Heather Stefanson

politician Canada

Heather Stefanson is a Canadian politician who served as the 18th premier of Manitoba from 2021 to 2023. As the leader of the Progressive Conservative Party, her government faced criticism for its handling of the search for the remains of Indigenous women, including Morgan Harris, who were victims of a serial killer. Under her leadership, the provincial government initially resisted calls to search a landfill for the victims' remains, which led to significant backlash from the families and the Indigenous community. Following the defeat of her party in the 2023 provincial election, Stefanson acknowledged a lack of empathy in their approach, highlighting the challenges of reconciliation in Manitoba.
