In the lead-up to the Winnipeg mayoral election scheduled for 2026, Manitoba cabinet minister Nahanni Fontaine has publicly addressed the candidacy of Kevin Klein. Klein, a former city councillor, is preparing to run for mayor for the second time. Fontaine used her social media platform to remind voters of Klein's previous employment with Peter Nygard, a fashion mogul who has been convicted of sexual offences. This association has raised questions among some members of the public about Klein's suitability as a candidate. The comments by Fontaine come as various candidates begin to emerge for the mayoral race, stirring up discussions around their pasts and qualifications. Klein, despite this controversy, has garnered support and is viewed by some as a contender in the upcoming elections.
