    Some have said that the “real” Heather Stefanson didn’t truly believe the anti-Indigenous, anti-LGBTTQ+ and anti-BIPOC sentiments of her campaign.

    If so, this is worse.

    This is an unsubtle, and deserved, shot at this CBC piece.

      Yes. I was disappointed with Kives. Basically whitewashing.

        I love Kives, and I think there’s space for a piece about the trend of Conservatives choosing relatively moderate leaders and forcing them to take a hard right turn in order to hold on to their position, because it’s a very predictable trend, but that piece wasn’t it.

    From personal experience as bad as we treat indigenous people they treat them the worst in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. This article is absolutely no surprise to me. What was a surprise was that despite it all Wab won.

    I hope we don’t lose sight of the larger racist systems of power and the people who run them.

    Great article and I forgot about Brian’s previous disgusting remarks.

    This win was a baby step forward.
