As would I! They should see what’s happening to indigenous communities and our irreplaceable wilderness.

I live in northern Manitoba. The devastation of these fires is beyond imagining. The wind gusts since yesterday are definitely not helping. Politicians talking of pipelines and private sector investments seems tone deaf when facing this climate disaster.

Luckily mine is all grown, but it was a serious juggling act 10 years ago. It’s got to be ludicrous now!

Being a single parent is extremely expensive!

I don’t recall voting to give a “strong mandate” to work with the US. Pretty sure it was about strengthening Canada and shoring up other trade partners. Disappointed doesn’t adequately describe how I feel.

I hope he’s lying yet again. I don’t want my country consorting with the US while the current administration reigns.

Interesting way to entice manufacturing back to the US.

It feels like there’s been a shift to adoration of politicians. It’s troubling.

I’m a skeptic as well. The talk of private investors is a big concern for me. People/environment over companies or private interests. And Canadian investment over external investment.

If you knew anything about crimes against women, you’d know it’s about power and control and lack of moral character of the offender.

Perhaps Canada could “cut wasteful spending” by having a government home for the PM and the leader of the opposition and just have one for the PM. I hope PP’s behaviour makes this a reality. Then this won’t ever be an issue again.

Also, with Premier Wab Kinews’ recent announcements of power to Nunavut, more shipping through Churchill, potential second port opening, etc, this is all very good news for an often forgotten and much deserving northern population!

You’re welcome! I was very excited to see her and her appointment.

Rebecca Chartrand is from northern Manitoba riding, just as a correction. I only know because I live in her riding. She was elected over NDPs Nikki Aston.

I’m 100% in agreement. I’m in my early 50s. In my youth, promised equality. Lived with delusion and have seen the slow slide backwards over the past ten years. Incels. Accepted algorithms programmed with biases. Conservative groups now attacking bodily autonomy. We need a seat at the table.

Andrew Sheer is currently opposition party leader.

I feel like this push has to be supported, funded, and pushed by people interests outside of Canada. Also, double oil and gas and reduce climate restrictions? Alberta would end up a toxic dump in 20 years. Finally, if you aren’t Canadian, how can you benefit from Canadian passport & pension?

I wonder if she’ll get picked.

As a resident of Manitoba, I’m shocked. This is disgusting. Winnipeg must do better!

The new god is money. Money over people. They don’t care what happens to Canadians who travel to the US. They just want the money.

I was raised in a home where he was THE villain of the day. Regrettably, my social programming was strong and took many years to shed. Now, I would and will fight for my daughter’s bodily autonomy.

As one of his millions of landlords, he needs to get out. No squatters!

It’s a hint we’re following the US on the decent into authoritarianism. We are on the precipice. I wish I’d seen it sooner. It’s been happening since Mulroney at least.

Can we please outlaw lobbying! Wasn’t this illegal once upon a time in Canada? So infuriating that the $ means more than people. The new god is money.

That’s fair! I much prefer sitting at home and making my own coffee. It’s more reasonably priced, tastes better, and is a cleaner environment

I always got garbage guts after eating or drinking anything from there. Should’ve stayed away when they got rid of the walnut crunch and replaced it with breakfasts.

They’re not Canadian owned anymore, so I don’t consider them a Canadian restaurant. I refuse to support them. And 100% their coffee is garbage.

Pretty sure that someone is trying to expedite the process with “drill baby drill” so they can extort minerals from Greenland and have an ice free northwest passage. The billionaires all have bunkers to keep them “safe”. They don’t care.

And should. Personally, I want to vote for candidates who live in the area and are familiar with the reality/conditions/industry/challenges of my area and are invested in its population. Appropriate representation!

It would be an amazing turn of events if he still lost that riding.

19.3% in sales is 19.3% too much.

He represents the worst attitude of entitlement. He needs to be evicted. If he can earn his leadership back, so be it. Until then, get out of government subsidized housing.
