Now we know who the Tories are scared of!

When counting sheep and a warm glass of milk wouldn't put me to sleep last night I decided to see what a YouTube search of our favorite minister would bring up.

Surprise surprise... the first two results were Tory attack ads.

I went to check their YouTube channel, and it appears they're just as smitten with Theresa as we are! When 2/3 Tory ads made since the summer are attacks on Minister Oswald, we know who theyre scared of.

We'll hold tight, and wait for those attack ads on Steve Ashton (who many readers here seem to think they're scared of). But until then, it's pretty obvious that they agree Theresa's the one.

We said it before and we'll say it again... we hate to say I Told You So!!!

Province seeking input into the health needs of women

Province seeking input into the health needs of women

This is a great idea... but... isn't the best way to ensure women's health needs are brought forward to politicians is to have more women in the Legislature? The old saying is true: a woman's place is in the house... and the Senate!

But until we achieve 50% women in the Legislature these meetings are a great start!

Comments on the Mary Agnes story

Happy New Year everyone! After a great trip to the slopes of Fernie we're ready to dive into what could be the most exciting year for our party in many years.

 

We read this story and have a few observations.

 

FIRST of all, with the drama unfolding in Lord Roberts, Fort Garry and St. Norbert, how is it we lose a seat when we go from three ridings to three ridings? We have three strong female members here and they will each have a natural riding to run in. We do not agree with Mary Agnes Welch that Diane McGifford will be forced to retire. As champions of more women in the legislature, we fully expect and hope she will be a candidate in Fort Garry-Riverview next time around.

 

SECOND, we have to completely agree with Mary Agnes Welch that a suburban/south Winnipeg strategy is needed to win. She says "if the opposition is to form even a minority government in 2011, the Tories need to essentially sweep the city's suburbs."

 

We agree, and we also know who WON'T let that happen. If we are to go into the next election with a new leader, we can't afford to mess with a successful formula.

 

Because folks, let's get real, does anyone think that he, he, or she can win south Winnipeg or Winnipeg's suburbs? Some say that Theresa is not a progressive choice, but look at the risk we take by abandoning our winning formula. If you don't think Theresa's progressive enough, how would you feel about Premier McFayden?
