WINNIPEG — Nine months after being elected, Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew continues to enjoy a honeymoon with voters.

His NDP government has enacted many promises the party made during last year's election campaign, and opposition parties are working to rebuild after losing leaders and legislature seats.

Kinew followed through on a promise to support a landfill search for the remains of two slain First Nations women. He also temporarily suspended the provincial fuel tax and boosted funding for school nutrition programs. "Symbolic statements and actions can earn the government some temporary reprieve from public frustration anger, but that will not endure if inflation persists," he said.

The government's promise to balance the budget before the next election in 2027 may prove to be a challenge as well. One person suggested President Joe Biden take advantage of the ruling and "fire the Court and appoint one that doesn’t work for Trump."Melania Trump Resurfaces After Going AWOL for the Debate
