Wab Kinew

Dad. Premier of Manitoba.

[Wab Kinew @WabKinew]

Today, we were sworn in as your new Manitoba Government.

As your new government, we will put you first and make this a province you are proud of. I will be a leader for all of us in Manitoba.

Miigwech, merci, and thank you for putting your trust in us.

On a day when we honour those who have served, the loss of a pilot following a Remembrance Day ceremony is especially heartbreaking. My thoughts are with the pilot’s loved ones and the Saint-Georges community. On behalf of Manitobans, I offer our deepest condolences.

[Wab Kinew @WabKinew]

Le jour même où nous rendons hommage à ceux et celles qui ont servi, la perte d’un pilote après une cérémonie du jour du Souvenir, est particulièrement déchirante. Mes pensées vont aux proches du pilote ainsi que toute la communauté de Saint-Georges, Québec. Au nom des Manitobaines et Manitobains j’offre nos plus sincères condoléances.

[Wab Kinew @WabKinew]

We will remember them.

Our veterans paid the price of admission for the freedoms and democracy we have today.

Their sacrifice gave us a voice to shape our collector future as Canadians.

Lest we forget.
Nous nous souviendrons.

Today we broke ground on the new $142 million Dauphin Centre for Justice, replacing the jail closed by the previous government and bringing good-paying jobs back to the Parkland.

The first of its kind in Manitoba, this centre represents a NEW approach to corrections. One that keeps communities safe, helps people turn their lives around and gives them the supports to build a better future.

Good jobs.
Safer communities.
A stronger Manitoba.

Today and always we remember.

Indigenous veterans answered the call to fight for freedoms they themselves were denied here at home.

That is bravery.
That is sacrifice.
That is worthy of honour.

Ending homelessness in Manitoba by 2031.

Today marks a turning point.

Prime Minister Mark Carney and his federal government are making a generational investment of over $1 billion to build more than 2000 homes and a new Centre for Mental Health and Addictions.

Your province is investing $84 million annually to help people get off the streets and stay housed.

Working together with Indigenous governments, Mayors, and frontline partnerner, we’re building safer streets and stronger communities with compassion.

Because there is no greater nation building project than building up the people of this country.

O Canada, our home. 🇨🇦

Very cool write up on Dauphin’s mountain bike trail Northgate! It’s an amazing destination

Congratulations MN Senator-Elect @peggyflanagan and all the Democrats for absolutely dominating Trump in the midterms!

I look forward to working together to lower costs on both sides of the border by ending the war in Iran (gas & diesel prices) and the Trump tariffs (the price of everything else).

The American people have delivered a resounding rejection of the President’s actions over the past two years. Canadians are ready to rebuild the relationship and strengthen our economies. 🇨🇦

Senator-elect Flanagan, Governor-Elect Haaland, Senator-Elect El-Sayed and many others made history these midterms. Bravo!

[Wab Kinew @WabKinew]

Congrats Democrats on a commanding win in Congress!

Now end the war in Iran to lower everyone’s gas prices…

And stop the Trump tariffs to lower costs across North America.

[Wab Kinew @WabKinew]

Look who I ran into this morning doing victory media laps!

Congratulations to Mayor Scott Gillingham on his re-election.

Looking forward to continuing our work together to build a thriving Winnipeg and a stronger Manitoba. 🦬

In an uncertain time, the best way to have certainty is to make your own destiny.

That is why Canada's first fully First Nations-led business incubator and entrepreneurship centre will help so many capable and smart Indigenous businesses owners.

Building off the work of our ancestors, Wiitahnookiinitaw Tahshkayzing Entrepreneurship Centre, WTEC, will not only help build economies, but build up communities while preserving our unique way of life.

[Wab Kinew @WabKinew]

It’s a good day to be Anishinaabe. It’s a good day to be a Canadian.
🪶 🍁

Miigwech to Prime Minister Carney, National Chief Cindy Woodhouse, Chiefs, Leaders, and all the First Ministers, who listened to the shared wisdom and vision for Canada.

As our National Chief said, this can’t be a one and done. We must continue building relationships, working together and making Canada stronger for everyone.

Abolish the Indian Act. We have nothing to lose but our chains.

We will, of course, need new legislation that is an interface between the Federal government and First Nations. And this MUST be created alongside Chiefs and First Nation governments every step of the way. But it is time to move past the era of this outdated, racist, and patriarchal legislation.

I support Prime Minister Carney’s work to position Canada as a global leader in human rights and democracy. The Indian Act is inconsistent with achieving that vision.

Our laws at home should reflect the values we champion around the world.

It’s time for a relationship with First Nations people that reflects who we are as Canadians today, recognizes nationhood, and lives up to the true nature of reconciliation.

🏒 This is a place where hockey means something.

We have grit and we have heart.

This is what fuels the passion.

Congratulations to Lorne Doerksen on his election as Premier of British Columbia.

I look forward to working together to continue strengthening the relationship between our provinces and building a strong, united Canada.

I would also like to thank David Eby for his leadership, friendship, and partnership over the years.

[Wab Kinew @WabKinew]

More doctors than ever before are calling Manitoba home.

In fact, 137 new recruited doctors are calling our great province home. 🦬

That means better health care with more than 370 new doctors.

Fixing healthcare…together.

[Wab Kinew @WabKinew]

To our troops and military families at CFB Shilo and CFB Wainwright: Manitoba stands with you.

Thank you for your service, your bravery, and your sacrifice for our nation.

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. 🦬
