It is past time for Premier Brian Pallister to end the escalating feud with the Trudeau government over financial transfers for health care.

There has been a cyclical pattern to election outcomes in Manitoba. Voters tend to support one party for about 10 years before demanding change. Is the victory of the Brian Pallister's Progressive Conservatives mean a new era of provincial politics? Maybe now, political scientist Paul Thomas says.

The NDP was already facing a steep, uphill struggle to win a fifth consecutive term in office at the April 2016 election.

Early numbers might suggest that Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger is in deep trouble in his fight to keep his job, but the numbers need to be interpreted cautiously.

The increasingly nasty fight over the leadership of the NDP illustrates dramatically the tension between power and ethics in political life.

Heading into a leadership contest, the NDP in Manitoba needs to ensure that the procedures followed are transparent, clearly understood, fair and credible.
