US EditionNew Manitoba Tory leader says sorry for campaign ads on landfill search
- Obby Khan won the Progressive Conservative leadership on April 26, 2025, and apologized as Manitoba's new Opposition leader for 2023 campaign ads about a landfill search.
- During the 2023 election campaign, the party ran advertisements supporting their choice to refrain from investigating the Prairie Green Landfill located to the north of Winnipeg, citing concerns about hazardous materials that could endanger those conducting the search.
- The remains of two Indigenous women, Morgan Harris and Marcedes Myran, were discovered at the Prairie Green Landfill, and their murders were connected to Jeremy Skibicki, who was recently found guilty of first-degree murder.
- Khan promised a new party tone including respectful legislative debate and has instructed staff to arrange in-person apologies to the families and related organizations.
- The apology suggests a shift in Tory approach, but tensions remain as Premier Wab Kinew denied congratulating Khan and both leaders denied claims of physical altercations in 2023.
