What’s the PM doing?
President Biden is actively searching for ways to lower gas and food prices as well as household costs so that American citizens can continue to pay their bills and live a comfortable life. The Trudeau Liberals see no political advantage for themselves by following the U.S. efforts and could simply not care less about the average Canadian citizens struggles. Isn’t the prime minister’s job to make life better for all of us?
Join forces
Why do we have the Liberal party and the NDP in Manitoba when they have exactly them same principals and vision for the future? They are competing against each other for the same voter and if the NDP simply joined with the Liberals like they have federally, they could surely defeat the Conservatives in any election. It shouldn’t matter what you call yourself if your true goal is making Manitobans’ lives better.
Construction zones
I drove to Winnipeg on Wednesday. Between Brandon and Austin there were three construction zones, one over three kilometres long, with speed restricted to 60 km/h. There was no one working in any of these zones. I am a firm believer in speed zones while the crews are working; however, if they are not working, the signs should be covered or laid down. After the two empty zones, the majority of drivers did not slow down for the third one, which is dangerous if a crew is on the road. Reminds me of the story of the boy who cried wolf. This could be more dangerous. Construction zones need to be used properly if you expect them to work.
