@Wally4Leader @auch_susan13643 Can you show us where in the Constitution it allows the Party Leader to override decisions of committees? Or are you also proposing massive new constitutional amendments?

[Mark Stewart @Mark_R_Stewart]

@TGCTS @Wally4Leader I've heard of campaigning to you base, but this might be the first time a candidate has so brazenly pledged to give money back to his supporters. The same folks who bragged about good many tickets they got...

@BraydonMaz @timekeeper1999 @darren_penner The original bill was only amended to be inclusive after a lengthy committee session where Obby and Jeff Bereza forced Sala to acknowledge MB Pork and Snoman had a point. As written purple gas and anything not for highway use was still to be taxed.

[Mark Stewart @Mark_R_Stewart]

@BraydonMaz @timekeeper1999 @darren_penner You mean like in the 70's when federally Churchill, Portage, and Lisgar were simultaneously represented by Progressive Conservatives? Not to mention there are some Liberal history in the ridings that eventually formed the current Portage -Lisgar...

[Mark Stewart @Mark_R_Stewart]

@darren_penner The gas tax was a good chunk of the deficit they used to justify not reducing the payroll tax as the ground was laid for.
Economy is much better served by limiting the taxation of success and growth.
Saving a couple bucks at the pump doesn't go far when a pothole eats a tire.

[Mark Stewart @Mark_R_Stewart]

@dondarlingSJ @premierbhiggs @WabKinew FYI your math is quite off. That MB holiday is $0.14/L and the money is coming directly out of road repair budgets so a single bad pothole eats all the savings for a whole year... #mbpoli

[Mark Stewart @Mark_R_Stewart]

@nathanjdueck Either you're woefully uninformed or intentionally spreading misinformation.

That was a 1 time, Covid recovery grant. dlDoesn't change the fact your minister chose to address groups who had their funding cut by the NDP by reading off lists of successful applicants... #mbpoli

[Mark Stewart @Mark_R_Stewart]

@charlesadler @natnewswatch Which is a fair take. But it's awkward to include Kinew. He said nice things about a member of his own party retiring but launched a similar attack as Pollieve against most PC members that chose not to stand for election last October. It's easy to polite to friends... #mbpoli

[Mark Stewart @Mark_R_Stewart]

@nathanjdueck @NDPRealFacts It was an important subject, the fact that the NDP voted against including provisions calling for humanitarian aid and the surrender of Hamas. Odd stances for a government to take, but I guess they stand firm on that...

[Mark Stewart @Mark_R_Stewart]

@ChrisRWiebe @UAsagwara Why are you actively spreading disinformation? No one is blocking legislation that the party you ran for could bring forward. Could have brought it forward on Wednesday or Thursday and chose not to.

[Mark Stewart @Mark_R_Stewart]

@nathanmwinnipeg @WinnipegNews @mbteachers Bold considering you're looking at punishing whistleblowers...
"MTS executives have not ruled out an investigation to hold whistleblowers accountable for exposing employee concerns about the head office’s “toxic” environment, related departures and capacity to support members."

[Mark Stewart @Mark_R_Stewart]

@gavinmcgarrigle @MBPCcaucus Even if 60% of workers signed a card saying they wanted to leave the union, Unifor would demand a vote. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

[Mark Stewart @Mark_R_Stewart]

@gavinmcgarrigle @MBPCcaucus Unionization is a choice, and choosing not to belong to a union is just as valid. My own experiences in my 20s with MGEU will resonate throughout my professional life. It's not a silver bullet and removing secret ballots is fundamentally anti-democratic.

[Mark Stewart @Mark_R_Stewart]

@sweetaboutmi Classic partisan approach, blaming farmers for food pricing without any knowledge on the subject. They aren't the ones determining market prices and it's pretty sad to think farmers are fleecing Canadians.

[Mark Stewart @Mark_R_Stewart]

Sure if you look at the sanitized, media trained front he is presenting. To get there you have to ignore years of racist, sexist, and homophobic tweets and and rap career. Oh and the cab driver and partner he assaulted said were at the fault. Don't fall for lies.

[Mark Stewart @Mark_R_Stewart]

When is your Order in Council coming out Chris? You've been working hard for Wab and his team over recent years, regurgitating talking points. A lot of folks will hold the government to account, but Manitobans can trust you to hold the Opposition to account I guess... #mbpoli

[Chris Chuckry 🇺🇦 🇨🇦 @chrischuckry]

The Legislature resumed sitting this week and the conservatives sprang forth with renewed vigour and selective memory. However, many Manitobans remember years of PC government austerity and the damage it caused. #mbpoli #politicalcartoon #conservative #mbeducation #wayneewasko

[Mark Stewart @Mark_R_Stewart]

@Palmquist88 @WayneEwaskoMLA @WabKinew Hey Ryan, any comment on the fact that they doesn't look to be much effort at trimming expenses by you and your board members before deciding taxpayers owe you 7.5% more? Wouldn't at all have anything to do with your boards hyper partisan stances eh?

[Mark Stewart @Mark_R_Stewart]

@brent_bellamy @jbrowaty It's a bit of data cherry picking to assume that it is the security measures, and not the highly publicized violent incidents that prompted changes in users.

[Mark Stewart @Mark_R_Stewart]

@jfinch No, anyone that was watching didn't expect Wab Kinew or the NDP to fix anything - a lot of the problems were fundamentally damaged by the NDP, like rural healthcare.

But when they promised action within the first 100 days, and do nothing, it's a valid criticism.

[Mark Stewart @Mark_R_Stewart]

By rebalancing they mean tipping the scale completely in one direction.

Nothing was more enlightening than being completely ignored by @MGEUnion when I was a student working for MB Parks. Union brass and NDP are more connected then those leaders and rank and file.

[Rethinking Labour @RethinkLabour]

New research from @CCPAMB lends support for rebalancing labour relations through card check and anti-scab legislation.
