More support for the east side

First Nations leaders are now standing up and supporting the shorter route on the east side. When will the NDP clue in and reverse their decision?

Deadline almost up for spending announcements

I don't know why governments spread the cash around right before elections, but the deadline for the NDP is quickly coming up. Then it will be a straight up election fight, not a spend our money fight.
I have heard a few rumours of more than one surprise to expect in the next couple of weeks. One would be a huge shocker for the NDP. Stay tuned.

What seats the PCs will target

I think the NDP will for sure lose Dauphin. Stan Struthers is as feeble a MLA as I've ever seen. He's wishy washy and would be on the back bench if the NDP were not so weak in rural Manitoba.
Swan River, though, might be tough, as they keep making that riding less rural and more northern, which clearly benefits the NDP. Swan River also stole some NDP-friendly polls from Dauphin in the last reallocation. Sorry about that Stan.
In Winnipeg, I think the south part of the city is ready to abandon the NDP. Those people are itching for balanced budgets and real tax cuts. They're not going to get that from the NDP.
The flood, as the story indicates, will also be a factor. It all makes for a really interesting fall election.

Stupid looters

Great Facebook pages out there. I hope every single one of the people who rioted are arrested and their names are made public. Not really Manitoba news, but we're all hockey fans and I'm sure we're all sickened by this crap. What did they think, this was a G20 summit?

NDP sinks to a new low

Does the NDP plan to run on their record? Would you if you were the NDP?
No, they plan on smears and lies. There's no honour in that NDP party.

No more big acts?

It takes a special sort of mentality to piss of a pro-union, left-leaning band such as U2. But Manitoba did it, apparently, with their over-the-top, pro-union antics.
Great job unions - you've likely scared other big acts from coming to Winnipeg.

Selinger a big fan of "Mark Keane"

We all heard it. What a NHL phoney. And that stupd grin on his face on the WFP site today.
People know a phoney when they hear and see one Selinger. And you, sir, are as phoney as it gets when it comes to the NHL.
