This is a stunning piece of investigative journalism from @TuThanhHa@kellygrant1 and @HoserLibrarian about how the much the shift to hiring private nurses is hurting the taxpayer and the health care system. https://t.co/RVvC6t7iAT
It's also worth noting (I make this point regularly) that even as inflation normalizes, price levels remain higher than they otherwise would have been. This makes the affordability challenge top of mind -- and may remain so for years if/until earnings catch up.
The free market does it again: chaos in Alberta's privatized electricity system is now contributing materially to 🇨🇦 inflation (hence higher interest rates, risk of recession, etc.). Meanwhile, prov's with publicly-owned & stably-regulated power (BC, Que, Man) have stable prices.
Liquor worker starting wage - $14.91
MBLL profits - $600M
They can afford fair and reasonable increases for workers

Al Cerilli worked for CN Rail but he became best known as a union leader. He helped organize to end racist labour practices in the transportation sector and later became full-time with the railway union and then regional vice president #RIP@WinnipegNews https://t.co/0nrPYJ4eW6
OE987 stands in solidarity with the @MGEUnion Liquor Mart workers as they walk the picket line throughout Manitoba. "CATCH UP, KEEP UP!" was today's message as workers fight for a fair deal that catches up and keeps up with inflation.

Sweltering school temperatures — some classrooms reached 30 C and above during Manitoba’s latest heat wave — are prompting calls for universal AC and a tipping point for extreme heat closures #mbed#wfp https://t.co/cTTkB5njTz
The horse is out of the barn when it comes to sports gambling. And you can bet what already feels like a slippery, slimy slope is only going to spiral further into the abyss.
Oh, what a tangled web we are weaving.

$10/day childcare for some lucky parents; but many more spaces are needed. Expansion must be tackled, and ECE workforce better supported. In today’s Winnipeg Free Press:
There are 5 out of 15 ambulances in PMH due to the paramedic staffing crisis
@AudreyGordonMB mentioned her commitment to hiring 35 rural paramedics – where are they?
Promises and funding are nothing without implementation and puts Manitobans at risk.

In MB, about 4,000 child abuse investigations are undertaken every year. It is widely believed that many more cases of child abuse go unreported. It is common for children to delay disclosure for months or even years, and some people never disclose abuse experienced in childhood.
Many healthcare professionals have recovered after contracting Covid, but many haven't. Sadly, MNU is hearing reports of WCB ending claims prematurely, as long-Covid is so new and unknown. Minister Gordon may want to sit with long haulers, and ask how they’re holding up.
