Our government is taking action for the health and safety of Manitobans as the federal legalization of marijuana in July 2018 draws closer.

I will never forget the Christmas of 2012. It was hard enough for me. But it was twice as hard for my wife and her family; because it was the last Christmas we would spend with her mom, Mary. The day began with one of the greatest displays of courage I have ever witnessed. We did not know it then, but Mary had less than a month to live. She had fought a 20-month battle with breast cancer—a battle we thought she had won.
