Stronger rent control to make life more affordable! 🌇 We’re cracking down on unfair rent hikes with the largest expansion of rent control in decades, cutting above-guideline rent increases by 40%. Less stress. More money in your pocket. Making life more affordable for renters in Manitoba. 🦬

The deadly incident at the Canadian Forces Base in Wainwright is a terrible tragedy. My heart goes out to the families who have lost loved ones, those who were injured and everyone affected. We know there are families waiting for news about their loved ones, and our thoughts are with them too. I have been in touch with Premier Smith and federal Defence Minister McGuinty to offer assistance and our sympathies. Manitoba stands ready to help in any way we can. I also want to thank the first responders and everyone who stepped up to help during such a difficult time. We will also lower flags to half-mast to honour the lives lost.

There is no place for anti-Sikh hate or discrimination in Manitoba. Proud of MLA Diljeet Brar for bringing together a resolution unanimously passed by the Manitoba Legislature to stand with Sikh Manitobans. We are #OneManitoba and we will always stand together against hate.

🦬 Manitoba, always on Team Canada. 🇨🇦 Great to welcome Canada’s Ambassador to the United Sates, @MarkDWiseman , to the Manitoba Legislature today. We’re strengthening relationships with business, Indigenous and political leaders, standing up for workers here at home and navigating trade uncertainly collaboratively. That’s how Team Canada protects jobs, grows our economy and building strong trade relationships.

Today marks three years since the terror attacks by Hamas against the people of Israel that killed over 1200, injured thousands and led to hundreds being taken hostage. We remember the innocent victims whose lives were taken, the families who endured unimaginable suffering, and offer our condolences to the survivors.   Since that time we have seen a significant rise in antisemitism around the world and sadly here at Manitoba. As a government we are committed to standing with the Jewish community in Manitoba and commit to fighting this type of hatred wherever it rears its head. We must defend the human rights of all peoples everywhere and our Government has taken strong action over our time in office, supporting law enforcement, education, and community infrastructure while strongly condemning acts of hate.   We must also recognize the terrible devastation and suffering of Palestinians over the past three years in Gaza and the West Bank. Our Government has called for peace and security for all Israelis and Palestinians during that time and we will recommit to support those efforts today.

100 new community care spaces means the right care sooner, while opening up hospital beds for those who need them. That’s how we’re fixing health care, is by working together.

Félicitations au nouveau premier ministre du Québec, Paul St-Pierre Plamondon, pour sa victoire hier soir. J’ai toujours hâte de travailler et collaborer avec les autres premiers ministres pour améliorer le Manitoba, le Québec et le Canada. Le Manitoba et le Québec ont une longue histoire de coopération et de partenariat que j’espère prolonger, et je souligne mon fort appui pour la vitalité de la langue française ici au Manitoba, au Québec et partout au Canada. Je tiens à remercier Madame Fréchette aussi pour son travail pour le Québec.

🦬 🗳️ 3 years ago tonight Manitobans made history across Canada. A heartfelt miigwech, merci and thank you for electing our team. The things we’ve done together as #OneManitoba have made us the envy of the rest of the country. We represent what being a Canadian is all about. A lot done. A lot to do. We’ll keep working hard for you as the next election happens in a year from now… or less. 😉

🧡 Honouring Residential School Survivors, the parents left behind and those who never came home. Remembering our history, including the dark moments, is the patriotic thing to do and displays our resilience as a nation. It will make our children stronger. 🇨🇦 Brandon Orange Shirt Day 2026 with Sioux Valley Dakota Nation. #EveryChildMatters

Here are the graves. This Orange Shirt Day we are returning the Brandon Indian Residential School cemetery grounds to the Sioux Valley Dakota Nation on behalf of many First Nations whose children are buried here. This is one of the most well documented burial grounds at a residential school in Canada with not only church and historical records but also contemporaneous newspaper articles describing what happened to these children. You can not deny history. #orangeshirtday #everychildmatters #truthandreconciliation #trc #herearethegraves

Welcome Jennifer Flett, newly elected MLA from The Pas - Kameesak, who took her seat in the legislature for the first time on this the day before our nation honours the survivors of residential schools, the parents left behind, and the children who never came home. She is a symbol of the resilience and the comeback of Indigenous nations across Turtle Island.
