Asper wants even higher taxes

Noted failed football stadium builder wants to jack up taxes even more. I guess if you are rich off dads money yet another tax hike won't hurt you as much as us. Asper needs to take a step back. All he knows how to do is cost us all money

The losses keep coming for Manitoba

http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews/Manitobas-retail-sector-failed-to-cash-in-on-warm-weather-153124845.html

Less retail sales. And now we have higher taxes. Interprovincial migration losses are piling up.
The deficit is nowhere near being balanced.
But hey, today's NDP tells us things have never been better.
I'd say we can do something about this  in 3.5 years, but it also looks like the NDP want to change the eleciton law again and hold the next election later so as not to have their election near the federal election.
Sigh. Let's just hope Alberta and Saskatchewan can keep paying for the NDP way of life in this have-not province.

Why should Winnipeg settle?

http://www.winnipegsun.com/2012/04/25/brodbeck-water-park

Let's see - new arena is too small, not enough washrooms or seats. Wpg settled.
New football stadium - funded through the back door, no roof, useless in winter. Wpg settled.
New waterpark - smaller than Edmonton. Same size and Grand Forks. Wpg settles?
Not yet. But think bigger people. You want world class, you go big.
The only time Wpg hasn't settled is for that useless museum no one's going to visit unless their teachers order them to.
Good luck getting parents to pay to send their kids to that depressing shrine to the Aspers.

The NDP budget

What a failure that was. I won't go into great detail, but suffice it to say, Manitoba is doomed under this NDP government. They hit us with the largest tax grab in recent memory.
The gas tax is going to hurt us all. It's an attack on the middle class. It's going to make everything cost more. It's now more difficult for rural people to come to Winnipeg for medical appointments.
And it makes crossing over into Saskatchewan all the more appealing. These high taxes are chasing thousands from Manitoba to other provinces, just like Saskatchewan, which is lowering taxes and growing it's population at our expense. This is felt the most in the west part of the province, where shopping and better paying jobs are only minutes away.
Even expanding the PST - that's an attack on women who get their hair done.
The budget is also nowhere close to being balanced, and as wel continue to lose people to other provinces, we're going to continue to struggle to get into the black.

And nevermind Alberta is set to elect the Wildrose government who are tired of footing the bill for the rest of the country. Especially places like Manitoba and Quebec, who feel entitled to their entitlements at their expense.

We're in a lot of trouble, and this government, who cower in fear at the feet of unions, is ill prepared to do anything about it.

NDP is in trouble

They are crying about the federal budget - one that doesn't go deep enough in cuts as far as I'm concerned.
They cry about not getting enough money from Ottawa while living far beyond their means and rewarding their union friends every chance they get.
They are a disaster and we deserve this. We elected these bums yet again.
They have no plan. No way to grow this province. No plans to tap into the vast wealth that sits in the ground because they cower in front of First Nations and enviromentalists, and they don't care what happens 30 miles outside Winnipeg.
The upcoming budget will be a disaster. I expect even more people to flee, and soon even record immigration won't help.
And even if the province conitnues to "grow" it will be the wrong kind of growth. The loss of our youth to other provinces with lower taxes and safer cities. While the poor and old remain, begging for a socialist government to care for them from cradle to grave.
We're doomed.

Charles Adler - Tori's Law

Do you think those who abuse and murder children deserve a lethal injection?
http://www.charlesadler.com/2012/03/petition-for-toris-law.html
Then visit this site.
Charles Adler is saying what a lot of people are saying right now - we need harsher penalties for those who go after our children. We as a society have bent over backwards for the left, soft on crime set.
Let's ramp up the pressure. Let's make sure the sick monsters in our society are put down, not coddled.

Budget coming

And we're going to see just how bad the provincial NDP really are.
We're already getting pounded with property and education taxation hikes. Reassessment continues to make people who actually care for their homes pay more taxes while the inner core pays less. Unemployment is up. Interprovincial migration losses are rising.
And now average teacher at best Stan Struthers will deliver his first budget.
We're in trouble.
