When he was a boy, his father couldn't vote under Canadian law. Now First Nations member Wab Kinew is elected to lead Manitoba's government.
In a first for Canada, the voters of Manitoba have elected a First Nations member to be premier of one of the country's provinces. Wab Kinew led the New Democratic Party to winning a majority of seats in Manitoba's legislature in Tuesday's election, knocking the Progressive Conservatives from power. He will now lead Manitoba's government as premier.
And if you’re dealing with some kind of illness and you want to find healing, it has to be you to decide to move forward. “I can’t do that for you. A government can’t do that for you.” Kinew is a former rapper, broadcaster and university administrator. He studied economics in college, then became a radio host for the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. He was later hired by the University of Winnipeg as its first director of Indigenous inclusion.
