PC majority in Manitoba

[samhill]

Congratulations to Brian Pallister and the PC's.
Tremendous presentation from Mr.Pallister on the win.

The Manitoba NDP under Selinger I think went a little too far in taxing and spending and payed the price. Glad to see the Tory win, Congradulations!

A couple of thoughts in Alberta Perfecho. First the NDP was going to balance the books in 2 years, then 3, then 4 and now maybe 2024, I predict they never will be able to if given the chance. Also interesting to note that Calgary has had to raise its municipal tax increase in the coming year from 3.5% to 6.1% due to a steep increase in the education portion of the tax set by the provincial government. Also seems inconceivable to me that the NDP expect Albertans to believe we will change our consumption patterns when 60% of payers of the carbon tax will have it rebated back based on income. All socialists do is tax tax tax and spend spend spend end of rant. Have a good day:-)

I get what you are saying Hamloc..tend to agree, but I am still pissed that we are even in this spot. Too many corporate giveaways, tax concessions, not collecting tax, etc..etc. Basically its been a socialist government previously, but for the oil companies.
the previous Klein deficit killer, has actually put us in this spot...infra structure costs at triple the cost....due to competing with a vibrant oilfield economy. I believe, when economy is good, slow down infrastructure, put money away and keep people working when economy slows down..IMHO.
So, although I am not in total agreement with them, think they are the best poison for now...and see how things play out. Maybe one more term, maybe not...but certainly no more!
I am thankful the Wild didn't get in...think we would really be in trouble....

[perfecho]

And think the Troy win in Manitoba is likely a good thing, although admit to not know much about their situation.....

Maybe all the shiesters will move to manitoba from Alberta and saskatchewan.

Although the voters in saskatchewan gave them a stay with Wall to stick around and thieve for a while.

One thing I am pretty sure of. There will be a lot of changes in Manitoba. Think Pallister will take out the big broom?

Manitoba got it right, ndp too long in power and out of touch and too many buddies.
Its a much more difficult province to manage than sask or alberta. Geography is not as kind to Manitoba. As well as large native population, lots to deal with.
But should see the boom coming shortly.
Good for you Manitoba!!!

Congratulations to all Manitobans who voter to set your province on a new path. The NDP left you with a formidable debt to repay, but hopefully, Pallister will be responsible and guide the province to live within your means.

I shall celebrate by transplanting tomatoes this afternoon. Nice for me to read through the threads today. You're such good people. Makers me feel good.

Parsley. Xo
