I had watched the whole news conference. It is heartbreaking. The premier singing a traditional song for Ashley Shingoose was moving.

Damn the people who refused to search the landfill. 😢

Reposted from APTN News

At a press conference on Wednesday, Winnipeg police confirmed the identity of Mashkode Bizhiki’ikwe to be Ashlee Shingoose.

Ashlee’s father Albert Shingoose had one request for Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew: sing a song.

I love this so much. At last we have an Indigenous political leader. He’s all out. This is a beginning.

Those poor women. Their poor families. This wonderful man.

cdn-birdie.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yes. It is a disgrace that every effort to find these women was not made at the first suggestion.

Wab Kinew is an inspiration for all of Canada, and represents a decency lost in politics today. I hope he inspires other politicians.

The fact that Wab Kinew is in Manitoba at this time is DIVINE! Not in a religious sense. It is perfection. You deserve him. Protect him. We all deserve Wab Kinew, but so happy he is with you for these women and their families. 😢

More of this. Political leader showing empathy and love for his people. ❤️

Just more of leaders putting people before profits please.

This is crushing, but I'm grateful that we have a premier who was able to honour that request.

It really is. I was bawling and couldn’t even get the words out about what I was watching.

The CONSETVATIVEs did not want to help... is it no wonder that we can't trust them?
#ElbowsUpCanada
Real Canadians stand up and help each other. Let's be more like Manitoba's premier and a whole lot less than the wannabe PM with 20 yrs of sucking at the government teat.

So moving. More of this is needed in our country.

I will not spoil this with partisan rhetoric. There needs to be a full and wide-ranging inquiry.

These are the politicians I want to see more of. Justin Trudeau was like this as well. When Wab Kinew has done what he can for the people of Manitoba, I hope he can bring his skills to the federal scene.

If we deserve him! This man is a treasure! I am happy for Manitoba to have him for as long as he wants. Then by all means, if we deserve his service Canada -wide ☮️💟

cdn-birdie.bsky.social•5 days ago

That is an interesting comment about if we deserve him. We probably don’t right now. But it is by having leaders like him to inspire Canadians to do better. To act better, & thereby deserve him.

I am hoping Carney does not get swallowed up by the hate & puts us on the path to deserving Wab.

Me too.

Another shameful chapter in our history of 'reconciliation'. Hanging my head.

Very sad, but needed.
