The Black Rod

Wab Kinew's NDP government received its first report card last week---and received a solid 'F'. This wasn't from the Opposition Tories or from one of the shill doctors associations that the NDP relied on to attack the Conservatives in power. This grading came right from the top echelon of the Manitoba health care system that's now under the control of the NDP.

And we're back and feistier than ever.
