"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 https://t.co/IpTQfmz6l0

"An annual event in Brandon called Health Checks, which is a free health and wellness expo for older adults, has been recognized by the United Nations for being innovative, inclusive and a champion for promoting healthy aging."

“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

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: https://t.co/B6rusQKSQ0

Canada’s unions mourn the passing of longtime NDP leader and labour champion, Ed Broadbent.
Ed’s advocacy on behalf of workers and his unwavering support for unions made him a pillar of the Canadian labour movement.

💯! 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.

[Manitoba Health Coalition @MBHealthCoal]

This can be a difficult time for the most vulnerable in our communities. Be sure to be kind to our friends and relatives without permanent housing.
