Is Doer opposed to non-union jobs coming to Manitoba? Is he afraid that considering the idea will tarnish his green image? Or, does he have a legitimate reason -- something having to so with what's best for the Province? If he does, I would certainly like to hear it. It’s hard not to be cynical sometimes.

We need to be continually developing major critical mass that will ostensibly drive other business to this province. What spin-off benefits could such development bring? Manitobans are reaping what they've sown by electing this g-d government for a third (ruinous) term.
