It gives me hope that the parties that advocate for racist and hateful policies in Canada are losing.

#NDP leader Wab Kinew is on the cusp of history in #Manitoba #politics. He could become the first #FirstNations premier if the votes swing away from the ruling Progressive Conservatives on Oct. 3.

And it’s one issue that may be the turning point that results in Premier Heather Stefanson’s party going down to defeat, and that’s the issue of searching a landfill for the remains of First Nations women.

One Indigenous issue could topple Conservatives in Manitoba general election and install First Nations premier

In a provincial election campaign that has largely neglected Indigenous issues, Real Carrière says it’s one Indigenous issue that has dominated debates and ads that could decide the fate of the ruling Manitoba Progressive Conservatives on Oct. 3. And if the Conservatives lose, New Democratic Party leader Wab Kinew from the Onigaming First Nation in northwestern Ontario, would become the first First Nations person to hold the position of Manitoba premier. John Norquay (Métis) was the first Indigenous person in the position, serving as province's fifth premier from 1878 to 1887.

Latest premier approval poll from Angus Reid Institute : Scott Moe and Tim Houston only two above 50%; Potential problems for Stefanson with #mbelxn looming this fall.
