And I'll be completely honest: in this area for sure, they used to run much more spirited campaigns, at all 3 levels of government The last decade of so, we get mostly 'token candidates' running against the incumbents. They throw up some signs and post on facebook and twitter

Yes, those are fair comments. They do both have some genuinely good people, but also some warts Squires and Clarke, for example, I would consider solid people. Both showed they were not afraid to oppose Pallister - which you rarely see these days At the end of the day, it is what it is. I don't think we want either party in power for too long

I didn't want to quote your entire post, but as far just their credentials are concerned, there are not that many differences PC caucus Nursing: 1 Career Politician: 1 Doctor/Vet: 1 Military: 1 Teacher: 3 Business/Marketing: 1 Healthcare Administration: 1 Agriculture/Environment: 5 Social Services: 1 Community Advocate: 4 Small Business owner/Municipal politics: 8 Financial services: 4 Technology Development: 1 School Trustees: 2 Education Administration: 1 Journalism: 1 A Metis MLA, the First ever black MLA, etc. https://pcmanitoba.com/our-team/

I actually don't disagree. Both parties are a long way from the MLAs Doer, Selinger and even Filmon - had in the house People like Bjornson, Wight, Caldwell - I don't see that talent in the current legislature - with very few exceptions And the problem exists in all 3 parties

If I have time, I might. Nahanni Fontaine in the legislature comes to mind. Calling others out while saying some pretty despicable stuff, herself

Wab has MLAs who will hurt the party if he gives them cabinet positions If he doesn't put them on the back bench, the NDP won't last long, especially if they have a minority

Shall we mention some of the founding people on the left? Tommy Douglas: eugenics Mackenzie King: anti-semitism And I liked Chretien/Martin as a Liberal Prime Ministers - but they had as much cronyism going on, as any other leader If you go looking for warts...you will always find them

He probably wanted Dickenson to cut Dan Clarke.

There are and have been plenty of people on the left, with unacceptable beliefs. And extremists attach themselves to pretty much every protest.

Yeah, that crap happens on both sides of the spectrum One example would be the way the provincial NDP acted towards and spoke about, Cindy Lamoureux

The equivalency of Captain Crunch cereal.

Not everything requires context. Those actions are simply inexcusable.

Taking that logic a little further...the NDP can do the same with Wab Kinew Keep in mind...they elected him when the PCs were in very little danger of losing an election

Allen in Toronto was sort of like Manning with the Broncos They had an outstanding D (O'Shea, Younger, Steinauer et. al.) and they were good in the trenches He managed games for them and ended up with a GC I think KG could have filled that role If he plays a few more seasons at his current level, you have to add Collaros to the conversation

I always found that he was good at throwing to possession type receivers, getting rid of the ball quickly and making very few turnovers Both Matthews and Trestman knew this, and set up the O to emphasize his strengths. Kevin Glenn has entered the chat.

Ummmm Dyck...third place finish after BC lost their starting QB...

Perhaps going cheaper at the lower rung positions...

Helle covers up a lot of sloppiness, most nights.

That's the thing, it wasn't even an argument, I wasn't even having a conversation with them They just approached me, told me, and left

It's honestly becoming borderline offensive at times. I've been told that I'll be dead in 5 years, because I've had 3 covid shots And the person sincerely believed it was okay and not offensive to tell me this Honestly, it is such a bloody mess

If I worked for Rebel Media - I'd argue that people are only paying 2 cents more for their gas And viewers would believe me

And Kinew is conspiring with Singh... Actually, if they're smart they won't mention this. With the NDP propping up Trudeau's Liberals, it could be a good time to have a provincial NDP government

It's also time to start asking for candy canes...

I heard it from people who sit at the table with government, on a fairly regular basis. It is all but certain to be in April/May

Thought so too, but he's only listed as QB coach on their website
