Winnipeg’s mayor blamed the provincial government’s “reactionary” public health policies for Manitoba’s devastating third wave of COVID-19 on Saturday.“The provincial government has been taking measures to protect us, but they could have gone and they should have gone a lot further,” Mayor Brian Bowman said, speaking during an episode of The West Block.According to Bowman, the reason behind Manitoba’s COVID-19 crisis has “been clear for many weeks.”“The measures that have been put in place just simply haven’t gone far enough to affect the outcomes that we all desire,” he said, adding that the province’s premier had recently brought in new measures that still allowed non-essential businesses to remain open.
