"Trudeau doubled the rents"
Rent is provincial. Why aren't you calling out Premiers?
"Trudeau has record food bank use"
Social programs are the responsibility of the provinces. Why aren't you calling out Premiers?
"Trudeau has tent cities"
Housing is provincial. Again, Premiers

Let's clear up the most blatantly wrong thing @ABDanielleSmith has claimed so far:
That puberty blockers are irreversible and therefore can permanently alter a youth's body for life
They don't.

Imagine living in a country where a woman can go to jail for an abortion, where they ban books, where children have to take active shooter drills, & someone from that country comes to Canada & tells Canadians they want to liberate you from a Tyrant.
That happened last night

We had parents' rights when our kids were in WSD. Met with teachers regularly, could see principal or VP if there was an issue, could read curricula any time we wanted. It's become code for so many reprehensible things

1 in 8 people in Winnipeg live in poverty. Minimum wage in Manitoba will soon be $15.30, which is still a WHOPPING $3.34/hr below a living wage, or $6947 short a year. Meaning people working full time will still be living in poverty but, hey, no PST at restaurants. - cont #mbpoli

Did you know mining is allowed in many Manitoba provincial parks?
Other provinces are phasing out park mining, but Manitoba is approving (and funding) even more. With the race for critical minerals heating up, parks may be at risk. #mbpoli @WinnipegNews

Today Education Minister Wayne Ewasko accused the NDP and Liberal parties of wanting to keep everything a secret from parents when it comes to schools.
This is insulting to say and this kind of rhetoric is going to make teachers' jobs substantially more difficult going forward.

During this election campaign, we'd like to hear more promises relating to the final report of the poverty and education task force.
The task force made more than 40 recommendations of how we can support the well-being of students experiencing poverty.

The term parental rights is currently being used in the United States and elsewhere to push forward regressive reforms that are often based in transphobia, homophobia and racism. The use of this term by the PCs is deeply concerning and extremely telling.
If re-elected, Manitoba PCs are promising to enhance parental rights regarding what happens in child's classroom.
Parents will have right to be informed about curriculum, receive advance notice before any presentations are made from people outside the school system. #mbpoli

We should be talking about the need for smaller class sizes, more school counselors, safer buildings and infrastructure, nutrition programs and so many other supports for students.
Kelly retweeted
Making a campaign promise that focuses on 'parental rights' distracts from the need for children to have the supports they need in schools.
We must continue to demand a fully funded education system, while rejecting this view that pits parents and schools against each other.
Kelly retweeted
Or more supports for children experiencing poverty.
Or repairs to school buildings and improved ventilation so they are safer.
There’s a lot that could be pledged to actually improve the well-being of students. We’d like to hear more concrete actions that improve well-being.

How are PC candidates for election who are not in government allowed to make announcements on behalf of the government? Unethical. #mbpoli

I’m old enough to remember when Mr Filmon privatized MTS to give us “more choices and lower costs”. How many people think Bell MTS is doing that for Manitobans right now? Bargain with the workers Andrew, give them a fair deal. Or a juicy one like MLA’s got. – at Park (South), Manitoba

As teachers ask for donations to stock their classrooms, which is a symptom of underfunding, we've prepared a different kind of list for the provincial government.
@HStefansonMB, @WabKinew and @DougaldLamont, will you commit to #clearthelist?
ALT A page made to look like an Amazon Wishlist that includes more investment in aging infrastructure and improved ventilation for safer schools, new school buildings that are built through public contracts and with sustainability in mind and better access to bussing and transportation, especially in rural areas.
