Money talk expected to dominate Day 2 of Manitoba’s provincial election campaign

The cost of living and the cost of political promises are expected to be the dominant topics on the second day of the Manitoba provincial election campaign.

Liberal Leader Dougald Lamont is set to release his full costed platform, which he says will outline his promises and show how they would be paid for.
