WINNIPEG – Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister announced all of Manitoba’s schools will be relocated to North Dakota for the remainder of the school year until the province’s pandemic subsides.
Pallister says that passing the responsibility of education to another jurisdiction is the best way to fight the spread of COVID-19.
“I have definitely implied this bold plan to Governor Burgum,” said Pallister in a press conference. “But no need to ask him or anyone from South Dakota about this initiative. I’ve been carefully laying this plan for months and they’ve already heard so much of it from me.”

All things being equal, I’m not sure people like me should be vaccinated right now. I’ll knock on wood repeatedly while I explain why.
