A friend of a friend had a C-Section done in a Winnipeg hospital and was discharged in under 24 hours because she was told there wasn't enough room or staff to continue care.

Randalor posted:So what happens to the people shipped out of province once they've recovered anyways? Who foots the bill for them to come back, considering they probably didn't go voluntarily? The province is paying to airlift them there and back and presumably footing the bill for their care. No one seems to know how the gently caress they are going to bring back the two people that died in Ontario though so the families can make funeral arrangements.

Willatron posted:Not exactly true. In 2014 the MB NDP caucus attempted to remove Greg Selinger from his seat as premiere because they felt he was tanking the party's position of power (he had to raise PST in order to repair damages and upgrade infrastructure following disastrously unprecedented flooding of the Interlake region in 2011, previous to that all our floodway infrastructure was more focused around lake Winnipeg and the Red River as that's where the flooding typically happened). The PST increase is always thrown out as the reason for the NDPs decline in popularity in Manitoba but the party was already declining in popularity due to the PCs baseless attacks on major infrastructure projects like BiPole III and the Keeyask dam and the state of Hydros finances. The PST was kind of a final nail in the coffin type of thing that was generally unpopular because Selinger had promised not to raise the PST during the 2011 campaign only 2 months earlier. The other issue the NDP faced was rot within the party, they were a combination of career back benchers and career climbers that were only interested in popularity so they could stay employed. In general the NDP began to completely fall apart when the economy started slipping and they couldn't effectively get the message out why deficit spending is good and why we needed big infrastructure now. As for the leadership election, the rumour has always been that Steve Ashton only ran to draw votes from Oswald and there was some sort of closed back door meeting with some union delegates to ensure Ashtons delegates moved to Selinger on the second ballot. This was pretty well reported and further eroded trust in Selinger.

Willatron posted:Thanks for the primer! God, it's so lovely how that all played out. The current MB NDP doesn't seem at all like the same party Selinger was leading but they get to carry all the baggage his administration created anyway, plus Wab's history to boot. I don't particularly hold any of it against them but I know a lot of people do. I'm still bearish on Wab, his history is a thing but you can only drag that up so many times before the public stops giving a poo poo in general. His heart seems to be in the right place in general lately especially during the pandemic, the NDPs core message should be universal care and compassion for all and the resistance to privatization the PCs are currently pushing so hard. The 2023 election is going to come down to whether or not the NDP can counter the PCs PR campaigns and keep how loving dire the pandemic was for Manitoba under the PCs. InfiniteZero posted:I'm sure Pallister is deeply concerned considering he never wanted to still be Premier at this point anyway and whoever follows him will still take care of him and retain the vote of the rural dumbfucks of Manitoba as well. He's just a fall guy for whoever takes over from him at this point and it couldn't be more transparent. The vitriol against him specifically is GREAT for the MB PCs and working entirely as intended. Counterpoint I feel the PCs currently strategy is the what Bannon and Trump did in the States which is to do so much stupid poo poo at once that the public in general can't keep up, it's full on accelerationism from this point out to try and irreversibly change and reshape the province to fit what the PCs want until 2023. It's just constant omnibus bills and press conferences, it's enough to make your head spin.

infernal machines posted:The tweet says one has been privatized, but the article says there are RFPs out for the three parks, so it's still in the proposal stage. There is an official opposition in Manitoba isn't there? You'd expect someone to have made mention of selling off provincial lands before it passed legislature. Three RFPs were put out and one has been finalized, St. Ambroise Beach is now Surfside Park and the entrance fee has doubled. The opposition does not need to approve the sale of parks.

As far as I know there’s no “new” bodies found here but rather people are trying to recognize the fact that 20 years ago the city sold the old residential school land to some rear end in a top hat that paved over everything with a RV park and conveniently everyone forgot about the part of deal where they said they would look for bodies before turning up the land and the plague marking the school was removed. Brandon University and Sioux Valley First Nation were working together to get the land back and figure out where the school and the graves are but I don’t see any new information being reported on right now.

Coxswain Balls posted:Thanks to the population of Morden and Winkler being dumbfucks, they've opened up their vaccine supersite to walk-ins for second Moderna doses if it's been 28 days since your first shot. I'm guessing nobody local is going in and they want to get their supply used up. I'm gonna head over there in the next day or two since it sounds like they'll be accepting walk-ins all week. I'm pretty sure Manitoba's bible belt is the exact reason why the "Manitoba Summer of Re-opening" plan is set at 80% first dose for the final step even though we are at 71% already.

InfiniteZero posted:Yeah Wow that's really interesting if only the next election weren't two years away and voters only give a poo poo about what happened within the last month or maybe if you're extra lucky the past two months. Also surely everybody won't be trying to forget about 2020 and 2021 as hard as possible anyway and Pallister, the only PC that I'd wager 90% of those polled could actually mention by name, definitely won't be around in that election anyway. Only 14% of women in Winnipeg and 21% of women province-wide said they would vote PC, you understand how abysmal that is right? The only way they could fix their numbers at this point is if Pallister retired, they found a woman that actually would lead the party, torpedoed Goertzen, Friesen and Cullen, killed bill 64, admitted they hosed up the pandemic and health care and then fixed it. loving with healthcare, education and childcare back-to-back-to-back is a literal knife to the throat.

Gary Filmon got 11 years as Premier and 9 years of majority governments before Manitoba voted him out. The current iteration of the PC party is looking at 7 years total and that's really because the pandemic really exposed how badly they hosed up healthcare in this province.

Now to wait the 2 weeks, get my card and i'm a-ok! I think you are in the clear, my second dose of Pfizer had me passed out on the floor about six hours after getting jabbed.

nine-gear crow posted:Trudeau sees this as his one shot to get his majority back so of course he's going to take it because O'Toole is melting before our eyes and is somehow an even worse Conservative leader than Andrew Scheer was. At this point it's only a question of who's gonna eat more of O'Toole's lunch, Trudeau or Singh. There was an interesting discussion on CanPol twitter the other day about how Scheer actually might have not been that bad. Everyone was focused on the fact that they didn't "win" but reducing the Liberals to minority status after a single majority term while winning the popular vote was a pretty good accomplishment. Harper got 3 cracks to win his majority and Scheer got turfed after 1. Not that I'm complaining, the Conservatives can suck it, but it's interesting to look at it from a different angle.

MakaVillian posted:Given the number and severity of Liberal "scandals" before and during the campaign, I think a minority Liberal government was a huge loss that you can pin almost entirely on Scheer. I think one of the problems is that they tried to throw so much poo poo at Trudeau and most of it was either incredibly complex and hard to fit into an easy catchphrase(SNC-Lavalin) or exposed the Conservatives own hypocrisies(blackface and cancel culture). The other thing is most Liberals were happy with Trudeau in general, if you want a scandal to stick you need people upset at the Liberals already and then the scandal is the thing that puts them over the edge. nine-gear crow posted:The irony is this is all Harper’s fault, purging the party of all potential rivals and successors over his term in office left them with a bench full of rudderless goobers with no leadership acumen. I think this is the problem in general with the Conservatives is top-down the entire party is just so loving stupid. The platform they came up with was moronic and Alberta-centric that it just didn't win anyone over but the province that was already giving them 98% of their seats. They keep just trying to import everything the Republicans do without any of the actual money and evil genius to back it up. I just think the argument in general that turfing a leader that just won the popular vote was a bad idea, especially looking where the party is now.
