Rich get richer as NDP policy shifts leave opponents in dust

Last week, Finance Minister Adrien Sala made two announcements that showed why the NDP will remain the party to beat in the next provincial election.

Mayor Gillingham poised for repeat

Incumbent mayoral candidate Scott Gillingham remains in the lead among decided voters in a new poll that suggests a majority of Winnipeggers want change ahead of Wednesday’s election.

Gillingham was backed by 36 per cent of decided voters in an Abacus Data survey released Friday, followed by candidates Kevin Klein (19 per cent) and Mike Vogiatzakis and a surging Noah Redden, who were tied for third (both at 14 per cent).

While a majority of respondents expressed a desire for a new mayor, Curtis Brown, a vice-president with Abacus, said “none of the other candidates has convincingly made the case that they represent the best change.”

“In the absence of that, Scott Gillingham definitely has the advantage. He looks likely to be able to win,” Brown said.

Kinew gives election-style speech to party faithful in Brandon

BRANDON — Premier Wab Kinew revved up into election mode as he highlighted the strengths and momentum of his party’s candidates while touching on a variety of other topics during the NDP’s gala in Brandon Thursday.

Kinew started his election-style speech by revisiting the close result the party received in Spruce Woods in last year’s byelection, when candidate Ray Berthelette came within 70 votes of Progressive Conservative Colleen Robbins in an area that historically garners strong PC support.

“Seventy votes — pretty darn close. You’re the man, Ray,” Kinew said during his 21-minute speech at the Keystone Centre in front of a crowd of about 300 politicians, business leaders and community members.

“And thanks for opening up people’s minds to show them what’s possible in southwestern Manitoba,” Kinew said.

Krahn returns, Boyko primed to lead as University of Manitoba Bisons serves squad depleted of vets

Rowan Krahn has been told most of his career that he couldn’t do it. And recently, injuries wouldn’t let him.

For the first time in two years, Krahn gets to prove he can.

The Manitoba Bisons’ fifth-year outside hitter is undersized for his position.

It’s always been that way. Since he was a teen, talent evaluators have recommended that he play libero, a conventional position for a shorter player. That advice has largely fallen on deaf ears.
