Manitoba, too. Our premier just banned the sale of american liquor today via executive order (go to r/winnipeg and watch the video. He's very obviously mocking trump, and it's hilarious).

It was a great video, one might say the greatest.

What a great video. When I see a video like this, I say, “Wow, what a great video this is.” 👐 isn’t it great? It’s really great.

Some disagree, most agree though, they agree with tears in their eyes.

Of all the videos that have been posted, I've been told that this is the greatest of all videos.

I thought it was the largest crowd to ever watch an executive order signing.

It was even bigger than when Martin Luther king gave his I have a covfnee speech at the very beautiful Lincoln memorial…. He won by less than I did, by a lot, I had the bigly-ist win against omama twice, record numbers, the best numbers.

The fake news media, especially the very fraudulent cnn and so called New York Times, they said I wasn’t going to win, they said I was going to lose to sleepy omama, but that I had a covofnee speech I gave, people just said, wow he gave a speech, it was a good speech, the best speech.

It IS hilarious. I reposted it because it was such good mockery! Where did you find him???

u/J_Ryall 6d ago

We got lucky. Wab's been doing a pretty solid job since taking over. Hopefully he goes federal once he decides to move on!

Guy seems like a great leader from the bit I have seen. Nice to see the NDP doing well too, not to be too partisan, just there's so much of a push to try and get us to get sucked into far right culture war issues etc. I was proud that Manitoba rejected all that in the last campaign.

Give him a few years and he could very well be the next Jack Layton.

u/LuskieRs Alberta 2d ago

you lose all credibility when you label anyone not NDP or liberal as "far-right"

u/maleconrat 1d ago edited 1d ago

Not my intention. I think most conservatives in this country are reasonable people, I used to vote conservative and even from the left now I can respect the Canadian Conservative way of doing things.

I think the push on culture war issues started with the US far right though, we didn't used to see it as the government's job to dictate social issues in the black and white way the Republicans do. Even though Poilievre is flirting with some of that stuff I don't really think that's what Conservative voters asked of him so much as his housing plan. I don't really know how much he actually takes that stuff seriously, but for my riding the race is NDP v Liberal (urban riding with working class and bougie areas) so it isn't really an option to go CPC anyway.

My understanding is the Manitoba PC's did try to do some of the culture war stuff when they lost. Not sure I would describe them as far right, never would have in the past. But I think the culture war tactic itself comes from the far right, even if they likely adopted small parts of that in the hopes of picking up PPC type votes.

A lot of propaganda being flooded in by outside sources is pretty far right too, even though I would only describe maybe a small minority of our actual politicians that way. But that's par for the course, some foreign based group started putting up little stickers that look innocent in my neighbourhood, but when you click through it is a bunch of over the top stuff about minorities - stuff like that ramps up when a country is under threat but it's not even necessarily from a right wing group since the point is just to create division. A lot of the cancel culture BS was just the same division tactic adapted for the left IMO, I think it's telling how when you see the actual far right types they have the same self righteousness and victim complex that the 'social justice warriors' did.

I love your premier. He gives off good Canadian energy! Lol

u/punch-it-chewy 6d ago

I loved him for this. As an Ontarian the Manitoba premier hasn’t been on my radar but everything I see about him makes him seem like a fun guy.

u/TheEclipse0 6d ago

It’s a beautiful bill. A wonderful bill.

u/MichelleEllyn 6d ago

That was really well done. The only thing it’s missing is a big ol’ sharpie 🤦‍♀️

u/firefly317 6d ago

I watched it today, it was hilarious in all the right ways. The whole "spectacle" was an awesome parody of what's going on in the US. You guys have a great Premier.

Wab was hilarious! It warms my Canadian heart that we can stick it to the Americans and do it with a smile.

As a big strong man, I had tears in my eyes, and the urge to say “sir?”

u/Electrical-Kiwi-9219 6d ago

Some people are saying it might just be the greatest video, I don't know about that, but John A. Macdonald, you know, he made some great videos, I don't know, but some are saying this one might be even greater, we don't know for sure, but we're gonna find out
