Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew formally apologized Thursday to the families of two First Nations women believed to have been victims of an alleged serial killer, saying they were "forced to become a political prop" during the provincial election campaign.
Despite a unanimous vote, there was still debate over the matter, with one city councillor responding to criticism of the idea saying he is not the "typical white guy."
The mayor s inner circle has voted to reject a proposal to rename a section of Abinojii Mikanah, formerly Bishop Grandin Boulevard, following fierce outcry from First Nation leadership.
