Status: Urgent and Ongoing
Overview:
The Winnipeg Metropolitan Region (WMR) is a bureaucratic entity composed of 18 municipalities, created to centralize decision-making on land use, development, and regional planning. Plan 20-50 is the long-term development framework produced by WMR—a top-down, unelected initiative that transfers local control away from residents and elected municipal officials.
​
What’s the Problem with Plan 20-50?
​
-
Undermines local governance and community input
-
Shifts decision-making to unelected regional boards
-
Allows for regional taxation and centralized planning without accountability
-
Supports high-density development models misaligned with rural and suburban values
-
Embedded with globalist policies via ICLEI and UN-aligned development frameworks
-
Lacks transparency, public consultation, or electoral oversight
What’s Happened So Far:
Manitoba Stronger Together has taken the lead in educating the public and municipal councils on the dangers of Plan 20-50. MST has:
​
-
Delivered eight public seminars across WMR municipalities
-
Created a comprehensive public report exposing the plan’s origins and risks
-
Produced targeted leaflets and resource kits for ratepayers
-
Met with local councillors and mayors—many of whom were unaware of what they had supported
-
Helped inspire multiple municipalities to vote to leave the WMR
Now What? Enter Bill 4.
The Manitoba government introduced Bill 4, which claims to allow municipalities to opt out of the WMR—but the bill is poorly drafted, poorly explained, and full of loopholes that could trap communities in the very framework they’re trying to leave.

-
Attend upcoming MST info sessions in your region
-
Write your MLA about strengthening Bill 4 to ensure real municipal sovereignty
-
Share MST’s public report with neighbours and ratepayers

This is not just about planning—it’s about power.
If we don’t act now, we risk surrendering community control to unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats for decades to come.
Overview:
Many Manitobans are unaware of their fundamental rights—where they come from, how they're protected under Canadian law, and what to do when those rights are violated. In recent years, government mandates, public health orders, and bureaucratic overreach have shown just how fragile civil liberties can become when left undefended.
​
That’s why MST has launched the Know Your Rights – Education Blitz, a province-wide initiative to equip citizens with the legal knowledge and tools they need to stand up with confidence.
​
What’s the Goal?
​
-
Reintroduce citizens to their rights under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the Bill of Rights, and natural law
-
Educate people on how to recognize unlawful overreach by government or law enforcement
-
Provide tools to assert rights peacefully and effectively in real-world situations
-
Build community confidence and public resilience against future abuses of power
What MST Has Done:
​
-
Created a structured 7-part education series available online
-
Developed downloadable Rights Cards and print-friendly handouts
-
Hosted live and recorded Tuesday Zoom sessions with legal experts, educators, and advocates
-
Partnered with local volunteers to deliver in-person workshops in rural and urban communities
-
Produced clear, accessible write-ups on concepts like informed consent, freedom of movement, and due process
What You Can Do:
​
-
Host a rights presentation in your community—MST will provide the materials
-
Download and share our Rights Cards in your school, church, or local businesses
-
Join our Tuesday Zoom calls for updates and Q&A
-
Encourage friends and family to get informed—starting with Section 1 of our online rights guide

Because knowing your rights is the first step in defending them.

​
Overview:
You can’t fix what you don’t understand. That’s why Manitoba Stronger Together created the Political Education Series—a growing library of plain-language resources that explain how governments operate, how decisions are made, and how citizens can influence the system at every level.
​
This is not academic theory—it’s real-world knowledge every Manitoban can use to challenge bad policy, expose abuses of power, and bring accountability to elected officials.
​
What’s Included in the Series:
​
-
Political Education Hub – A central launchpad to explore MST’s educational content
-
How Manitoba Government Works – A plain-language walkthrough of the provincial legislative process
-
Understanding Elections – A breakdown of how elections function, from voting systems to riding dynamics
-
Knowing Your Representatives – How to identify, research, and contact your local officials
-
Understanding Municipal Power – What councils control, how bylaws are passed, and how to present delegations
-
Political Parties in Manitoba – What they are, how they operate, and who controls what behind the scenes
Why This Matters:
​
-
Most people have never been taught how their government functions
-
A lack of knowledge leads to low accountability and voter disengagement
-
Clear, accessible education empowers citizens to speak with confidence and act with purpose
What MST Has Done:
​
-
Produced an easy-to-navigate online education hub
-
Created downloadable PDFs for public use
-
Presented this content through Tuesday Zoom sessions, guest speakers, and community presentations
-
Integrated real-world case studies and advocacy strategies into each section
What You Can Do:
​
-
Explore the Education Hub and share the subpages with friends, family, and community leaders
-
Print and distribute MST education summaries at local events
-
Host a local “Know How It Works” night using MST slides and videos

MST Live Community Dinners
Status: Ongoing – Check for Upcoming Dates
​
Overview:
In a world increasingly divided by screens and algorithms, real community happens face-to-face.

​
These dinners aren’t just about politics—they’re about people. You’ll find fellowship, laughter, respectful conversation, and a safe space to express concerns, share ideas, and get feedback from others who care deeply about the future of Manitoba.

Example Six
Engaging From the Inside – Influence Party Politics in Manitoba
Overview:
Real political change doesn’t just happen on election day—it’s built from within the system, often years before ballots are cast. That’s why Manitoba Stronger Together is actively encouraging and equipping its members to understand, navigate, and participate in provincial party politics at the local level.
​
Whether you're a long-time voter or new to political involvement, MST helps you move from the sidelines into meaningful roles—as delegates, board members, nomination voters, and policy influencers inside the parties shaping Manitoba’s future.
​
What the Campaign Covers:
​
-
How party politics actually works in Manitoba
-
The structure of local constituency associations (CAs)
-
The role of party membership and how leadership and nomination candidates are chosen
-
How party policies are written—and how to influence them
-
Why internal party democracy is just as important as general elections
-
Practical steps to join a CA, attend meetings, or run for a local board position
Why This Matters:
​
-
Many decisions are made long before elections, by people who show up to party meetings
-
Political parties often count on public apathy to maintain control from the top down
-
Citizens who understand party structures can steer the direction of leadership, candidates, and policies
-
Participating from the inside builds influence and credibility that can’t be achieved through voting alone
What MST Has Done:
​
-
Launched an in-depth Political Education series on how parties operate
-
Created tutorials and guides for joining CAs and engaging at the grassroots level
-
Facilitated local networking among MST members aligned with shared values
-
Supported member-led efforts to join boards, vote in leadership races, and run as delegates or local reps
What You Can Do:
​
-
Watch our MST Party Politics Workshop (available on demand)
-
Join a party CA that reflects your values—MST can help you identify and contact your local association
-
Invite MST to give a presentation to your group or region on how to engage
-
Coordinate with others in your constituency to become a visible, values-driven force in your party

It’s time to stop reacting—and start shaping.
Party politics shouldn’t belong to the elites. It should belong to the people who show up.
