About this episode
Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister surprised many political watchers with his sudden resignation announcement, less than two years since his PC party won a resounding mandate from voters.
The move comes amid questions about his handling of the pandemic, as well as controversial comments about colonization and residential schools from within his government.
Winnipeg Sun columnist Josh Aldrich joins Dave to discuss Pallister’s rise to the premier’s office, his legacy for Manitoba and whether the pandemic changes will affect how he is remembered.
