Hey there, time traveller!

Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger is the second-most popular provincial leader in all of Canada.
That’s the findings of a new Angus Reid survey, released today, which shows that only Saskatchewan’s Brad Wall has more support in his province.
It’s a significant spike for Selinger, who can currently boast that 48 per cent of Manitobans approve of his performance. That’s up some 20 percentage points since November 2010, and up by 14 points since February 2011.
The rest of the province seems split on Selinger. Twenty-six per cent of people said they disapproved of his performance, and the same amount said they weren’t sure.
Wall, with 59 per cent support, is the only Canadian premier to have the backing of more than half of respondants in a particular province.
The results have been tabulated from an online survey of a representative national sample of 6,756 Canadian adults in nine provinces. The results have a margin of error of 1.2 per cent, 19 times out of 20.
