A heated debate over language, identity, and political priorities took centre stage on the latest episode of Inside Politics , as Kevin Klein and his panel tackled a controversy that has gripped national headlines—while asking whether Canadians are missing the bigger picture. Joined by Winnipeg Sun columnists Robert-Falcon Ouellette, Lawrence Pinsky, and political science professor Royce Koop, Klein opened with a blunt question: why did outrage over Air Canada’s CEO not speak

Winnipeg councillors Jeff Browaty and Evan Duncan are now taking aim at rising school board taxes, but the criticism rings hollow. After consistently voting for higher taxes at City Hall, their sudden outrage is not leadership. It is hypocrisy, plain and simple. Their argument is straightforward. School divisions, they say, have increased property taxes by more than 40 percent over four years. That is more than double the City of Winnipeg’s increase of 17.5 percent over the s

And right now, the Manitoba NDP’s actions tell a very different story. Consider a fundraising email now circulating among party supporters. It is blunt, urgent, and revealing. The writer admits to being “worried.” They explain they must soon report directly to Wab Kinew and provide a

There is a moment, every so often, when a government makes a choice that tells you exactly how it sees itself. Winnipeg just had one of those moments. The city’s leadership is signalling that it believes it can effectively overrule the provincial government, ignore the authority of a provincial board, and do so on the advice of its own public service rather than independent legal counsel. That raises a question residents and businesses deserve to ask out loud. Who does the ci
