You know Anita Neville is worried about her chances in the next election. When a Liberal MP starts making accusations of racism to members of the opposition, you know they're worried about something.

From Sunday's Free Press:

When it comes to prime ministerial visits, Stephen Harper appears to be giving Manitoba the cold shoulder. [...]

Winnipeg South Centre Liberal MP Anita Neville said she believes Harper isn't spending more time in Manitoba because he is focused on potential electoral gains elsewhere in the country.

Neville also wonders if the fact Manitoba has a high aboriginal population may be playing a role in his travels.

This is why Anita Neville has lost all credibility in Winnipeg South Centre. She takes a legitimate issue, such as the PMs travel schedule and turns it into a joke. Instead of using the opportunity to raise issues of local importance, she takes cheap shots at the Prime Minister, and accuses him of being racist.

As the Blonde Conservative points out, there really just isn't much for the Prime Minister to do in Manitoba these days.

If Neville wants to accuse the PM of not caring about Manitoba, fine. But she'd have to ignore the hundreds of millions of dollars that the feds are contributing to the floodway expansion, the human rights museum, and the increased transfers from the Conservatives' last budget.
