And they then went on and created one of the worst hydro expansion plans imaginable and stuck us all with billions of debt. All so we could create bloated bureaucracies employing some of the highest paid public servants on the planet, while our infrastructure literally crumbles around us.

I know. Just pointing out the most recent government did the exact same.

It's always doom and gloom for Hydro. But now, we can't even support industries that want to come here because we don't have enough capacity in the system.

Debt is subjective (?). First bought my house 15 years ago. My mortgage was super expensive. Now my mortgage is dirt cheap because it's based on economic conditions 15 years ago. Same goes for Hydro.

More to file under politicians doing some politicing, NDP found $123M in savings. No plans to apply it to the enormously large unexpected deficit the found last week.

It should used to attract business. Manitoba desperately needs more industry, grow the tax base, debt to GDP goes down. We should be doing everything in our power to scalp as much industry as possible and leverage our geographic centrality. Maybe try to spread some out of Winnipeg to the other cities/large towns.

i think the province wants to focus on building up FN wealth and economic developement around them as that has huge potential

The Government will do what is best for Manitoba. We can't reasonably expect to build up First Nations wealth, without improving their quality of life. That would mean community centres, educational programs, and social support toward areas with a disproportionate number of Indigenous people.

So what exactly was Jeff Whartons play in pushing to get the silica sand mine approved, you don't do things like this unless there is a certain personal financial gain!

A weasel all around!

Not the first time. Won't be the last.

I must admit I am pleasantly surprised by Wab Kinew in his first 100 days running the province. I admit to being too hard on him, and holding him up to his past.

He has made a believer out of me.

Seems like a pretty low threshold you had there.

The sky certainly hasn't fallen and I've liked a couple policies so far. This is a textbook example of governing from the center is the best form of governance in Canada.

I don't use Cannabis very often. Indulged a bit more when I was a teenager. However something I always wanted to do was grow my own weed plant. Looks like I may finally be able to do so legally .

Manitoba could lift ban on growing cannabis at home...

The Manitoba government is expected to table legislation as early as the week of April 22 that could lift the province’s ban on residents growing cannabis at home.

The province originally banned growing cannabis at home in 2018. While Canada’s federal regulations allow people to grow up to four plants per household, courts in Canada have upheld the right of provinces to “limit to zero” the number of plants someone grows at home, which works as an effective ban on the activity.

That's great news for people who hate insects. Mosquitoes hate hemp plants, and especially hate marijuana smoke.

Is that right? Didn't know that. Another plus to growing plants.
