Cuthand: Ire over Adler's Senate selection a chance for reconciliation

The Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs has requested that the prime minister and the governor general rescind Charles Adler's Senate appointment.

Pity poor Charles Adler, a Manitoba columnist and commentator who was recently appointed to the Senate. His appointment has raised the ire of both the Conservatives and the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs. It’s not often that two disparate groups agree on the same thing.

The assembly has expressed its displeasure and asked Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the governor general to rescind the appointment.
