Khan started it. He seems to be following in Pallister's footsteps and that's not going to over well with those Manitobans who overwhelmingly voted for Waub.

Wtf on the video. Normally I want to believe a victim, but this is the Official Opposition Leader speaking publicly, on camera. Is he really just that vulnerable somehow, or is this a cynical attempt to make political hay out of alluding to what has been said of Kinew's past? I'm genuinely suspicious of everyone here.
The NDP threatened during the last week of the session to extend the sitting into the summer if the PCs wouldn't fast-track the government's interprovincial trade bill, while the Progressive Conservatives kept MLAs awake through the night on Monday, the last sitting day, when they demanded recorded votes on bills the NDP's majority government would certainly pass.
The report had some context but more is needed. What concerns do the PCs have about current legislation if they're so dead set on delaying it they want to keep MLAs there late? I've been thinking over the last while, the nation's premiers were probably acting so giddy about ~~inter-trade~~ inter-provincial trade barrier removal and/or "nation-building" because they can later campaign on how great they were to be a part of it. In that light, I can't help feeling at least some of the nation's Opposition parties might want to throw a wrench in the works.

The PCs have done this for years, so it's an understandable instinct.
That said...I'm not convinced that there isn't a little fire beneath the smoke. The 2023 altercation was inconclusive. I just don't know.
