What else lurks in the Closet of Conflict? Maybe it’s time to call in Nancy Drew. I’m seeing a pattern of behaviour here. Conflict of interest laws are based on trust and it’s becoming apparent that the appointed premier cannot be trusted in this regard. 1/
“Don’t you love farce? / My fault, I fear. / I thought that you’d want what I want./ Sorry my dear./ But where are the clowns? / Send in the clowns./ Don’t bother, they’re here. (Stephen Sondheim) Perhaps the government was honouring the late, great composer, Stephen Sondheim 1/
On Monday we discovered that 20 Manitobans had died of Covid over the weekend. Appointed premier Heather Stefanson offered no condolences or words of compassion. Instead she congratulated Seagrams distillery on its award winning whisky. 1/
Heather Stefanson and the Manitoba PC Party didn’t get the bump they were looking for at year’s end. Let’s hope that 2022 is better for all of us. Thank you all for your support this past year as I try to make sense of things through cartoons. 1/
Hood ornaments are kinda nice, but generally useless—like some ministers. At least this one knows where his supporters are. Thanks again to @jillianHortonMD for the prompt. #mbpoli #politicalcartoon #conservative #healthorders #pandemic #superstore #conservative #cameronfriesen
It’s time to revisit the play of some members of Team Manitoba. It’s also time to remove the“Minister” before Ron Schuler’s name. Team Manitoba is not getting value for the extra $50 K a year this MLA gets as Minister of Infrastructure. Time on the backbench is in order. #mbpoli
“Province withholds ambulance funding equal to salary increases,” says the news headline, thereby forcing cuts to service. A petty, vindictive move by the asshats on Broadway who don’t believe in pay raises or negotiating in good faith. 1/
William “Billy” Barker was a Canadian WW1 fighter ace and Victoria Cross recipient. He is the most decorated serviceman in the history of Canada. He was born in Dauphin, Manitoba. #billybarker #williamgeorgebarker #ww1 #pilot #fighterace #remembranceday #lestweforget #portrait
Somewhere on a beach in Costa Rica, the former premier of Manitoba is warmed by the memories of home. At least a little thankful that he moved south before things got hotter and colder. #mbpoli #politicalcartoon #conservative #pcpartymanitoba #pallister
Happy Halloween! Anyone else dressing up today, maybe cosplaying as “He Who Shall Not Be Named?” After the PC leadership race stumbled to its awkward denouement yesterday, are things really that different? Probably not. #mbpoli #politicalcartoon #pcpartymanitoba #heatherstefanson
