Manitoba’s premier became emotional at his Thursday press conference as he delivered a strong message asking Manitobans not to gather over the holidays.
“I’m the guy who’s stealing Christmas to keep you safe.”
Premier Brian Pallister says he’s doing what he believes is right; advising Manitobans to change their holiday plans.
He lamented the lost opportunity to share the holiday with friends and family and make memories — but added that “we’ll have lots to celebrate next year” if we “do the right thing.”
“Stay safe. Protect each other. Love each other. Care for each other. There are so many ways to show that — but don’t get together this Christmas,” he said.
