Reality Check logo Manitoba Wildlands will be issuing a series of environmental Reality Checks prior to the expected Manitoba fall 2011 election. Each will be assessed based on one issue or question, and public information that is easily available. We will also be providing Reality Checks about environmental promises and commitments made in 1999, 2003, 2007 elections. It should be noted that information about Manitoba's lands and waters, and our environment can be difficult to access.

When Manitoba Wildlands issues a Reality Check we will provide: news item on our website, and any attached documents or charts. Sources of information will be provided. Where the Reality Check concerns previous Manitoba Wildlands news or analysis these will be linked.
