Contrasts shaping Manitoba PC leadership race
In the Manitoba Progressive Conservatives leadership contest, Obby Khan a Winnipeg former pro football player cabinet minister and businessman touts a big tent urban rural approach while Wally Daudrich a Churchill hotel owner and party board member pushes a tighter conservative platform. Analysts note Khan’s urban appeal and Daudrich’s promise to shrink government and emphasize grassroots policy Daudrich has sparked debate by calling for deporting non citizens who disrespect laws while Khan promotes unity across the party and rural Manitoba.
