Manitoba needs a new vision for funding and governance
A critique of Manitoba finance minister Greg Selinger and the NDP approach argues the province is overly reliant on federal transfers totaling about 4.03 to 4.13 billion annually, urging tax reform, lower PST, regional hospital and school autonomy, and a bold, vision-driven leadership to reduce dependence on Ottawa funds. The piece calls for a capable spokesperson to cast a Manitoba centric vision and warns against cap-in-hand federal begging.
