Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister apologized on Tuesday for his recent and widely condemned remarks on Canadian history, but said his heart was in the right place.
Pallister had initially defended his July 7 comments made after protesters toppled statues of Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth II at the legislature that people who came here to this country before it was a country, and since, didn t come here to destroy anything, they came here to build.
Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister confirmed on Tuesday he hired a private investigator to gather information on NDP leader Wab Kinew in advance of the 2019 provincial election, a move one political expert says compromises the integrity of the province s democracy. Pallister confirmed the news when asked during a news conference on Tuesday. “When we had information brought to us about a criminal record that the NDP had covered up, and that their leadership candidate Wab Kinew had covered it up. We didn’t take it at face value.” In Kinew’s 2017 memoir, he revealed he had some run-ins with the law in his early 20s, offences for which he has since received pardons.
