Manitoba's new Indigenous premier hits the nail on the head on how to do politics

It’s rare to hear any politician be transparent and talk good sense. Which is why I was so impressed with Canada’s first First Nations premier.


To be honest, today’s interview with the newly elected premier on CBC got me all choked up, because his words were so refreshing and honest and powerful. Wow!


Mr. Kinew pronounced the importance of rising above the negativity, noted the value of seeking unity rather than the more common divisiveness, explained plainly how he would finance affordability measures, and, last, but certainly not least, offered the panacea to rid the world of racism and discrimination.


Impressive. Here’s a formula to doing politics as it should be done.


I hope Premier Kinew will be able to keep this up and show the others that there is another way. The Good Way!
