I don't touch off here often enough about the provincial politics in Manitoba. Aside from the newspapers, a few good blogs (most of which are listed to your left), politics in this province doesn't have much of a web presence. Even with an election right around the corner the wise guys, and the government mouthpiece have been pretty quite lately. I guess the combatants have to "feel each other out" before any good fight.

But it appears the first blow has been delivered by the PC Party. Via Jim Cotton we have a real-life internet attack ad in Manitoba. The PC's go after Gary Doer and the NDP over the Crocus Scandal on YouTube. And it's long over due...
Just as an aside, I should point out that as it stands, I have no intention of voting for the PC Party in Manitoba. Since the change of leadership, there has been a complete lack of, well... leadership. The PC Party seems to be trying to position itself as NDP-Lite, meanwhile the absolutely power-less Liberal party has been putting the boots to Doer. And if a libertarian-loon like myself can actually imagine voting for a "Liberal" party, you know the guys on the right are in trouble.

The only thing that really matters is that Gary Doer and the NDP suck.

Update:The PC's and Liberals are definitely coordinating their efforts. Liberal leader Dr. Jon Gerrard released his own YouTube video about Crocus yesterday.
