'Behind until proven otherwise:' Liberals facing uphill fight in Winnipeg

It was the kind of near-sweep that has rarely happened before in the Manitoba capital -- not since the Progressive Conservative collapse of 1993. And given recent polling, it's unlikely to be repeated this time, says one political analyst.Royce Koop, head of the political studies department at the University of Manitoba, said it would be like skiing the hardest of mountain slopes.

"In many ways, yes. There are of course challenges," Eyolfson said as he worked doorsteps in his west Winnipeg riding. This time around, the Conservatives, who already hold the majority of seats in Manitoba outside Winnipeg, are banking not only on more competitive national poll numbers, but also on the federal government's backstop carbon tax.

I think after Scheer visit, this is no longer true.

And the crowd was booing ... Katie Simpson ... lol

Has he even been there yet?

And Winnipeg is facing an uphill fight with their current environmental crisis: destructive snow storm. Perhaps their stand on carbon tax merits re-consideration, along with who to vote for on October 21st.

Imagine how far behind he’d be if the truth about why he left the academy was to come out.

Hope so because these are good people who have been abandoned by the Liberals

Why is JT's mouth always so wide open when he's meeting the public? Looks like he's about to take a bite of something.

Good. Keep it that way.

ah ha! this is why Trudeau hasn't shown up in Winnipeg for all the displaced Canadians...he really doesn't care but he will emote if enough liberals in Winnipeg....JT sure doesn't care anything for our indigenous peoples..

Only the UNintelligent will be voting liberal_party in 2019, so it's an 'uphill fight' everywhere, not just Winnipeg!

I couldn’t recognize him without his black makeup

This sounds like the last fed election narrative .. which as we know proved to be WAY OFF BASE.

They don’t have to worry anymore theJagmeetSingh NDP are going to prop them up if there is a minority Conservative government.

Most Canadians are catching on to JustinTrudeau ‘s lies!

$600M bribe for the media to re-elect Pierre Trudeau (or whatever his son's name is) is the single most corrupt act in Canadian political history.

Good. Keep that blue wave rolling. Scheer4PM
