WINNIPEG, Manitoba, Oct 4 (Reuters) - Wab Kinew will soon be the only First Nations premier in Canadian history after voters in Manitoba elected a New Democratic Party government on Tuesday. "This is a great victory for all of us in Manitoba," Kinew told supporters at NDP campaign headquarters Tuesday night. He said becoming the first-ever First Nations premier would show Canada is changing for the better. "It's a very challenging role to be a First Nations premier.

☆ Manitoba's Kinew seeks to oust government, become Canada's only First Nations premier

Manitoba had a Metis premier in the late 1800s and the Nunavut territory currently has an Inuk premier. Kinew, 41 and a former television journalist, would be the first Canadian premier who identifies as First Nations. The Conservatives, currently led by Manitoba's first female premier, Heather Stefanson, 53, have ruled the western farming, mining and manufacturing province since 2016. Manitoba's legislature has 57 seats and a party needs to win 29 to win a majority and govern without another party's support.

☆ Populist premier Danielle Smith overcomes gaffes to win close-fought Alberta election

May 29 (Reuters) - United Conservative Party (UCP) leader Danielle Smith's election victory in Canada's main oil-producing province Alberta on Monday is likely to herald further friction with Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, particularly over climate change. The populist premier's win signals a further rightward shift in the traditionally conservative province, and comes despite a series of controversies and gaffes from Smith, 52, since she first became premier in October. In her victory speech, Smith was quick to take aim at Trudeau and what she described as the federal government's "harmful policies". "As premier I cannot under any circumstances allow these contemplated federal policies to be inflicted upon Albertans. In early 2022 she announced plans to run for leadership of the United Conservative Party, which was born in 2017 from a merger of the Progressives Conservatives and Wildrose Party.
