I was writing recently about the sad state of politics in Ontario under Doug Ford. Manitoba offers a refreshing contrast under its NDP government, led by Wab Kinew who, according to friends in that province, is doing a fine job for the people.

I especially like his response to American whiners like Pete Hoekstra and Jamieson Greer, who demand that ‘trade irritants’, such as the ban on American alcohol in most provinces, be rescinded.
