Grey Cup trips lead to accusations Manitoba premier violated conflict of interest laws
Premier Wab Kinew took a plane chartered by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers to the Grey Cup game in 2023, documents obtained under freedom of information legislation show. A democracy expert says that trip, and another flight to the Grey Cup in 2024, violate the province's conflict of interest rules, but a spokesperson for the premier says he went 'above and beyond all requirements' by paying the Bombers out of pocket for the 2023 trip.
