WATCH | 'They didn't come to destroy anything,' premier says:Manitoba Premier on toppled statues at legislature CBC News Manitoba 2:47 Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister addressed the toppling of two statues of British queens at Manitoba's legislature on Canada Day. "I think his knowledge of Manitoba history is about 50 years out of date, maybe 60 years out of date," said the member of Munsee Delaware Nation in Ontario. The spokesperson didn't answer questions about the premier's history of education on Indigenous history and culture. The statue of Queen Victoria lies on the ground with its head removed in front of the Manitoba legislature after it was toppled on Canada Day. He also drew ire when he spoke on Manitoba's 150th, neglecting to mention Indigenous history.
