People showed up to celebrate the Canadian nation and show their Manitoban and Canadian pride!

“We’ll always be the true north strong and free. And we will never be the 51st State!” Kinew exclaimed. “Together, we will keep this land glorious and free! Merci, vive la Canada!”

The rally featured musical guests, food trucks, and plenty of activities for kids, with premier Wab Kinew addressing the crowd.

“The fact that somebody like me, people like us have opportunity to make our lives what we want them to be, that’s what makes Canada so special, that’s what makes Canada so beautiful, and that’s what makes Canada worth fighting for,” said Kinew.

People showed up in droves, decked out in all things Canadian, and the message to President Trump and the United States was quite clear.

Man, I hope I get to vote for Wab Kinew someday. He seems like the only politician in Canada who is a real person. Sure hope he stays that way.

I can think of several who seem like real people. Just very, very shitty people. The nice lady who knocked on my door for the NDP seemed legit.

His personal life section on Wikipedia doesn't look that good. But obviously he seems to have turned his life around. I wish to hear more of him.
