Manitoba government is rewriting history, former senior bureaucrat says

Manitoba government is rewriting history, former senior bureaucrat says by Steve Lambert, The Canadian Press Posted Jul 18, 2021 6:36 pm EDT Last Updated Jul 18, 2021 at 6:41 pm EDT WINNIPEG Two Indigenous men have quit their positions on Manitoba economic development boards in the wake of controversial remarks by Premier Brian Pallister and a cabinet minister. The resignations of Jamie Wilson and Darrell Brown form the latest chapter in the growing fallout from Pallister’s comments on Canadian history, which have drawn widespread criticism. “”As a former treaty commissioner for Manitoba and member of Opaskwayak Cree Nation, I cannot support this government’s rewriting of Canadian history,” Wilson wrote in a text message Sunday.

Wilson was board chair of a similar agency in the north, the Communities Economic Development Fund.  Wilson previously served as a deputy minister in two departments under the Progressive Conservative government and was the treaty commissioner for Manitoba, heading up a body set up by the federal government and the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs. A spokesperson for the premier’s office could not immediately be reached for comment Sunday. The resignations came roughly one week after Pallister criticized protesters who had toppled statues of Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria on the legislature grounds. Pallister said people who came to Canada, both before and after it was a country, came not to destroy anything but to build communities, churches and businesses.

Reconciliation minister — like his boss — is way out of his depth

Winnipeg Free Press By: Niigaan Sinclair | Posted: 7:00 PM CDT Friday, Jul. 16, 2021 Last Modified: 8:14 PM CDT Friday, Jul. 16, 2021 | Updates Alan Lagimodiere, Manitoba’s new Indigenous Reconciliation and Northern Relations minister, is a nice man. He’s Métis and, while certainly not the first Indigenous person to serve in that role, having one in that position is always notable. I know him and his family, because he’s MLA for Selkirk, my hometown. His family started the veterinary clinic there and cared for our family dog. I later worked with his son at the University of Manitoba. He’s originally from The Pas and has a mixed heritage. I’m not sure what Métis community Lagimodiere draws his Métis identity from, but Opaskwayak Cree Nation is right across the river and the two communities are deeply intertwined.
