Bart Kives is many things. Tenacious. Relentless. Maybe even pretentious. Slightly off putting on occasion.

But to call him irresponsible for reporting on the actual text of a public health order...might be a bit of a stretch. This kinda reeks of #FakeNews vibe from a Gov MLA.
Irresponsible could be described as suggesting that COVID was less lethal than a flu season...
One could also suggest that irresponsible behaviour during a pandemic could also be using your profile as a Gov MLA to explain how to get around the household limit for Thanksgiving dinners...and encouraging up to 16 people to gather. #mbpoli
Looks like the Premier's director of communications is taking on a similar pattern of attack. Calls it misinformation. Weird, cause the news release he would have signed off on Tuesday explains why this is a 180.
I've certainly had my druthers with @bkives reporting because he digs more than most communicators/staffers would appreciate. And that is why he's recognized as a good journalist. I hope that folks working on Broadway can send an apology today. He deserves it.
