  1. So you can’t stand up properly for Manitobans with the New Democrat premier, but you will continue to stand up for Mantibans against Brian Pallister somehow. Got it.

  2. “…..it has become clear to us that he is increasingly being driven by his desire to hold onto his leadership rather than by the best interests of Manitobans.”
    To me, they are accurately describing every political leader at every level of government that I have witnessed in my adult lifetime.

  3. They know something is wrong but they simply can’t pin it on their ignorant ideology, totalitarian progressivism.

  4. Heh
    This is interesting.
    It is hard if not impossible to pick a favored.
    They are socialists after all. The guy in charge rules with iron fist.
    That’s them socialist rules.
    That is why the current Liberal leader is a socialist firebrand, he admires this kind of iron fist leadership stuff. Turn on a dime. Can’t vote as you want. And many more other examples.
    What is surprising that they actually got the guts to go for it.
    This is disregarding their arguments and what they want to do.
    Here’s thinking that they want to give away more free stuff and the guy in charge is forced to be pragmatic, if that would be the term. Could be wrong.

  5. Always interesting to watch when a socialist government gains power and then their unicorn economic theories smash head on into the brick wall of reality.

  6. Must be discouraging to look west and see how well the other provinces are doing while looking east points out the failures of socialism. Stuck in the middle. Was a great song too………clowns to the left of me……….jokers to the right……..stuck in the middle with you………

  7. Where has he been? Living in Manitoba for many, many years, I listened with interest to his many opinions and although I did not agree totally with them, he was a breath of fresh air in the toxic air of Manitoba Politics.
    Cheers

  8. It’s common enough for backbenchers to ditch a government, but when the ministers in your most powerful portfolios quit it’s game over for the premier. Could Selinger become so frustrated with his troops that he calls a snap election?

  9. He does the show from 9 AM to noon on CJOB. I just moved from Winnipeg to Edmonton a couple of months ago but I still enjoy listening to him. It’s better than what’s available locally.

  10. It is a displayed historic fact and a confirmed observation that the natural tendency is for socialist governments to become single party dictatorships of varying degrees. By extension, it is the natural progression of a socialist leader to become dictatorial.
    Democracy and socialism should never be used in the same sentence – the historic record negates the phrase as a fallacious construct.

  11. hee, hee, hee, trouble in socialist paradise. Now what is you newfbertan and saskbusbers are always squawking about when referencing morontario:-)

  12. I don’t wanna suggest there’s hope, but there’s recent indications that there could, at some future date, be the potential for hope politically in Manitoba. The mayoral election, in which the media had all but appointed ex-federal dipper matriarch Judy Wasylycia-Leis, saw her instead thoroughly trounced by a virtual unknown. Bonus: it turns out he’s Metis yet refused to play that card during the campaign.

  13. Resignations, PFFT!
    These guys should get a do-over after taking in a show of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar.
    Togas, baby. Chee-Yeah!

  14. “…accurately describing every political leader at every level of government that I have witnessed in my adult lifetime…”
    HEEEEE, Heeeeee, heeeeeeeee……………….
    Yup. History hasn’t shown us too many who would make a decision in the best interests of their province or country if doing so would jeopardize their clutch on power.
