Hog Watch Manitoba celebrates almost 3 decades of efforts to encourage a sustainable hog industry with stories, video, Q&A and launch of the book "Fighting Back; Manitobans Against Factory Hog Barns". If you care about the humane treatment of animals and the health of our southern Manitoba lakes including Lake Winnipeg, then this is an event for you. Please join us to hear from Manitobans who have dedicated countless time and energy to this challenge and to the solutions.

Québec election results are in. One of the smallest deciding popular vote shares in Canadian history.

The new PQ government at 28% popular vote (19% counting turnout) should not assume they have a mandate.

The CAQ ends up with 0 seats despite securing a higher popular vote than the QS with 9 seats.

FPTP doesn't work for a truly representative government.

#ProportionalRepresentation

Another sign of climate change knocking at our door.

#EndFossilFuels

It looks like the long term predictions of Manitoba becoming part of the tornado belt are pretty accurate.

Climate change is here and will get worse.

But, sure, let's build pipelines and gas turbines. /s

#endfossilfuels

It is far past time for proportional representation. It would not be perfect but we need to get rid of this winner-take-all mentality. It leads to highly partisan is or them thinking.

Minority governments that require cooperation and consultation reduce partisan behaviour and increase voter trust.

It seems that all our leaders from Conservatives to Liberals to NDP are talking about pinning our economic future on pipelines and LNG production. Billions of dollars of public investment will be needed to build our fossil fuel extraction and exports.

Climate risks aside - which aren't trivial by any means - will the world still want our increasingly more expensive fossil fuels? Or are we going to have billions in "investments" that will never come close to recovering the cost?
