Cut business taxes is the easy button, and never produces the investment it promises. Just look at the Harper years, there is little correlation between the cuts to business tax rate and investment. Same when the Harper gov increased it to the current 26.5%, we didn't see any major change in investment. Changing a tax rate alone is not a solution. It's just something simple that everyone understands.

They didn't manage to add many to Freeland's ballot, but PP draws the eye in a different way, don't he?Protest group hoping to add 200+ names to Pierre Poilievre’s Alberta byelection ballot
A protest group that signed up dozens of candidates to run in Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s riding in the past federal election is planning to bring their campaign to an upcoming Alberta byelection.
They have ambition.
If he loses the by-election, I suspect we will - unless someone else wants to fall on their sword
Some good will there. Let’s hope the other provinces follow suit
MB is well situated for the next century in terms of resources. There are deposits of 30 of the 34 recognized critical minerals and the Northern First Nations are looking like they want to play ball on resource development. What I want to see from the province is a recognition of the mistakes of resource booms past in Canada and not just be a raw exporter, but require a certain amount need to be refined and value-added here. Hopefully the new free trade zone in Winnipeg can help with that.
Wab Kinew continues to impress. I look forward to seeing him in federal politics in due course.
I would also hope they take advantage of the boom and try to create a MB version of a wealth fund to position the province for long term success too. Especially when dealing with non-renewable resources like minerals or oil.
Agreed.
It's been several decades since I drove that portion of MB so looked quick on Google. Looks like a small area of ~ 10 miles on the far east side of the province outstanding....also where the Canadian Sheild appears to start.
The Canadian Shield begins a few dozen km to the West from there. As an aside, absolutely gorgeous country in this area, I recommend visiting if you're ever in the area. The ruins of oldest mountains on Earth, beautiful forests and some of the best fishing around.
I’m also quite impressed with Kinew…despite him being in the NDP.
I didn't vote for his party but I have been very impressed so far. Manitobans tend to be pragmatic, 80% of us lean a couple inches left or a couple inches right. I can appreciate he's governing from the centre and seems to be putting economics first.
So am I - imagine, an NDP'er saying that Canada needs to spend more on the CAF! Unheard of!
He made good on his promise to search the Prairie Gren landfil in seach of those two missing girls.
Point being?
Point being he didn't break his promise? It's a good thing.
