Doer's Dynasty

Summary


Prosperity, however, continues to abound. Houses are still being built in record numbers. "For sale" signs still turn into "Sold" signs and houses in the low to medium price ranges continue to be sold at more than their asking prices.

[Hugh McFadyen] is going to have his work cut out, in part, because the NDP has stolen so much of the Tory ground. As a KPMG survey recently showed, Manitoba is no longer uncompetitive with other provinces on taxes and its standard of living remains highly affordable. Doer, like [Tony Blair], can take credit for having created a new kind of left-leaning political party. Doer's NDP sounds and acts "left" on social policy and, to a certain extent, on labour issues, but economically it has become a business-friendly government. The polls suggest that even with an economic downturn, Doer may be very hard indeed to unseat.
