We are saying no to a data centre in Île-des-Chênes because there are big threats to the environment and not much benefit to the economy. Our message to any tech company out there… if you want to build technology with a thoughtful, human-centred approach that puts humanity first, then Manitoba is open for business. 🦬

Our kids are not for sale. We’re moving forward with a first-in-Canada plan to ban social media and AI chatbots for youth - because these platforms are built to capture attention, not protect it. Childhood should be about learning, growing, and being present. Not endless scrolling designed for profit. We owe the next generation something simple: the freedom to be kids. A lot done. A lot more to do.

Crown Royal is Canadian Whiskey made in Gimli, Manitoba. It puts our country and our province on the map globally. Let’s protect these Canadian jobs in Gimli, as well as in Quebec and Ontario. I’m asking my friend Doug to not follow through on boycotting this Canadian product made from the waters of Lake Winnipeg by hard working blue-collar Manitobans. We should all cheers to that!

We’ve brought 13 new physicians from the U.S. to Manitoba. So, give us your poor, give us your weary, give us your Americans yearning to be free. Here in Manitoba, we accept people as they are. We celebrate diversity. We keep our doors open to the world. And we stand for free, universal public health care - and it will always be that way 🇨🇦

Universal healthcare is who we are as Canadians. It’s one of the things that sets us a part from the U.S. and we should be proud of that. Let’s keep it strong and make sure it serves everyone, in every region. It’s our heritage, our legacy and something we should all be proud of.

We can all agree that kids should be protected. Big tech and AI platform are targeting young people before their brains are fully developed. Manitoba is taking action by banning social media and AI chatbots for kids under 16. It’s about taking back control over our kids eduction, socialization and in the long term, taking back control of our democracy. 🇨🇦

Help for Manitobans hurt by flooding this year: $500 advance cheques, right away, through the Disaster Financial Assistance program. Plus you can help too. We’ll match donations to the Canadian Red Cross, starting with $15 million. Manitoba, we have each other’s back:

No tax on groceries. That’s right, we’re taking all provincial taxes off food from the grocery store. Breaking Budget Day news you can use... That quick stop on the way home picking up the rotisserie chicken, salad and drinks for the family - right now, you’re paying PST on that. Once our budget passes … you won’t pay PST anymore. Real savings for real life. Right where it matters most. Making life more affordable for Manitobans. A lot done. A lot more to do. 🦬

The devastation in the Parkland is unlike anything many people have ever seen. This disaster is bigger than any one community can handle alone. We’ve got a ton of resources in the region and we’ve asked the Federal government to deploy the military to help people in western Manitoba and the Parkland region. To everyone affected: we’ve got your back 🦬

The internet promised to empower people. Instead, it concentrated power, and pushed the cost onto our kids. Anxiety. Depression. Self-doubt. Our kids shouldn’t be products. And their attention shouldn’t be commodified. It’s time to hold big tech accountable. Not parents. Not kids. This is about protecting kids and taking back control over our lives.

Banning social media and AI chatbots is about protecting kids 16 and under. Let’s push back… in the name of mental health, in the name of protecting children. We’re putting the responsibility where it belongs: on big tech - not on parents, and not on kids. Childhood should be about growing up and living a good, safe life- not being used for profit.

We’re standing up at the Supreme Court to protect religious freedom, civil liberties & democracy. Bill 21 would prevent people from wearing visible symbols of their faith. Even with the notwithstanding clause, courts must still rule—so power stays in your hands.
