Recent polling shows surge in support for greens in manitoba
A June Probe analytics poll indicates that support for the Green Party of Canada is on the rise in Manitoba.
Experts suggest that this may be due to citizens being unhappy with elected officials prioritizing "winning" an election and staying in power over the well-being of their constituents. “A significant number of people are disappointed that short-term political calculations are getting in the way of making long-term political decisions that take a little political courage and risk."

Green Party of Manitoba leader James Beddome is taking on NDP leader Wab Kinew in their Fort Rouge riding.
Kinew currently represents the riding, and with the 10-year review of the electoral boundaries, Beddome will now be running in Fort Rouge as well. "Ultimately, I think I'd make a good representative for the people and I want to serve in the riding where I live, where I think I have a degree of support," Beddome said Thursday.

"In the past it really seemed like if I want to vote Green, I'm throwing my vote away," Urichuk says. "But really we're starting to see if you want to vote Green, that means you're a contender, you're second place moving up to first place in quite a few different places across the Province." While the Green Party failed to win a seat in the legislature, Urichuk says they've established momentum by bringing forth issues that are resonating with Manitobans like fighting poverty with Guaranteed Annual Income and combating climate change. "It's an invigoration of a movement," Urichuk says. "Where we're able to move towards a future now where we know we care about the environment, where we know that we care about our children and our families and our education system and our healthcare system, and we know that we have options now to try and pursue solutions to these issues."
