20 years ago, my first job at the CBC (even before The Hour) was to rep an icon for the series The Greatest Canadian. Over a million votes were cast with 10 finalists including Terry Fox, David Suzuki, Frederick Banting and Don Cherry.Β
I was advocating for the man known as the father of medicare in this country (and Keifer Sutherlandβs granddad) β the legendary Tommy Douglas. (spoiler alert: he won, and so did Canada)
We started our campaign believing in you β the people of Manitoba.
And in return, so many of you put your faith in us. You came out to support us β some for the very first time. You made calls & knocked doors. You voted.
From the bottom of my heart β Thank you. Merci. Miigwech.
MAJOR LOVE AND CONGRATS to @WabKinew !!! πΎπΎπΎπΎ

@AngusReid New cultural phenomena such as cancel culture, redefining of gender, and a hyper focus on race in every issue are definitely topics worth further debate. But do not mistake yourself by mislabeling anyone who self identifies as woke. It will inevitably alienate
@AngusReid Seems the reason everyone was so angry, is bevause youβve very biasly miss defined Wokism. MANY young ppl people identify with the term βwokeβ as simply no longer being as apathetic and ignorant to social injustices. Over corrections are inevitable in any politic pendulum swing.
@IowaBruce Really, cause when I read the plan poison Cuban crops, and his authorization of Bay of Pigs, I knew then you're wrooonnng. I forgive you tho
