WINNIPEG — Manitobans are increasingly worried about the cost of living and crime, and are becoming less confident in the justice system and public service , a poll commissioned by the provincial government suggests.
Financial concerns were common despite the province's low unemployment rate, which has hovered around five per cent, and relatively affordable housing. The average home price in May in Manitoba was $371, 224, compared to the national average of $699,117, recent data from the Canadian Real Estate Association shows.
"Before the last couple of years, we had a pretty long period of time of relatively low or even falling inflation rates and extremely low interest rates," said Fletcher Baragar, an associate professor of economics at the University of Manitoba."There are grounds for some optimism going forward. But changes such as falling interest rates and falling inflation rates -- those are going to be gradual.
Fewer than half of respondents said they were confident in unions, provincial politicians, the justice system, courts and the media. Almost half said they do not trust the government to act in the best interest of the public. Non-MAGA America seethes at Trump's lies, bluster and authoritarianism. But neither Biden nor any younger, healthier Democrat directly moves to shut down his appeal at its root — toxic whiteness.When Donald Trump squared off in a high-stakes debate in Atlanta last week, his wife Melania wasn’t there to offer the traditional post-debate smooch. When Trump received a guilty verdict in a Manhattan fraud trial, Melania wasn’t there for the traditional hand-holding walk out of the courthouse.
