Manitobans need action not just words to overcome their challenges says Winnipeg Mayoral Candidate

Action is needed, not empty speeches, as citizens suffer daily challenges that desperately need solutions.

Civic Journalist Zuher Almusre sits down with Winnipeg mayoral candidate Robert-Falcon Ouellette on the challenges Winnipeg residents face. The housing crisis and quality of life for Indigenous and homeless people in Winnipeg are some of the issues Ouellette addresses. He stressed the importance of providing them with a good life and the best solutions to prevent them from danger, especially in the winter. Ouellette talks about inflation, its causes, and the suffering of citizens from the high prices of gasoline and grocery, especially with the low minimum wage in Manitoba compared to other provinces. Finally, Ouellette talked about daycare, health, communities, construction, and many other topics to cover all the daily challenges of Manitobans.
