    Is that a butcher shop? Or just one of my second cousins' garage?

    Speaking of house-made sausage, Miller's Meats makes some darn good farmer sausage. I may have to turn in my Mennonite card for saying this, but I think it's better than the Pioneer stuff from Altona.

    But, if we beat Calgary the next two weeks, we then get to host them for the WSF instead of traveling out there...

    Don't bring platforms into this discussion! This thread is about whose leader is less likable and which party is more woke!

    I have it on good authority that the conservatives just clone their leaders from a strand of Robert Borden's pubic hair.

    I'm talking about which of two similarly qualified candidates would make a party more electable, and political parties are in the business of being elected. 
    Also, the qualifications for who is 'best' suited to lead a province or country are a little broader and more ambiguous than determining who the 'best' doctor to do your prostate exam is...

    I'm guessing Kewatinook and Thompson back to the NDP, plus four Winnipeg seats. PCs lose four, Libs lose two. Upset: Greens take Wolseley!
    PC - 36, NDP - 19, Lib - 2, Green - 1.

    I dunno, if the PCs select a well-spoken female leader and out-flank the NDP somewhat on the 'progressiveness' front, and they don't go into full privatization mode and sell off a bunch of crowns in the next four years, it would take a lot of wind out of the NDP's sails. I've been quite impressed in conversations with my MLA, Rochelle Squires.
    If they make Cameron Friesen or Kelvin Goertzen, etc. their next leader, the NDP would be licking their lips come 2023...

    Love this idea. If taxes are paying for your healthcare, then there should be extra taxes on the things that you voluntarily consume that lead to you requiring more healthcare.

    Wab Kinew promises to offer two hours of free parking at all hospitals, which sounds alright in theory, but he admits he hasn't actually figured out how that will work, since parking lots are run by non-profit hospital foundations.
    He then commended someone for vandalizing a city parking meter, and gave a wink-and-nod statement saying people would essentially figure out how to stretch those two free hours into free all-day parking.

    This sounds about as well thought out as some of Hugh McFayden's desperate gems back in 2011.

    They'd expect to sell 25,000 seats via walk-up? If they aren't in manic mode yet, they're delusional. They will need to cut the remaining tickets by at least 50-70% to even come close to getting a respectable crowd.

    You guys gotta remember that Brandon was one of the most vocal opponents around here last fall when it came to opening Portage and Main to pedestrians because he didn't want to spend an extra couple of minutes per day on his commute, so of course driving an extra ten or fifteen minutes to the south end is gonna grind his gears. 😉 😁
