Premier Heather Stefanson revealed a new slogan – ‘Fighting for Manitobans’ – and told more than 200 delegates to prepare for the election slated for Oct. 3
Manitoba’s governing Progressive Conservatives laid the groundwork Saturday for their upcoming election campaign. They also looked at potential changes to their leadership selection process that was widely criticized during the last race for the party helm.
In her speech aimed at firing up party faithful, Stefanson repeatedly accused Opposition NDP Leader Wab Kinew of being in favour of defunding police, which Kinew has denied. She offered no evidence of any NDP plan for tax increases other than tax hikes enacted under the former NDP government in place before Kinew was elected.
Stefanson said fundraising has picked up and new ads will hit the airwaves “in the next very short while.” The Tories’ major annual fundraising event – a dinner that coincides with the weekend meeting – was sold out with 1,300 tickets purchased, the party said. In a session closed to media Saturday, the party presented a report outlining possible changes to the leadership rules.“I think that at the end of the day, we just want to make sure that every single of our 28,000 members feel that their voice has been heard and they’re given the opportunity to vote when the time comes,” Pooles said.
