WINNIPEG – OPINION – Manitoba’s premier is like a broken record.
This week, the leader of the province that has the highest proportion of Indigenous residents, demeaned them yet again.
After being asked about Peguis First Nation Chief Glenn Hudson holding “relaxed lockdown” days during the holidays (families will be permitted to visit one household), Brian Pallister called the decision “a massive mistake.”
He said: “COVID does not discriminate, neither should we and we are not going to have two sets of rules around who gets to have Christmas and how it’s celebrated this year because we’re all doing our part to protect one another.”
