For anyone else that doesn't follow Manitoban politics, the Cons have been in power since 2016 (before that, NDP).

As mentioned, I don't know much about the parties in Manitoba, but as a general fan of the NDP's platforms, this sounds like good news to me.

Well, there is the Keystone Party which is Manitoba only. Their platform when they started during the pandemic was against medical mandates, lock-downs, and Human rights Tribunals.

It would be funny if they didn't get like 5% of the vote in some areas.
well, they were at about 5% when I stopped watching the live votes. The number could've changed afterwards.

This year they ran on:

  • Carbon taxes are bad
  • sex ed is bad
  • Reduce PST
  • Privatizing healthcare is good
  • Abattoir regulations
  • Trying to turn MB into a tourist economy, but also tax cuts for farms because the backbone of the economy, but also focus on being a factory-based economy, but also focus on independent trades. (It's almost as if they are casting a wide net)
  • Adding jails and crown attorneys to speed up the court system (but not legal aid or defense attorneys, so it won't actually make anything faster, because you need 2 to tango)

88 to 99 conservatives, 99 to 16 NDP, 16 to 23 conservatives, since 58 the conservatives have won more elections (10 vs 8) and have spent more time in power (37 years vs 30 years using rough numbers)
