  1. Manitoba NDP Statement of Principles
    Our society must change from one based on competition to one based on co-operation. We wish to create a society where individuals give according to their abilities and receive according to their needs. We believe present human endeavour must become environmentally sound to ensure that future generations may have access to an abundant and diverse biosphere.

    Our purpose as a movement is to foster social change towards a more co-operative society. Our purpose as a political party is to develop a public mandate for that social change by giving individuals greater control in the economy, their workplace and their community. Our actions and words must reflect our fundamental faith in the capacity of people to live co-operatively and to work for the betterment of all.

    Our commitment to the electorate is to be forthright about our long-range goals as well as practical about our short-term political objectives.

    Upsets me that that many in this province think that is a good policy. Should really encourage the professionals to move here. Don’t work hard for your own benefit, work hard for the greater good because you can and others won’t.

    2. In typical brain-dead NDP logic the second paragraph is incompatible with the first, which is the basis for communism and other similar tribal authoritarian cultures. Eventually Manitoba will become the equivalent of a provincialized Indian Reserve living off the taxpayers of other provinces as long as the deranged dominion continues its bifurcated existence.

      1. Become?

        Its been that way for decades. When 40% of your budget comes from Federal Transfer payments, you’re already living on the Rez.

        We Are All Treaty People Now.

    3. “We wish to create a society where individuals give according to their abilities and receive according to their needs.”

      Pulled it right out of the communist manifesto.
      It is written right there, if you have not read it.

    4. Hm.It’s the famed Communist Manifesto under a new name.

      Manitoba, the Province in which I was born and raised, was long ago a place that produced goods, from mining to forestry to agriculture, but in the late ’60’s it began to segue into a socialist region, maybe because so many people moved to Winnipeg and the manufacturing base there disappeared.

      My old home town, a village of about 650, has no production base any more except a small amount of farming , most of the residents are on mincome or whatever they call it now.

      I wonder if there will be a battle for tax dollars between the Manitoba Metis federation and the new FN Chief/Premier. Sad to see my old home province succumb to the wiles of the psuedo- communists with their bullshit rhetoric.

      1. Agreed. It is my home province as well. The NDP ruined it the first time and now will dig the hole so deep it will never get out.
        Sad…..

    5. Isn’t the socialist line – Our society must change from one based on competition to one based on co-operation (and if you object we will kill you.)

  2. All the streets will be changed to Indian names. Every landfill in the province will be dug up.

  5. From the CBC this morning. ‘…residential school survivor who endured horrific abuse…’ and in the next sentence, ‘Both Kinew’s parents were well educated…’
    A fine example of sucking and blowing at the same time?

    “Kinew was born in Ontario and lived on the Onigaming First Nation as a young boy. His late father was a residential school survivor who endured horrific abuse and passed on to Kinew the importance of Anishinaabe culture and language.
    Both Kinew’s parents were well educated and wanted the same for him. He spent some of his formative years in a suburban neighbourhood in southern Winnipeg and graduated from a private high school.”

    1. Thanks, Buzzy. Kinew is about as much a victim as Colin Kaepernick, though not as accomplished.

  6. Excellent.
    As our choices shrink,Independence will follow.
    We can stop worrying about incorporating Manitoba.
    Later on ,the Nation of Buffalo will buy the land,from the bankruptcy administrators.

    1. Excellent.
      When AB / Sask. separate from the sinking ship, tier 2 Old Canada will still have the Manitoba dependency.
      It’ll balance the debtors between Old Canada’s traditional welfare dependencies in eastern Canada, and their “new western portion”.
      There’s no way the NDP will call a referendum on the cow providing their milk.

      $24 billion debt at Manitoba Hydro. Who did this? NDP

      How high will it be in 4 years? The interest on that $24 billion was near zero. Now, things have changed.

      1. MB Hydro will have to be sold to remain in operation as these parasites mine it’s profits to hide deficits once again. Then they will blame the PC’s.
        The last crew was incompetent (less Doer), this crew is worse and woke.
        Watch the flock of parasite flocking to Manitoba for plum positions from other failed NDP governments from across the country. The parasite class in action.
        I heard they are backtracking already on opening more ER’s.
        Typical.

  7. Saskatchewan needs to build a wall and make Manitoba pay for it.

    Cut the PST to zero or at least cut it in half to 3%. That would bring a lot of Manitoba spending to Saskatchewan.

    Offer better tax rates for high income earners. Buy bus tickets for those who prefer not to work (I’m not saying for those who can’t work).

  8. The kiddie diddlers must be giddy with glee. Children in Manitoba public schools will be overwhelmed with unlimited sexual perversion instruction.

  9. Kinew’s health care spending list is stunningly massive and the chances of finding people to staff all of these facilities are about the same as the chances of finding a body in a garbage dump.

    But the voting public today are mostly like Soviet peasants in a bread line. They want their bread, somehow, and cannot fathom why it just doesn’t magically show up when the central planners command it.

  10. This doesn’t sound like that Western Canadian hard nosed conservativism I keep reading about here. What are we down to now? Isolated pockets of Alberta?

