Dates set for provincial budget and two by-elections

Not a big surprise here:

Voters in Elmwood and The Pas head to the polls March 24, Premier Gary said today.

The two provincial by-elections will see two new MLAs elected in ridings long held by the New Democrats.

Doer also said his government will table a new budget for the coming fiscal year on March 25, the day after the vote.

From the Winnipeg Free Press. I'm going to be working on the Elmwood by-election, and possibly doing some calling for the other one as well. Additionally, I'm working on the muncipal by-election in River Heights-Fort Garry, not to mention a convention in Brandon in two weeks, so I'm going to be pretty busy most evenings for the next while. It looks pretty good, and from what I hear the government is still doing well in the polls.
