"Adding up the cost of tax cuts since 2016 reveals that the Manitoba government has eliminated $1.6 billion in annual receipts to the provincial treasury... There is no great mystery as to why provincial services are in such a threadbare state." #mbpoli

“The vast majority of those dollars should have been spent here in Manitoba to increase capacity. It was not a system that was actually designed to be a failsafe, but rather to expand private healthcare” MHC’s Thomas Linner on the PC’s Task Force #mbpoli

The previous PC government spent millions sending patients out of province for treatment and some experts say the money would have been better spent investing in Manitoba's healthcare system.

The @ccpa is saddened to learn of the passing of Ed Broadbent. He committed his life to the advancement of human rights and watched Canada move from a "sharing and caring" society to the "new barbarism." He shared some of his views with us here:

Health Canada ignored critical warnings about a rapid-test supplier before approving its COVID-19 kits for distribution nationwide, Global News has found.

💯! Private health care far too often = poorer health outcomes for patients. Paired with a complete lack of transparency & accountability to the public, privatization would spell disaster. We need to provide the best possible care, which means investing in our PUBLIC system.

You may be reading that privatization is the only hope for healthcare. The latest data should give you some pause. A new Harvard study showed that after a hospital is acquired by private equity, patients had a 25 percent increase in complications such as falls or new infections

A very brisk start to our Monday in #MB. Artic air pushes northern communities into the -30's this morning and #SouthernManitoba hovers near seasonal. 2-4cm of snow expected in #WPG as we can expect cooler temperatures for most of the week. #Forecast #MBStorm
