eptember will be a political month and Manitobans will be faced with an important choice, perhaps one of the most critical political choices in many years. Will you give Premier Heather Stefanson a chance to continue the work to rebuild the economy that she has barely had time to begin, or will you settle for Wab Kinew who is suddenly singing her song but has had few ideas of his own except to sign the Leap manifesto which pledges to shut down all development in the North? Let’s take a look at the two. You know that my bias is clearly with Heather Stefanson, but I will try to be fair
to Wab. He is a Leader, and he deserves our respect. Wab Kinew background Contrary to what you may think, Mr. Kinew has a very good education and a degree in economics. He attended the Collegiate, a private school attached to the University of Winnipeg, and went on to the University of Manitoba for his degree in economics.

Elton John's style and overall presence will be channeled through one of his most-lauded tribute acts at the International Peace Garden on Sept. 23. Elton John is among the top-10 living artists that I regret not making a greater effort to see live. He is one of those performers where you probably recognize 30 more songs that percolate through popular culture decade after decade.
