As Premier I would...
Many of the Manitoba political blogs post gossip and general nastiness and negative comments about their political enemies. Others try to point out what they view as failures in the MSM.
It's a bad trend and it is time to start talking about ideas and the future. In the next series of posts I want to start talking about what policies I think would make Manitoba a better place. Some will be obvious, others will require more thought.
Here's what I propose. I will get up on the soapbox and espouse my conservative virtues. However, what I will also do is welcome suggestions and discussions about the concepts. If NDP, Liberal and other tories would like to write submissions I will post them for people to discuss. If Gary Doer, Hugh McFadyen, Jon Gerrard or any other MLA want to contribute, all the better. Heck, I will even post something from Comrade Santos.
Of the leaders, only Jon has a blog, but he seems to post more about Folkarama than politics. Manitoba's answer to Joe Volpe. The other two might be a bit busy for that!
Stay tuned to the Andy Fletcher Show for Part 1: As premier, I would dismantle rent control. I hear the Dippers shuddering already! Part 2 will be what we can do for working class families.

Did you know the City of Winnipeg under Glen Murray no less, spent $40K on their "branding" initiative? Seems a lot less than $2.1 million. It cost over 50 times more for Manitoba to get "Spirited Energy" than Winnipeg spent to "Embrace the Spirit". Apparently embracing something is cheap, but energy is expensive.

Andy, Andy, Andy..
Thank you for the informative blog..it certainly affords me a rosy view of the political landscape. Dr. Jon and the Spunky Liberal Kevin look better and better each day..actually the blog landscape paints a picture of unbridled morons at the helm and baby Hughie and his merry band of babysitters appear to be channeling the ghosts of conservatives past..but does anyone notice they are all the same. The NDP and the Conservatives are interchangeable..not one would even notice the difference if both parties switch sides in the chamber..yawn.
