Much like a long haul truck driver, Brian Pallister has recently seen a large swath of the provincial highway in a very short amount of time. Last week, Manitoba’s Premier travelled nearly 1,300 kilometres to attend several events across the westman region. The itinerary included a pair of tributes for retiring MLAs, one in Neepawa for Stu Briese and the other in Shoal Lake for Leanne Rowat. As well, he participated in meetings in Swan River, Dauphin, Virden, Brandon and Portage la Prairie, over the span of three days.
