Political Advocacy

Taking a Stand. Making an Impact.

What Is Political Advocacy?

Political advocacy means more than having an opinion — it means taking deliberate action to influence public policy, hold leaders accountable, and protect the rights and values that matter most. At Manitoba Stronger Together, we equip citizens not just to understand the system — but to shape it. Whether you're fighting for transparency, freedom of speech, or responsible government, advocacy is how your voice moves from the sidelines to the spotlight.

Votes vs. Points: What Really Happened in the 2025 PC Leadership Race - HD 720p

Leadership Vote Rule Changes At a January 2024 special meeting, the PC Party of Manitoba ratified new voting rules to be used in upcoming leadership elections. When political parties change the rules for leadership elections, members deserve transparency, not just about the procedures, but about the motivations and intentions behind those changes. While members were told these changes would strengthen the grassroots voice and promote fairness, the results tell a very different story. In reality, the system was structured in a way that suppressed rural and grassroots influence, ensuring that centralized control remained firmly intact. Throughout the 2024 Special Meeting and in the months that followed, we spoke with many members of the PC Party, and not a single one of them could clearly explain how the newly adopted voting system was supposed to work. From what we observed, it appeared that only the Party administration truly understood the mechanics and implications of the new rules. Given their exclusive access to historical voting records and detailed riding turnout statistics, it is reasonable to conclude that the administration alone would have been able to accurately predict how the changes would affect the outcome of future leadership elections. This leadership election technically complied with the new voting rules, but the spirit of democratic accountability was quietly undermined. In this post, we expose how the point system and voting method worked — and why many members now feel that the very foundation of grassroots participation within the Party has been compromised.
