For several weeks—months, even—Manitoba Progressive Conservative Leader Brian Pallister couldn’t stop talking about a certain object, one the incumbent premier could variously describe in mundane household terms or imbue with mythical symbolism. He would invoke it in business speeches. He brought it up incessantly at the lone election debate he attended.
Despite low popularity for the often awkward and stilted political veteran, Pallister won in 2016 the province’s biggest majority in more than a century for his first term—40 seats out of 57. In doing so, he swept out an NDP government that had ruled since 1999 and broken its promise not to raise the sales tax. Not content with that advantage, Pallister also called this election a full year ahead of the fixed voting date, to ensure sour memories of the NDP were fresher.

While it’s a potent political issue, after the Tories’ ambitious but rocky overhaul of the health system and closure of Winnipeg emergency rooms, Kinew’s is a strikingly conventional tack for someone with such an unconventional background.
Because the NDP are NFG.
