Manitoba Liberals pitch switch to voting in provincial elections
1 September 2023
CBC Manitoba - Manitoba's Liberal Party says it will change the voting system in provincial elections, introducing ranked balloting, if it forms the next government. "If we want lasting change in Manitoba, we need to change the way we vote by strengthening grassroots democracy with ranked ballots in provincial elections. The current system often leads to strategic voting, rather than voting for a preferred candidate, Lamont said. Ranked ballots, or some version of runoff elections, are used by many political parties to elect their leaders and were used in Manitoba elections in the past. Lamont said he favours ranked ballots over proportional representation because it's driven by local votes on local candidates based on community consensus.
Les résultats de l’étude de faisabilité de l’AMC rendus publics
27 July 2023
La Liberte - »Toutefois, la première ministre soulignait aussi qu’elle n’empêcherait pas le gouvernement fédéral de lancer et s’occuper des recherches. Pour Robert-Falcon Ouellette, les manifestations peuvent potentiellement faire agir les gouvernements : « Les manifestants n’accepteront pas qu’aucune fouille n’ait lieu. Parfois les gouvernements pensent qu’un problème peut disparaître, mais là, ils constatent que les choses ne s’améliorent pas, la mobilisation perdure. « Si les politiciens débâtent entre eux, et discutent autour d’un document que personne n’a vu, comment les citoyens peuvent-ils prendre une décision? Dorénavant, toutes les familles de la Province dont les filles ont disparu craignent qu’elle soit la leur.
Statu quo pour le 30 septembre
13 July 2023
La Liberte - Seuls le Nouveau-Brunswick, l’Île-du-Prince- Édouard, les Territoires du Nord-Ouest, le Nunavut, la Colombie-Britannique et le Yukon ont déclaré le 30 septembre jour férié. Ces derniers ont été publiés en 2015 et c’est sept ans plus tard que le gouvernement fédéral a décidé de déclarer le 30 septembre comme jour férié. »Au mois d’avril, le gouvernement du Manitoba avait fait savoir que pour la deuxième année consécutive, le 30 septembre ne serait pas un jour férié. Ainsi, le statu quo était de rigueur, c’est-à-dire que seuls les bureaux gouvernementaux non essentiels et les écoles seront fermés. »Il est donc clair qu’aux yeux de Robert-Falcon Ouellette, le Manitoba doit accélérer le pas sur les questions de réconciliation.
