Premier Brian Pallister had a blunt message this week for Manitoba small businesses hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic: suck it up, buttercup.

Pallister was asked Tuesday what his message was to small businesses forced to close their doors during the pandemic because of public health restrictions. Instead of showing empathy for people who have lost livelihoods, Pallister decided to lecture them about the collective pain Manitobans have endured.
