A campaign based on attacking Wab Kinew, abandoning Indigenous victims of a serial killer, and jumping on the anti-trans bandwagon cost Heather Stefanson her job.
Voters didn’t appreciate Stefanson vowing to never spend a penny to search for two murdered Indigenous women whom police have said are buried in a city landfill.
The day after the election, with a receptive partner in Premier-elect Wab Kinew, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government was ready with an initial contribution announcement to help fund a feasibility study for the search.
