An old archival video promoting Manitoba during the Winter time. If this video is to be believed then people had a grand ol' time during the Winter back in 1968.

@manitoba Wab Kinew: “Let the Epstein class fight the Epstein war”

"Not a single Canadian should ever be put in harm's way to defend Donald Trump's foolish Iranian war," he [Kinew] said at the conference Friday.

"I'll go a step further, and I'll say no American either," Kinew said. "No American child from the blue collar or the middle class should have to die in Iran. Let the Epstein class fight the Epstein war.”

When questioned Wednesday, Kinew didn't clearly state why government is making the distinction between grocery stores and other food retailers, like convenience stores or mom-and-pop shops.

Locations that are less than 280 square meters in size, are licensed to sell tobacco products and are located in a city will not benefit from PST relief. The tax will continue to be applied at vending machines and restaurants, including takeout food.

@manitoba Wabama - Prison Rap | Wab Kinew raps to the beat of ‘F da police’ (2012)

I think we need to take a moment to appreciate just how out of touch the conservatives were in the last election: they seriously thought that Wab Kinew’s rap career would make him look bad. But of course, as we all know now, it actually just makes him look cool af. 10/10 would vote NDP again.

Provincial sales taxes will be removed from more grocery store items under Manitoba's next budget, and one researcher says the province may be the first to do so.

Currently, Manitobans pay provincial sales tax (PST) on prepared food and drinks sold for immediate consumption.

That includes "rotisserie chickens, salads, a case of Bubly — all the stuff that you're grabbing on the way home when you're in a rush and you gotta try and put a meal on the table for the family," Premier Wab Kinew announced in a post on social media Tuesday.

"After our budget passes — assuming it passes by July 1 — that will all be tax free," Kinew said.

It's a "bold move" that will relieve some pressure on Manitobans at the grocery store, says Sylvain Charlebois, director of Dalhousie University's Agri-Food Analytics Lab in Nova Scotia.

Manitoba may be the first Canadian province to eliminate the tax at the grocery store, he said.

"I think it should be welcome news for the rest of Canada, as far as I'm concerned, [and] I think perhaps other provinces should follow suit," Charlebois told CBC News.
