Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister has officially become the pandemic poster boy for too little, too late.
Case in point: on Thursday the premier held a news conference on short notice to discuss two major announcements.
First, new restrictions would be put in place over the long weekend to help stem the rising tide of new COVID-19 infections. And second, the province will initiate an incentive program to help motivate people to get vaccinated.
