Elijah Harper, for those who are not Canadian, is a prominent figure in the post-repatriation talks of the Constitution in the 1980s, alongside Parizeau, Brian Mulroney, and PE Trudeau. Elijah Harper was also among the first members of a first nation to be elected into Parliament.

I just came across this story today, having missed it in local reporting in Winnipeg. The circumstances of the attack have similarities to the murder of Tina Fontaine. She was sexually assaulted, beaten, thrown in the freezing Assinaboine River, she crawled out, beaten once more and thrown in the river again. She managed to crawl out but the assailants had moved on to attack another woman. The second attack was less brutal.

The Winnipeg police have announced that they had arrested the culprits.
