WINNIPEG – The formal election call is still days away but the Manitoba Conservatives aren’t wasting any time.
The party launched its campaign at a boisterous rally Tuesday night in Winnipeg.
Conservative Leader Hugh McFadyen told the crowd of about 300 that his candidates are not only ready to campaign, they’re ready to govern.

He says a Conservative government will eliminate the provincial deficit by 2018 – four years later than the NDP – without cutting front-line services.
McFadyen says the party will have to grapple with significant financial challenges left behind by the NDP.
But he says that won’t stop the Tories from hiring more doctors, nurses and paramedics.
The NDP are also promising to invest more in health care.
Premier Greg Selinger told supporters yesterday a re-elected NDP government will cut wait times for cancer care and put more police officers on the streets.
Voters go to the polls October 4th.
