Charles Adler wants to kiss Manitoba chiefs butts after calls to pull Senate appointment

Broadcaster Charles Adler says he’s asked for a face-to-face meeting with the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs and its grand chief after the assembly called for Adler’s recent Senate appointment to be rescinded over what it called “grossly offensive” comments he made about Indigenous communities 25 years ago.

“I am accountable for what I say and do,” Adler said in a brief emailed statement on Tuesday, adding that he looks forward to hearing from the advocacy group, which represents all 63 First Nations in Manitoba.
