Manitoba School Board Upholds Flag Policy, Reinstates ‘God Save the King’ in Classrooms

A Manitoba school board has voted down a motion to revoke its flag policy over concerns about inclusion, keeping the current protocol that allows only the Canadian, provincial, and school flags to be flown at schools.

The Mountain View School Division (MVSD) board in Dauphin, Man., voted down a motion during a Feb. 24 board meeting to rescind its current flag policy, which has been in place since last September. Calls to include more flags, such as the treaty and Métis flags, have emerged in recent months, with newly elected trustees arguing the current policy fails to represent all students.

Sabrina Maddeaux: Manitoba PCs offer case study in how not to run an election campaign

It’s somewhat comforting that, in the age of big data and laser-focused analytics, political campaigns can still go so disastrously haywire. The quest to govern is still influenced by ungovernable human factors from charisma, to hubris, to reading the room so poorly one might as well be in the wrong house. Manitoba’s Progressive Conservatives have provided the latest example of a campaign that was driven terribly (and avoidably) off course by poor judgment and a fundamental inability to connect with voters.

Manitoba Waterpark owner caves to Muslim demands despite the negative health consequences

A Winnipeg Muslim family was initially told they couldn’t enter the pool because of the unsanitary, bacteria-ridden, full body-covering Islamic burqini the women were wearing.

CTV“About 10-15 minutes, the owner approached us and said that due to the burkini me and my daughter were wearing we aren’t allowed on the waterslide,” said the mother Halima Jelloul

Lilac Resort’s owner, Dan Manaigre, said he approached the family because he didn’t know what a burkini was and thought it was streetwear (It is!)– a major public health violation if worn in a pool.

“I want to apologize to the family because I just didn’t know,” said Manaigre. Manaigre has sent a memo out to all of his staff explaining what a burkini is and that they are allowed.
“Moving forward, they’ve all been told that burkini will be acceptable wear. However, they will continue enforcing no streetwear in the pool,” he said. In other words, Muslims can wear streetwear, but Christians and Jews can’t.
