Manitoba is about to experience a fifth political party. Only three parties, the Progressive Conservatives, the NDP and the Liberals have seats in the Manitoba legislature.

It would appear that many families are at risk of losing a member who has become so depressed that the only escape plan that they come to is taking their own life.

“31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John Chapter 8, New International Version.
The above quotation, especially verse 32 is often quoted. No politician that I have known quoted it more often than former NDP premier Gary Doer.
