This is the equivalent of rural Alberta. Meaning easy Conservative hold and Liberals have no hope here. Not to mention Brian Pallister will probably get a Cabinet post shouls the Conservatives form a government. |

A fair indicator of safety: in 1993, it was Manitoba's only Reform seat. (It helps that there's no big patches of Metis or reserves or NDP-friendly urbanity.) Though there was unrest in 1997 (when Pallister ran as a Tory against Jake Hoeppner) and 2000 (when Hoeppner ran as an Independent against now-Alliancer Pallister). Now the right's united, and Pallister, the father of all right-uniters, is all but guaranteed a seat in a hypothetical (or not) Conservative cabinet. |

Brian Pallister crossed from the PC Party and ran as a CA candidate, and won. Going back you find the PC Party historically strong here. The NDP has elected candidates here before, but that was during the time the NDP was the party of western protest, now that the new Conservative Party is trying to play that role, it only makes it more certain that they will win again. |

I have an old friend who lives in this riding. I was asking him about things, apparently it's solid, solid bedrock conservative territory. Palliser can have it as long as he wants it. |

This is going to be a race between the Libs and the Conservatives for a couple of reasons. 1. Rey Pagtakhan is NOT running here, he is following the ethnic vote and running a against Judy W.L. in Winnipeg North. 2. Terry Duguid, popular former city counsellor and the guy responsible for CDC North is the Liberal candidate. 3. Joy Smith, though has to deal with the fact that she criticized her NDP opponent in the Prov. election for not living in the riding still DOES NOT LIVE IN KILDONAN ST. PAUL, but is an effective campaigner and will get all the churches to organize the religious right. The NDP nominated a nobody. The NDP will be too busy fighting 'Mr. Foodbank' David Northcott in Winnipeg Centre and fighting Pagtakhan in Winnipeg North to fight two very prominent opponents in Kildonan-St. Paul leaving a polarized fight between Duguid and Smith. I predict that Smith scares the hell out of NDPers who will vote for Duguid giving him a small victory. |

Brian Pallister is perhaps the safest Conservative in Manitoba, if the results of the 2000 election are any indication. Even if every other Conservative in Manitoba doesn't survive election night, Pallister and the Conservatives should hold this one. |
