CityNews Winnipeg: Manitoba remembers Pope Francis’ legacy as province mourns

Also offering insight into the passing is Niigaan Sinclair, professor of Indigenous Studies at the University of Manitoba and son of the late Hon. Murray Sinclair, who led Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission. His father played a key role in encouraging the Vatican to acknowledge the harm of Canada’s colonial past. 

While not a Christian, he was saddened by the Pope’s death Monday, saying when it comes to leaders of the Catholic church, Pope Francis’ legacy will be remembered as one that pushed the church forward. 

“I think very highly of the pope,” he said, calling Francis the most progressive Pope in history.
