COLUMN: View from the Legislature - Uncertainty surrounds fall session (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The transition from summer to fall in Manitoba brings with it a number of familiar routines. Vacations, summer festivals and time at the lake start to be in the rear-view mirror and the focus shifts to families adjusting to school and regular work schedules. The gradual change in temperature and the changing of the colours on the trees isn’t always welcome by many, but there is something comforting about the predictability that Manitoba’s four distinct seasons bring. In Canadian politics, that p
COLUMN: View from the Legislature - Nostalgia is not a plan (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For many years I had the honour of serving as the Canadian co-chair of the Midwest Canada-U.S. Relations Committee.

While some of the persistently high inflation can be attributed to hig

Read excerpt
On Aug. 11, Manitoba’s NDP government opened the province’s first taxpayer funded drug consumption site for the supervision of the use of illegal drugs. The opening followed almost three years of controversy and multiple proposed or considered locations. A previously selected location was ultimately abandoned because of protests that it was too close to a school and to a daycare. Hundreds of people came out to community organized forums to protest the location before it was eventually determined
