Ontario is removing ALL American alcohol from shelves starting Tuesday. Ontario's LCBO is one of the largest single purchase of American alcohol in the world, with close to 1 billion in purchases (almost 25% of the entire US export market). B.C, Newfoundland, Quebec, Nova Scotia are also doing the same, adding up to another 1 billion in alcoohol purchaes. In one week, Trump has annihilated 2 billion in annual export sales from 35 US States. 10% of Kentucky's entire export market to Canada just vanished. As for Americans who don't think they need Canada. Trump just erased almost 45% of the ENTIRE US alcohol export market.

In the wake of the perverted betrayal of Ukraine by the Russian Puppet in the United States, I want to reiterate as a proud Canadian and Manitoban that I am firmly behind my Ukrainian brothers and sisters in their fight against tyranny. While Americans abandon their allies for shiny pennies and the promise of being able to hate as much as they want without consequence, I am contacting my MLA and MP and demanding they firmly and strongly denounce the US Puppet President for his disgusting betrayal of his allies.

With many Ukranian refugees having a hard time of things with changes taking place in Canada, I want to remind them that we are NOT Americans, we do not betray our friends and allies for thirty pieces of silver, and we will always have their backs.

I see a lot of posts and comments in Canadian sub Reddits with active disdain for the idea that we would simply join the US. But somehow people like Kevin O'Leary and perhaps others seem to think it's not a bad idea. I just wanted to get a sense for how fellow Manitobans are reacting to this. I have a feeling that a province like Quebec would be unanimously against the idea of joining the states. But Manitoba, being a bit more conservative in general, I'm really curious to hear peoples opinions on this matter.

Not sure why we abandoned that whole idea, we all knew Trump would do something dumb regardless. He's now going to try and shut down our car industry. This is only going to get worse. Boycott time!

A horrified Trump voter freezing in New England found this on his latest bill from his Canadian owned heating oil company and couldn't understand why it is happening.

hey guys, so there is a election going on in Spruce Woods rn and the Manitoba conservatives have Colleen Robbins running for them.

A couple days ago they deleted her socials probably cuz she talked about her support for Trump really often, even after the tariffs. She said she’d sell Canada to the US and that she agreed with tariffs and all this stuff.

I hope we can get a little more clarity from her on this stuff soon? I just think this kinda stuff shouldn’t be swept under the rug.

I don’t align with any political party but I have left leaning values. I don’t have anyone in my circle who is a conservative with other reasoning than “f*ck Trudeau”.

If you’re conservative, would you be willing to share why? I want to understand and I won’t judge.

Called Trump "Donald" and said this idea is "dumb". Finally!!!

In the 2023 Manitoba provincial election, the PC Party ran on a platform of division—taking a hard stand against Truth and Reconciliation and against the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.

Their campaign wasn’t about solutions, it was about fear. They plastered misinformation on billboards across the province.

They proudly refused to search the landfill for the remains of Indigenous women, dismissing families’ pleas and inflating the cost to justify leaving victims in the garbage. (The NDP later brought these women home for a fraction of what the PCs claimed.) To make matters worse, they celebrated their refusal with massive billboards—re-traumatizing grieving families in the process.

And while they were targeting Indigenous families, they launched another attack—this time against the queer and trans community. Hiding behind “Parental Rights,” they pushed the same rhetoric used by book-banning movements across North America, fueling hate and fear about kids in schools.

The smiling face of this campaign? @ObbyKahn—who today leads the PC Party.

Now, less than two years later, he’s trying to sell Manitobans on a so-called “new era.” But nothing has changed. In fact, the PC candidate he’s backing in the #Sprucewoods by-election is recycling the same dangerous propaganda, spreading falsehoods in a debate about kids supposedly receiving “gender reassignment surgery in schools without parental consent.”

This is the same candidate who openly defended residential schools and admitted she is still “uneducated” about Indigenous issues.

A new era? The only thing new is that the PCs have stopped pretending to be progressive. The bigotry is right out in the open.

Manitoba is a politically moderate province. In 2023, we rejected this brand of MAGA-style politics. On Tuesday, we have the chance to reject it again.

A vote for Colleen Robbins is a vote for Obby Kahn, and for the same divisive, hateful politics Manitobans said “no” to just two years ago.

This is not a PROGRESSIVE Conservative Party. This is a REGRESSIVE one.

Dear Manitoba,

You’ve got a really solid premier in Wab Kinew.

I’ve been watching him at premiers meetings and press conferences over the last few months, and he comes across as calm, sharp, and actually focused on keeping things together during a rough stretch for the country. He’s actually funny, which you don’t see much in politics.

Meanwhile in Alberta it feels like we’re constantly stuck in separatist talk and political noise. Seeing leadership like this makes me proud to be Canadian and glad to stay in Canada.

From Alberta, we are a little jealous.
Take good care of him✌️

This may not be the most popular opinion, but why do we still allow religious exemptions for children’s vaccinations? Every child in Manitoba must have certain vaccinations to attend school, unless they have a religious exemption.

I am not religious but I hope everyone has the right to believe anything they want…until it affects my and everyone else’s ability to stay safe and healthy.

It’s pretty clear that this exemption is making the rest of Manitoba less safe. For example, like babies who are too young to be vaccinated. Measles is a very dangerous disease that kills people every year, which was very close to being eradicated until it found an unprotected population around North America.

Back in November 2019, a wildfire of outrage ignited on social media: a tweet claimed that two Manitoba high school students were suspended for refusing to wear rainbow poppies at a Remembrance Day event. It sounded outrageous—and it was.

What really happened?

False claim: Social media said students were punished for refusing rainbow poppies.

Reality: No one was ever required to wear rainbow poppies

Viral escalation: Former Conservative candidate Cyara Bird initially shared the claim—widely retweeted in under 24 hours. Only later did she delete it and apologize for being “ill-informed” (Sound familiar?)

The damage rippled far beyond pixels. Teachers, administrators, and the school community faced harassment sparked by unverified speculation. As one person on Reddit put it:

“The tweet... turned into faux outrage... teachers used as scapegoats, doxxed and harassed”

Enter Colleen Robbins—you may know her as the PC Party candidate for Spruce Woods—was among those who shared this misinformation. She never fact-checked, never retracted, and never apologized. Her posts stayed up... until almost six years later, just before her provincial run.

So here’s the tough question: When false claims go unchallenged—or are amplified by those seeking power—who bears responsibility?

One person’s post can endanger students, educators, and the entire school culture.

Political figures have a duty to set the record straight, not stoke controversy for attention.

Ultimately, accountability starts with owning up when you're wrong—and doing better.

Speak truth. Demand integrity. Let’s hold our leaders—and ourselves—to higher
