“[Manitoba] says it hired 1,255 new health staff to work in the public system from last April to the end of December.

They include health-care aides, nurses, midwives and physicians.

Health Minister Uzoma Asagwara says dozens of recently retired nurses have rejoined the workforce.”

Amazing what can happen when you have a premier that’s not looking after their developer friends.

Global News · Manitoba surpasses goal of hiring 1,000 health-care workers, says health ministerBy The Canadian Press

If #WabKinew kicked Wasyliw out because his partner was defending #PeterNygard, it's an outrage. #PeterNygard is scum beyond measure, yes, but EVERYONE deserves a defense. MB MLAs make $106K; yes, that's a lot, but probably less than a full-time trade would earn. How many of the other MLAs are still working?

CBCOusted Manitoba MLA was disrespectful long before removal, says NDP caucus chair | CBC NewsManitoba's NDP caucus chair says an MLA booted from caucus earlier this week had shown a pattern of deceit and disrespect before he was removed.

The only Canadian Premier with over 60% approval is Wab Kinew. Who is also closer to left wing by a fair stretch, out of the 10 of them. He just took a safe seat off the Tories in a byelection, making them whine delightfully. Contrast that with Trudeau's centrist problems. It's almost like left wing stuff is popular or something. Maybe Mr. Singh and Mr. Eby should pay a little attention. #BCpoli #canpoli #trudeau #wabkinew #ndp winnipegfreepress.com/breaking
