On April 8th, 2022, Winnipeg peace activists held an information picket in front of the office of Jim Carr, Liberal Member of Parliament for Winnipeg Centre and delivered their message to his office. The purpose of this action was to object to the Canadian government’s recently announced plans to spend 19 billion dollars on 88 new F-35 fighter jets and increase military spending by $6.1 billion over the next 5 years. Here is some of what they had to say.
Winnipeg, March 14, 2015: Paul Moist, national president of the
Canadian Union of Public Employees, spoke to a crowd of about a
thousand people who rallied at Winnipeg City Hall to express opposition to Bill C-51, the so-called The Anti-Terrorism Act that Stephen Harper's Conservative government introduced January 30, 2015.

St. Boniface MP Shelley Glover recently lectured Winnipeg broadcaster Michael Welch of CKUW-FM 95.9 on the virtues of "ethical oil" and the "balanced" approach of the Conservative government to energy development that has obtained the "support" of aboriginal people for tar sands development and the Enbridge Pipeline Proposal. Michael checked her assertions with Gerald Amos, former elected Chief Councillor for the Haisla First Nation for 12 years.
Was Glover poorly informed or spinning for her boss, Stephen Harper? You be the judge.
After you've watched this, you may want to watch Tar Sands, Pipelines and Tankers - the forum at which Gerald Amos spoke, along with Wade Davis, Lynne Fernandez and Anne Lindsey. Simply point your browser to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVXbCCBOA8U.
