homas George Prince, war hero and Indigenous advo- cate, is one of Manitoba's most famous residents. He spent his last years living at Deer Lodge until his death


in 1977 at age 62. Troughout his military career he earned 11 medals, making him Canada’s most decorated Indigenous war veteran. Born in 1915 as a member of the Brokenhead Band of


Ojibwa, Prince was a descendant of Peguis, the Salteaux Chief. His father, a hunter and trapper, taught him to be an excellent tracker and marksman. In 1940 he enlisted in the Canadian army. By 1942 he was


a sergeant with the Canadian Parachute Battalion, and was later assigned to the elite “Devil’s Brigade”, a specialized assault team later made famous by a Hollywood film. Prince distinguished himself many times throughout the


Second World War. In one well-known story, he disguised himself as a peasant farmer and pretended to work the land around a farmhouse in order to fix a communication wire, which he needed to report back his observations of German troop movements in the area. Te Germans watching him were none the wiser. Because of his actions, four German tanks that had been firing on Allied troops were destroyed. Later he undertook a grueling three-day journey over


harsh terrain without food and water to pinpoint the loca- tion of an enemy camp. More than 1,000 German soldiers were later captured thanks to his efforts.

he term "urban market" is a fast-growing concept that is being applied more and more frequently in highly populated cities and


towns. An urban market is a locally based market that showcases various vendors offering unique and creative forms of things like paper goods, jewelery, home décor, food, drink and much more. Winnipeg based Tird + Bird business found-

We wouldn’t agree on policy, he being a dedi- cated socialist and me a true blue conservative, but different ap- proaches to public policy are what helps to keep the country on an even and balanced keel – practical and sensible but compassionate and caring – that’s the Canadian way. I even believe Wab when he says

he is very sorry for his past and I can certainly forgive him for many of his early transgressions. We all do things in our youth that could have shown better judgment. Even though some of his left a criminal stain on his record, it doesn’t seem that any were overly serious. Many people with less than pristine pasts have reformed and gone on

to pursue great futures as pillars of their communities. But one doubt nags me – his vio-


lence and the story of his behaviour toward women, the report of the two assaults compounded by re- peated misogynistic words in some of his rap songs. I’d share them with you, but they no longer appear to be available on the Internet – at least, I couldn’t find them. Accord- ing to an article in the Toronto

Te disappointing story of Wab Kinew


Star, he spoke of “slapping female genitalia and used a slur for gay men.” Te article goes on further to say that in songs, “both with the group Dead Indians and in his later solo career, Kinew repeatedly used derogatory words for women and their body parts. In a 2009 record- ing, he talked of sexual conquests, chasing skirts and of having made “panties drop.” But, so what! say his defenders.


He’s says he is sorry, that he was young and on booze, that he has quit drinking and is a changed man. Why can’t you just drop it? I would like to, but everything I know about domestic violence and women abusers tells me that the story is not over. Female and domestic abuse is


epidemic, with more than 80,000 assaults reported in Canada each year, while many, many times more cases than that go unreport- ed. Often, these assaults escalate to the murder of the victims and sometimes even of their children.
