Ep. #109: Early moves in Manitoba's campaign

Manitoba’s election campaign is underway and is setting up to be a close contest between Heather Stefanson’s Progressive Conservatives and Wab Kinew’s New Democrats — so close, in fact, that Dougald Lamont’s Liberals could end up with the balance of power.

To discuss this first stage of the Manitoba campaign, I’m joined by Curtis Brown, principal at Probe Research, Ian Froese, the CBC’s provincial affairs reporter in Manitoba, and Kelly Saunders, associate professor in the department of political science at Brandon University.
