Inquest into teen's death, Billie Eilish backlash over 'stolen land' comment
Thursday, 5 February, 2026

As we've been reporting this week, an inquest is currently underway in Winnipeg into the shooting death of 16-year old Eishia Hudson. Hudson was shot and killed by a Winnipeg police officer in 2020, following a high-speed car chase, prompted by a liquor store robbery. Our Truth & Politics panel discusses the inquest, as well as the Conservative Party convention and pop star Billie Eilish's stolen land comment at the Grammys. Joining host Dennis Ward are Jennifer Laewetz of Paskwâw Strategies and Niigaan Sinclair with the Winnipeg Free Press. • • • APTN National News, our stories told our way.
