When Politics Trumps Civility The recent estimates meeting in Manitoba's legislature was marked by Premier Wab Kinew's decision to laugh and make barking noises at Tory Leader Obby Khan during question time, sparking widespread criticism.
Many accuse Kinew of failing to take his duties seriously. This incident is just one symptom of a larger problem: the growing toxicity in Manitoba's politics.
For years, the province's two main parties have engaged in a war of words, with insults and personal attacks becoming an all too familiar part of question period.
