The @FraserInstitute isn’t an objective "think tank"—it’s an ideological factory pushing right-wing agendas. When outlets like the @NationalPost or @TheTorontoSun use them as an unquestioned source, remember: it’s not neutral data, it’s a coordinated, foreign sponsored narrative.

Surveys reveal that online learners want more human interaction, such as instructor feedback or optional campus visits, from their virtual education. Many are driven by career-related circumstances, and want an online program that offers a strong return on investment.

Honoured to participate in the @calgaryherald's think-tank on the future of YYC:
"...growth can split opportunity. We risk building a tale of two cities — one that enjoys headline benefits, & another where young people have fewer opportunities."

We’ve brought 13 new physicians from the U.S. to Manitoba.
So, give us your poor, give us your weary, give us your Americans yearning to be free.
Here in Manitoba, we accept people as they are. We celebrate diversity. We keep our doors open to the world.
And we stand for free, universal public health care - and it will always be that way 🇨🇦
