Finally. Thank you Manitoba. U guys rock. ❤ from Ontario

[ssarty]

Responsible and respectful yet showing the USA that they screwed up. How Canadian!

[stevemeatingmusic]

Much respect Premier, hopefully it’s infectious to other provinces

[michaelm]

Glad to hear it. Get power to the Canadians who need it.

[ProudCanadian-vvbk]

This is exactly what Canada needs. Opportunities are there and should be explored.

[jasonmoser]

Seems like a really decent leader. Well done Manitoba!

[userb]

Now that is a move I can applause whole heartedly. But remember when renewing contracts with America, full market pricing only, no more special deals. Canada will not sell itself short again.

[andrelavictoire]

This premier makes Canada stronger and better.

[thehellyousay]

he is the kind of politician canada needs.

[stephenr]

This shows real leadership in actions more than words. It helps Manitoba and certainly helps northern communities. You go Premier Kinew.

[Yes]

As an American, I'm glad Canada is protecting itself. Many many Americans feel terrible about this stupid tarriff war.

Chances are we need that electricity do bring more energy towards Churchill port and other Northern Canada towns.

[gregorymckenna]

Well done Manitoba. I hope the rest of Canada follows your example.

Thank you Mr. Premier from the rest of Canada we need to develop the North, and this is a bold move.🇨🇦🇨🇦

[neveranamericanstate]

This is amazing! Time we help our north instead of the fascists in the south.

If our sisters and brothers in Manitoba need a leg-up to do what is best for them, therefore Canada, let's give them a boost.
Yes, this is about 'Elbows up" but it is also about linking arms because that is what it means to be stronger together.
BTW - Kudos to Manitoba with your premier - looks like you elected a winner.
Love from NB

Wab Kinew is a Canadian treasure and Manitoba will do well with him guiding infrastructure. Something I hope all provinces will come on board with and make Canada a much richer, stronger country. Go Wab !!!

[TwoHearts]

I need to find out more about Premier Kinew ... every time I see him on the news he gives off positive vibes. Time for some research!

[genwarrior]

Wow Canada using Canadian energy and resources, who wouldn't want more of this!

[proud_canadian]

Forward thinking clean energy for infrastructure development in Canada and reducing our trade surplus (trade deficit from USA point of view). Invest in Canada.
