Who's afraid of the status quo?

I don't believe that most Manitobans are satisfied with the status quo. Most Manitobans are, I believe: a) afraid of change (change is evil?) and 2) apathetic.

For fun, let's follow along the all-is-well-theme driven by the incumbent government provincial government.

Ask yourself: Who is truly satisfied with the RATE of improvement on the infrastructure in this province? Please keep in mind that the incumbent government has had 8 years to get it done and only pledged a $500+ million promise a scant few weeks prior to the election call.

Ask yourself: Who is satisfied with the current state of our health system? Remember that the incumbent government has had double the federal transfers since 1999 (fyi that means billions of dollars, yes, plural). They have had 8 years to fix this as well. The bureaucracy is nicely bloated though.

Ask yourself: Who is satisfied with real job creation in this province? The incumbent government has had 8 years to remove job and business killing taxes. Please do not confuse all the government jobs created (ie WRHA) nor the government sponsored construction jobs (ie Floodway). Our economy is fully half reliant upon the government.

What do you suppose will happen to all those jobs when the economy takes a breather?

Ask yourself: Who is satisfied with the current justice system in Manitoba? Only after 8 years has the incumbent government has promised more police and crown attorney's.

Four key elements: infrastructure, health, business and job creation, and justice. Why, after 8 years do we continue to talk so much about these issues?
