  "textContent": "\n\n\n\nA Manitoba legislature member is facing criticism for saying the farmer who killed Colten Boushie in a high-profile case in Saskatchewan was a victim.\n\nOpposition Progressive Conservative member Josh Guenter made the comment while debating a resolution in the legislature about the rights of people to defend their homes with force.\n\nA member of the NDP government accused Guenter of engaging in rhetoric that could lead to to more deaths like that of Boushie, a Cree man shot a decade ago near Biggar, Sask.\n\nGerald Stanley was acquitted of second-degree murder after testifying that he thought Boushie and others were on his property to steal vehicles and the gun went off accidentally.\n\nPremier Wab Kinew called on Guenter to apologize and said his words are hateful and divisive.\n\nGuenter says there was a trial, the farmer was found not guilty and he won't apologize.\n\nThis report by The Canadian Press was first published May 21, 2026\n\n_By Steve Lambert | Copyright 2026, The Canadian Press.
