A group of current and former prominent Manitobans is urging Premier Brian Pallister to take extreme action to avoid the kind of COVID-19 crisis unfolding in Ontario hospitals.
In a letter signed by dozens of high-profile Manitobans including Olympic medallist Clara Hughes, musician Fred Penner and former northern grand chief Sheila North the group is calling on the premier to bring in strict public health orders to ward off a sharp rise in COVID-19 cases.
WINNIPEG Indigenous leaders are accusing the premier of misleading people about a legal fight over a major flood protection project. On Thursday, Premier Brian Pallister held a news conference urging Ottawa to sign off on the Lake Manitoba-Lake St. Martin Outlet Channels project. It’s a $540 million flood mitigation plan. Pallister was asked how a current court injunction, granted to four area First Nations is impacting plans for the project. Pallister said the injunction was beaten in court. “I think you’re probably referring to the injunction which was defeated in court on December the 23,” said Pallister Thursday, “Where it was demonstrated in the court decision that this was a groundless attempt to delay the process.”
