Manitoba's education minister lobbed accusations on Monday that the vocal opposition against the province's sweeping school reforms are misled, as the outcry over the proposed overhaul shows no signs of letting up. He released a "fact versus fiction" page online because, he alleged, there is ample misinformation around the government's intentions. Opposition to Bill 64 is showing up in the form of lawn signs, like this one put out by the Manitoba NDP. The education minister previously said the resistance to Bill 64 is a "vocal minority," yet when asked twice Monday to name a single association that supports the government's reforms, Cullen didn't answer the question. Despite his requests, Bedford said he hasn't met with Cullen since January, shortly after the Spruce Woods MLA was named education minister.
