    On Tuesday, the premiers of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario also signed memorandums of understanding to build new pipelines, railroads and energy infrastructure to move oil, gas and critical minerals between the provinces. Manitoba did not sign the agreement.

    Kinew said Manitoba’s major infrastructure projects must first have a consensus from Indigenous stakeholders before putting shovels in the ground.

    I’m glad to see this, and also very curious to see the consequences.

        I’m honestly relieved - if there’s one area in which I think his government has been lacking, it’s been the environmental portfolio.

        This restraint is a positive step, even though it’s been framed as a reconciliation concern.
