It isn’t easy being green, especially in Manitoba.
Manitoba is set on a course to be a greener place to live, according to Jeff Kraynyk, manager at Agri-Energy.
When Manitoba’s NDP won its fourth consecutive term in office on Oct. 4, 2011, Progressive Conservative leader Hugh McFadyen expressed his disappointment in the election results.

Watching the Manitoba election campaign from Ontario provides a bit different perspective.
The ads that hit the television screens and airwaves last week seem to simply rehash the fear mongering and innuendo that permeated the last days of the provincial legislative session, even before the official start of the election campaign.
One Manitoba voter I talked to was puzzled about the layoff of hundreds of nurses. The ad made her think the PCs had just recently cut nursing jobs. When it was explained that the layoffs the NDP were talking about took place over a decade ago, she threw up her hands and declared she wouldn’t vote because she wouldn’t know who to believe.
So it appears from this experience that negative political advertising simply discourages voters from exercising the democratic rights our military has so strenuously defended for decades.
Manitoba must vote.
