      > CBC News tried for a week and a half to interview Kinew about this story, but his office declined

      Yikes. I was wondering why every quote in the article was from Khan, but that about answers it. Really disappointing and immature behaviour by both sides, but especially Kinew. You don’t win people over by doing this, you win by rising above it – especially those on his side of the aisle. If you take issue with attacks, be clear and incisive in your rebuttals, not this weird personal schoolyard shit. If you do find yourself acting this petty, at least apologize and make it clear that you don’t endorse that kind of behaviour.

      I don’t know, man. From the fall of Selinger to half a decade of Pallister followed by basically everything about Stefanson, it would be really nice to have a premier that doesn’t come across like a dick with an ego. „Call me dad“? Like, what the hell?

      > „If anything, it turns the public off“ from politics, he said.

      > „It deepens their cynicism about politicians, weakens their trust and confidence in the governing process, and that’s not healthy in a democracy.“

      Basically, this. We need a lot more optimism and unity in our politics, and engaging in this way doesn’t leave those expecting a bare minimum of maturity feeling like they have anywhere to turn.

    2. I’m not up on Manitoba politics but I’ve been impressed by Kinew this year with his comments about the tariff situation. Sadly, this CBC article makes him seem like a jerk.

      I’m with Kinew on this one.

      Some guy from Ottawa muscles in, as if he’s entitled. No public service credentials, no academic expertise, merely a retired sports player, who thinks he has a nose for business. Certainly, in the past he’s been able to secure generous public money for himself.

      My progressive Spidey sense detects shenanigans.
