
