The theme for this second week of Advent (Christmas) is peace. Once again just like the first theme of hope, if we expect to always be filled with this sentiment and nothing else, we are sure to be let down.
This past Saturday I was at the Manitoba Legislature doing some weekend work. That itself isn’t unusual, but things around the building itself looked quite different from an average weekend.
During the COVID pandemic, Canadians have often been told this: Our public health care system is being overwhelmed.
Great news! Your chance to help start the first Community Bike Repair shop in Southeast Manitoba has arrived!
The four weekly themes of Advent (Christmas) are hope, peace, joy, and love. If we expect to always be filled with those four sentiments and nothing else, we are sure to be let down.
I want to begin, this week, by expressing my thoughts and prayers for the families and communities facing the horrific floods in British Columbia. Canadians are united behind you, and Conservatives will be there to work with the government to help provide emergency support and recovery efforts.
The past few months have allowed for a number of events to occur that had to be cancelled last year due to the pandemic. The ability for Manitobans to get together in person for these events has made sometimes routine events feel extra special.
An item on last week’s national news was “the cost of living is going up.” It sounded alarming, but should it be? How should we respond to such news? How should our government respond? Broadly speaking, there are two possible government responses, one appropriate, one inappropriate.
With all these waves of a pandemic, isn’t it nice to have some anchors in the boat? Recently, I heard someone refer to museums such as the Mennonite Heritage Village (MHV) as an anchor institution.
Next week the first sitting of the 44th Parliament begins. My Conservative colleagues and I are eager to get back to work, holding the Liberal Government to account.
