First Nations leaders on P.E.I. are excited about the prospects of Wab Kinew, the Manitoba NDP leader who won the election in that province this week and will be Canada’s first First Nations premier.
“I was elated. I was excited. I was very happy to see him elected to kind of create a new vision, a new set of eyes,” said Richard Lush, a Mi’kmaq artist and community leader who ran for the Green Party in the last Prince Edward Island election.
