The Canadian Press: Wab Kinew sees work still to do despite year-long honeymoon with voters
A political analyst says there’s no immediate sign of the NDP honeymoon ending, partly because Kinew has followed through on some high-profile election promises, including temporarily suspending the provincial fuel tax in January. The tax is slated to be brought back in on Jan. 1, 2025.
“Kinew has been putting through his election promises of last summer and fall,” said Dr. Christopher Adams, an adjunct professor of political studies at the University of Manitoba.
Kinew has also succeeded in reaching out to people affected by tragedy, including the families of missing and murdered Indigenous women, and has come across as empathetic and charismatic, Adams said.