    1. Well, Manitoba never really was. Too large a “First Nations” percentage in Manitoba. And of course, that results in block voting.

    3. Winnipeg is 75% of Manitoba’s population and has one of the largest indigenous populations in the country. Rural less the north is solid blue, Winnipeg and the north are solid orange. The parasites outnumber the producers.
      It’s call f**ked.

  11. The other factor in the Manitoba election is the pandemic fiasco headed up by Brian Pallister. His Angry Dad persona alienated a lot of Tory voters and many responded by sitting on their hands in this election.

    Political Science 101: don’t treat your supporters as if they were the enemy

    1. Don’t forget Heather stealing the leadership from Shelly Glover with suddenly found ballots. When our side adopts the tactics of the Demonrats who is left to vote for? The handling of the pandemic was tyrannical. I personally phoned my MLA – Ewasko – a highly educated and knowledgeable school teacher (he told me himself how smart he was ). I stayed home. He won anyway. I wish he had been tossed.

      1. My area flipped to NDP for the first time in forever. Hardly saw the Con candidate. the NDP guy was every where. Plus there was a huge turnout at the two reserves where I live from under 30% last time to almost 60% this time.

      2. Yes Shelly Glover should have won leadership and we would not be facing this fiasco now as she would have been elected.
        The establishment handed it to Stefanson as she was an inside player.
        That worked well.
        Idiots.

  12. So what are the statistics?
    How many residents were eligible?
    How many people voted?
    How many voted for the conservatives the last time and this time?
    How many voted for the socialist extremists the last time and this time?

    One other thing, it would seem that the Manitobans like to live on borrowed money and ‘free’ stuff.

    It remains to be seen how extreme the extremist will get.

      1. Wobbly Canoe will be like Selinger on Steroids. Hang onto your wallet, or better yet get out if you can.

  13. Sad to see that misogyny is still alive and well in Manitoba. Had a chance to show Canada that women are just as equal… but I guess not yet.

  15. The conservatives lost. A legacy of Brian Pallister – a Manitoba Premier and resident of Belize. The election was not stolen.

    I just spent most of the spring, summer and fall (got me moose) up in the bush of NW Ontario near a rez. Third world living conditions in one of the richest countries in the world. The kids are phequed.

    I’m no fan of the ndp or their politics but I am willing to give Wab Canoe a chance to be a leader and example to the young native kids. It looks like he turned his life around and he can make a difference in the native community if he chooses to.

      1. Hopefully not like Barack but don’t be surprised if it ends the same.

        All I’m saying is the guy has a chance to do something no other native leader has done. Be an example to the kids.

        I’m no bleeding heart when it comes to the situation the tribes find themselves in. I’m sympathetic but they have to find it within themselves to fix their problems.

        And yes scar corruption is rampant and widespread. I’ve been on those northern reserves and seen it first hand.

    2. “Third world living conditions in one of the richest countries in the world. The kids are phequed. ”

      Check the financial statements if they are not hiding them. That third world reserve of a thousand people likely has a $30 million budget. Poverty on Indian reserves has everything to do with not being related to the ruling clan. More corruption than the Liberal Party of Canada.

  17. Great. Our ‘leader’ is a drunk driving, taxi driver-assaulting, fraudulent cheque-cashing bully with racist overtones.

    I wonder if he will even pretend to address issues that aren’t aboriginal-only in nature?

  18. There are many obvious reasons for not voting NDP, however do the voters of Manitoba (most of them anyway) not realize that the turbanned fool who is the ultimate leader of the NDP is the sole reason that this country is stuck with Trudeau and his relentless march toward dictatorship? Apparently they fail to acknowledge the fact that “free” stuff is, in fact not free and there is not an endless supply of it.

  19. A Massage From Emperor Justine The Most Virtuous

    “We congratulate Wasabi Kanoe and the Nude Demonrat Kegger Party of Manitoba on their erection…

    “We look forward to working with Premier-designate Canoe and the pinko government to deliver results on the things that matter most to Manitobans. This includes making life more unaffordable for families, driving our clown car away from economic growth, advancing grift and reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples, building more homes out of cardboard, at a snail’s pace, strengthening our universal health care system by killing of more with new and better clot shots, and accelerating climate action scams while putting more worthless money back in people’s pockets, in which we already have our grasping hands anyway.

    “Together, we will build a more miserable province and a dystopian future for Manitobans and all Canadians…”

  20. The invitation to Manitoba to join the New Republic of Greater Alberta has been withdrawn.

    2. Assuming they don’t go bankrupt, their Hydro Power is worth making part of a Western Power Grid.

  21. Thankfully, if forced to go that route, you can blast through that lame province in about 4 1/2 hours. With a good bladder and a full tank of fuel, you don’t even need to stop.

    1. We filled up on Winnipeg west side, drove to Thunder Bay, filled at Ft William resrve for less.

  22. Spent most of my life here. Bought a house in Fort Garry in ’95. Our kids went to great schools in the neighborhood, every thing we need is within a 5 minute drive.

    Sold the house on Monday.

    We’re out of here….
