Manitoba Progressive Conservatives put out election ad saying ‘Stand firm against the unsafe $184-million landfill dig’
Manitoba’s Progressive Conservatives are continuing to be dogged by mounting disapproval for taking out billboard and newspaper ads that highlights the province’s decision not to search a landfill for the remains of two First Nations women.
The families of Myran and Harris, along with a small group of supporters, showed up outside a Tory announcement Wednesday afternoon to protest the advertisements. Protesters drummed and shouted slogans including “search the landfill” and “bring them home.” Klein acknowledged the topic is a “divisive one.” He added Stefanson has indicated it’s important for the Tories to be “clear and transparent” about their stance on the landfill search.
“In a crucial election season, Heather Stefanson had a unique opportunity to use her platform as a leader to amplify the voices of First Nations women, and in doing so, all women,” Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs Grand Chief Cathy Merrick said in a release Wednesday.Chief Kyra Wilson of Long Plain First Nation, which Myran and Harris were members of, said in the same release that Stefanson’s campaign underscores the need for change.
“They’ve got to double down on some of the more emotional, riveting issues that have come up in and around Indigenous issues,” said Paul Thomas, professor emeritus of political studies at the University of Manitoba.The Tories took out a full-page ad in Wednesday’s edition of the Winnipeg Free Press targeting the New Democrats. The ad is titled “Don’t Gamble on the NDP” and contains smaller print saying, “With zero experience running government, don’t believe the bluff.
