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?

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.

When a scandal isn't a scandal

The lefties have been falling all over themselves apologizing for the robo scandal.
Here's my favourite.
Dear Sir,

I am writing, at your request, to state that my comments which have been published recently, were not intended to suggest that Mr. Kouvalis, Mr. Ciano, or Campaign Research provided, discussed or made suggestions to participants regarding any illegal or unethical tactics and apologize for any distress that has been caused to your clients.

Yours truly,

If in fact someone in the federal Conservatives is behind this I hope they pay the price. But so far, all I see is people such as Fryer and Pat Martin facing lawsuits. Love it!

NDP moves ahead with UNESCO

Wasting money to protect an area they will run a road through but not a bipole line? Hypocrites. Think of all the oil and coal that will be wasted thanks to the longer, less effecient route they want to give their union buddies more money.
And to top it all off who's ever going to visit this site in the middle of nowhere? No one. Jasper, yes. Manitoba UNESCO area, no.

January... time for a post

Well here we are. It's January. The NDP are laying the groundwork for breaking a lot of their election promises by saying things are in fact worse than they thought. Apparently they only realized right before Christmas (when people could care less) that there was a flood and it affected Manitoba's bottom line.
They didn't apparently know this during the election.
Which is bull.
They lied to us.
Look, Hugh ran a campaign that was socialist drivel. He's lucky he won his seat. But at least he was honest enough to say the books were probably worse than the NDP was letting on.
And now, after they won, so are they.
They were talking floor last January, but were surprised by the costs?
That makes them either bad planners or inept. Which is it?
Ah, that's better... and be sure to keep reading the Black Rod for the real story behind that White Elephant that is the Human Rights Museum. What a joke that's turning out to be.
