Today, we were sworn in as your new Manitoba Government. As your new government, we will put you first and make this a province you are proud of. I will be a leader for all of us in Manitoba. Miigwech, merci, and thank you for putting your trust in us.

Dawson Trail’s MLA left the PCs to sit as an independent. For folks in Dawson Trail and across rural Manitoba, what matter are results. Our team is building rinks, said no to the Sio Silica project, and works hard for rural health care. On election night, I said that if we make life more affordable and fix health care in rural Manitoba, I’d humbly ask rural Manitobans to give our team a look. We’re going to keep delivering. 🦬

Happy International Women’s Day. Today and every day, we uplift women across Manitoba. Here in Manitoba, we’re taking action to improve women’s health: Free birth control Free hormone replacement therapy A new menopause clinic coming soon Real progress for women and families across our province. Thank you to the incredible women on our team for all the work you do every single day. Grateful to work alongside so many strong leaders: Renée Cable Jennifer Chen Carla Compton Shannon Corbett Billie Cross Jelynn Dela Cruz Nahanni Fontaine Nellie Kennedy Amanda Lathlin Malaya Marcelino Lisa Naylor Tracy Schmidt Rachelle Schott Bernadette Smith Today and every day, we uplift women across Manitoba.

As we confront the meth crisis in our province, Manitoba’s new 72-hour protective care centre helps get people off the street and into a safe place where they can calm down, receive medical care, and connect to supports. Every Manitoban deserves to feel safe waiting for the bus, walking to the store, or heading home from school. And every Manitoban struggling with addiction deserves real health care and a chance to stabilize. Compassion and public safety go hand in hand. 🦬

The war in Iran is causing kids in Canada concern and it’s raising gas prices for the average family. We stand with Iranian Manitobans hopeful for freedom and everyone who wants safety and stability in the region. Let’s push for a safe and free future our kids can afford.

Cheers to you Doug Ford for keeping Crown Royal on LCBO shelves 🥃. Thanks for doing the right thing. Just like Canadian whiskey, good results take a little bit of time. This is a good day for folks in Gimli, Manitoba and a good day for people in Ontario too. Standing up for workers together is always a big win for Team Canada 🇨🇦

Our thoughts are with the people of Tumbler Ridge - the students, families, educators and first responders facing an unthinkable tragedy. Schools should always be places of safety and care. Manitoba stands with our friends and relatives in British Columbia as they grieve this heartbreaking loss.

United we stand for the TRUE NORTH strong and free. 🇨🇦🏒

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the six million Jewish people who were murdered in the Holocaust, and we honour the survivors who carry the truth forward. The Holocaust was a turning point in history that has influenced so much in the decades since. It is also about the very personal loss of families, communities, and generations. We have a responsibility to remember. We have a responsibility to be clear - antisemitism is wrong, and it has no place in our society. We stand for dignity. We stand for humanity. We stand together. #NeverAgain Photo: The “Tower of Faces” is a three-storey exhibit at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, documenting the vibrant Jewish community of Eisiškės, Lithuania, before its destruction during the Nazi occupation in 1941.

I’m sure we will get a trade deal with America and we’ll always be neighbours, but the current moment demands moral clarity. We can stand up for our values and still do business. No matter where you stand politically, killing innocent people is wrong. Always.

What’s happening in Minnesota right now is an outrage. Now is a time for moral clarity. As Canadians and Manitobans, with a history as peacekeepers and and a desire to be a beacon for human rights, we stand with Minnesotans for the value of a human life. No matter where you stand politically, we want to see our American friends and family get through this. Check in on them. Let them know we’re standing with the average person there for freedom and democracy. 🇨🇦

Canada will never be taken over. Not by China. Not by Trump. We will always be the TRUE NORTH strong and free. 🇨🇦

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 🇨🇦

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!

THINK CHURCHILL 🇨🇦 When it comes to Canada’s sovereignty in the Arctic think Churchill. When it comes to growing our economy & moving goods from coast to coast to coast think Churchill. Whatever you think about Trump, whatever you think about Greenland, think Churchill. Home to the only port and rail line that serves the Arctic. Right here in Manitoba. 🦬 THINK CHURCHILL 🇨🇦

We all want to live in a society where everyone can reach their full potential. That starts with feeling safe. That’s why we’re launching a $1 million Security Enhancement Fund to help protect communities and places of worship from hate, intimidation, and vandalism. Hate has no place in Manitoba. When one community is targeted, we all are. We’re standing up to keep people safe and to make it clear that everyone belongs here.

Blizzard conditions yesterday have led to road closures across Manitoba. Please stay safe and check Manitoba511.ca or the Manitoba 511 app for the latest travel updates. 🦬 I also want to thank the Manitobans and communities who stepped up - opening shelters, bringing food, and helping people stranded on our highways. That’s who we are. One Manitoba.

Merci François - je vous souhaite, à toi et à Isabelle, beaucoup de bonheur. I want to acknowledge François Legault for his years of service. We went through a defining moment for our country together, and as premiers devoted to the protection and promotion of the French language, we built real respect for one another around the table.

When hate and Islamophobia are directed at a place of worship or a community space, they are meant to send a message of fear and exclusion, to tell people they do not belong. That message is wrong, and it has no place in Manitoba. The vandalism at the Abu Bakr Al-Siddique mosque and community centre is an act of hate. It will be investigated fully, and it will be treated seriously. Our government is taking concrete action to confront hate crimes, including strengthening police responses and appointing a dedicated hate crimes prosecutor. We are working closely with communities to ensure people are protected and perpetrators are held accountable. Manitobans deserve to feel safe in their places of worship and gathering. We will stand with the Muslim community and continue taking action to ensure hate is confronted wherever it appears
