Manitoba has hosted people from around the world throughout its history, the Tory leader said. “ We here in Winnipeg and Manitoba understand what it’s like to extend our arms to people from all ethnic backgrounds and racial backgrounds as well.” Pallister also took issue with the claim on the magazine’s cover that “ Canada has a bigger race problem than America” and that it’s “ ugliest” in Winnipeg. “ I’m strongly objecting to the thesis that our racial problems exceed those of the United States of America... ” he said. “ In fact, I would say that we have a greater understanding of tolerance than any homogenous community outside of this area, where there is not a multi- ethnic, multiracial presence,” he added. “ It’s easy to say you’re tolerant in the absence of the presence of others from different races, creeds and colours. But the reality is… our province attracts people with hope. We have to make sure that hope can happen here. And I think we are up for the challenge. More than that, I know we are.” On Winnipeg’s treatment of indigenous people, Pallister said the key is for everyone to work together to build an environment where everyone can achieve their dreams. “ That requires all of us to understand that, yes, there is a problem, but also there is also a solution,” the Tory leader said. He said he would be proposing some solutions closer to the next provincial election set for April 2016. MACLEAN’S magazine calling Winnipeg the most racist city in Canada might actually turn out to be a positive for the Manitoba capital. At a minimum, it has become the hottest water- cooler topic of the week, said Ovide Mercredi, former national chief of the Assembly of First Nations. “ What we’re most interested in is getting people talking about the issues, which range from resource development to poverty. We want to try to find solutions to the problems that we all share and engage ordinary people in the dialogue,” he said. “ We want to change the conversation from finger- pointing and blaming to what we can do together.” Mercredi was joined in a panel discussion Friday afternoon at the Winnipeg Free Press News Café by former prime minister Joe Clark and Stephen Kakfwi, former premier of the Northwest Territories and former president of the Dene Nation. The trio is part of a group called Canadians For a New Partnership. Clark said there is a new awareness not just in Winnipeg but across Canada about the racial problems facing the country. “ What Winnipeg did ( Thursday) in response to the article was take bad news in the accusations and turn it into very good news. We’re trying to identify ways we can move forward together on issues that have been troubling for a long time,” he said. Kakfwi praised Mayor Brian Bowman for stepping up immediately after the Maclean’s story broke and, rather than getting defensive, calling it an opportunity instead of a threat. “ It’s an incredible statement of strength and hope that in such a short time he was surrounded by Ovide ( and others). We want to do something and we’re going to do it together,” he said. Mercredi agreed. “ The mayor made a call and dozens of people showed up Friday in support. Imagine if he had a week. We think Canadians are ready for change,” he said. geoff. kirbyson@ freepress. mb. ca Tory boss rejects Maclean’s conclusion Leaders see opportunity for change as a result of negative coverage By Geoff Kirbyson Ovide Mercredi ( top), Stephen Kakfwi ( above), former premier of the Northwest Territories and past president of the Dene Nation, and exprime minister Joe Clark ( right) believe claims Winnipeg is the most racist city in Canada will provide a starting point for change.
