The Manitoba Metis Federation is accusing Manitoba's premier of using "race card tactics" over their multimillion-dollar agreement with Manitoba Hydro — and the federation's president is suggesting that perhaps the premier should resign. Pallister called the agreement "persuasion money." "Today, he continues his divisive politics by trying to make the resignation of Manitoba Hydro's board about a negotiated agreement with the Manitoba ​Métis community." The agreement builds upon the previous Turning the Page Agreement between the province, Hydro and the MMF, he said. Brian Pallister says 'persuasion money' reason for Hydro board resignations1:04Chartrand's comments were on the money, said NDP Leader Wab Kinew.
